One story I heard about Hawk missiles was from an acquaintance back in the pre gulf wars time. He was looking in an F-14 cockpit and noticed a "Fuzzbuster" anti police speed radar detector. He ask why that was there? He was told that Iran still had Hawk missiles from the Shaw government days and the F-14 anti missile warning system was set up for Russian sourced missiles frequencies and would not pick up the Hawk system radars. But the Hawk radar's emissions would be picked up by the anti speeding radar detectors so they put them on the aircraft's glare shield for early warning just in case.
I was a 16E(Command and Control crewman) then 24G(ICC and continuous wave radar tech) and then 24R (IHAWK master mechanic). The missiles themselves are not the issue, but the associated radar and command and control systems, as well as some logistical issues like radar parts, and maintenance as well as missile delivery and assembly and launcher loading procedure. I don't know what overarching Air Defense Command and Control Ukraine has - we had challenges getting IHAWK integrated with US Air Force and USMC because everyone used different data link systems. However; a IHAWK unit can operate independently, guided by whatever ROE is in effect. IHAWK had IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) capability - air breathing threats have to 'squawk' the correct IFF to avoid being engaged. Drones do not have that ability. I thought it interesting that a picture of an ICC (Integrated Command and Control) was pulling a IHawk launcher. We usually towed the ICWAR. The basic load of an US Army IHawk battery was 32 missiles. The IHawk missile system can see targets out to 80 Km (with the HIPAR), but usually engages around 40-60 Km. The system can launch missiles one at a time, salvo (two) and Ripple (three) at a time, depending on how the threat is assessed. It also has the ability to engage super-short range targets, usually pop-up targets that employ terrain-following navigation. While the system is highly mobile, it does take some training to select an appropriate location, emplace the system, get it to battle stations, and acquire/engage targets. Then you gotta march order the equipment and get to another location to keep the enemy from zeroing in on you. Basically, if the IHawk acquisition radars can see a target, the missile will successfully engage it.
I guess it's way cheaper than other systems. Like NASAAMs. These look so Russian. Relatively simple, made in numbers for a long conflict... I may be wrong but cold war stuff is the best

When I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point, NC in the early '90s as a Marine in a MAG-32 AV8-B Harrier II support squadron - there was a Hawk Missile Battalion by the call sign of 3rd LAAMB (3rd light anti-aircraft missile battalion). They were posted way out "in the boonies" (ie: well away from the flightline, as we were directly on the flightline) - out by the Cryogenics Shop and Ordnance (ie: the liquid nitrogen, the bombs, missiles, and aircraft gun rounds, and the Hawk missiles - ie: all the highly explosive stuff was well away from the general population, LOL). The only time we saw them was either in the chow hall, on deployment - or at the Enlisted Club where after a many drinks/beers there was always a fight between them and other shops or units, LOL.....

@@WhoNow283 Interesting how the Russian air force isn't flying into Ukrainian air space. Planes are staying in Russia, lobbing missiles from there. Apropos of nothing, Ukraine has agreed not to use American weapons to attack into Russia. And a lot of air defense systems are used to defend cities against Russia cruise missiles.
Much of the ordinance that the US has supplied to Ukraine is old stock scheduled to be retired and de-milled in the near-future, giving the stuff away saves the US the costs of de-milling the stuff while helping Ukraine, it's a win-win situation.
This is so true! It saves us millions. Now we're getting rid of the old cluster 155 shells. Sending them retired Marine corps Abrams. It seems that we are cleaning out cold war and 90's stuff.
Definitely one of the best air defense systems ever developed. Most people have no idea just how good it is. It is also, from what I know, the first system ever to shoot down a short range tactical ballistic missile. Or artillery missile as I believe Honest John was called by the US Army. However, anti-missile capability was one of the crucial military capabilities that the US dropped development on to appease the soviets... Of course the soviets never returned the favor, but those who pushed for canceling the development of anti-missile capability in the US were in reality the ones whose only goal to aid the Soviet Union.
You neglect to mention those people who knew they would never have to worry about incoming enemy "messages." I'm still pissed that Tricky blithely "negotiated" away our superb Sprint missile system in the SALT Talks "all those years ago."

@@the_unrepentant_anarchist. I do not not know where you got your information. Spain had PIP III HAWKs systems that they were actively training with. Those are the systems they sent to Spain. The missiles came from the US after being refurbished.
It is good example of old but faithful weapon. Limited capability by its old age, but within its capability, it will shoot down slow prop aircraft and helicopters reliably. Still a dependable weapon.
The hawk is still potentially viable. I noticed a lot of older weapons are being futted with uograde packages. I bet raytheon could outfit it with an uograded sensor pack
A Hawk battery has (in my time1979) 6 launchers with each 3 Hawk missiles. A search radar (par) two track/follow radars (Hipir) and in case of multiple targets jamming one radar ROR to manually determine the speed of an aircraft. Because it broke down so often it was called Repair Only Radar. 🤭
I would suggest using DCS footage instead of ARMA 3 since DCS has essentially infinite view distance and most aircraft modelled even if in only an AI form. It also has much better graphics and will run much smoother than ARMA ever could.
Replacing the HAWK rocket motors when they expire is essential. It's not just an effectiveness issue, it's a safety issue. If the propellant grain fractures, the motor will explode.
What's wrong on using old stuffs against enemies. They will never use latest weapons against country like Ukraine. When they run out of all the antique weapons they will eventually retreat back.

Everything we're putting into Ukraine is last gen or earlier equipment the Defense Department was going to have to pay to scrap. Anything we're giving out we still have PLENTY of. Enough to fight a war against at least two near-peer adversaries simultaneously. That's DOD's SOP.
OTOH if you let the drone through, what would be the cost of the damage? Offensive weapons are much easier to build when they can cause a lot of damage by themselves. A defensive weapon is a lot harder to build because they have to cover all possibilities to be effective. For example, it is expensive to build a 1000 km trench network to guard against border incursions while it's much cheaper to create a 5 m gap in the trench system for an enemy attack.
Greetings . It would be interesting to know if the HAWK can be used in anti-ship functions if necessary and if the ATDL-1 system allows the HAWK launchers to be used in a PATRIOT missile battery or should all the elements of the HAWK battery be available and the PATRIOT system only supplies telemetry with your radar. Thank you .
@@jamesgornall5731 And it is doing it, but to interoperate with friendly forces or in case of needing to use HAWK missiles due to lack of supplies of PATRIOT missiles it is something to take into account.
@@arbelico2 well they need to stop with the propaganda, making out there are enough Patriot missiles and launchers to cover the entirety of Ukraine....

Maken no mistake, at mach 3.2 you don't want a salvo of them on your tail, but why, why not a little more truth. They could say, "Russians have always built excellent rockets, not to be underestimated" instead it's this, "Team America" style parade, where mote caution is required
4:31 No Aircraft were downed over the skies of Palestine, rather the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt. The term Palestine had not geographic significance in that period, for it predated the Oslo Accords and the formation of the PA.
4:20 regarding Israel shooting down a 'friendly aircraft that was about to crash into the Negev nuclear research center' It looks like Israel just shot down one of its own fighters that overflew the facility after being damaged in a bombing run (during the 1967 six day war). I don't know why you phrased it like you did. Seems shady.
Air defence success is not measured by how many planes the system has destroyed, but by how many incoming sorties have been cancelled by the attackers.
in february of 2022 the rich countrys lauched a special military operation in ukraine because alice was to old for service after the great desease - and then tom tomcat dies away in doomed doomed never surported worldspace
I don't think Hawk would be anywhere near the threat to Russian aircraft as the Patriot. I mean, one Patriot ambush, on May 13, destroyed five Russian aircraft, with all aircrew KIA. I don't think Hawk will ever come close to that sort of accomplishment. That said, we have a ton of Hawks in storage doing nothing, and they are capable of defending Ukrainian civilian cities from Russian cruise missiles and suicide drones. This can free up more sophisticated air defense systems for front line use.
If we use those to shoot down lancets... Putin will be laughing so hard. We spend more for one of those hawks up than it cost for Russia to use a swarm of lancets. The lancet has without a doubt been the biggest game changer in this war. It will require NATO re-write its entire war strategy for years to come. Mark this... the lancet will change warfare for years to come. Every country better start developing their own version if they want to survive a major conflict. Rest assured that Russia is already working on the next gen lancet too. The new pod launched model is an upgrade but I suspect it will end up being refined further... More range and speed are going to be coming next... watch and see. I predict 1hr loitering time and 100mph level flight in the next version. Expect to see different profile with far less drag on next version. Russia can't compete with the USA on high tech but they are excellent at adapting to war conditions and coming up with cost effective weaponry. Been doing it since WWII. I'm no Russia fanboy but do acknowledge their ability to adapt to war conditions. USA innovates but has far too much focus on bleeding edge tech. China depends too much on "borrowed" tech. England, France and others tend to follow lead of USA. Russia uses a totally different war strategy. Love them or hate them but Russia knows how to get the very most from their resources when it comes to war.
On the Zaporhizhia front, Ukrainian forces are having to deal with huge numbers of mines while their demining vehicles are vulnerable to artillery, ATGMs, and Ka-52 helicopters. Ukrainian artillery is impressively attritting Russian artillery and will soon be able to effectively negate ATGM crews, too. With Hawks to take out the helicopters, the Ukrainians will finally be able to start advancing as they need to to attain their objectives.
He has to balance it out as he’s made videos that praise certain Russian technologies (this automatically causes insane current thingers to mass dislike and unsubscribe) so he has to make videos of pro-Ukraine tech to bring the Current Thingers back
@@stealthSGMBotally. There are plenty of Russian military gear they focus on. This channel is primarily about military tech. Probably not the right channel for you @_-Freeman-_ and that’s totally fine.
I mean, the Ukrainians have taken several hundred square miles in the past two months. It’s not massive amounts of land, but is definitely more than “basic Russian lines”.
300 square miles claimed, but they haven't got as far as the first defensive line yet and all they are doing now is light infantry probes, so it's not looking good.

But there is no other way to convince audience, that this obsolete missiles will do any damage to Russian ais-space iforces.
@@zamistro its a game.
@@TheSanych type in youtube: hawk missile system, there are 100s of real videos… no need to take a game as example… a GAME xD
Is this the system that 'Old Blood and Guts' Oliver North sent to Iran?
It is HOMING ALL WEATHER KILLER!
If it still works then keep it.
It's weird that the US have unlimited funds to secure Ukraine's borders but no money to secure the US borders. I just don't get it.
Maybe it's because there are no Russians on our border trying to invade us.
You’re not very bright are you? 🙄🤡🤦🏼♂️
Immigrants are not crossing our borders in tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets. Not launching missiles either.
Ok, it's 2 weeks later, send more to Ukraine please.
Good send it to UA everything you got
great to use on 200usd drones
OTOH if you let the drone through, what would be the cost of the damage?
Offensive weapons are much easier to build when they can cause a lot of damage by themselves. A defensive weapon is a lot harder to build because they have to cover all possibilities to be effective.
For example, it is expensive to build a 1000 km trench network to guard against border incursions while it's much cheaper to create a 5 m gap in the trench system for an enemy attack.

Many random images of HIMAS and Patriot systems.

Greetings . It would be interesting to know if the HAWK can be used in anti-ship functions if necessary and if the ATDL-1 system allows the HAWK launchers to be used in a PATRIOT missile battery or should all the elements of the HAWK battery be available and the PATRIOT system only supplies telemetry with your radar. Thank you .
The Patriot was supposed to replace the badly, badly outclassed Hawk...
@@jamesgornall5731 And it is doing it, but to interoperate with friendly forces or in case of needing to use HAWK missiles due to lack of supplies of PATRIOT missiles it is something to take into account.
@@arbelico2 well they need to stop with the propaganda, making out there are enough Patriot missiles and launchers to cover the entirety of Ukraine.... I mean, 1960 an S-75 Dvina brought down F.Garry Powers's U2 down...thankfully he survived thankfully for both nations and for his family but you don't see tge Russians wheeling little Dvina out as though it's on the cusp of state of the art, do you? Maken no mistake, at mach 3.2 you don't want a salvo of them on your tail, but why, why not a little more truth. They could say, "Russians have always built excellent rockets, not to be underestimated" instead it's this, "Team America" style parade, where mote caution is required
4:31 No Aircraft were downed over the skies of Palestine, rather the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt. The term Palestine had not geographic significance in that period, for it predated the Oslo Accords and the formation of the PA.
4:20 regarding Israel shooting down a 'friendly aircraft that was about to crash into the Negev nuclear research center'
It looks like Israel just shot down one of its own fighters that overflew the facility after being damaged in a bombing run (during the 1967 six day war).
I don't know why you phrased it like you did. Seems shady.
What they can do with AI they don't need warfare anymore just control each individual through their device
When it turns Russian planes into trash, then make a video about it.
Israeli modified Hawk systems are In lon term Storage but the Israeli government has refused to sell them back to the us to be transferred to Ukraine.
yeah? and how many russian planes has it managed to convert????))))
Air defence success is not measured by how many planes the system has destroyed, but by how many incoming sorties have been cancelled by the attackers.
in february of 2022 the rich countrys lauched a special military operation in ukraine because alice was to old for service after the great desease - and then tom tomcat dies away in doomed doomed never surported worldspace
Ideal for use on the Ukrainian front line against airplanes and helicopters...
Bullshit. I’m former HAWK BCO. Not a change. Outdated. No capable track 1m3.
lol notice how Russian and Chinese made material still isn’t sht 15 years from now let alone 40😂😂😂😂
Bro this design is at least 60 years old and has been totally retired by the U.S Army since the 90s, this is just pure propaganda.
Nope. HAWK is still is use in many countries and has been continually updated throughout its life.
No match for Russia
And just why are you, just like Putin, calling the obvious war a military special operation?!
I haven't seen Ukraine winning chit but I've noticed our government can't say where it went
I don't think Hawk would be anywhere near the threat to Russian aircraft as the Patriot. I mean, one Patriot ambush, on May 13, destroyed five Russian aircraft, with all aircrew KIA. I don't think Hawk will ever come close to that sort of accomplishment.
That said, we have a ton of Hawks in storage doing nothing, and they are capable of defending Ukrainian civilian cities from Russian cruise missiles and suicide drones. This can free up more sophisticated air defense systems for front line use.
It doesn't have to be as good. As you said, it provides more coverage.
Defense in depth and backup.
All of Ukraine has TWO Patriot systems.
If we use those to shoot down lancets... Putin will be laughing so hard. We spend more for one of those hawks up than it cost for Russia to use a swarm of lancets. The lancet has without a doubt been the biggest game changer in this war. It will require NATO re-write its entire war strategy for years to come. Mark this... the lancet will change warfare for years to come. Every country better start developing their own version if they want to survive a major conflict. Rest assured that Russia is already working on the next gen lancet too. The new pod launched model is an upgrade but I suspect it will end up being refined further... More range and speed are going to be coming next... watch and see. I predict 1hr loitering time and 100mph level flight in the next version. Expect to see different profile with far less drag on next version. Russia can't compete with the USA on high tech but they are excellent at adapting to war conditions and coming up with cost effective weaponry. Been doing it since WWII. I'm no Russia fanboy but do acknowledge their ability to adapt to war conditions. USA innovates but has far too much focus on bleeding edge tech. China depends too much on "borrowed" tech. England, France and others tend to follow lead of USA. Russia uses a totally different war strategy. Love them or hate them but Russia knows how to get the very most from their resources when it comes to war.
On the Zaporhizhia front, Ukrainian forces are having to deal with huge numbers of mines while their demining vehicles are vulnerable to artillery, ATGMs, and Ka-52 helicopters. Ukrainian artillery is impressively attritting Russian artillery and will soon be able to effectively negate ATGM crews, too. With Hawks to take out the helicopters, the Ukrainians will finally be able to start advancing as they need to to attain their objectives.
The incessant propaganda has grown tiresome and the loss of life unconscionable. Enough of the warmongering.
So the free world should let tyrants/dictators do as they please?
@@user-mh5qg5jb7d Europe and the US is not the free world.
He has to balance it out as he’s made videos that praise certain Russian technologies (this automatically causes insane current thingers to mass dislike and unsubscribe) so he has to make videos of pro-Ukraine tech to bring the Current Thingers back

I use to live your videos - now it’s almost as bad as CNN
Those things are to become museum pieces....for the Russian ones.
MIM-23 Hawk is actually a sparrow.
If this stuff is so good why is the UAF failing to break the most basic russian lines?
LOL what? For the same reason the Russians didn't take Kiev with their S-400s....because you don't use air defense missiles vs. ground targets.
I mean, the Ukrainians have taken several hundred square miles in the past two months. It’s not massive amounts of land, but is definitely more than “basic Russian lines”.
@@kwharrison6668 several hundred miles in the past few months? Well the first counter attacks last year yes. But the past 6 months no.
@@mrtodddelaroderie since May
300 square miles claimed, but they haven't got as far as the first defensive line yet and all they are doing now is light infantry probes, so it's not looking good.
LoL nope
you have your patriot, stinger, and thaad there then why hawk?
The more coverage, the better.
The insertion of video game footage is making your videos infinitely bad. Please stop.
except it doesnt
Really leaning into the propaganda headlines aren't you? 😂
