Tell me you know nothing of the formation of the State of Israel, without telling me you know nothing...
Israel did not exist until 73 years ago when they were a settler colony that took over Palestine and have been violently maintaining their position ever since. If you don’t know this history here is a good primer to get you started:

The Royal Fleet Auxillary also undertakes counter-piracy patrols and counter-narcotic operations, like those seen in the Caribbean. Simply put, acting as a barrier similar to the United States Coast Guard in stopping the movement of illegal substances north and island-bound.

The Ferret funnily enough still remains in service with several nations around the world, Nepal, Pakistan, Uganda, and Zambia being examples.
Not every British soldier in the 1990-91 Gulf War went to war in a heavily armoured Challenger or Warrior. The Ferret Mk1/2 armoured car, used for reconnaissance and liaison, had been in service for 40 years by this point. The L4 machine gun was based on the WW2 era Bren gun.
