Excellent to see allies working together 👍👍🙏🙏
Awesome to see the UK supporting global operations with our allies.
I remember when I served on the Ark Royal in the early 1970s exercising with the Dutch Navy. Most of the Dutch sailors had long hair and looked like a lot of hippies. They were very professional and great allies. It's always important to exercise with your allies because one day you will probably need to stand side by side with them against the Russians. The threat is still there.
The Russians aren't the threat...
@@fleisbester612 Not for long once old cold war tech is obsolete they will never catch up but right now they are strong
The Aeronautica Militare's pilot (2nd) landed softer than Marina Militare's one (1st), despite they flew AV-8 since '90. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Disappointed for the lost of Royal Navy's one.
Has it already been fished out of the Mediterranean?
@@NJTDover Yes it was fished by net.
So every country operating F-35B aircraft can now operate off the QE Class carrier.
And was that an Italian Merlin coming in to land?
That's an SH-90A.
For now but we'll have to be heading back east as orders get delivered.
@@davidhouseman4328 what orders? HMS Queen Elizabeth will be making her way back to Portsmouth.
@@TT-hd3zinot so soon, just over the next few years. Japan, South Korea and Singapore have F35B in there future and are relationships it would be good to build.
@@davidhouseman4328 ah, I see - you meant F35B orders :)
Cor, that's exciting. Much better than living in Bournemouth.
Just head on over to 244 Holdenhurst Road, they'll help you out!
Interesting stuff.
🇮🇹 🇬🇧
👍👍👍
The Italian pilot will have his uniform designed by Armani.
How significant is lack of wear on the airframe because skijump/VL rather than catapult/hard landing?
The US F35C carrier version has to have a more substantial under carriage for the wheels as the arresting wires wear and tear is more than vtol ramp use. But the F35C version can carry more ordnance than the F35b version.
Good to see NATO allies working together. Hope to see relations get better and better and also to see more NATO nations keep improving their militaries. Could only imagine if every NATO nation had a nuclear carrier loaded with 100+ F35s. If only haha. Keep up the great work.
🤦♂️🙄
I think this shows that Nuclear Carriers are not required, just the willingness to host and work with NATO allies on the our platforms.
You know the US doesn't have and never intends to have a carrier with 100+ F35s? And the US flys F35s of none nuclear ships.
@@davidhouseman4328 What about f35c,plus the f35b on none nuke ships.whats that number plus f35a land based.
@@georgepantazis141 The person you are responding to is a known anti-American troll, best to mute and block them as I have. They will still follow you around though posting BS like " And the US flys F35s of none nuclear ships." When the USS Carl Vinson literally carries F35s and the Nimitz class can hold up to 130 F/A18s to which the F35 is smaller, could hold even more.
"Aboard Vinson is Carrier Air Wing 2, the Navy’s first fully integrated air wing to deploy overseas with both the F-35C Lightning II fifth-generation, multi-mission strike fighter and the new CMV-22B Osprey tiltrotor.
The single-seat F-35C jets, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 147 based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif., are the newest jet to expand the wing’s capabilities to project air power at sea. The CMV-22B, flown by the “Titans” of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron 30, will extend the air wing’s legs, expanding the logistical resupply reach for the carrier and strike group."
"In order for a carrier to deploy, it must embark one of ten Carrier Air Wings (CVW). The carriers can accommodate a maximum of 130 F/A-18 Hornets or 85-90 aircraft of different types"
Can these take off with the full load?
One hell of a way to deliver a Pizza!
Nah just taking some fish and chips
Anche ad Alessandria agli inglesi arrivarono le pizze calde calde....
Germany are thinking of building a Carrier but they don't have enough Lego bricks yet

I wonder why the door to the lift fan wasn’t Louvre or sliding door?…..It must create quite a lot of drag.
I expect a louvre would create more drag for the flow through the fan. I also expect that the door would improve flow through at launch and climb... Sure - at some point it gets in the way. I was curious that that F35B had it's door open during the flypast - My guess is it's slow speed required the fan.
The lift fan door is designed to maximize airflow into the lift fan intake.

Meanwhile the USA updates its F22, i think we got a raw deal here!
The F35 is still a great plane. The US also doesnt share the B2.
It's a big upgrade only because the F22 has lacked upgrades, nothing particularly special and of course the F22 isn't a naval aircraft.
There are Italian pilots brave enough ? Where have they found them ?
But why did the F 35 crash near Syrian waters. No answers yet. Not even preliminary ones.
Wasn’t in or near syrian waters
It was west of cyprus
Actually there's not official confirmed coordinates of the dive in the water. The only confirmed new was during take off, engine failure.
@@SUP_Bigans its already been announced it crashed taking off because of a simple rain cover
Secondly, RO8 was west of cyprus when the news broke
Which means you can guesstimate the average location
It definitely wasnt anywhere near Syrian waters
@@iracingrookie3301 when news broke
First thing i did was check RO8’s location when this happened and she was west of cyprus
What’s the deal with Italian merlin choppers? They still screwed? Like italians screw up.
wtf
We're not the ones who lost a 100 milion dollars jet in the middle of the Mediterranean sea
I don’t see any issue with it?
@@lorenzo4408 This could happen to all planes.
Your sentence prove only that idiot's mother is always pregnant!
