I’m a U.S Navy (aviation) and Army (MP) veteran, and I don’t really miss them due to the fact that 80% of the time is spent doing paperwork, formation, and waiting around; however, I do miss the traveling and getting to meet fellow NATO sailors/airmen/soldiers. P.S: I still get nightmares that I got re-enlisted for three more years and I’m late to formation. 😂
So many different things pissed me off when I was serving in the British Army. However, after I left and returned home from overseas, I missed absolutely EVERYTHING about it. Even the things that pissed me off so much. I still regard that time as the best of my life. The friends I made, the camaraderie, lol, everybody being pissed off and miserable together. The girls…… sorry, not being misogynistic, but there were so many girls that just lived squaddies. I even miss drill. Pointless exercises, guard duty 2 hours on and 4 hours off. I will cherish those times for the rest of my life. The good and the bad.
@@gmacka6333 I do miss being stationed overseas. I was stationed in Italy for two years when I turned 19. It was the best experience of my life and I figured that I wanted to study International Studies/Relations and history when I got to college
The Captain being incredibly proud of his crew is so Goddamn wholesome because you know from that he loves and trusts them all so much and is so proud of what his Navy can do. He's walking away beaming with pride to be in that Navy
I think I watch so much military news and shows because it does take me back to when I was in the US army. I think this is why so many veterans do watch these things. Its a way to reconnect to that time from the safety of your couch. Like you I miss my time in the military but definitely do not want to go back to it.
I've seen it, and it's good... When the US Navy does something they almost always asks the Royal Navy to send a Type 45 Destroyer to join them because of their long range radars...
What rubbish. The US Navy does not need the Royal Navy. The US Navy is a real Navy compared to the microscopic Royal Navy there is no comparison as the US Navy has the equipment and man power to deal with anything. You need to wake up the days of Load Nelson finished a long time ago.
When the type 45 was taking part in war games the US couldnt believe just how good it was, telling the Royal Navy at one point to not take part because it was destroying everyone and everything.
Yes sir ! I have that same feeling. I do miss my brothers and that pride of achievement. It was a fast pace, throttle wide open then the brakes get slammed on. I miss it dearly !

This ship would have been at the bottom if attacked. Only one ship by itself makes it even more vulnerable to air attack. Look what happened to HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse on December 1941. These mighty huge battleships of the Biggest Navy in the World were attacked and sunk by Japanese aircraft. This is rubbish talk trying to make out that this ship would be able to deal with so many deadly aircraft. One ship is a sitting target without air cover which is usually done by having an aircraft carrier with you. Our Royal Navy is hopelessly equipped because of this Conservative cut backs have made our armed forces very valuable. Unlike the US Navy which is a real Navy compared to the little Royal Navy. Don't be surprised if a number of our ships are attacked and sent to the bottom in the near future.

HMS Duncan is a serious air defence destroyer. Every single one of those jets would have been downed, no problem, if they were attacking. Same with their missiles. Unbelievably capable. Sampson radar can track targets in space. And hundreds of targets at once.
@jamstew547 you have any idea how ancient enemy's radars are? World overestimated orks and we are paying for it currently. Had the west given Ukraine necessary weapons when the war began, this conflict would have been long below the ground.
@@jamstew547it's a ship not a boat. I doubt Russia even has 17 fighters that are air worthy. Just look at the one Russian aircraft carrier. It has to go to sea with a tugboat every time as it's always breaking down. Unlike an American aircraft carrier that could sail for years without going into port.
17 aircraft in multiple positions and distances firing on a large slow target isn't that difficult. Even one strike could disable the ship or knock the radar out. Either way god forbid it would be interesting to know the outcome.
On HMS Yarmouth in the Falklands War, as we were firefighting HMS Sheffield who'd just been hit by an Exocet on 4th May '82, we were attacked with torpedoes by an unidentified submarine. The MOD have never acknowledged that this occurred. Our flight commander flew a sortie in his Wasp helo and saw it just beneath the surface. Some seamen on the upper deck saw the torpedo tracks. Our sonar guys even recorded the sound of the sub's torpedo doors opening and closing and sent the cassette to Northwood, but no official receipt ever arrived. We dropped ten mortars on it, but it got away. The Arg subs remaining at the time were either scuttled or elsewhere. I suspect the sub could have been Russian, hence the MOD silence all these years. What a helluva diplomatic incident this would have created if the Whitehall suits had had the courage to speak up.
My dad was on Submarines in the 1970s and very early 80s and he told me, that at some point a new Russian Warship had just been commissioned, and as nobody had ever seen it outside of Russia, when the Americans heard it was in the med somewhere, they got on board the Sub, The HMS Conqueror, and they trailed this warship in the Med off the coast of Turkey and proceeded to try and sneak up on it to get photographs of it... The Russians caught on to what was happening and dropped depth charges on them... He was telling me that it could have been seen as an act of war, but because of what they were doing,had anything gone catastrophically wrong, the MOD would have put it simply down to a tragic accident and covered it up rather than have to admit what they were really doing
@@FozzQuaker "source: my dad said" I have heard retarded shit from my friend's father which tried to claim he had something to do with the fall of the USSR as a fast attack boat XO. Yeah, what a load of rubbish mate.

So, new Soviet warship launched (assuming from the Black Sea), assumably armed with advanced (for the time) ASW technology, and you're telling me they were going to have the HMS Conquerer ASCEND TO PERISCOPE DEPTH?! yeah, no.

@@nonameok1586 don’t forget the Duncan has phalax 20mm anti air / anti missile 3600 rounds a minute, with their own built in radar to lock in all incoming threats, if you ever seen these bad boys in action, you’d soon respect the firepower of them, also, ships are equipped with electronic warfare to confuse / downright bugger up incoming targets, these bad boys are not to be sniffed at old bean, just my tupence worth 😁
My oldest friend from primary school is on Duncan and I couldn't be more proud of his achievements so far! I know how protected we are with men and women like him looking after us. Thankyou to you all ❤
these ships are really really good even the americans said as much they also asked if we could not take part in some exercises because of just how good these ships were during the war games.
I repaired helicopters for nine years in the US Marines. I've been out for 13 years now into this day if I hear any helicopter I get all motivated feel like I need to go fix it. Big dumb ass grin on my face wondering where my multimeter and my tool roll are
Hiya, mate. Here's a good read. I'm a former Royal Navy Leading Radio Operator who fought in the Falklands War like your dad, and my ship HMS Yarmouth stood by to take survivors off Glamorgan after they were hit by the land-launched Exocet. We'd previously rescued survivors from Sheffield and Ardent. The book is by me, Paul Cardin. It's controversial, no holds barred, and it's called "Return to Bomb Alley 1982 - The Falklands Deception". Russia took Crimea in February, March 2014. Cheers

Yeah I watched all 3 seasons after watching your last video on this as I was fascinated - definitely a good watch! not all combat/tension focused, it focuses a lot on individual crew members and the life of those crew while onboard. Saying that, I binged all 3 seasons in 2 days sooooooooo yeah, its pretty good! haha love the reaction vids dude, would love to see more!
Former USN gunnersmate here. To put it simply, the concept of directly attacking a modern guided missile warship is suicidal. Especially Federation forces who are operating very old weapons platforms that in many cases have seen little to no block, flight, variant updates let alone modernization. Sea domination dictates the course of geopolitics. Attacking ships, either civilian trade, liners, or military platforms is never a small incident. Refer to Falklands War, Operation Praying Mantis, and the current Red Sea combat operations involving three multinational task forces from 29 nations. This behavior by both Russian and Chinese forces is just old hat saber rattling and very reminiscent of the First Cold War. My family has four generations of Navy going back to the first interim war years just prior to WWII. There were many stories from our Cold War vets of this kind of behavior. My late Father was a lifer (20 years) in the submarine force both Pacific and Atlantic commands. The Russians like saber rattling but are we really surprised?
As proud as I am of the Royal Navy there is some serious arrogance here. If all 17 jets opened fire at the same time, each firing a salvo of missiles, (which is what they would do) HMS Duncan wouldn't stand a chance. With only 1 phalanx per side of the ship, there simply wouldn't be enough time, or enough phalanx rounds to down that many incoming threats. As for the 48 interceptor missiles, they can't all be launched simultaneously, they need time to launch. Again, there wouldn't be enough time to defend the ship with the jets that close, nor would 48 missiles be enough against 17 jets each carrying 4 or more missiles. The Royal Navy would only fire in self defence, by which time it's too late. Unfortunately this is how the Russians operate... They invade your airspace or buzz your targets so often without attacking, that if there is ever a real conflict they can get close enough, nobody expects an attack, and then they do, and nobody has time to respond.
People are over confident. They think Russian weapons are made from old tin cans. Russia has some astonishing weapons like the satan 2 which at 200 tons can travel 35000km at hypersonic speed - ie London to Berlin in around a few minutes. Some of the Russian aircraft can carry the Kinzal missiles, another hypersonic weapon.
This was 5 years ago, when the HMS Duncan was transiting through a legal shipping lane in the Black Sea near Crimea in Ukrainian waters, which Russia is proclaiming belongs to them, 🇬🇧😎👍🏼
I think Crimea being a disputed region..Russians must have had deployed coastal based anti ship missiles with far longer range than just 30 miles. Those jets aren't the least of their worries. Atleast 2-3 destroyers would even the odds.
@@Skywalker622she'd have done a heck of a lot of damage before being taken out that's for sure. Many of the old jets the Russians rely on for maritime strike can't be produced anymore, would have been too costly for the Russians even if they did damage or sink her.
@rowanmaguire7890 Oh there is no doubt she will be sunk if she is out there alone without back ups. Russian anti ship missiles certainly packs a lot of punch a hit or 2 will disable/distrupt most of the destroyer's systems then she will be a sitting duck thats a 1 Billion £ Destroyer ship with full complements of her sailors and 2 helicopters aboard....besides Russia's entire Black Sea fleet is based out of Sevastopol, Crimea. But yes I agree due to sanctions imposed after annexation of Crimea Russian economy and its manufacturing capacity has been hit even more so after the invasion of Ukraine.
Yes, I remember this case when the entire crew of the ship was sitting with diapers on their heads And after the ship arrived at the home port, 60% of the crew quit due to psychological problems
48 missiles compared to how many missiles a single fighter jet may carry multiply that by 17 moving targets around a central location that cannot menuvor and escape being targeted by 17 aircraft including bombers that were built with the purpose of sinking ships. I wouldn't be so arrogant no matter how much fire power you posses at your disposal.
Two words... Sea Viper.. look it up it was developed for this reason + 2x CIWS and that's not mentioning the jamming systems. Duncan would have taken damage yes... And might have sank in the long term returning to port but there would have been 17 downed foreign assets. Not many people realise just how crazy this ship is.
Absolutely worth watching!!! It does a superb job at bringing into focus some of the situations our forces deal with on a regular basis! Several seasons now and I’ve watched it many times!!!!

It's one thing to be confident and I think this is fundamentally the problem with western approach to Russia, the complete dismissal of them as outdated and redundant. That response about them having 48missiles and they have 17 aircrafts without any thought to their distance to Crimea some 30miles apparently knowing that Russia had that place on lock and Russian missile and ballistic weapons stationed there. You think that ship wouldve made it out of there? It would've been sunk as it's close to a Russian naval base Sevastopol. Hubris like this is what is causing many of the problems today underestimating Russia.
Hubris like this? Are you serious? Get a grip mate. Might as well have gone the whole hog and called it arrogance. Do you honestly think any of the leading officers on board the HMS Duncan aren't aware of the capability of Russia's naval defences? Arrogance plays no part in understanding your capability and your limitations. I don't think for one second they would have blindly engaged in such combat that would have left 1bn pounds worth of equipment in "no mans land".
@@robertshaw3619 My friend, the arrogance were the words of the naval officers remember the initial claim was 30km off Crimea in 2018. Russia took hold of that place via a referendum like what 2015 or thereabouts. The construction of the kerch bridge was still ongoing if I'm not mistaken. So the arrogant words about 17jets and 48 missiles as if they can stop of the armaments carried by those aircrafts especially if they had torpedoes and that close to Russian coastal defences. It's not what I think given the video it's what was said. Watch it again and YOU honestly think if they had even fired and downed 2 aircrafts if that ship wouldve made if out the black sea
@@osealey1402 I have a feeling you misunderstand me. Most of what was said is not arrogance, I'd say it's mostly posturing more than anything. As I said before they will be well aware of Russia's armaments, and also well aware of their own. This isn't a case of " my guns bigger than yours " they will obviously still be well aware of the "what if " scenario. Having said that, I think it is you who underestimates the capability of the destroyer. As with any equipment... It depends not only on the capability of the equipment but the competence of the crew manning it. At 30km the computer calculated armaments of the type 45 destroyer leave 0 room for failure that is attributed to human error, which is more than can be said for the flight crew of the 17 singular jets surveying the sky above... Especially considering they most likely aren't even 4th generation jets. So they won't have integrated systems, meaning everything is human operated. Which leaves room for human error. The officers onboard the HMS Duncan will be well aware of this from their training. Again not Hubris or arrogance... Not even misplaced confidence. Just an understanding of the minute details. One thing the rest of the world misunderstands about his majesty's supposed "dwindling navy". We may no longer have the world's most imposing navy but for what we lack in size we make up for in quality. Let me assure you of that. That comes in many forms. "My friend"
@@robertshaw3619 The topic has strayed, it may be posturing and nervous posturing at that given the situation but I was mainly pointing out a trend and mentality of dismissal of anything Russian and about their capabilities as you can see many of the other responses. I'm just saying this is fundamentally wrong and its rife all throughout not only the political and military class. This thinking is asking to get slapped in the face as is happening. The HMS Duncan is no doubt a capable vessel but temper the bravado a bit in them areas. Clearly you cant send 3 or 4 Duncans up there now because everyone can see the capabilities. In 2018 they didnt know and that's the point. Human error is always a factor I these situations but I'm sure these men are well trained it seemed to me foolhardy and cocksure to be going that close and at that time
What happened two years ago when a Russian plane flew over British ship and everything on the ship crashed 😅 And some of your soldiers had nervous breakdown 😢
Yes as ex military man who served as an officer and man I followed the ‘siren song’ of being involved again. At first just as a contractor training Canadian, UK and USA forces and agencies to now being involved in operations in Ukraine. As a contractor I have less of the BS that I experienced working for the forces but additional issues with various governments trying to tell me what I can and cannot do. I think having a purpose and a strong sense of justice makes it easier to go back. Being solely respresponsible for my people our successes and failures is hard. Before we could always blame the higher ups for mission losses. It is vastly different when it all rests solely on one’s shoulders. At 55 it is good to be back with the lads.
Let's not kid ourselves . The ships crew were fully aware the Russian planes were not intending to attack. This isn't the first time such encounters have been made. And if the planes decided to fire there weapons that ship would have been disabled.
Awesome perfectly executed nice job guy hats of for a brilliant job of exercise in the ability of the nice beautiful war ship Dunkin’ nicely done Stay on top of it at you bests I’m very very impressed ❤
He's like they have 17 fighter jets we have 40 missiles., what he failed to calculate was how much missiles each fighter could hit them with. I think being cocky has no place in warfare that's how people get killed. If attacked all at once you'd definitely get a hit no matter how good you are or how many guns are on board that ship.
HMS Duncan was 20 odd miles off the coast of Crimea? And on the video, each whistle sound was when an aircraft was picked up on radar? It has 48 anti aircraft missiles plus CIWS guns. How many missiles did each of those 17 aircraft carry? Were any hypersonic? Do fighter aircraft usually approach the enemy ship and "buzz around" a few times, giving Duncan enough time to activate their defences before targeting or releasing their missiles? If firing at Duncan was the real aim, would these fighter jets not have released their missiles as soon as they knew they were picked up on Duncan's radar or even before that? And if 2 aircraft released at least 2 hypersonic missiles plus the usual load from the remaining 15 aircraft, doubt 48 missiles or CIWS would have been that handy. What are the chances the commander's words were primarily as stress relief and reassurance to his crew? Did anyone think that the commander was going to say his mind in full truth?
8 years plus this has been happening, Russia played the west and won over Syria, the uk has been supporting the Saudi Yemen conflict for about 10 years.
17 of them against our 48 missiles. Hmmm and what happens when each jet, in a surprise attack, deploys an airborn torpedo to the water? How will your 48 asters and 2 phalanx stop 17 torpedoes? All of which could be deployed before Duncan fires off a single missile. Those officers were way over confident.
Pretty sure none of those Russian jets were carrying torpedoes! Even if they were, as soon as they locked on to Duncan they would have been blown out of the sky. This is probably the most advanced anti aircraft ship sailing the seas and oceans today. This ships main role is to lock on to and destroy multiple threats from the air. Once her silos open it is game over for those 17 fighter jets. Attacking an anti aircraft ship, with aircraft shows just how dumb those Russian are!
😅 The RN has been spiked a number of times. But no ship can defend against a large drop of missiles if dropped close and the Russians have been coming close for decades.
They’re in Russian waters Crimea. So intercepted by Russian air force. Being ex RAF they’d be conducting bomb runs. They’d also be targeted by Russian anti ship missiles from the Crimea. It wouldn’t stand a chance.
Basically, HMS Duncan was sailing around Crimea to undermine Russia's claim to it. TBH it's all diplomatic theatre. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that the Russian Airforce (including Naval Air Forces) are a complete disaster featuring poor leadership, badly trained pilots, lack of advanced fighter planes and poor maintenance. The fact they couldn't secure overall air superiority in Ukraine says so much. Even though the British Military has many issues, we would tear them to shreds on land, sea and air.
Sounds good, but beware hubris. 17 Russians firing all their missiles at one time could be an issue, not discounting land based launched missiles, subs and surface ships.
Sigh. What the hell is the point of sailing nato assets around crimea when we dont want a war with russia? If china was sailing their warships off of Florida i wouldn't like it. If russia had their warships off Britain the Brits wouldnt like it either. Crimea is an active war zone. Either get in the war or stay out of the way. This isn't complicated.
I'm quite satisfied with my own reactions to watching stuff. What a weird world we live in. Everyone must be creatively brain dead if they constantly need to watch other people's reactions, but hey! If that's what they like and you're happy with that alone, then good luck mate, you're certainly only one of tens of thousands who think the same. Thank you for your military service. All the best.
I was grunt in Mercia Regiment so we didn't expect the medal of honour after every mission lol The Azov sea is partly international water because shipping! They took Crimes in 2014/15.
They cannot find sailors, anymore(m no military expert, but the Sheffield got taken out by a 150 thousand dollar Exocet missile, if an aircraft carrier were hit by a combatant, it would provoke a huge response and nukes would fly, seems like an arrogant and false sense of security these huge ships.
She had or had the world's most powerful radar. In the documentary the crew were more concerned the russian aircraft would be affected by the radar and crash into the sea.
Haha, HMS Duncan a war winning Royal Navy ship of the has-been Brits. Aren’t they a hoot! I expect their carriers will be following behind. Minus any aircraft though…Can’t afford them! Never mind, Uncle Sam has got their back!!!! Haha.
A feel good show for patriotic british folk who havent realised that despite favorable coverage in Ukraine, the reality on the ground is different. No Navy in the World has been tested by hypersonic missiles. Its premature to assume HMS Duncan has the capabilities to defend itself even against a Kamakazi swarm drone attack. Great Ego piece though.
"They have 17 aircraft we have 48 missiles". 6 missiles x 17 aircraft =102 missiles' means only one outcome. Just go home. the shore battery missile will get you.

I have heard retarded shit from my friend's father which tried to claim he had something to do with the fall of the USSR as a fast attack boat XO.
Yeah, what a load of rubbish mate. The northern and eastern Mediterranean has basically been a NATO lake since the 1970s, 80s if you want to make sure that's when Spain was in, with all these maritime patrol aircraft, optical satellites, and intelligence assets on coasts and islands and you're going to tell me they they "wanted to get photographs" uh what? So, new Soviet warship launched (assuming from the Black Sea), assumably armed with advanced (for the time) ASW technology, and you're telling me they were going to have the HMS Conquerer ASCEND TO PERISCOPE DEPTH?! yeah, no.
Who won?
Hey brother just wanted to say congratulations on the new reaction videos. I’ve been here since your early days on the call of duty campaign playthroughs and I felt sad seeing your view count drop dramatically when you were only averaging between 1-5k views. Just checked your channel for the first time in a long time and can see your back to your best averaging 50-100k views and more ! Very proud you stuck it out hope you been well and happy new year !
❤️❤️❤️ thank you mate!
@@OriginalHuman ma man just wished you a happy new year 2 months ago... its april now dude :D :D :D but yh... happy new year to yall @OriginalHuman @JabezBRO .... never too late to start a happy new year i guess... also.. glad to see the channel growing!!!! we gotta have a man bun chop chop video on the mil :D
There is a whole series of about 5 or 6 videos of 'Duncan' and their adventures. Have you reacted to the whole group of them?
"please keep 2 miles away from our radar for safety"
Well damn I was just about to go to the top deck and warm up my coffee
Yep, as ex navy, left 2001 after 12 years, watching these vids makes me remember the good times, and the great guys I served with
This ship would have been at the bottom if attacked. Only one ship by itself makes it even more vulnerable to air attack. Look what happened to HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse on December 1941. These mighty huge battleships of the Biggest Navy in the World were attacked and sunk by Japanese aircraft. This is rubbish talk trying to make out that this ship would be able to deal with so many deadly aircraft. One ship is a sitting target without air cover which is usually done by having an aircraft carrier with you. Our Royal Navy is hopelessly equipped because of this Conservative cut backs have made our armed forces very valuable. Unlike the US Navy which is a real Navy compared to the little Royal Navy. Don't be surprised if a number of our ships are attacked and sent to the bottom in the near future.
@@nonameok1586 don’t forget the Duncan has phalax 20mm anti air / anti missile 3600 rounds a minute, with their own built in radar to lock in all incoming threats, if you ever seen these bad boys in action, you’d soon respect the firepower of them, also, ships are equipped with electronic warfare to confuse / downright bugger up incoming targets, these bad boys are not to be sniffed at old bean, just my tupence worth 😁
My oldest friend from primary school is on Duncan and I couldn't be more proud of his achievements so far! I know how protected we are with men and women like him looking after us. Thankyou to you all ❤
Deff worth a watch
these ships are really really good even the americans said as much they also asked if we could not take part in some exercises because of just how good these ships were during the war games.
I repaired helicopters for nine years in the US Marines. I've been out for 13 years now into this day if I hear any helicopter I get all motivated feel like I need to go fix it. Big dumb ass grin on my face wondering where my multimeter and my tool roll are
Ive met the captain of Duncan, he’s a nice guy and was the captain during that gunboat incident.
This is my first time of watching your reaction and it's so awesome. I have subscribed to your channel i will keep watching your reactions now.
Hiya, mate. Here's a good read. I'm a former Royal Navy Leading Radio Operator who fought in the Falklands War like your dad, and my ship HMS Yarmouth stood by to take survivors off Glamorgan after they were hit by the land-launched Exocet. We'd previously rescued survivors from Sheffield and Ardent. The book is by me, Paul Cardin. It's controversial, no holds barred, and it's called "Return to Bomb Alley 1982 - The Falklands Deception". Russia took Crimea in February, March 2014. Cheers

@@nonameok1586what a absolute idiot you are making of yourself look now
Yeah I watched all 3 seasons after watching your last video on this as I was fascinated - definitely a good watch! not all combat/tension focused, it focuses a lot on individual crew members and the life of those crew while onboard. Saying that, I binged all 3 seasons in 2 days sooooooooo yeah, its pretty good! haha
love the reaction vids dude, would love to see more!
Russian entry was pointless they knew really they'd be toast
have not watched the Duncan one yet but watched the one on Elizabeth really good series defo gonna be watching the rest of the seasons on them.
Former USN gunnersmate here. To put it simply, the concept of directly attacking a modern guided missile warship is suicidal.
Especially Federation forces who are operating very old weapons platforms that in many cases have seen little to no block, flight, variant updates let alone modernization.
Sea domination dictates the course of geopolitics. Attacking ships, either civilian trade, liners, or military platforms is never a small incident.
Refer to Falklands War, Operation Praying Mantis, and the current Red Sea combat operations involving three multinational task forces from 29 nations.
This behavior by both Russian and Chinese forces is just old hat saber rattling and very reminiscent of the First Cold War.
My family has four generations of Navy going back to the first interim war years just prior to WWII. There were many stories from our Cold War vets of this kind of behavior.
My late Father was a lifer (20 years) in the submarine force both Pacific and Atlantic commands. The Russians like saber rattling but are we really surprised?
Holy shit dude 400 thousand ish views on this, I’m happy for you Luke. Also when’s more of gears/medal of honor coming out?
The Navy’s here! HMS Cossack 1940 Norway.
A Russian stealth Submarine was reported to have crashed into a Royal Navy ship a year ago,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
As proud as I am of the Royal Navy there is some serious arrogance here. If all 17 jets opened fire at the same time, each firing a salvo of missiles, (which is what they would do) HMS Duncan wouldn't stand a chance. With only 1 phalanx per side of the ship, there simply wouldn't be enough time, or enough phalanx rounds to down that many incoming threats. As for the 48 interceptor missiles, they can't all be launched simultaneously, they need time to launch. Again, there wouldn't be enough time to defend the ship with the jets that close, nor would 48 missiles be enough against 17 jets each carrying 4 or more missiles. The Royal Navy would only fire in self defence, by which time it's too late. Unfortunately this is how the Russians operate... They invade your airspace or buzz your targets so often without attacking, that if there is ever a real conflict they can get close enough, nobody expects an attack, and then they do, and nobody has time to respond.
People are over confident. They think Russian weapons are made from old tin cans. Russia has some astonishing weapons like the satan 2 which at 200 tons can travel 35000km at hypersonic speed - ie London to Berlin in around a few minutes. Some of the Russian aircraft can carry the Kinzal missiles, another hypersonic weapon.
This was 5 years ago, when the HMS Duncan was transiting through a legal shipping lane in the Black Sea near Crimea in Ukrainian waters, which Russia is proclaiming belongs to them,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
"we have 48 they are 17 " . the fact is they will saturate there 48 missiles with standoff weapons and interception rate is not 100% at all .
Still 2:1 odds at least, and at that it's highly unlikely all those jets even have functioning countermeasures.
I think Crimea being a disputed region..Russians must have had deployed coastal based anti ship missiles with far longer range than just 30 miles. Those jets aren't the least of their worries. Atleast 2-3 destroyers would even the odds.
@@Skywalker622she'd have done a heck of a lot of damage before being taken out that's for sure. Many of the old jets the Russians rely on for maritime strike can't be produced anymore, would have been too costly for the Russians even if they did damage or sink her.
@rowanmaguire7890 Oh there is no doubt she will be sunk if she is out there alone without back ups. Russian anti ship missiles certainly packs a lot of punch a hit or 2 will disable/distrupt most of the destroyer's systems then she will be a sitting duck thats a 1 Billion £ Destroyer ship with full complements of her sailors and 2 helicopters aboard....besides Russia's entire Black Sea fleet is based out of Sevastopol, Crimea. But yes I agree due to sanctions imposed after annexation of Crimea Russian economy and its manufacturing capacity has been hit even more so after the invasion of Ukraine.
@rowanmaguire7890 why they been making hundreds stealth 29s all funking slow 😂
Yes, I remember this case when the entire crew of the ship was sitting with diapers on their heads
And after the ship arrived at the home port, 60% of the crew quit due to psychological problems
Just wanted to say congrats on reaction
And YES YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!!
It's a brilliant series definitely worth watching also try watching the documentary around hms queen Elizabeth would be great to see you react to that
You are not alone dude
My Partners Dad was on Glamorgan. Ordeal by exocet is a great read.
48 missiles compared to how many missiles a single fighter jet may carry multiply that by 17 moving targets around a central location that cannot menuvor and escape being targeted by 17 aircraft including bombers that were built with the purpose of sinking ships.
I wouldn't be so arrogant no matter how much fire power you posses at your disposal.
Two words... Sea Viper.. look it up it was developed for this reason
+ 2x CIWS and that's not mentioning the jamming systems. Duncan would have taken damage yes... And might have sank in the long term returning to port but there would have been 17 downed foreign assets.
Not many people realise just how crazy this ship is.
I remember watching that on c5 ,I new tho when that many just started flying around they were just doing the run other mill stuff 😂😂
Awesome video, great video
Thanks for your service!
You smoked them out of their nest like a bunch of bees. They were all sitting ducks .
one request
please see if the volume for audio can be more balanced
difficult to hear the original and your commentary
thanks
Absolutely worth watching!!! It does a superb job at bringing into focus some of the situations our forces deal with on a regular basis! Several seasons now and I’ve watched it many times!!!!

It's one thing to be confident and I think this is fundamentally the problem with western approach to Russia, the complete dismissal of them as outdated and redundant.
That response about them having 48missiles and they have 17 aircrafts without any thought to their distance to Crimea some 30miles apparently knowing that Russia had that place on lock and Russian missile and ballistic weapons stationed there. You think that ship wouldve made it out of there? It would've been sunk as it's close to a Russian naval base Sevastopol. Hubris like this is what is causing many of the problems today underestimating Russia.
Hubris like this? Are you serious? Get a grip mate. Might as well have gone the whole hog and called it arrogance.
Do you honestly think any of the leading officers on board the HMS Duncan aren't aware of the capability of Russia's naval defences?
Arrogance plays no part in understanding your capability and your limitations. I don't think for one second they would have blindly engaged in such combat that would have left 1bn pounds worth of equipment in "no mans land".
@@robertshaw3619 My friend, the arrogance were the words of the naval officers remember the initial claim was 30km off Crimea in 2018. Russia took hold of that place via a referendum like what 2015 or thereabouts. The construction of the kerch bridge was still ongoing if I'm not mistaken.
So the arrogant words about 17jets and 48 missiles as if they can stop of the armaments carried by those aircrafts especially if they had torpedoes and that close to Russian coastal defences.
It's not what I think given the video it's what was said. Watch it again and YOU honestly think if they had even fired and downed 2 aircrafts if that ship wouldve made if out the black sea
@@osealey1402 I have a feeling you misunderstand me.
Most of what was said is not arrogance, I'd say it's mostly posturing more than anything. As I said before they will be well aware of Russia's armaments, and also well aware of their own. This isn't a case of " my guns bigger than yours " they will obviously still be well aware of the "what if " scenario. Having said that, I think it is you who underestimates the capability of the destroyer. As with any equipment... It depends not only on the capability of the equipment but the competence of the crew manning it. At 30km the computer calculated armaments of the type 45 destroyer leave 0 room for failure that is attributed to human error, which is more than can be said for the flight crew of the 17 singular jets surveying the sky above... Especially considering they most likely aren't even 4th generation jets. So they won't have integrated systems, meaning everything is human operated. Which leaves room for human error. The officers onboard the HMS Duncan will be well aware of this from their training. Again not Hubris or arrogance... Not even misplaced confidence. Just an understanding of the minute details. One thing the rest of the world misunderstands about his majesty's supposed "dwindling navy".
We may no longer have the world's most imposing navy but for what we lack in size we make up for in quality. Let me assure you of that. That comes in many forms. "My friend"
@@robertshaw3619 The topic has strayed, it may be posturing and nervous posturing at that given the situation but I was mainly pointing out a trend and mentality of dismissal of anything Russian and about their capabilities as you can see many of the other responses.
I'm just saying this is fundamentally wrong and its rife all throughout not only the political and military class. This thinking is asking to get slapped in the face as is happening. The HMS Duncan is no doubt a capable vessel but temper the bravado a bit in them areas. Clearly you cant send 3 or 4 Duncans up there now because everyone can see the capabilities. In 2018 they didnt know and that's the point.
Human error is always a factor I these situations but I'm sure these men are well trained it seemed to me foolhardy and cocksure to be going that close and at that time
Lots of Russophobia. The knobs running Britain and the British military establishment like warmongering.
Check out the "USS Zumwalt" Destroyer
It was when they was in the black sea if i remember rightly
I think they said good luck as like have a good rest of your day
As an Ex submariner I can say that the Russians are so busy flexing muscles to understand by just how much they are out gunned in EVERY way.
Thank was worth watching. Thanks bro! 👍
What happened two years ago when a Russian plane flew over British ship and everything on the ship crashed 😅 And some of your soldiers had nervous breakdown 😢
How do i find the podcast with your father about his time in the falklands please bro? interested to hear his story
If you just search “tactical chinwag OriginalHuman” you should find it :)
If that ship was on wartime..those fighter jets would be in the ocean very fast!!!
Tons and tons of Lithium has been found in Nevada and California. Please correct me if I am in error.
Yes as ex military man who served as an officer and man I followed the ‘siren song’ of being involved again. At first just as a contractor training Canadian, UK and USA forces and agencies to now being involved in operations in Ukraine. As a contractor I have less of the BS that I experienced working for the forces but additional issues with various governments trying to tell me what I can and cannot do. I think having a purpose and a strong sense of justice makes it easier to go back. Being solely respresponsible for my people our successes and failures is hard. Before we could always blame the higher ups for mission losses. It is vastly different when it all rests solely on one’s shoulders. At 55 it is good to be back with the lads.
Hey Luke very happy you're getting the views recently after the restart!
Larry Johnson says "the Brits are just a joke" "when I hear them comment I say just shut up".
Let's not kid ourselves .
The ships crew were fully aware the Russian planes were not intending to attack. This isn't the first time such encounters have been made.
And if the planes decided to fire there weapons that ship would have been disabled.
And this is why Russia doesn't want NATO on there doorstep
Bless them. The calm is amazing. Typical UK forces in an emergency. Well team.
Civilian. I seem to remember that H.M.S. Duncan was preserving international trading lanes, the Ruskis were hasseling ships to Odessa.
Awesome perfectly executed nice job guy hats of for a brilliant job of exercise in the ability of the nice beautiful war ship Dunkin’ nicely done Stay on top of it at you bests I’m very very impressed ❤
Yes please watch it and post it
He's like they have 17 fighter jets we have 40 missiles., what he failed to calculate was how much missiles each fighter could hit them with. I think being cocky has no place in warfare that's how people get killed. If attacked all at once you'd definitely get a hit no matter how good you are or how many guns are on board that ship.
HMS Duncan was 20 odd miles off the coast of Crimea?
And on the video, each whistle sound was when an aircraft was picked up on radar?
It has 48 anti aircraft missiles plus CIWS guns.
How many missiles did each of those 17 aircraft carry?
Were any hypersonic?
Do fighter aircraft usually approach the enemy ship and "buzz around" a few times, giving Duncan enough time to activate their defences before targeting or releasing their missiles?
If firing at Duncan was the real aim, would these fighter jets not have released their missiles as soon as they knew they were picked up on Duncan's radar or even before that?
And if 2 aircraft released at least 2 hypersonic missiles plus the usual load from the remaining 15 aircraft, doubt 48 missiles or CIWS would have been that handy.
What are the chances the commander's words were primarily as stress relief and reassurance to his crew?
Did anyone think that the commander was going to say his mind in full truth?
Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 if that's any help. Many civilians wouldn't understand just how complicated the situation is.
And yeah you should watch the full Docu
4 years prior, in Feb 2014 Russia invaded, and annexed Crimea.
Yeah in last two decades usa has destabilized middle East and killed millions but nobody cares 💀
8 years plus this has been happening, Russia played the west and won over Syria, the uk has been supporting the Saudi Yemen conflict for about 10 years.
Well focusing their radar on 1 of those planes would fry it. And i bet good money they know it.
One must be kidding yourselve if u believe computers or TV studio like setup can win you wars.
17 of them against our 48 missiles. Hmmm and what happens when each jet, in a surprise attack, deploys an airborn torpedo to the water? How will your 48 asters and 2 phalanx stop 17 torpedoes? All of which could be deployed before Duncan fires off a single missile. Those officers were way over confident.
From Terence Wise...........Sadly yours is the only sane comment on this channel.Congrats and Respect.
Pretty sure none of those Russian jets were carrying torpedoes! Even if they were, as soon as they locked on to Duncan they would have been blown out of the sky. This is probably the most advanced anti aircraft ship sailing the seas and oceans today. This ships main role is to lock on to and destroy multiple threats from the air. Once her silos open it is game over for those 17 fighter jets. Attacking an anti aircraft ship, with aircraft shows just how dumb those Russian are!
😅 The RN has been spiked a number of times. But no ship can defend against a large drop of missiles if dropped close and the Russians have been coming close for decades.
@@derf9465the Russians are failing more and more each day
They’re in Russian waters Crimea. So intercepted by Russian air force. Being ex RAF they’d be conducting bomb runs. They’d also be targeted by Russian anti ship missiles from the Crimea. It wouldn’t stand a chance.
Basically, HMS Duncan was sailing around Crimea to undermine Russia's claim to it. TBH it's all diplomatic theatre. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that the Russian Airforce (including Naval Air Forces) are a complete disaster featuring poor leadership, badly trained pilots, lack of advanced fighter planes and poor maintenance. The fact they couldn't secure overall air superiority in Ukraine says so much. Even though the British Military has many issues, we would tear them to shreds on land, sea and air.
...and deep space, yes sir.
Sounds good, but beware hubris.
17 Russians firing all their missiles at one time could be an issue, not discounting land based launched missiles, subs and surface ships.
Deff worth a watch
You should watch the clip about the ship having a Russian Sub hit.
Full story: this was in 2018. Today Turkey is an ally of Russia and doesn't let any Nafo ships in the Black sea. 😂 Thanks Erodogan.
Sigh. What the hell is the point of sailing nato assets around crimea when we dont want a war with russia?
If china was sailing their warships off of Florida i wouldn't like it. If russia had their warships off Britain the Brits wouldnt like it either.
Crimea is an active war zone. Either get in the war or stay out of the way. This isn't complicated.
I love the fact we are in their territory and surprised they are sending air assets 😂
Russia annexed crimea in 2014, so this would’ve taken place some time between 2014-2021 5:12
it is hard to explain feeling of stress but i miss it myself
What's the worst that can happen?
Thermonuclear WW3...?
Not one wearing anti flash?
The ship would be be sunk regardless of how many missiles the ship had. PERIOD. At least 2 or 3 planes would have fired missiles off.
Hi mate, my dad was on the glamorgan in 82 too!
Ask him if he knows Steve Jillings! (My dad) 😂
Been aboard a couple of the type 45s and they are not to be fucked with. Also watch the documentary its a good watch
The ship probably as no bullets
Take your ship back to your Island, crazy idea, I know.
Your dates are very mixed up haha! 2014 Russians entered crimea.
Was this around the time that that Russian spy got poisoned with novachok ?
I'm quite satisfied with my own reactions to watching stuff. What a weird world we live in. Everyone must be creatively brain dead if they constantly need to watch other people's reactions, but hey! If that's what they like and you're happy with that alone, then good luck mate, you're certainly only one of tens of thousands who think the same.
Thank you for your military service. All the best.
They were in the Black Sea mate.... near to the coast of Russian occupied Crimea, which is a part of Ukraine. They took over Crimea in 2014.
I marine that don't know it started in 2014, we're u the pot wash??
Too busy eating crayons ..
your thumbnails are jokes 😂 its literally the same few used over and over again but sometimes mirrored lmao
It's a thumbnail mate. Get over it.
Keep doing military stuff
If she was in international waters she should have locked onto these jets to warn them off, Russians only respect action then words.
I'm a army veteran and yer I miss it like mad people don't understand the feeling
I was grunt in Mercia Regiment so we didn't expect the medal of honour after every mission lol The Azov sea is partly international water because shipping! They took Crimes in 2014/15.
You will know MR Ballen,then?
They cannot find sailors, anymore(m no military expert, but the Sheffield got taken out by a 150 thousand dollar Exocet missile, if an aircraft carrier were hit by a combatant, it would provoke a huge response and nukes would fly, seems like an arrogant and false sense of security these huge ships.
She had or had the world's most powerful radar. In the documentary the crew were more concerned the russian aircraft would be affected by the radar and crash into the sea.
WTH is a British Warship doing in the Black Sea?!
Patrolling
Haha, HMS Duncan a war winning Royal Navy ship of the has-been Brits. Aren’t they a hoot! I expect their carriers will be following behind. Minus any aircraft though…Can’t afford them! Never mind, Uncle Sam has got their back!!!! Haha.
The level of hubris and unwarranted cockiness of the brits is astounding - c clearly still stuck in Victoria era mentally.
They know they can start a war and uncle Sam has to fight it for them.
@@pierredelecto7069😂😂😂 🔔end
A feel good show for patriotic british folk who havent realised that despite favorable coverage in Ukraine, the reality on the ground is different.
No Navy in the World has been tested by hypersonic missiles. Its premature to assume HMS Duncan has the capabilities to defend itself even against a Kamakazi swarm drone attack. Great Ego piece though.
"They have 17 aircraft we have 48 missiles". 6 missiles x 17 aircraft =102 missiles' means only one outcome. Just go home. the shore battery missile will get you.
