  • Who would have won if the Cold war went hot in 1989? This is the second video of a three part series, exploring the balance of power between two sides. It analyzes the aircraft, SAM systems and their orders of battle in the Atlantic and Pacific, theorizes about the course of aerial conflict and talks in general about each side's technology, doctrine, strengths and weaknesses.

    I'm really interested to see land warfare in this scenario - it is said that the Warsaw Pact had the conventional land warfare edge in Europe up until about 1983/1984, and after that the balance tipped in favour of NATO, due to better technology and new tactics/strategies.

    Great video Binkov!
    Once the US introduced the F-15 and F-16 fighters to it's fleet during the Cold War, they pretty made every Russia fighter obsolete. The F-15 was by far the best air superiority fighter in the world and had a great radar, avionics and other sensors. The F-16 was just a nasty little fighter that could do just about anything you could think of from air superiority to air to ground missions. The Russian Mig 29 wasn't that big of a threat to either the F-15 or F-16, but if the Mig 29 managed to get in close, it could become a threat.

    • @gbornitz

    What a great video series. Thank you very much for doing these Binkov. However I'm puzzled how you rate the planes ? The Mig-23 has got to be the worst fighter of the cold war , see the loss rates when operated by Arab armies. Likewise the F-15 has shot down over 100 opponents with no losses which makes it beyond exceptional . Great video all the same

    • @gbornitz
      @gbornitz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think it is based on the equipment and flight performance of the plane. The kill ratios of the two planes are not that useful, as they happend under different circumstances. E.g. the Mig 23 was often flown by poor trained pilots against more modern enemies, whereas the F15 was flown by well trained pilots against older planes. Furthermore, the US F15 enjoyed force multipliers like AWACS. Also the effectivness of planes changes with the number of planes. The 200 km range of the F15 radar loses part of its advantage, if you lose situational awareness, because the airspace is too crowded.

      If you look at the lists he provides more closely, you realize that NATO led in the numbers of good and modern aircrafts. Most of WP's planes were mediocre or poor. NATO air forces marginally win in this scenario, because it is able to deliver more damage to the WP ground troops than they themselves take.

      edit: some people Said something about the logistics, and thats why he dosnt put the whole number, but i dont think so, but anyway, if he uses logistics, then use the same for both sides, its not like you are going to watch by example football and tell a team that its players cant use one of their legs lol

    Our bases wouldve been knocked out with short range missiles. Soviet aircraft are easier to maintain in a war they could land on improvised airfields. There mobile air defense would claim a lot more of our aircraft. Tactical nuclear weapons would be needed to stop a full Soviet push to the Rhine. Simulations say 7 days to the Rhine river, then they would have to stop at the French borders. Baring nuclear weapons 1 1/2 months the Soviets would take all of western Europe.

    Great video. Fairly thorough and insightful. Binkov even laid out the stats and details. In conjunction with his other two vids in this series, well done!
    The importance for both sides of AWACS, AEW, and ELINT platforms cannot be overstated. A Sentry, Hawkeye, or IL-76 can control an air battle for hundreds of miles. Their powerful (air and surface) search radars enable fighters and strike planes not to have to employ their own active sensors and remain under EMCON. Sometimes certain aircraft can even target enemy platforms using the data from the AEW aircraft. ELINT platforms can jam and confuse radar systems.
    It comes down to those who can see farthest, clearest, and see the enemy first will almost always win. Especially with BVR attack capabilities, even in 1989. (For example, the F-14 Tomcat's up to six Phoenix missiles had a range of 100+ miles.) In 1989, and still true today, he who can aquire, identify (IFF), and fire first lives to fire again.

      Stål Handske
      While abolishing the conscription may have been a really bad decision in hindsight knowing how the world looks now (and arguably without hindsight as there are benefits of the program for society in general, but anyway), it made sense due to the doctrine change. Going from a force made to defend from the invasion of a neighboring superpower to one of international peace-keeping was made because the superpower was no longer as big of a threat and keeping the rest of the world at peace made sure that consequences didn't spread to us (like hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the middle east creating the... politically interesting... situation we are in now).
      Would these missions worked and kept the world more peaceful than the price of the positive effects of the conscription program might have been worth it. But now with that price paid *and* our home region once again feeling pressure from the superpower in the east we got stuck with all the negatives and none of the positive aspects.
      Sorry if I'm rambling a bit. But analyzing decisions, especially bad ones, and seeing if they made sense at the time is something I find really interesting.

      Vietnam does not stand a chance against US if the morale factor is not considered

      Check the difference in death toll, and all the battles fought, you can clearly see that without involving politics or moral, the winning side isn't Vietnam. Tet Offensive is actually a turning point in the war, and guess that North Vietnam didn't win that one, but they won the war anyway because it was not about the military. When morale is not accounted for, then the scenario devolved into war of attrition. US has larger population and industrial capacity, so if there's no other goal than annihilating another's country ability to fight, then Vietnam will eventually ran out of able people to fight. Vietnam has about 40 million people (combined South and North Vietnam) around Vietnam War period, US has 200 million people. Average fit-for-service population is 1/3 of the total population, this mean that Vietnam has 20 million people and US has 66 million. US lost about 58,000 soldiers, while North Vietnam loses about 849,000 soldiers, giving a ratio of 14 to 1. Meaning on average, one US soldier can kill 14 Viet Congs. So in a war of attrition scenario, US would undoubtedly win.

    in Czechoslovakia there were several units with the S-200 VEGA set and one regiment equipped with the S-300 set and dozens of positions S-75 VOLCHOV and S-125 NEVA, dozens of sets 2K12 KUB, OSA-AKM, S-10 Strela10 and thousands of S- 2 Strela2. I was a soldier at the command post in 1990. We were visited by representatives of the US AIR FORCE and the German Air Force. they saw a tactical map deploying air defense units. They were terrified. they said they would not win and would have huge losses.
