The harpoon is a tried and true missile used by the USA for a long time. It’s not the best missile out there but USA has a lot of them and supply chains for them are well established. Sometimes it’s not about who has the best but who has the best combination of quality, lethality, and quantity. Most of the mainstream western cruise missiles and air to air missiles are in this category
This "obsolete" (1970) missile just turned Russian ship (built in 2017) into a Submarine by a country without Navy, let that sink in (no pun intended), now he is having a party with Flagship Moskva 😂
Harpoon the best anti ship ever??? 😂😂😂😂 That title goes to the P800 Oink. They hunt in a pack and automatically assign a scout leader. Even Brahmos is league ahead of anything USA has show so far.
@Varangian Guard Sure. Now go read up on how the P-800 missiles target ships (In packs with one peeping over the radar whist the others stay low) ... No other missile does mid course correction like them. Oh, and those missiles are humongous... One hit and it's over.
@Varangian Guard so you saying the Russians and the rest of the world have no intelligence and targeting? They just shoot missiles and hope for the best 🤣😂 The Russians strategi was to spam anti surface missiles and the US is air power. And the Russians are using subs, aircraft and ships in a coordinate attack to over whelm the defence systems of the US, which btw are inferior to the Russian one, Russian weapons tend to be bigger and supersonic/hypersonic, intended to shoot out of the US defences. A good military has a good mix of weapons, the harpoon was the US only antiship missiles for decades. Don't be we are best because Emerica 🤣😂
@Varangian Guard I did, but it's very vague, you should alobrate better. Because from what I understood, because you were replying to the post above, that the Americans are better!! You need to put it in a better construct.
@master mariner sorry to break your heart but other missiles also come with mid flight course correction... Also talking about brahmos it comes with inertial navigation system and active/passive radar in the terminal stage... P-800 oniks? They never fire single missile... They will fire a salvo with 1 missile at high altitude locking on the target and sharing info with other missiles who are sea skimming to not get detected....
This video is talking about anti-ship missiles that are combat proven. The BRAHMOS anti-ship missile will undoubtedly compete with the HARPOON as the best ASM in the world going into the future but until it’s proven in combat it will only be speculated that it’s as good or better than the Harpoon.
Where is the writer of these scripts from? It's certainly not the narrator (and the narrator is clearly not paying attention to the script he's reading)
Type-12/17 or LRASM is better. Japan's Type-12 (Land version)/Type-17 (Naval version) has a current range of 400km. Since 2020 theyve been developing a 900km version. Future target will be 1500km. It will also be made low observable. LRASM current range is 560km. There may be a future version 1600km. LRASM can also be fitted on ships besides being air-launched.
Yes, this was in 1982. The Danish Navy accidentally launched a Harpoon during training, it took off without the launch key being used. There had been maintenance on the frigate's launch system and it was left in a partially-operating state, able to launch missiles but without all the safety features put back in. It traveled 34 km (21 mi) over the sea and eventually reached land, hit some trees, exploding and destroying several summer homes and damaging many more. No one was injured. The event is known as the "Oops Missile" incident in Denmark (Hovsa-Missilet).
The extreme sea skimming capabilities of the new harpoon variants make them extremely dangerous. Even though they are subsonic they pose a serious threat to all naval vessels.

Oh is that a fact? And I’m sure you’re some military specialist who knows exactly what he’s talking about, right? 🤣 This video is talking about the best combat proven anti-ship missile in the world and that’s currently the Harpoon. Out of all the missiles you named, only the BRAHMOS may end up being better than the HARPOON. However, right now it is only speculation, as it hasn’t proven itself in combat yet.
The Harpoon is an obsolete missile with limited range. The Russians and Chinese have much more capable hypersonic and supersonic anti-ship missiles than the Tomahawk.
Does anyone know the nationality of the team that produces these videos? Website reads "small team of 10 people" and YT notes as "US based"-- I LOVE these videos, but clearly there's some translation going on in all of them.............. Anyone know the deal?
@@bobsmith3983 It's not. They are two different designs. One is fast, inaccurate and can easily be seen on radar and IR. The other is slower, far more maneuverable, runs colder and flies under radar.
Request: Seeing that the clouds of war between America and Russia over the Ukrainian issue please evaluate our capability of taking on the Russian navy on a toe to toe engagement. From what I understand about the Karkovs our carriers don't have a chance. And in such an engagement can we keep it conventional or will it be a nuclear holocaust.
hahahahahahaha its the worst anti ship missile in the world its awful its too slow modern anti ship missiles BRAHMOS and JF 12 arre far better and Russian anti ship missile are way better ONIx hahahaha
As much as I like the Americans and their tech, still no. No-no-no-no and no. The question of "the best" is very slippery, but only the practical use can help to define. And at that part Exocet were used at wars more often?
Can't handle the way this guy finishes his seeeeenteeeencessssssss...

@@DontUputThatEvilOnMe Tomahawks were not use for that.
Subsonic = Vintage
Still the WORLD’S best missile lol
@@wildeninja2836 Not!
Please make a video of HARPOON VS BRAHMOS

Pfft... Give room for yj-18 and yj-83
Don't forget tsircon
Thank you 🇺🇸 & Denmark 🇩🇰 for helping 🇺🇦 with this.
Dont mention it, we still havent payed for the destruktion of Iraq that makes it easyer to give stuff to you ;)
If Harpoon is the best anti ship missile then what are the words used to describe BRAHMOS supersonic anti-ship cruise missile
Typical western propaganda video
@CREEP MATT GAETZ exocet is a subsonic missile
Crap shit what even Russians didn't use as promised as "Missile made by Friends"

I remember a story about a harpoon missile destroying a Danish summer home - a long time ago

There had been maintenance on the frigate's launch system and it was left in a partially-operating state, able to launch missiles but without all the safety features put back in.

Another ridiculously repetitive script instead of any specs or analysis. Unsubscribed.
not even the range is mentioned, general less interesting info is repeated multiple times.
The extreme sea skimming capabilities of the new harpoon variants make them extremely dangerous. Even though they are subsonic they pose a serious threat to all naval vessels.
Sea skimming is nothing new.
All Russian (P800) and Chinese missiles (Silkworm) are sea skimmers and waaay faster.
They have such a low range in respect to their peers that they will never be delivered, because the delivery - platform has already been destroyed
Now the US military have the LRASM
Forgot to mention that it sticks to the side of a ship, leaks methane gas for about 2-3 minutes, then explodes killing 80-90% of the crew on board
P-8 too carrying the Harpoons
how does it compare against the Exocet?
How come the subsonic harpon beats the YJ18, YJ12and brahmos.. The supersonic ones?
Because it's actually used. Atleast I can only assume that's what he means

It used to be a good missile not the best but good some two decades back. No more and not even in top ten any more!
Yea but when you got over 30 of them coming at you more then a few are going to get through...
@@retiredguyadventures6211probably not you have the long range Anti missile missiles that could prob take then out and you have the short range ones and CIWS and any other guns on the ships would try to intercept
Nope it is not. Turkey is replacing their harpoon inventory with new-better indigenious ones called atmaca
Best anti-ship missile or so called best anti-ship missile?🤣
Even Taurus and Storm Shadow, JASSM and NSM are better. Oh. And Brahmos, Onyx and Tomahawk are way better than harpoon
JASSM can only be air-launched. Its LRASM that can be fitted on ships.
and he didnt show specifications either even for newest version of the missle lazy ass video

Bro the Harpoon anti ship missile is literally one of the most effective reliable anti ship munitions. It just works and hits hard.
USA LRASM!!!!!
Great video. I have question for all the true experts. Why use a turbojet and not ramjet like a cruise missile
Because it's subsonic and turbofans are very efficient at subsonic speed. And it being small and subsonic means it's cheap.
Ramjets run hot
Longer range.
Navelstrike is best anti ship missile.
The Harpoon is an obsolete missile with limited range. The Russians and Chinese have much more capable hypersonic and supersonic anti-ship missiles than the Tomahawk.
1970? The best?
Really?
That all u got?
Love from Russia 🤣💥
Brahmos laughing in 3 Mach
Вот интересно, что будет, когда она прилетит по кораблям "второй" армии мира 😂🇺🇦
do they still have left any ships ?
@@JaspreetSinghArtist unfortunately yes
You still alive ? 😂
Russian ship just destroyed Harpoon kamikaze style 😂
why do so many videos have to have such goofy sounding narrators?
Is the harpoon missile better than the Russian scramjet missile that travels like 9000 mph? Or does the Russian missile not hit its target?
Russians missiles still have to slow down in terminal phase of flight for any reasonable maneuvering capabilities.
Have you ever heard a French missile called Excocet.?
That relic that Argentina used to sink some British warships.
Does anyone know the nationality of the team that produces these videos? Website reads "small team of 10 people" and YT notes as "US based"-- I LOVE these videos, but clearly there's some translation going on in all of them.............. Anyone know the deal?
surprised alot of these comments haven,t been deleted by all these expert,s. after ships destroyed by a useless harpoon.
Well, how about Exojet and Atmaca do as they say there are better competitors on earth at this time
Sorry for saying that the most dangerous missile is the french Exocet that has already sunk english as well as a US frigate.....nice scoreboard.....
Let's see them at work in the Black Sea
Subsonic, relatively ancient tech from the 70s......No.....
Italian C1 Ariete MBT please
I feel Like the narrator is artificial. He Always Sounds exactly the Same. Does anyone agree?
Nah, the sub sonic cruise speed is just not on my fav list
No wonder it is being replaced by NSM and LRASM,
NSM naval version is too short range. Its aerial version JSM is better but LRASM can be fitted both on aircraft and navy ships.
I think BRAHMOS is the best Antiship cruise missile currently 💕
Yes it is
No the Zircon is.
Spear 5s BRAHMOS LASARM P900 NSM YJ21
idk if its that good it has very low range compared to russian hypersonic missles that are on ships...
It's outdated. Inferior to Russian, Chinese and Indian missiles.
@@bobsmith3983 It's not. They are two different designs. One is fast, inaccurate and can easily be seen on radar and IR. The other is slower, far more maneuverable, runs colder and flies under radar.
I think Brahmos may be ever so slightly better
BrahMos is decades ahead in technology lol. 4 times faster and 3 times more range.
15 years ago it was ok , now its no more then a new year rocket that makes a nice fireworks
Do not tell my "Zircon" - clowns! 😄😄😆😆😆
Why iare
the worlds navys selecting nsm

LOL
This aged well
Russia’s navy can be summed up with a reminder that their only carrier won’t leave port without a tugboat close by.
Really? A subsonic missile is still "the best"? Is this some sort of sales video?
1,4 mil$
That better give a lot of kills :/
Harpoon is nothing against Brahmos ! 🇮🇳
Brahmos is nothing to Zircon
Zircon is nothing aganist kinzal

Ever? Not in top 5
It is not very fast though
I thought NSM was best?

so disappointed..
not the best missile..
The best is the Exocet proven many times and those are the older versions imagine the more advance ones.
Harpoon is the best missile, USA is the best prepared against pandemic.
No if we are talking about the 1980s then the Exocet is still better
best is OTOMELARA OTOMAT MK2A
