Veterans React: HELO Edition

- Strap in for the HELICOPTER EDITION of Vets React!
Richard Ryan and Jarred Taylor have brought on Tyler Merritt, CEO of Nine Line Apparel, and former special operations pilot with the elite 160th SOAR, to discuss the finer points of film and helos. We cover anything and everything having to do with those metal busses with blades barreling through the sky - from the heroism depicted in "We Were Soldiers" to the extremely, extremely realistic aerial scenes in "The A-Team." We threw in General Patton gettin a little slappy with someone because... well, why not.
What else should we react too? Hit us up in the comments!

That jet attacking them is a Swedish J-35. In the second movie.
draken?
@@Manhattan_project.420 Yes, Draken.
'60's era oldie.
That's what I thought, looked it up too, good Google Fu.
I was going to type that in the comments but you were first. Well done sir.
Thank you
JT's voice over was great. Maybe you could end some more episodes like that.
We need a separate series, JT voices over movies, with other veterans to help out
Absolutely jts voice overs.
give JT an 8-ball and put him in a sound booth to do dub over's. show the orig video with JT's face in a min screen in the corner all wide eyed and a well "powdered" mustache. money maker
Lol, the gravel in his voice when he said “Jesus Christ” killed me.
Yeah! It'll be like "Mystery Science Theater 3000" for the military world!
"fix bayonets? i didnt bring my bayonet. but i do have this gerber machete" might literally be the most infantry thing ever...
Kilo Bravo Productions who needs extra magazines when you can carry more knives
no no it's a Cold Steel Katana with your name engraved in it that was only 449.99 from the guy at Benning.
you know the fucking guy.
@oldedude51 My dad enlisted in the early '90s and trained with the bayonet. A Drill Seargent could also use phrases/words that would be considered "culturally insensitive".
Not preaching to the choir, just sharing some supporting anecdotes.
Jed-Henry Witkowski Yeah. Same thing with the modern Army. Genius.
@@jed-henrywitkowski6470 to be fair if you need to fight with a bayonet I think you have the right to say literally anything to get your self hyped
That was actually a Javelin missile in White House down, and it can direct attack helos. As much as it hurts to defend that movie.
The airplane in questions, at least in real life, seems to be a Saab Draken, a Swedish fighter. I could be wrong though.
It is. The shape of the plane is so distinct it can't really be anything else
You are definitely right, F-35 Draken . I spent a lot of time on modeling this awesome jet. Also I love their newer j-39c gripen.
@@eddropper6488 I agree the Gripen looks pretty cool ngl
Draken F-35.
it is a f 35 draken my friends dad flew them
In We Were Soldiers Greg Kinnear played pilot Bruce Crandall. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Battle of Ia Drang.
Ed "Too Tall" Freeman did also. Crandall made 22 runs and Freeman made 20. Those guys were brave as hell.
Had a few friends in school ahead of me go to Nam....fortunately they made it back and said the chopper pilots they knew would go out and come back with them shot full of holes grab another one and do the same thing while they had to patch them up in the mean time.
new BRC slogan. "buy our coffee so we can buy a C-17"
Also the Fighter jet was a J-35 Draken
Uncle was 1ST CAV... .he flew hewies...
Like you said, HELL OF AN AIRCRAFT!!...
Also, job supervisor was on the ground when 1ST CAV came flying over the hill...
My uncle saved my supervisor..
In REAL LIFE...
not just a movie!
FULL RESPECT
best one yet, JT is hilarious
Glad you liked it!
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany We like it, We love it. Make it hurt Drill Sergeant, make it hurt! Woow!
@@blackhorsecavalry of course the CAV has to take it one step further.
Note: 4yrs at 2-12 CAV, 4BCT, 1CD before you get mad.
The REAL CAV!
4:20 Sorry gentlemen it's a Saab 35 Draken.
Fun fact, the F18's used for the Germany shot where the canopies are destroyed by the Herc are Canadian CF18's. You can see the false canopy painted under the fuselage, also no canopies were injured that day.
From what i remember Patton did get in a bit of actual trouble for that incident with the not injured private in Italy.
As been said, it's a Saab 35 Draken. And Sean Young's character is assembling a Stinger. Sidewinders are larger and take up the pylons for the Hellfires.
Incorrect. The AH-64 can carry 2 Sidewiders on the side of the wings, or 4 Stingers. So it can carry 16 Hellfire''s + 2 Sidewinders or 16 Hellfire's + 4 Stingers.
@@KH-ye6qg really? huh. Found out something new.
Did we miss any quintessential helicopter movies??
Blue Thunder.
Rambo 2 & 3.
Apocalypse Now.
Blackhawk Down.
I'm still trying to work out the Patton/Helo connection.
Love your Work!🇭🇲
@@downunderrob the guy he bitch slapped went into orbit
@@mjpraetorian4386 😂😂😂😂😂
missing in action, i don't remember which one
The final scene of behind enemy lines when the Hueys show up and go ham with the miniguns
KW's finally getting some love. Did Pink Teams with Apaches in Iraq and Afghanistan. All I heard from them was, " where did you go?"
My reply, "look down!"
As a former 14M Stinger Man Pad gunner and complete plane nerd, That plane is the SAAB J35 Draken. Also the AH-64 Can be equipped with the FIM-92 Stinger for air to air defense, The chick pulls one off her Apache when shes shot down and equips the Gripstock/IFF Antenna and shoots down a chopper. God I need to watch that movie again! EDIT: Maybe I should not pause and finish watching before I comment lol
Did they change the MOS number. I was stinger and I was 16S20. (we transitioned from redeye, 16P, to stinger, 16S in '81)
Yes and they changed it again to 14P after I reclassed in 2005.
Back in the 80s , there was alot of shit was going on in the Persian Gulf and allied oil tankers were being reflagged as US vessels . The navy was paying bonuse to undesignated seamen( E1- E3 without MOSs ) to become Stinger missile operators and ride on the tanker ships .
Wow I didn't know there were jobs in the military without a mos
@@Carimm60 I don't know how common it is now , but in the 80s and 90s alot of recruits in the navy enlisted without contracts for a specific rating ( MOS in the other branches ). They attended Apprentice Training Schools for seamanship , engineering , or aviation. Once in the navy they would work in their field then ' Strike ' for a rating . Upon advancement to E4 ( Petty Officer Third Class ) they were officially rated . The recruits that signed a contract for a particular rating were called ' Designated Strikers ' and worked inside their rating until they were advanced to E4 ( Petty Officer Third Class ) . I sailed with several undesignated seamen and firemen ( engineers) that chose their ratings after several months working undesignated. I was a designsted striker for the Operations Specialist ( Radar Operator ) rating when I signed my contract at MEPS .
Dude just do Jt dubs on STRIPES the movie any scene where Sgt Hulka is yelling!
The big toe...
Absolutely. that needs to happen
Fuckit* - have him dub all the parts!
Now I'm craving a HulkaBurger with cheese.
Broken Arrow, Passiondale, The Devils Bragade, Midway, Sgt York, be interesting to see you all review these
Yeah, lets do Broken Arrow..enough great stuff, and equal amounts of crap, to an entire episode on it alone!
And I like Travolta far more as a bad guy, wasn't a big fan of his..until his part in Broken Arrow.
Which Midway, the 50s or the new one?
@@unluckymonkey4382 50s
In the white house down movie, i think that was a javelin.
@@metalmarine8259 only if the Javelin has a direct fire mode, which I don't think it does.
@@brainfat1 It certainly does, you can switch from top-attack to direct at the push of a button.
@@JainZar1 Thanks for the info. Does that mode shorten the arming distance?
Definitely is a javelin IMFDB (internet movie firearms data base) is your friend when you see a weapon in a movie and say to yourself "WTF? is that"
And yes arming distance is 65m in direct mode 150m in indirect
The fighterjet at 04:20 is a Swedish produced F-35 Draken, sold to the US, by the Royal Danish Air Force when they were phased out and replaced by F-16As
I want to see y'all react to James Bond movies. Specifically Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies. He just does some pretty ridiculous stuff to which I feel y'all would have a blast reacting.
Anywho, that's my request.
Thank you!
If you check out episode 12 we react to Skyfall! Link below th-cam.com/video/OaozpGxN-wg/w-d-xo.html
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany Yeah! That's a great one. Dan Craig is a good 007. I'd just like to see y'all react to the Pierce Brosnan Bond, because the action sequences are so absurd. Y'all should do a Bond Special--that would be epic!
@@The_Archer132 How about Timothy Dalton when a does a wheelie in a Kenworth or puts a whole rig up on its side wheels to avoid being hit by a rocket...
@@firefighteruppy9121 YES! I support that!
Wait, when Cage shot the MiG, wasn’t he using those 2.75” rocket pods? Unguided? Not a sidewinder?
Correct, 2.75" Hydra rocket pods are NOT sidewinders..(or even Air to air viable at all, against a fast mover!)
You are correct. Its absolute horseshit.
The newer Australian High Precision kill rockets have a much improved capability, and could potentially do this now, but at the time 'Firebirds' was shot..no way in hell.
They had zero guidance capability after launch.
Didn't some mean motherfucker get a confirmed kill on a Cessna with rockets?
@@vampyr2936
Haven't heard of that one!
I know of some old incidents where Zuni or Hydra style rockets have got some amazingly lucky strikes..or unlucky ones, such as the accidental launch of 1 from an F4 phantom on a carrier's deck during Vietnam, that destrroyed half the carriers fighters, on tbe opposite side of the deck, in what became a huge inferno that kept spreading to more planes, etc
This was the incident that immediately decided all of today's inbuilt weapons failsafes and tech safeguards built into the Aircraft & Vehicles that carry & launch them.
So yeah, unguided rockets certainly do have plenty of potential to wreak havok, but their usually 'more ass than class' where accuracy is concerned. Its always a fluke, or a serious fuckup, when they hit dead on! That's why they are designed to ripple-fire, in salvos, for area effect.
@@bjlewis5431 Yes, but it is hilarious horseshit.
@@jingizu149
That it is mate.
Oh my God! "Fire Birds"! When I was around five years old I was obsessed with helicopters, especially Apaches, and 'Fire Birds' was my favorite movie. My mother would rent one movie for me each weekend at Blockbuster and I would almost always ask for 'Fire Birds' - week in and week out. I must have seen that movie 30 times. Years later I still remembered the movie but I had long since forgotten the title. I was convinced I'd never come across the movie again. But here it is! Nostalgia levels through the roof.
PS: As a kid there was only one thing my little half-decade-old self thought was particularly unrealistic in the movie: it was when the female pilot/gunner detached the missile assembly from the wing pylon of the helicopter and as if by magic unfolded it into a fully functional, shoulder-fired anti-air weapon system. I thought there was no way that any sort of vehicle mounted guided missile system could just be 'unplugged' in the field like that and then used as a manpad. But apparently that part was actually accurate. Mind blown.
The fighter jet is a Draken fighter, I was on Ft Hood when the were shooting the 2AD tower scene.
The jet is a J-35 Draken, also a bunch of tests and exercises the US Army and Air Force did concluded that helicopters have the advantage in a dogfight with fighter jets when equipped for it.
Also the T-80's (not T-82) Shtora system doesn't automatically fire the tanks gun, its not linked to the FCS in any way, its a lazer detection and lazer dazzler system meant to jam and disorient any incoming lazer guided munitions, and every TC whos ever used a Shtora system turns their turret override off because otherwise it'll throw you out of the turret if your unbuttoned and not expecting it to turn the turret.
Also also those ATGMs in the white house scene were Javelins. JT needs to review his factsheet before unloading.
which version of T-80 has shtora?
@@socratessocratous3864 T-80UM1 and Ukrainian T-84Oplot
@Libertate Veritas in theory you could laze a hovering helicopter with it but it'd be a snowball's chance in hell of it happening
Yeah, JT was damn right bogus and still he wanted to pin down the Tac Advisor of White House Down! Shiiieeet!
@@Archer89201 Pretty sure the T-80UK is the only Russian T-80 with Shtora. The rest are on T-90s.
the plane is a 35 Draken
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_35_Draken
Fun fact about the movie Outbreak: it was film in Ferndale, California. I'm working for a guy who was a part of the set crew, my mom was almost an extra (the townspeople in the movie were actual residents of ferndale), and Dustin Hoffman stayed in one of my teacher's friend's house. It's one of the most famous movies to have been filmed in my town. I can tell y'all more trivia about the filming of outbreak while it was in my town if you ask
I still think we need some reactions to the military fighting aliens/monsters. Battle Los Angeles, Godzilla, Battleship. Those over the top movies would be fun to tear apart
Fun fact: I’m a 20 years old Englishman and I want JT to adopt me into his dojo of chat
When is Jared's book coming out? Bro we need more history!
Drunken History by JT
@@sethlouey5064 I am 100% in favour of this concept!
Because of all the great facts thrown all over this is my favorite episode so far, thanks guys!
Awesome as always!!! Thanks guys!
You got it man 🙌 Thank YOU
Firebirds is some of the best Nick Cage 90's cheese. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch it.
The fighter jet in Firebirds is a SAAB Drakken.
Tommy Lee Jones is what makes that movie for me
@@Oi1Suzy There are no bad Tommy Lee Jones movies because even the bad ones are still good cheesey fun.
@@thegrandinquisitor8239 William Strannix ftw
Thank you. I was yelling at the screen saying IT'S A SAAB! CLEARLY, IT'S A SAAB!
Sean Young was in Firebirds also
Jaareed, it was a javelin in “white house down”. You can shoot down helicopters with them. The trainers actually have helicopter engagement scenarios. Come on JT
Just have to remember to switch from top attack to direct attack.
Yep.
Fun Fact: when the Range 15 movie was still an idea, the first time I discovered all yall was when yall first started resourcing donations. I was in this Facebook group that the great Jarred Taylor was a member in and saw him post about this epic movie that was the kind of movie I always wanted to see be made. Been addicted to yalls content since.
This has to be the best episode yet. Love the informational comedic commentary.
Man I love JT. Also coffee saves is the best coffee I've ever had
Solid choice man!
JT was hysterical! Definitely need him in more videos
One of the best videos ever. Love the voice over bit.
My Uncle flew Search and Rescue in Nam. He went down 11 times and went back for more every time till he was discharged.
He has always been a bit of a hero to me.
A longer reaction video to “We Were Soldiers “ would be awesome
Iron Eagle, Heartbreak Ridge, Rambo 3, Hot Shots, Tears of the Sun, Platoon.
Outstanding choice.
Tears of the Sun is a great movie, would love to see A Veterans React to that one.
These shows are great definitely keep them going
Speaking of pressurized tanks, I loved changing the dive vent check valves. Good times. Jp8 is delicious
That jet fighter fighting the Apache was I believe to be a J35A Draken
Just have JT voiceover all the movies. That was awesome! I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off!!
Best one yet, great stuff
This was one of your best ones yet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I want a 2 hour podcast with these guys just telling stories about their service.
Bring in the Chieftain to review Kelly's Heroes.
Definitely one of the most entertaining war films! I quote it just about every week xD

WE NEED MORE OF THESE GUYS! LOVE BRC!
Been waiting for an a team one. Awesome!!
BRCC bros: "So next up is..."
My headphones (at 400db): "BATTERY LOW"
Do more Voice overs! This reminded me of Mystery Science Theater 3000!.
The song that plays in we were soldiers gives me goosebumps every time!
Lay meeeee doooooon.
Best episode so far!!
The jet is a Saab, among the first fighters that can do the cobra maneuver.
What is a cobra maneuver? TIA 😊
Can Jarod Taylor review transformers revenge of the fallen and talk about Tyrese's character being step-promoted from TSgt to CMSgt in 2 years?
It could happen..
NOT
@@johnmassengale9186 it could but its rare as hell.
Hello from Kansas!! This by far is one of the best and funniest videos ever
The fighter-jet is a Saab Draken. Those plains saw service in the Swedish and Austrian Air Force
most guys actually supported Patton in the slapping incident, even the parents of the boy he slapped.
Not Eisenhower. That's why Patton had to sit out the D-day landings
These bring joy to my life and make the global pandemic more endurable.
Good to hear!
To be honest You can make any video's and I would watch every day! Hell these are just funny and honest!
Great coffee, great vids, Love seeing a 160th guy, My uncle is a plank holder with the Night stalkers.
ok the next panel has to be JT, Eli and Crispy doing cheesy Military Sci-Fi movies like Universal Soldier, Soldier and shit like that
Do a review for “Major Pain”
The JT / Patton overdub had me crying! Gotta make more like that!
The little I know about the Apache suggests that those missiles being fired were not Sidewinders, but Hydra missiles. This seems like an important detail for us to hammer over and over again.
Jt dubs... The new mystery science theater
I just had to re watch JT dubs my favorite is "your over here whining about,I couldn't fix bayonets."
I just wish I could post a pic of my fixed bayonet!
@@x-calibearusallc I bet the ar and ak boys wish they could have the right to have that lug for a boyonet
@Mr. Guns & Books mine is on a Colt 601 clone. The FSB has the lug.
@@x-calibearusallc mines a zastava and ruger 556.
Used to be an AVS tech, and spent a long while working on chinook simulators, during which time I got pilots to train me to fly the thing. Getting drunk with them and doing exactly what you just said, but doing pinnacle landings on the edge buildings. Fun times.
I missed this on the 11th. It is a great birthday present! Do a whole video of voice overs!
Watch 12 Strong, with guest star John "Warrior Poet" Lovell.
There is a low(ish) budget movie called “fortress” its like a knock off “Memphis Belle”. Or react to “Memphis Belle”. I love the WW2 plane movies.
Love you guys ! this show is funny as hell !
JT you crack me up. That voice over was the best.
JT needs to be a must on this show for every episode!
The jet in Firebirds jet would be a swedish Drakken
I genuinely learned alot on this one!
That is the most put together front line soldier I have every seen in Patton Love the tent poll also has a serial number.
The most factual thing about this episode was the behind the scenes Patton voice over. 🤣
More JT I don't care about the movies just more JT
AYYYYY, 9-line apparel! Love the merch!
Simply Awesome!!!
In the Early 80's the Apache was equipped with stingers.
I know it's not a movie or the ordinary stuff you react to but you guy really need to take a look at the Battle for Long Tan doco that came out not so long ago. A massively out numbered group of Australian soldiers were forced to hold out in a rubber plantation till support could arrive it was such a great doco
The high bird, low bird tactic was developed in Vietnam by Hugh Mills and the 4th Cav Aeroscout platoon.
His book Low Level Hell is amazing.
LTC Hugh Mills had 3300 combat flight hours and was shot down 16 times (if I recall correctly 6 times in one battle)
You guys legitimized Firebirds! Lol! I was an extra and got to see some of the Apache maneuvers. They were all legit in the movie, no CGI. They were the McDonnell Douglas test pilots that did the flying. Fun times. Have to watch it again.
Outstanding. Hilarious. Would love to have been there to see JT and Danny Sanchez flick crap at each other. Knew him briefly at Ripley in Tarin Kowt before he was lost.
That ending was hilarious!!!
Beautiful finish
The Helio vs Jet was with a Saab 35 Draken. Love u guyz
That aircraft from Fire Birds is a Saab 35 Draken (Dragon), from Sweden. First flight 1955 and was the first Supersonic fighter produced in western Europe.
LMAO OMG You guys are amazing! Loved the Patton bit. I have had a "wall to wall" counseling session, Straightened my unsat ass right up. You should do the last Rambo movie, especially the tunnel scenes at the end
My favorite BRC reaction ever!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video! My dad's cw3 Apache pilot
That fighter in the Firebirds segment was a Draken, a Saab precursor to the Viggen and Grippen.
I love watching these vids!
A reaction to 12 strong and a fact check with JT talking about the bombing scenes and how they did it woulf be awesome!
Thank you, so love these videos
Thanks for watching! What is your favorite episode so far?
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany vets react, scary movies part 2
i love how JT is just hilarious throughout the whole video
