Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

Been looking around and have noticed while you made a video on the stryker shorad but no video on the stryker itself so if it is not already could you add it to your list and if it is how far out is it
What is limiting you? There are longer videos on yt
I’ve always thought this is one of the most beautiful fighters, it looks like it’s going supersonic even when it’s sitting on the ground.
The F-20 Tigershark that was an evolution of the F-5 is one of those great “what if?” questions.
The YF-17 and later F/A-18 are the evolution of the F-5 in the other direction. In fact they addressed the biggest problem with the F-5 that kinda doomed the F-20. The F-5 and F-20's low wing setup, that limited the size and amount of weapons the F-5 and F-20 could carry. But both the YF-17 and F/A-18 have a high wing, like all modern 4th gen (except for delta wing Eurofighter and J-10) and later fighters do for the above mentioned higher wing load.
@@TK199999No wonder I thought the F18 looks like the F5
Fun fact: the first 2 F-5Es ever made are still in service with the Brazilian Air Force and were upgraded to EM standard, as these F-5s will serve till 2030 and be replaced by F-39 Gripens
USAF 11418 = FAB 4857
USAF 11417 = FAB 4856
Even though I'm Brazilian, I didn't know this information. 👀 Very interesting to know! 👏
Thank you. 🗿👍
in the Video he said the velocity is Mach 1.4 or 1472Km/h, but Mach 1.4 is at least 1700Km/h or not? anyway, I love the design, in Swiss we used it too
@@Ezekiel903Mach 1 is equivalent to 1225km/h, so when you do the math it looks like you're right.
Thanks for this video. In 2010, I served in the 3rd Main Jet Base in Konya, the nest of the Turkish F-5s. I almost daily saw the training flights of the F-5/2000s and Turkish Stars for 5 months. Good memories. 333. Kısa Dönem Hava Piyade Çavuş
The brazilian F5 haves HOTAS, OBOGS, EWS, HMD, IFF and 2 new proprietary mission computers for BVR missions too... Their fighters are complete disassembly and reconstruct with structure retrofited by EMBRAER, AEL and AKAER
I think the F5 is one of the most sexiest planes ever built, and it has the potential for so much more
One of the most beautiful planes ever made
Underrated cold war fighter. On e of my favorite aircraft to use in the ace combat series .
IT IS IN ACE COMBAT??? WICH ONE
Ace Combat 2 , 4 and 5 Belken War I think.
Right there with you
l grew up in a Town which Turkish 5th main jet base located. l always watched this f5a and f5b's flight. We went to this airbase with my bike and watched landıng of these birds with my friends. Good old days of 80's and 90's. We somwtimes saw U.S soldiers in City who were came to nato radar base on the mountain againts soviets , searching for blacksea region. An old f5a located in my Town as a statue
If the world most successful Interceptor goes to the MIG-21 or F-4 Phantom, then the most successful within visual range fighter has to go to the Northrop F-5. The F-5 often overshadowed by other aircrafts due to technology limitations at the time which resulted in lack of powerful engines, cruising range, powerful radar, max top speed and BVR missiles. But it was extremely maneuverable, cheap and reliable, those are important attributes if your nation's Air Force need to cater both force multipliers and superior numbers at the same time.
The sidewinder is the AIM-9, not 7.
One of the prettiest, sleekest designs ever built.
Love the F-5
It outperformed the F16 in air to air combat. It's only real problem was with wing loading. The F16 could carry more.
It would have been a superb interceptor for any country, especially those with small budgets.
A superb jet and a very nice presentation. Well done Weapon Detectives 😊
The F-5 just looks too good to be obsolete. 🤔 There was also the extensive use by the US as an Aggressor aircraft for training.
Also, thanks for adding lbf (pounds thrust) to your engine stats. While I'm an American Boomer, I like to get a feel for the metric/Imperial conversions. 😎
It just can't support modern electronics and there is not enough space for good radar set. In modern air combat it's all about seeing the opponent first with radar and then yeeting long range missile his way from tens of miles away. Once you run out of missiles you just run away into friendly cover instead of risking the plane at close combat.
@@henrihamalainen300 True, but it's still one slick little scooter! 😎
It’s so good as an aggressor craft that the US Navy tried to buy Mexicos F5 fleet(10 Airframes) for its stressor squadrons. Mexico said no cuz the F5 is the only supersonic interceptor we have.
It was an informative and wonderful introduction video. About F-5A freedom fighter aircraft designed by Northrop aviation company in America 🇺🇸. Video clearly explained all characteristics of all versions and video clearly explained its historical backgrounds rather than labeled to all countries owners of this aircraft .thank you for respectfully (weapon detective 🕵️♂️)channel..for sharing this remarkable video
I cant wait
The FAL of fighter aircraft
F5 covered by wapons defective, instant like❤.
Tive oportunidades de ver de perto esse caça e é lindo, velho mas tem sua graça
It is still being used as an adversary aircraft in the U.S., both by the Sea Services and by contractors....
The grippen is a great option
👍👍
hi question the aim7 is the sparrow as far as i know. i think the f5 only can carry aim9 sidewinder. 7:43 min is the part of the video. i love your content btw
Our mistake. It is AIM-9 Sidewinder, not AIM-7.
@@WeaponDetective okay See you in the next Video
@@WeaponDetective okay thank you. i see you in the next video again. bye
It's a bloody shame the F-20 (the follow-on generation of the F-5) was never produced in large numbers.
I am convinced that we will see a Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk derivative in the future.
I always thought those "razor wing" aircraft were just beautiful.
são ótimos caças mais já obsoletos, ainda são usados no Brasil como caça principal por enquanto até a chegada dos F39 Griplen mais ainda com seguem fazer suas missões de interceptar aeronaves desconhecidas
sem contar quer o Brasil tem a versão mais avançada desse modelo o F-5 BR
com um Radar poderoso de 200km e avionicos modernos de 4 geração
👍️👍️👍️
It's cool to hear that someone put AMRAAMS on that thing. That missile costs more than the plane!
I find the fully upgraded Taiwanese version interesting, because it can carry a bunch of AMRAAMs.
Malaysia was interested with this variant but ended up buying the MIG-29 from Russia.
@@ReviveHF Whether to buy Mig-29 or F-5 is definitely a choice more driven by geopolitical supply considerations than any purely technological "fair" comparison. Best jet in the world isn't useful if you can't maintain it, or acquire it in sufficient numbers, due to inconvenient geopolitical realities.
@@IsaacKuo You're kind of right. It's the geopolitical reasons. The story is kind of interesting.
At that time, Malaysia needs either F-5E replacement or F-5E upgrades. Taiwan ROC can't export their homegrown fighter called F-CK1 due to US political pressure but this restriction wasn't imposed on the F-5 2000. The F-5 2000 upgrade was the obvious choice.
However, the Taiwan doesn't want Malaysia's Palm Oil exports but Russia does. Also Russia desperately needed to sell it's latest Cold War equipment for fast cash, the result was the MIG-29 for Malaysia. Taiwan ROC decided to kill the F-5 2000 program due to lack of interest from the ROCAF and no export opportunities.
Unfortunately, the Malaysian MIG-29 was long retired without replacement so Malaysia decided to import the South Korean T/A-50, but still not the ideal MIG-29 replacement. Now Malaysia is trying to renegotiate the possibility of F-5 2000 upgrade or to initiate the possible imports of the F-CK1 but the chance of success is slim, so my money is on the F/A-18 E Super Hornet.
Foreign modified F-5 s have a multi-mode radar.
JF17 is that perfection and simplicity that the F5 could have been if it was not for the F16!
Suitably upgraded, the F-20 would have been a good counter to the JF-17.
Most cleanest Aircraft wow,
do they have this aircraft with single engine with another name ?
F-20 tiger shark
I plot the Ace Combat 5 reference
Sir, Greetings from Indonesia!
We intended to purchase Su 35 to replace the F 5 but thanks to CAATSA it basically got moot, but for your blessing we had since chosen Rafale sir 👍
I also agree about your ending statement on how there is a need of a counter of JF17 in the western world.
You guys gonna get F-15s and KF-21 instead of the SU-35. On the other hand, the F-16V and F/A-18E/F was the answer to the JF-17.
@@ReviveHF I see
Odds are the Gripen will take the place, since it shares the most with the F-5 and even F-20. Not to mention it uses the same engine as the F/A-18 Hornet and the Super Hornet. With Sweden's assentation into NATO all but confirms it will be part of any new NATO lightweight low cost fighter competition. Though that's not to say the SK F/A-50 won't also see some NATO or NATO allied buyers.
AIM 7 is the Sparrow semi active radar missile. Sidewinder is AIM 9.
We made mistake, thanks for your understanding
Reminds me of F104
I've always felt if Ukraine was really serious about getting a western jet ASAP, the F-5 would have been the way to go. But, when none of the 32 Airmen they sent for F-16 training were pilots yet, I realized they were looking at the long term. The MiGs will just have to do for the next few years.
Austria just borrowed them from Switzerland until the Eurofighter was delivered.
The Chilean F-5s were designated Tigre 3. They also use the DASH 3 helmet mounted cue system. They are currently stationed at the south of the country were the only potential adversary is Argentina, while F-16's guard the north.
How Iran able to manage It's F 5 fighter jet operational like engine
Reverse engineering, scrapping parts, black market... if they used to have a great number of these jets, they're probably sacrificing some to keep other ones flying.
It is said that the F 5s were better than the Mig 21s in a dogfight, more accurate, and cheaper to produce and maintain. Supposely, this is why the Soviets decided to make the mig 23 lighter
AIM 7 Sparrow
AIM 9 Sidewinder
F5 is the symbol of American Imperialism.
What a classic
You mean American Superior-ism
this thing is lighter than dodge ram
Ironically the Islam states that roar against the U.S. are dependant on these fighter jets and their spare parts.
The picture at 15:02 is of an F 106.
The Turkish Air Force never had the F 106.
That's definitely an F-102. The intakes on the F-106 are further back behind the cockpit while these ones are clearly right next to the cockpit, which is an F-102 feature.
A sad plane to wither away into the sunset. Definitely needs a good replacement.
F119 motor F5 gib
Arguably, the grandfather of the F-16 (F-15 being the father).
The advance version F20 tigers shark . It will be back in time. across world learn Ukraine war not ally will help you hard time so need ability fight or lasts longer for help come or peace deal.
#FreeWorld 😂
No range, limited weapons, no serious military ever used them 🤷
a joke of a fighter.
If it goes supersonic, it burns fuel rapidly.
So it needs a external tank.
If it takes an external tank, it can't carrier too many weapons.
That leaves it with 2 hardpoints.
One defensive missile and one offensive missile.
Air show is its ONLY STRENGTH.
But don't get me wrong, its a beautiful design and from it came the F18 Hornet.
The true functional F-5.
While the Western’s enemies already have plenty options for their cheap, easy-to-access fighters - such as MiG-29, JF-17 and J-10 - the West still don’t have their answer.
Simple anwser, the west has money.
The west has enough money to invest in exspensive aircraft, you also need to remember that all western strategi is build on air superiority and in generel just air power. So air power seems to be the main focus when it comes to expenditure and quality. Russia and china may be okay with cheap maby not the best aircraft, but the west wants the best.
@@master_shifu4208 but not necessary their allies. You see, the main idea of the F-5 was a cheap, lightweight fighter model that can easily produce en masse to quickly supply to the 2nd rate allies - some guys in Southeast Asia or South America, or simply anyone that the US are not trust enough to provide them more complex and sophisticated fighters with more secret advanced hi-techs like F-16 - at low cost.
Right now, they are lacking something like this.
@@master_shifu4208 Other than the US which prints money indefinitely to boost its military defense spending, the rest of the Western countries do not have a big military budget except for France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Poland, the rest of the NATO bloc depend on the US forces and asset to defend their territories.
Top 3 worse NATO forces in 2021 are:
Iceland's military spending for 2021 was $0 and is ranked last (30)
Montenargo spends $98.6 million (29)
Luxemburg spends $460.0 million (28)
Most of the Western countries in NATO do not spend much on defense as they rely on article 5 for deterrent. An attack on 1 NATO country is an attack on all, including the US. If big powers are involved, it's basically dooms day.
@@master_shifu4208you're american aren't you?
no, the west doesn't. no one has the support to spend huge amounts of the budget on it. guy who did it in poland just lost the election.
people on the west outside of the US aren't usually very chill of huge chunks of money being taken of transportation, education and healthcare (free) to buy fighter jets and missiles. it's just the way the world is.
The thing about air forces is unique and can be summed up nicely in the saying " there's nothing more expensive than the world's second best air force."
Those Soviet/Post Soviet/Chinese designs may indeed do the job against sh.t countries, but will fail miserably against Western Air Forces. Israel proved time and time again that Western designs will outdo Soviet-Bloc planes. If you're going to have a military and there's 1 area you should spend on, it's your air force. The rest is downstream from there.
THE USA REFUSED INDIA THIS FIGHTER. INDIA THEN WENT TO RUSSIA INSTEAD. RUSSIA SAID YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND. TELL US WHAT YOU WANT. USA CITED ALLIANCE WITH PAKISTAN.
