Yes = USA should b ring all allies together and keep adding Allies from EVERY Continent to join and engage threats and DO NOT "Over-extend" beyond being manage-able❤
The nuclear weapons (406) mentioned are just the ones on land. I think the US has over 5200 of them and Russia has more than that. However, during the height of the cold war it was estimated that each country had over 15 thousand and many of them were in the megaton range, so there has been quite a bit of progress in the aim to reduce these weapons. Due to current world events and the fact that Russia has backed out of some treaties related to nuclear weapons, the US has started newer research and upgrades. I think the largest deployed nuclear warhead is the B-83 at 1.2 megatons. The US uses something in its weapons called dialable yield which means it can be adjusted before launch to the desired yield of explosive. Scary times. Cold war 2.0.
You could safely bet on that. One of our recent Presidents slipped, and admitted to having the ability to take “ET” back home! The world was shocked by the Apache helicopter, and I witnessed them flying over APG for several years before they were announced. Same goes for the F117, the F22, the B-one, B2 and even the F35 series to some degree. But that one got leaked early in Popular Science magazine. Only an idiot would think all those military satellites are for observation and communication! The government has plenty of secret weapons tucked away just in case.
It is LARGER now and the best weapons are not known to the public. First thing that will be done on an all-out global war will be that USA shuts down ALL GLOBAL COMMINICATION. How will the Millennials know what to do then??❤😮
They are not classified as “Assault” Carriers. The U.S. Navy has never used the term “Assault” They have used CVA and CVAN, but the “A” stood for “Attack” back in roughly the 1960’s or so. The “A” or “Attack” designation was dropped and the U.S. Navy designated all aircraft carriers as either “CV” for non-nuclear aircraft carriers or “CVN” for nuclear aircraft carriers. The “CV” designation has also fallen out of use as the last U.S. oil fueled aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (CV-63), was decommissioned on 12 May 2009. Now that the U.S. Navy only has nuclear aircraft carriers, only the “CVN” designation is used.
I was lucky enough to work the F117 Stealth FIGHTER during my 20 years in service it was one of my favorites my favorite the F4 Phantom II then probably the F 16 Fighting Falcon The F designator on the F 117 was correct because it was CAPABLE of firing Air to Air munitions so it wouldn't fall under Bomber Aircraft under the SALT Treaty but was never configured for them in Combat
America's Finest City, San Diego, California, has approximately 7% military related population. You can't throw a stick and not hit military related personnel.

@@PatrolNation Hey, you guys Down Under can be proud. In WW 2, your nation fought bravely, and well alongside our🇺🇲forces.. My Dad came with a few hundred miles of Australia as a Medic in the US Army way back then.
The reason they said the carrier strike was "almost" impenetrable, is because during a test France and Sweden were able to get through and land hits on the carrier they were using.
To be fair when you know where a carrier is going to be in advance almost any sub can sit powered down until the last second then launch a suprise attack. Thats why chokepoints in and out of the South China sea will be importaint even with Chinas shitty sub fleet
OF course. Thats why its called training. Not to mention that forces are met the disabilities to force officers and crew to work at their max threshold when things are at their worst. So yea. Training usually means that we lose in those events as we are working to fight under the worst of circumstances but enjoy that "win" though. lol.
True = nothing will ever go p erfectly. The test was conducted to find these weaker spots and be ready to deal with these situations in future engagements = always keep learning and IMPROVING.❤
What was the handicap of the mission because in all the military drills the USA does. They never make it easy to see if our troops react and overcome their handicap. So don't think any sub could get close in a real war.
The reason is for training people and learning more in situations, OF COURSE. The media just likes to put crap out there to try to increase their notoriety etc... 😎❤️
There are 400 missles, all of which carry multiple warheads, which can be independently targeted. The submarines can carry 20 ballistic missles, each with 10 warheads. In total. the US has around 1800 nuclear weapons deployed, with another 4,000 in reserve. More than enough to destroy the world many times over. Russia has even more.
@@kokomo9764Russia has more "tactical" nukes. They do not have the range to hit the U.S. we have several hundred more ballistic nukes than they do. Also if it ever came to it, 90%ish of the Russian population is in the western 1/3 of the country, our population is spread out alot further, and thermonucular warheads don't have near the fallout of the old plutonium type. Alot of us would survive, not so many of them though.
@@chrisroberts2466It perhaps should be mentioned that, given Russian performance or lack there of, in Ukraine has shown them to largely be a paper tiger. A failure rate of 40 to 50% of their ICBMs is not unreasonable given how poorly they maintain their weapons systems.
The submarine launched "Trident 2" nuclear missile, each missile carrying from 8 to 14 warheads, has 5 mega-tons of TNT equal destructive power. All the explosives in WW2 equalled about 5 mt. Each "Ohio Class" sub can carry 16 to 20 missiles.
@@user-tq7ks2xu1c In US service Trident II can be loaded with up to eight Mk-5 RVs with 475-kt W88 warheads, up to *fourteen Mk-4A RVs with 90-kt W76-1 warheads, and up to fourteen Mk-4A RVs with 5-7-kt W76-2 warheads*. In practice, each missile on average carries four warheads due to the warhead limitations placed by the New START treaty.[40]
When our son-in-law was in the US Navy on a "boomer," he arranged for a tour. As we walked by the missile silos, there was a tag on one silo that said 2.8 meters at 1420 km. I asked what that meant. He said that was the accuracy of their last test launch. Each of those missiles have multiple warheads. That accuracy combined with the power of each warhead...hopefully the world never sees this used.
Don't worry about the future of your sub fleet, Australia is supposed to be buying some US Virginia class subs. Not sure when that's supposed to happen, but not too far off.

RimPac is the Rim of the Pacific biennial international maritime exercise of nearly 29 different nations that occurs every even numbered year. This picture includes the approximately 40 different surface ships from ALL the different nations taking part.
The two Royal Navy aircraft carriers mentioned have a range of 10,000 nautical miles before refueling is required. The US carriers can go twenty five years before refueling since they are nuclear powered.
Most are amazed at the military technology. Others are in awe of the trickle down to civilian life. Still others are awed by the insane expense to the “Government “, not realizing that the “Government “ has no money! They are spending the people’s money on all of this. As a citizen, I can expect my Great Grandchildren to be stuck paying for all of this! The rest of the freedom loving nations reap the rewards of this without paying hardly anything in comparison. But we are still frowned upon as war mongers! I have yet to witness any meaningful act of gratitude by most of the nations who have, do, and will continue to enjoy freedom from oppression because of all this. It makes wonder just how naive most people are. If we. Turned off the US Military machine for just one month, what would be the end result?
Great video! (sarcastic voice) The very first video showing video is of Sukhoi aircraft. Which are used by Russia, not the United States! Also, only the F-22 Raptor is an Air-Superiority fighter. The F-35(A, B & C) is a multi-role fighter. Hence why they are trying to replace the A-10 with it. The A-10 is a Ground Attack aircraft, not an Air-Superiority fighter.
Hey Aussie, the Russians and Chinese try to copy our aircraft, but fall short when it comes to ACTUAL performance of electronics and weapons systems...just to mention 2. lol
But Australia isn't meant to be a massive superpower. It's just not there geographically. Nobody would, for instance, compare a small tropical island to Russia. On a "per capita" basis Australia has everything to be proud of.
