My boss in the 80s flew Shackletons MR. They would get practice intercepts from Lightenings . The poor Lightening had to go nose up and orbiting the slow prop aircraft. The game they played was to empty the teapot out the fuselage window, trying to get tea leaves on the Lightening canopy....
"The Boeing RC-135 is nicknamed "Rivet Joint" because it originated from the "Rivet" program, a series of U.S. Air Force modernization and modification efforts for aircraft during the Cold War. The "Joint" part refers to the aircraft's role in joint operations, where it collects and analyzes electronic intelligence (ELINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) to support multiple military branches and allied forces."
Don't forget the Canberra PR9 also based at RAF Wyton with the Nimrod R1, there was also EC135's, EC130's also in the 50's and early 60's RC121 and EC121 (Super Constellation)
The Hainan Island incident was a ten-day international incident between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) that resulted from a mid-air collision between a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft and a Chinese Air Force J-8 interceptor on April 1, 2001.
I think Cap is completely correct and that is what I immediately thought of too. It is an AI tool that is demonitizing and classifying these videos with no human input at all. What would actually be the most useful is if the grounds for the disqualification were given in the comments here for proper transparency Mr TH-cam. Or Mr AI if you are reading here. Please respond! Instead of just taking all of the profit for yourselves based upon your own made-up grounds with no oversight.
Various RC135s on the Colonial side. We had the Canberra in its PR9 mark, Nimrod R1/2, P3s, P8s etc as well. Yanks have so many E versions of everything TBH. EB47, EC130 to name 2
Cap - "Could you [intercept radio comms] with satellites?" It depends. In theory at least, you could intercept communications in the VHF and UHF bands a lot of the time; but managing the fleet of satellites to do this would be a logistical nightmare. However, wavebands with longer wavelengths (HF, medium wave, long wave etc.) tend to get refracted around the Earth by the ionosphere, so very little of the signal ends up reaching into space. Also, the size of antenna required might get unmanageable. Shorter wavelengths (microwaves, essentially) are commonly transmitted using highly directional antennas. Also, the signals are short-range because they get absorbed by water in the atmosphere. For these reasons, intercepting microwave transmissions needs to be done as close to the source as you can get.
There was a Russian Mig31 pilot that said if he had the authorization he could have shot down the SR71. Supposedly the SR71 would be on its return leg of the journey that was a little predictable so when it was detected the pilot would orientate to fly under but ahead of the SR71 and soon as it passed above he would fire his axehead and it would have downed the SR71. It might be a fun contest between the pilots as it would require specific timings and speed.
@@SmithandWesson22A you sound like you know? Wikipedia is vague on the non-modernised Axehead, R-37, the R37M certainly wasn’t in production before SR71 was retired in 1999, it was on hiatus as too expensive. The story sounds like a typical boast of a Russian. The Soviets hated the overflights they would have shot them down if they could, the Russians may not have wanted to antagonise the USA post fall though
Let's not overlook the time when a Chinese fighter actually collided with an American spy plane the fighter crashed and the spy plane was forced to land in China. Look up The Hainan Island incident
44:38: Yes, ELINT satellites are a real thing. I don't know how much they can capture... probably not as much as a plane, but nobody's exactly telling. They are up there, though, in a number of flavours.

We all spy one each other. A nav error, technical glitch or smoke and mirror shithousery can lead to tragic consequences in times of heightened tension-Korean Air Lines Flight 007 courtesy of SU 15s over Sakahlin or Iran Flight 655 dispatched by USS Vincennes. I remember reading an account at the height of the Cold War of RAF Phantoms doing a QRA over the North Sea at night in pitch black before eventually finding the Bear in visual. One of the Bear's crew shone a brilliant searchlight directly into the cockpit blinding the crew and robbing them of an hours worth of night time vision. They had to break away in total disarray. If that was me I would have put a Sidewinder or four where Bear's don't like them.
Lol, I'm so annoyed with his missile that keep locking onto random IR sources and beeping through what he's saying.. Just turn them off until you're airborne?
Video ends at 26:30ish after cap did a stupid thing and blewup his engine and instead of going back out he doesn't do anything. So main charecter dies therefore video ends. The rest doesn't mean anything. We want to see 1st person, not 3rd for over half the video.
Great video Cap very enjoyable entertainment, thanks.

Thanks cap and crew!
On June 13, 1952, a Swedish DC-3 aircraft disappeared over the Baltic Sea shot down by Soviet fighter jet
sad
I was waiting for the Raptor silently trailing to ghost in and finnish the aggressors...
lol yes

Ground Control to Mig 2, 1. Ground Control to Mig 2, 1. Flick all those switches and turn your engines on. 😊
Mig-19 mission would be neat. It was relevant in an odd era
Another great watch thanks.
My dad flew f-15c in the US air force and when they would scramble they could get from the hanger to the air in 7 minutes
35:48 Aaaannd that's WW Three.

Been waiting for this part two!
Avery interesting and entertaining vid, thanks guys.
would love to see more ROE content, in wargames and campaigns as well!
more drama than an HBO miniseries! :)

Was going to say, maybe they would be more interested in bothering if they didn't still get to run all the ads and keep the $$$ for themselves...
What if you guys did a Heli dogfight but with only Door gunners?
oof sounds painful!
I wonder if a bomber-type aircraft could carry a drone of some kind that could act as a 'sacrificial' escort fighter.
The answer is yes there’s been many studies into it. Even dating back to the 80’s. Practicality has never really been realised

Did Axehead exist before SR71 was retired?
@@SmithandWesson22A en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-33_(missile) Not the Axehead R-37. I was wrong which missile it was.

Captain the west used everything from the C130 out of Turkey, RB47 out of the UK, B52b, RAF Cambara, and others

7:00 Why can't they just use a key? 😂
Dark is a technical fault?
The Mig-28 also had problems with it's fuel system in a negative G pushover.
Interesting video!
Well that went sideways… try GR…good show boys! Need a Sunday funday soon.
35:30
It can't be a dogfight because "dogfights are dead". At least that's what they keep telling me LOL
Violet, with her beautiful female voice, shows up here ! Yay.
B36 had a reactor and they tried the fighter concept.
If I remember correctly, neither the Americans or Russians got to the stage,
were their reactor was actually powering the aircraft though.
But what about the INS? That takes yonks to get settled, doesn't it?
9:50 Question answered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fascinating
So why do you have what appears to be Vietnamese bots offering advice on marital relations? 😂
They're everywhere 😠

What Flankers existed in the 60's?
@SmithandWesson22A he's claiming 50+year old aircraft.
Don't question me question the video.
They Chinese and the Russians, recently passed near Alaska/Canada.
They were intercepted by F22,F35 and CF18’s

most the 135 flight fly fm UK
This is true. It’s done as a long range mission usually.
