Taking NK soldiers who love their country so much they risk life and limb to defect, and then brining them to an open combat zone 1000's of miles away from home and hope they don't just run to freedom?... it's a bold strategy Cotton... I'll give em that.

Probably not. To my knowledge none of our recon aircraft have weapons systems other than anti aircraft defense. At least I know the SR-71 didn't have weapons. These are made to be invisible flying nerds. And as much as we want to shit on a hybrid aircraft, think of logistics. Fuel is heavy, and it needs replacing. I would wager this aircraft has a radar signature of a golf ball until that golf ball is empty and needs the Air Force version of a tanker truck. Less fuel: flies faster, stays aloft longer, more stealth, basically the idea recon plane. Random question here, being hybrid, does it put out a smaller contrail? If that's the case even more stealth from an actual visual standpoint
@@jasonflay8818 So, contrails are HIGHLY altitude and atmospheric condition dependent. Its not dependent on jet or not jet. You can see photos from WW2 with b-17's leaving contrails. The advantage of the hybrid recon aircraft is that its effectively running cold when its in electric mode, as well as being fuel efficient. Even radar stealth aircraft have a significant heat signature due to the jet exhaust, but this thing runs on electric ducted fans that are top mounted.. so its even more invisible to detection than its contemporaries. Also, its a similar planform to the B2, but significantly smaller, and the B2 had an RCS about the size of a bumblebee. So this is probably the equivalent of trying to spot a grain of cold sand floating 12-15 miles in the sky.

I'm thoroughly amazed no reference was made to the *weeks* it took us to sink our *own* bath toy in 2005, with the USS America. We know how hard it is to sink one of our carriers. I'm fairly sure we're the only ones who've done it since 1945. Of course, there was that one time we nuked an Essex class, twice (and then towed it away to scuttle it). Or the time we used ~500lb of C4 *very* specifically placed to make a reef. That one's particularly neat.
The only fleet carrier sunk by nukes was the USS Saratoga. She was a Lexington class carrier, not an Essex class, and it took 2 nukes to sink her - the second one was 400 yards away and 93 feet underwater.
@@erichammond9308 I was actually meaning to refer to the Independence, which *wasn't* sunk in Crossroads (actually surviving instead), though I was still off, that one was lead on her own Independence class. It was the Oriskany (the great carrier reef) that was the Essex. I'd forgotten Crossroads got the Saratoga.

From what I can read about the Shepard, the hybrid tech will allow it to fly for longer, and will make it harder to detect. Both good qualities for a stealth recon spy drone.
@@thatjeff7550 I extrapolate that the SHEPARD will be able to turn it's fossil fuel generator off and operate on battery power when near the enemy, thus producing zero emissions that could be used to track it, and be extremely quiet since the noise from the combustion only happens if you run the generator.
@@CeeJayDK Sure, but the way these things work somebody chose a word first and then made up something to fit as an acronym - it’s not something pronounceable just by chance. (See how the R doesn’t actually fit.)
Jokes aside, it's worth noting that the new Rolls F130 engines that we're sticking on the Buff are *much* more fuel efficient than the old TF-33s. They're also more powerful, but Grandpa Buff is getting a substantial decrease in fuel consumption in the process (which has the added benefit of a longer unrefueled range).
I still wish the airforce could have persuaded its self that going with a single engine per pylon was a better idea. Still, given that they are sticking with two engines per pylon, I can't really fault their choice for a replacement. I'm more of a GE fan, but I admit that the Rolls is probably going to be a good choice.
@@sadlerbw9 And have to redo all the flow field and wing load analysis? Hard pass. Read up on WHY they did it this way. It saved years, and hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention re-certifying all the weapons again. The SOW specifically called out that the flow field, weigh and balance, and weapon separation had to be the same as the TF-33. It's a smart move. The number of engines is fine, it's no big deal. The fuel savings and parts inventory using a modern commercial engine are huge.

The hybrid propulsion system is not actually a terrible idea in a number of military applications; In aircraft, if it's running on electric power, it means it's not making nearly as much heat, so if you're trying to be thermally stealthy as well as physically stealthy, it'll make that thing pretty much invisible to _everything._ Even hybrid tanks are absolutely terrifying, because just think of an armored vehicle that has no engine noise, can sit in a hidden position, and simply wait for enemy troops to approach while being nearly invisible to thermals and not making a sound while using its electric motors to silently aim the turret...

Hybrid seems like a way better idea if they can make it work. Better fuel economy means longer range and better loiter time. The BUFF doesn’t really matter because the BUFF is too big, slow, and vulnerable to operate in contested airspace anyway, so needing a tanker is less of an issue.
“A flying Prius” killed me man, but I do gotta say, finding cleaner alternatives for all aviation fuels is a pretty great, as it stand right now they’re one of the worst polluters as far as transportation goes so any progress towards a greener air travel is gonna be good for our planet, I get keeping it under lock and key but we should really be researching commercial uses for those hybrid engines, I’m also hoping we can find an efficiency rating similar to aviation fuels, we only have one planet right now so destroying it kinda screws over, ya know, everyone
Ironically, the antimatter might not be the hardest part of making a photon torpedo. Creating antimatter is stupidly expensive, but it can be done. Creating a good enough magnetic containment system for it isn't going to be easy. Then, we need to figure out the warp field sustainer (that is, of course, after we figure out warp).
@@lonnyyoung4285 We could always seal antimatter in the hollow space enclosed by a buckyball... Electrostatic repulsion keeps it from contacting the normal matter of the containment, no energy input required. Of course, the trick there is detonating it... but it's not _that_ hard.

Yep, they have been hybrid for longer than we have had hybrid cars. There are other machines too, but people get bored when serious tech is at work sometimes.
I've only heard him quoted at this point, but Jerry is my new favorite character.
3:33 WAIT WAIT.. WOAH.. NO LUB,,, WE GOING IN DRY
As the artillery shell picture said, "The dildo of justice rarely arrives lubricated."
22: "But how will I get the glove on?"
Now just imagine stealth Prius just sitting up there for days at a time just relaying data and firing solutions without the adversary knowing.
As the nation with eyes and ears on everything, I see ways to further the lead as an absolute win.
Russia saying "Hey bestie, why don't we shut the fuck up right now" is everything I didn't realize my day needed
I hope the first ace from The Kid has a honorary Ace racoon.
Assuming the hybrid surveillance drone makes is more fuel efficient, it would mean it can stay on station longer, which is a good thing, Grandpa Buff.
I like that the 22’s raccoon is just cannon at this point
If we get an MCU crossover and find out it's been Rocket all along, it might make too much sense.
@xxpoisonblxx can you imagine if Rocket got a hold of the kid? He'd turn him into Star Scream, except he doesn't suck.
...... Well it's canon in this instance but it could also be cannon knowing the kid. SO canon raccoon cannon? Gotta love English. Thanks for nothing ya wack redcoats.
@@xxpoisonblxx so what I'm hearing is that we need HLC to start crowdfunding to pay Bradley Cooper enough money on Cameo to record Rocket's part of the skit?
@@danielmclellan1522 I don't hate that idea. Might have some problems with mice lawyers though...
I really want to meet his Raccoon friend, its probably the only thing that keeps the kid contained
It’s his emotional support animal.🦝
I think Rocket and the kid have teamed up
@@Uluze2 Now That is SCARY . But Wow the Effectivness
Hybrid seems like a way better idea if they can make it work. Better fuel economy means longer range and better loiter time. The BUFF doesn’t really matter because the BUFF is too big, slow, and vulnerable to operate in contested airspace anyway, so needing a tanker is less of an issue.
HA....Russia has glide bombs and BUFF can drop how many cruise missiles?
I always wondered why they made AC-130s instead of making AB-52s.
Fucking Jerry at the pentagon.
He’s not wrong though.
Have we met Jerry? I feel like we need to meet Jerry.
Jerry's quote was scary, the other quote was just spitting facts.
Take him out to dinner first.
@@ianyoder2537 Not breakfast after 1300?
Premature detonation , fucking hit
You'd think that people would realize that spending less money on gas means more money for bullets & explosives.
Let’s keep it going. If big Kim wants to tell the world how big he is then let’s show the world how small he really is.
Love the channel HLC keep up the awesome work, your videos always make me laugh 😂
Finally, the Raptor befriended the racoon.
They bonded once Rocket realized the Kid shares his enthusiasm for firepower.
@@danielmclellan1522 or someone brought a second mic nugget for the Raptor.
“A flying Prius” killed me man, but I do gotta say, finding cleaner alternatives for all aviation fuels is a pretty great, as it stand right now they’re one of the worst polluters as far as transportation goes so any progress towards a greener air travel is gonna be good for our planet, I get keeping it under lock and key but we should really be researching commercial uses for those hybrid engines, I’m also hoping we can find an efficiency rating similar to aviation fuels, we only have one planet right now so destroying it kinda screws over, ya know, everyone
It'll be easy to make a very efficient hybrid when you no longer need to design around low signature restrictions.
Jerry's right though: Breakfast after 1:00 is just lunch...
" A Prius with with wing's" quote to remember.👏
I burst out laughing so hard when I heard it
As long as the RCS is smaller than a lunchbox, I think we'll be fine.
The Kid is a Delight and should be feared and loved equally. 😂
When does the Buff get those Photon Torpedoes? Next he needs Phasers and a Warp Drive.
At the very least, a good impulse drive.
We've seen him in that guise this whole time, we just didn't recognize him.
He was the Constitution-class.
Ironically, the antimatter might not be the hardest part of making a photon torpedo. Creating antimatter is stupidly expensive, but it can be done. Creating a good enough magnetic containment system for it isn't going to be easy. Then, we need to figure out the warp field sustainer (that is, of course, after we figure out warp).
@@lonnyyoung4285 stupidly expensive: the definition of American military projects.
@@lonnyyoung4285 We could always seal antimatter in the hollow space enclosed by a buckyball... Electrostatic repulsion keeps it from contacting the normal matter of the containment, no energy input required.
Of course, the trick there is detonating it... but it's not _that_ hard.
Always makes me smile! Love the Buff!
NATO doesn't have enough space for that many North Korean defectors...
If they are actual engineers, you never know. They’ll be really used to working with the worst supplies and the threat of being shot for messing up.
Let Ukraine keep em.
We do! We’re actually building a whole new giant airbase in Romania remember? Would be nice to have some engineers to help that’ll work for cheap so long as we feed & take care of them!
"Breakfast served after 1pm is just lunch" - Jerry
God, I hope this becomes a shirt! 😂
does the houthi missile go "yemeni yemeni reeba reeba reeba"?
Speedy bin Zales?
Probably "Adhhab, adhhab.... Fawaq..."
Though it's kinda hard figuring out if that last part is Arabic or just heavily accented English...
"But... Our missile goes really fast."
You know what else goes fast? Bullets, but it doesn't mean anything if you can't hit the broadside of a barn.
Hypersonics are way faster than a bullet my man.
@@jkflipflop98 obviously. It's a joke about how they can't hit anything either way though.
What is more of an insult to our enemies and then weaponizing a flying Prius? LoL
We already did a crop duster LoL
First of all, look, the Sky Warden is actually kinda neat. Secondly... yeah, it kinda is a jab, since everyone bold enough to step up is so far behind that we've *really* gotta step things back a bit to keep it fair.
What’s next, a school bus?
@@AlexWalford-jm3mg think of it this way if you could ruggedized hellfires where they could handling the shocks of traveling overland, it would make a great missile bus ... The crossing guard can laze out in front... 😜
"Breakfast served after 1PM is just lunch"
Russian soldier eating 10 year old MRE: "Ugh, this food is terrible, not fit for dog!" North Korean soldier: "You guys get FOOD?"
(Canadain) 'So America, if North Korea gets to join the fray, how about you send us in too, well really show them a good time there bud'
Ya we got a couple Scottish regiments that really just wanna giv'r. Don worry aboot it, it'd be our pleasure.
Quick, John, get the Geneva checklist.
SEND ME IN COACH
Not yet bud, once we get done sharping hockey sticks, about 70% Complete, so we're almost ready bud....
Ah more of my favorite news channel!
You could say that was a prius-toric development in aviation.
"My raccoon friend..."
As long as he's not talking about frog, hare, and falcon friends... and developing an unhealthy obsession with barrel rolls.
Wise words to live by "Breakfast after 1PM is just lunch" -The Pentagon
No no not the Pentagon...Jerry from the pentagon
Well sorry that I decided to break my fast in the afternoon.
Is it second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, or second lunch?
@@Thor_Odinson yes
I don't why, but the kid saying an obvious statement is metal AF
I LOVE your videos! Thank you for making me laugh with grandpa buff and the kid and the other characters! Your videos are greatly appreciated
Grandpa! Think about it. "Russia, you just got punked by a flying Prius."
I love how no matter wimp and weird the 22 is you always know that if he gets released he and grandpa buff will stand and end ww3 in a day.
You should have used a blank screen for the Shepard
"The North Korea soldiers willbe cannon fodder". Holy shit that general aint playin
The bigger question, whose cannon?
R&D in North Korea is working hard trying not to starve
Makes me wonder if they're just carefully treading the line between failure and success to stay essential, avoiding the project finishing, which would make them a sudden liability...
Buff's upgrade follows the cardinal principle:
"If it's bad, but big, it's good! 'MURICA!"
Ooh, can we have a competition to name the successor to Operation Praying Mantis ? I vote for Operation Bug Hunt in honour of Private Hudson , of the Sularco.
"But... it goes really fast..."
That's what she said.
...disappointedly. 😢
The Shepard had me rolling man. Stereotypical nerd and I'm fucking here for it. XD
I really like these longer versions. Keep it up 💪 too funny for just shorts 🇺🇸💪
That prius with wings are probably gonna be in the air longer than most of the other stealth aircraft. Keep that in mind.
That could be one of the biggest advantages to it.
Surprisingly, I'm more concerned about the raccoon than I am about the 55-gallon drum. I swear, that kid ain't right in the head.
It's okay Kim, 1 in 5 men suffer from such things
Its more common in the obese no?
Remember the whole mustache boys signing a very serious pact that totally didn't end in a thorough stab fest toward the red, hammer, and potato guys? Yeah... Them neither 😅
Had the kid's hopes up for a moment
I got WAYYYYY too excited when America brought in the kid 🤣🤣🤣
Prius with wings 😂😂😂😂 omg I'm dying hahahahaha
I love how the Kid has a whole background arc with that raccoon. He was fighting it for a chicken nugget before, now they’re friends.
I absolutely love Grandpa Buff 💪.
Love the comedic irony :”breakfast served at 1pm is just lunch” hilarious.
Shout out to Jerry, who works at the Pentagon! All my homies love Jerry, who works at the Pentagon!
FACTS🫡🇺🇸👍🏻”Jerry”
I was not expecting an ineffective missle get turned into an ED joke. I'm not upset about it
A Prius with wings...
Bruh! 😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂
The Kid’s packing list asks so many questions, that I DON’T want answered! PLEASE, keep me in the dark! I’m beginning to like it here.
Thse voice for that fkn "Prius with wings" 😂😂😂
Harold Green enters the scene as "new guy", love it
2:05 Kept expecting him to push up his glasses. 🤓
3:04 they're going to send the troops over and then the troops run
I am the first
Probably
Hate to inform you but you aren’t
There's one guy that got here in one minute
Jrkanning6994 was first
Nope
Aw. Shepard is so adorable. I hope The Kid doesn't do anything to ruin him.
I want you to know, your videos got me back Into playing ace combat. I use the 22 to intercept SU-57s while playing your videos in the background. It's the least I can do for the kid.
Also I rediscovered my love for the YF-23 black widow or as I've been calling it, the F22s bigger brother.
"Breakfast after one pm is just lunch" TOTALLY sounds like something Ron Swanson would say. 😂
Imagine being cannon fodder for a military that is already half cannon fodder😂
I like that the Kid is a fellow Earl Grey tea fan.
Prius with wings killed me 😆 🤣 😂
