  1. Utter Bollocks – Very misleading headline

    Its locals complaining about ONE training ground in Kent – well they can F Off

    Much of the training is done on Salisbury Plain anyway

  2. They’re complaining about an army base… being noisy? 😭

  3. It’s not like they’re practicing to defend their very culture and existence…

    Yet heaven forfend, it’s too “noisy”

  4. It’s not peace time for Ukraine, I’d be fine with them training next door if that’s what i bought next too

  5. Well they now have a very small taste of what Ukrainians are enduring constantly. It wouldnt kill you to get ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones or not live near a military facility.

  6. Likely the complainers are the same sort of tossers that move into country houses then complain about the noise of the sheep in the farm next to them.

    Totally selfish and ‘entitled’ people. Somehow, they always seem to get what they want though.

  7. Seriously that’s like a weekly occurrence in my neighborhood, I have people shooting tannerite, others just shooting targets, in the other direction more target practice, fireworks on the regular like mortars, don’t even need to go watch fireworks they come to me. Sucks for my dogs and their anxiety, but Live Free or Die.

  8. Maybe the complainers should go into the trenches, instead of Ukrainian soldiers

  9. This is beyond selfishness. Some people need to visit Ukraine to really understand the situation.

  10. The article is paywalled. What specific type of training is being reduced?

    I recently read that AFU wants its infantry to get more training on dealing with orc landmines, personnel mines, booby traps with hand grenades, etc. and also how its infantry should fight against the orc drones and large amount of orc artillery during infantry basic training that the West conducts. Basically, the West should tailor its training to AFU infantry more towards how the orcs actually fight in Ukraine.

  11. This happens a lot in the States, too. People buy a house literally against the fence of a military installation, then cry about the noise.

    “Why do they have to yell so loud when doing their big running thing? Wait, they have bombs and guns, too? This is unacceptable!”

  12. Who’s complaining? The area around Chelsea FC in oligarch alley?

  13. Wow. Freedom for All! Unless you make to much noise in the morning while I drink tea.

  14. Makes sense…my mother is from the UK (even if she moved here in Italy when she married my father many years ago) and she’s like, extremely sensible to noise….especially during the night. If she hears even the softest rumor, she won’t be able to sleep all night and she will be a fury to everyone the day after because she will be stressed and angry because she didn’t sleep enough….so I just assumed this is a common feature of the majority of the english people…(other than having tea at 5 o’clock….lol)

  15. I would have told the complainers to get fucked and Slava Ukraini

  16. “Sorry Gents, we can’t train you to defend your country and the lives of your friends and family against a tyrannical genocidal maniac anymore because it’s a bit noisy. Tally ho, better luck elsewhere.”

  17. Some people are so spoiled. This is a small sacrifice to help other people who have had their continued existence threatened. Good luck with saving your way of life and all, just stop with all the training; it’s disturbing our lives.

  18. Ok so I imagine grannies who blast their TV on 70 but can’t hear shit because of the military training 10 miles away so they drop notes through letter box in nearby base. Am I correct ?

  19. This is dumb. For some context for those not from the UK – Lydd is in probably the least densely populated area in the whole of the south-east of England. They built a nuclear power station 5km away because virtually no-one lives there.

  20. Ohhhh you Brit’s. If you’re not stopping for tea in a warzone and holding up the entire war you’re complaining back home about the beautiful noise that is infantry training…this is why we threw your tea in the harbor; you’re boring.

  21. The people who complain should be forced to watch footage from Bucha. Yeah sure bud go ahead and complain about how loud it is NEXT TO A FUCKING MILTARY TRAINING GROUNDS god damn. Absolutely repugnant.

  22. I live close ish to Salisbury where they do a bunch of artillery training. One day I was up the shops and the rounds were making the whole shop shake. No one gives a shit, even night training is done at a reasonable time. There’s so much love for Ukraine in this neck of the woods and the UK in general. Keep fighting the good fight lads.

  23. The UK complainers should get to hear some impacting artilliery shells from the Russkis, first hand. If they are concerned about “Noise
    “!!!
