The British army decided not only to recall the very distant past, but to revive the cavalry for military use. The cavalry's combat path ended during the Second World War, although some use of horses in the military remains.
The British decided to bring the cavalry back into service to perform special tasks. A cavalry regiment has already been formed in the Royal Army for this purpose, according to British media.
It is stated that the mounted unit is planned to be used to carry out reconnaissance missions and covert movement over rough terrain. Demonstrations of the mounted regiment of the British Armed Forces have already taken place at the Longmoor training ground in Hampshire County in the south of England.
For concealment, the animals were covered with specially designed camouflage blankets. The exercise culminated in a 24-hour march with elements of navigation and reconnaissance, designed to test how effective horses can be in modern combat conditions.

Our scouts and stormtroopers in their combat zone spend several hours making their way to enemy positions and to the rear, using camouflage equipment that hides the heat signature. It is easy to imagine how long the mounted scouts of the British army will remain unnoticed, and then attacked, including with the use of UAVs.
To be fair, some armies around the world continue to use horses to perform specific tasks. For example, in India horses are used for patrolling and reconnaissance at the border, and in Chile — for reconnaissance at high altitude. France, Estonia, and Finland are also exploring the tactical use of horses. Well, these fences are also being installed on the border, which should "stop" the Russian army.
