Adding the word decade doesnt make it seem a long time ago. Wow that was a quarter of a decade ago. Wow. Yeah i get it yoy are probably very young and you think 5 years is a long time. Its practically yesterday. Half a decade ago is not a long time. Not at all.
@@knaj8222 these were used several times throughout the second world war. They assist to obviously see targets but they also increase effectiveness of infrared
Wow no answer in months? Well its 200 meters above the terrain usually and it will illuminate 400-500 meters. The a proper fire mission can be conducted to be more refined and accurate.
Cool! So right when they light up that area we can see is probably 800-1000m or half a mile wide? That’s a lot bigger than I was able to find, most info is about mortar rounds.
Yeah I belive that is what these burn to illuminate, but they are not used as an offensive measure. There are phosphorus rounds used to kill soft targets. They are absolutely terrifying but they are much different than these
@@jayn8392 Isn't the smoke from any kind of phosphorous round dangerous to flesh? I mean these are obviously illuminating rounds not aimed at anyone, but it seems like the little clouds following them could be a danger to the operators or nearby troops.
No. Not Phosphorus. Illumination rounds are an amalgamation of magnesium power and resin formed around a steel plate suspended about 3m below a parachute The ejecting charge from the fuse ignites the mixture which then burns for an average of 45 secs to 1 minute while it floats down.
Wow, 6 years ago and you're still answering comments and questions. Great upload, glad I could see this!
Benefits of small channel engagement.
the fuckn music tho. OH YEAH LISTENING TO SOME SICK BEATS WHILE I WATCH SOME MOTAR ROUNDS
It ain’t mortars
Hearing Chainsmokers in the background really reminded me that 2016 was already like half a decade ago (5 years) which is kinda crazy to think about
2016 still feels like half a decade ago. :(
@@KL-sd2bwnow it’s been 8 years 😢

that's why ww1 trench warfare was a stalemate even during night
The radio in the back ground giving a glimpse into the past
Imagine you are a troop who is resting in a trench in WWI and see this.
"oh you're gonna do a night operation?"
"Time set day"
These were in the new Modern Warfare.
Noob Nooby had to check that they actually existed, I was curious
@@knaj8222 They were first adopted by the British in 1866.
Well the mortar version of these

no bitch
yes bitch

What a bitch.
joe 5D actually yes bitch have u ever heard of the Phoenix lights?
If you were an enemy approaching & got lit up by those illumination rounds, how fast do you think you’d get killed. My guess is, quickly
2 mins was my standard for a FFE
@@MrMexicansteve FFE? I’m not military if that’s a military term
@@scotthill1600 yes, fire for effect. This was my job for years as a 13F in the ARMY.
@@MrMexicansteve ffe fire for effect, knew it had to be a military term
I would be on the ground acting dead faster then that lol.
I wonder how effective this would be against NVGs
Imagine being the enemy under this 😮
Imagine Enemies minding their own business and you bring war upon them in the name of antiterrorist movement. Wow.

Set one of these off in my backyard on the 4th of July.
burst illumination, target number ab1001, over
Are they safe to touch in your hands as they glowed?
@@KL-sd2bw Is it really that hot?
@@ronaldli5 Look up white phosphorus... It's bad... it's really bad.
@@ronaldli5 white phosphorus reacts with oxygen and burns very fast on room temperature soo yeah
@@spacegarage6826 It can set things on fire that are normally not considered flammable. Nasty stuff.
Don’t listen to these lames. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Go over there and pick it up….
essentially just giant flares
Any idea roughly what range those are at? To get a feeling for the actual scale of the area they light up?
Wow no answer in months? Well its 200 meters above the terrain usually and it will illuminate 400-500 meters. The a proper fire mission can be conducted to be more refined and accurate.

@@MrMexicansteve Sorry, I didn't answer because I was not sure how far it was. The gun line was quite a bit distance away from the observation point.
Superb
Does anyone know the "nickname" of the flare?
Is this what I’ve been seeing all over Arizona. I have video on my page. It’s been freaking everyone out.
How does it go out so fast? I thought that stuff would keep burning even after landfall?
@@KL-sd2bw so why did it diminish in the air? I thought oxygen keeps it burning?
@@KL-sd2bw oh ok

how bright was this? is it like a full moon?
no! hmm maybe!
Background music name pls ??
Where did this take place?
Where is this from
new year flare
They’re being used now literally
looks like someone used PK starstorm Ω
155?
105mm.
Why they falling so slow
+Fletcher Riverwood The flare falls underneath a parachute. The longer it takes to fall means the farther it can illuminate things.
Parachute?That's a surprise,I thought military equipment would use something more sophisticated than fireworks.
If it works why change it?
@@fletcherriverwood8964 this video doesn't do it justice, you can see the enemy as clear as day when you're out there
@@JayJay-bc1xu yeah, and that's how Belfast exposed Scharnhorst's position and Duke of York barraged her with shells
Is this phosphorus?
Yeah

No. Not Phosphorus.
Illumination rounds are an amalgamation of magnesium power and resin formed around a steel plate suspended about 3m below a parachute
The ejecting charge from the fuse ignites the mixture which then burns for an average of 45 secs to 1 minute while it floats down.
Magnesium, I think.
