As someone who has served on an ohio class submarine, they definitely don’t tell you all of the capabilites of that weapon system, also it’s frigid cold most of the time onboard.
my dad works for BWXT, the navy's supplier of boilers, and he claims that they are also short selling just how much power and speed aircraft/subs are capable of. He claims based on the size, strength, and stress test data they are able to sustain much higher power outputs than they say.
@Seth Thank you, Sir for your service and sacrifices, for which without men and women like you, we as a Nation would not be living free. My oldest brother served aboard a submarine during the Vietnam era . He has sadly passed away, but buried with Military honors in California.
The landing "Touch and Go" landing. Is because they are practicing landings. Landing can be one of the most important skills to practice in an airplane. This is also done if the landing doesn't feel right to the pilot. Maybe they are too far down the runway or going too fast.
Suggestion for you... Increase the volume on the video we are watching so that it matches your microphone volume. I commonly watch on my phone, and find it very hard to hear the video, while your microphone volume is perfect. When the jet fighter did a touch-and-go, they might have been practicing for carrier landings in case they miss the trap.
1:41 that is a U.S Recon Helicopter Drone, it was built to detect its opponents and also meant to be a radar on air for troops to see and keep track of hostile troops, it wasn't used that much though, they mostly used the UAVs for better detection in some way and try to get better targets if I'm correct. Edit: I'm american 👍👍
To answer your question about the letters referring to the U.S. Navy names. The letters represent what mission type that aircraft has. It is as follows: A-Assault, B-Bomber, C-Cargo, E-Electronic Warfare, F Fighter, H-Helicopter, O-Observation, P-Patrol, S-Submarine, Anti-, T-Training aircraft, U-Utility, V-V/STOL or Verticalo/Short Takeoff and landing. The numbers are the series number of that aircraft and the letter after the number is what modication package it is. I am A U.S. Navy Veteran and had to learn these.
Small correction - A is for Attack as it relates to aircraft designations. It's the common designation standard for all US military aircraft. When it cones to US Navy ships, an A at the end (as in LHA) stands for Assault (as in Landing platform Helicopter Assault). At the beginning, it means that the ship is an auxiliary (as in AO for Auxiliary Oiler).
I believe the only time US Navy Aircraft Carriers launched bomber aircraft was during the Doolittle Raid on Japan in WW2 . US Navy and USMC aircraft that drop bombs are designated as Attack Aircraft .
US Marine here. They barely scratched the surface of our capabilities. Just know that we have the resources to defend our people, and any direct conflict with us would be met with overwhelming force. We have some really cool stuff... but I truly hope we never have to use it.
When I was in the service I partied with a bunch of submariners that just got back to base from a six month deployment. That’s a long time to be at sea smelling each other’s farts
10:29 they were practicing a touch-n-go, basically practicing landing without ever coming to a full stop. In carrier landings, the pilots have to be real quick about getting back up to flying speed to retry a landing, hence why the pilot never slowed down. If the US military released all the info concerning the classified kit on its military equipment, no country would ever dare try to attack any US base or the homeland.
The 3 seawolfs are badass subs though. One of them could savage an enemy fleet. Each boat has 8 torpedo tubes and they have the ability to silently launch torpedos at low speeds, they can dive very deep. 1 of the seawolfs, U.S.S. Jimmy Carter is much longer as it has a special hull section for berthing and launching special forces, divers, and Unmanned submersible vehicles. It is a special projects boat, which means it can do some very special things to collect intelligence.
The touch and go you just saw that pilot do could be for multiple reasons although judging by his armament/load-out, he's probably practicing landings while still fully armed most likely with dud armaments so if something goes wrong there's no big boom. The practice landings where they touch and go are usually due to cost savings. Much like in your car on cruise control, it saves fuel to just touch and go for another practice run instead of slowing down and taxiing for another takeoff. Rule number 1 in the Navy: if you're ever wondering why an operation is done a certain way, ask yourself if it saves the Navy money, and if it's possible that's the case, then it's also highly likely one of the correct answers.
The Phalanx / CIWS air defense system. That has been used on U.S. ships for years now. Has also been adapted too be used by ground forces. Is mounted on a lowboy style Simi trailer. Is essentially the same gun. That is used in the A-10 Warthog Air craft. In which it's roll is as an anti tank weapons platform. Basically when you absolutely have to have something filled full of holes. Or want it to closely resemble Swiss cheese. It is the weapon of choice.
This is wrong. The A-10 uses 30mm rounds. The Phalanx CIWS shoots 20mm rounds. The only similarity between the M61 Vulcan and the GAU-8 are they are rotary autocannons made by General Electric. They shoot different sized rounds, the Vulcan has 6 barrels to the GAUs 7, and the Vulcan can be driven by more methods than the GAU. I would agree the GAU may have used knowledge gained from the Vulcan in its development, but they are not the same gun. The dutch do use the GAU in their Goalkeeper CIWS.
I know you guys call anything “kit” but in American English we call ships, planes, drones etc assets. We don’t really use the term kit but when/if someone does it is usually referred to clothing or carried equipment. Not that it really matters but I find the terminology difference interesting. Thanks for the video buddy.
_China sticks .50cal machine guns on fishing boats._ China: "Now WE have the biggest navy in the world!" American Media: "OMG the Chinese have the biggest navy in the world!" U.S. Navy: "... neat?"
The thing is the bane of conscript armies is small skilled units this was proven in the Falklands when British para and SAS troops proved themselves capable of winning with seemingly impossible odds against hordes of conscripts
When I was in the Marine Corps they told us that 50 Calver machine goes could not be used on troops just military gear and we were told the canteens on the soldiers hips were military gear. Lol
Seahawk is a naval version of the Blackhawk the army uses. The main differences are the tail wheel is moved amidships so that the tail of the aircraft can be made foldable, the rotors are foldable. The U.S. coast guard uses versions of the Seahawk as well.
Touch and go maneuvers are important for quickly getting off the runway if there's an emergency obstruction or if they need to get back in the fight for any reason.
In the late 1990s the air force retired their radar jamming aircraft the EF-111 spark 'vark. Having no replacement aircraft, the air force merge their personnel with U.S. Navy EA-6B prowler squadrons to create composite squadrons. In 2007, the Navy replaced it's 4 seat EA-6Bs with 2 seat EF-18G growlers.
The Phalanx is one of my favorite defense systems. Definitely one of the US militaries best creations. Its success rate for shooting down missiles is ridiculously great. When it's shot at night time it looks like a laser beam or a melted metal chain due to how fast it fires.
Hello, I had trouble hearing your video today, I could hear you just fine and although I had the volume on my speakers on 100% and the volume on this program up to 100% I still could barely hear them talking, since I couldn't hear it anyway I just muted it and went on to something else letting it play out for your algorithm.
Bro there is so much about the military weapons systems that us soldier's sailors marines and airmen dont even know. im a tanker and the abrams platform still amazes me to this day
As a marine I think you would love the American amphibious assault ships, mini carriers built to deploy marines and provide them air support. th-cam.com/video/i-6XyqbhSjE/w-d-xo.html Edit: Also by mini I mean by us standards, they are still massive lol 45000 tons, your carriers are like 60000.
@@sportsmom165 Yup. Idk if it's for one specific class of them or all since there are a few classes in use that are all similar. Edit: no idea if they still call them that since it's all F-35s now.
@@A_Name_ I think the only ship my daughter was on was the USS Sacajawea when she was at Oki. Said it didn't even qualify to be called a boat. She had smoother rides on a white water raft going over class IV rapids. LOL
When I was in the United States Marine Corps we used to have nighttime life fire on the rifle range using tracers. That was awesome with about 80 guys with Rifles and tracers at night
I am currently in the navy as a fire controlman (in charge of the weapons systems and radars systems attached to them) as a spy tech and I truly believe the strongest weapon we have is the CWIS and the best thing we have as far as defense and offense support is the AEGIS Spy system (a little biased because that is my system) it’s range is crazy and support all the systems we got! Highly recommend you lookin into those things if wanna see the true gravity of our superiority 😮💨. Great video!!!
I bet the laser system is a great counter to hypersonic missiles. Get some solid satellite tracking, some precise coordinates and let a ship respond automatically to such things.
What the US tells everyone it has was stuff that entered deployment 20 years ago, for the most part. If something new entered deployment, it means it's replacement is already being tested or operational in the dark money budget.
I literally just watched this program 15 minutes ago, on Gen DIY Commandos channel. He's a retired Royal Marine like you. Like I said to him among other stuff, as long as russia, china, and north Korea don't hit us at the same time, we would do well. As long as they don't drop a nuke on the fleet.
I believe they are saying that the missile can check out it's target before impacting it, send data and analysis back to the launch platform (i.e. the carrier or aircraft) and be instructed to hit a different target is that one is already destroyed.
I live and worked in Wichita Kansas (aircraft capital of the world) many of those years in aerospace what is known isn't always shown, I'm still praying we can't shoot down ICBMS, but pucken gotta throw the first punch.
The unmanned helicopter is called the firescout....mq8. It is awesome ...it can fly a whole mission without operator input... I was a drone pilot in the army and some of our capabilities were absolutely astonishing
Funniest thing about this .... The world seems to think America is lying and bluffing about our numbers. If they see the proof they'd think twice before trying to push buttons 🤣
Honestly, the Aegis / SM3 combo shooting down ICBMs is the most awesome thing about it. I remember when SDI was labelled "Star Wars" with derision as a pipe-dream. Now its reality. :-)
LOL. You were talking about the tracers ricocheting off the water. I was Rapid Deployment "FIST" and one day the 100th Armored cavalry showed up on the OP I was stuck on. They let my partner and I rip off a belt of .50 Cal ammo out of the turret machine gun. We were doing the same thing, but we were shooting up a road, watching the orange ricochets going up into the air. Those Cav guys were awesome. They taught us to drive the tank. We were blowing donuts all over the side of the OP. The. shit you can do when Brass isn't around.
That is called a "touch and go". Pilots do them when getting their flying hours in. It simulates both a landing and take off. They can do many in a row to get their hours in and keeps them from having to stop and start the engine. More efficient to do touch and go's than to do actual complete take offs and landings.
Speaking of North Korea, I'd highly recommend playing Homefront: The Revolution. It's a game based in a dystopian future in Philadelphia, in an alternate timeline where North Korea becomes an international powerhouse and successfully invades America.
@@nathanielalaburgDelhi That's the joy of fiction though. Sure, it's an unrealistic scenario, but that's the fun with fictional stories. The way the story goes about the American takeover is also pretty impressive too
@6:10 it's a phalanx ciws ( close in weapon system). A few countries have Thier own versions of it, I can't remember if the royal navy uses this one or the Dutch goalkeeper. Israel and Russia also have Thier own versions.
The Virginia Class SSNs absolutely ARE a bargain! One well-handled Virginia could sink the entire Red Chinese, or, North Korean fleets without breaking a sweat. They are, without a doubt, the deadliest, quietest boats sailing the seas. In fact, it is said that a Virginia Class at 20 knots is quieter than a Los Angeles Class tied up at it's berth.
The plan that did a touching them it was practicing for aircraft carriers so if you miss the tripwire you take off right away and you won't go in the water
people forget too, our marines have jets and helicopters plus the airforce lol and honestly I think we send out our National Guard too which also have ships and helicopters plus our Navy, we have a shit ton of air and water help lol
For comparison allthough technologicly different. Simply put an interesting fact; Germany built 1,162 U-boats during World War II and 785 were destroyed by the end of the war. The remaining 377 U-boats were surrendered (or scuttled by the Germans). In contrast, U-boats sank about 3,000 Allied ships (merchant ships and warships).
You can not shoot people with the laser. We have a treaty that says you can not shoot at people with a 50 cal or above. You can shoot equipment . A helmet is equipment and so is a web belt as well as any guns you are carrying.
Why did he bounce and crack on?? he is performing FCLP's or Field Carrier Landing Practice. he is making an approach and touch and go as if he were landing on a carrier. Its just a way to keep the pilot up to speed on carrier landings without going to the carrier itself.
Just poison all the Sailors, problem solved. Like they said in Starship Troopers, you cannot push a button without hands. You can only bang your head once or twice. Plus with no fuel and logistics most of the fleet is useless.
❤Unmanned aircrafts and weapons? Wow, heh!😂 Incredible!😊Love it all! America is untouchable! Keep it up America! I'm so glad I'm safe in the US!!!😊 Wow! So impressed! Amazing! Love those Fighter Jets, etc. It's so Crazy!😂 Awesome video!❤
Good video, except the subject-video's volume needed to be cranked up noticeably! The fighter that 'landed' briefly and then immediately took off again ... that's called a 'touch-n-go'; it's a practice maneuver, used for practicing various scenarios.
There is the Air Force, The Navy have their own aircraft, to does the Marines and the United States Coast Guard, Just for fun the Marines Corp is larger than the entire UK armed force combined. There are 12 nuclear carriers in the world all American except one French carrier.
You really need to turn your review video volume up. Over the past 4 videos I've watched, it's a flat out strain to hear what the video is telling you as you're reacting. Your volume is easily 3 x the volume of the video you're playing. Just thought you'd like to know. Don't turn down your volume, but crank it up a few notches on the video you're playing. Outside of that, love your takes on your reaction videos, keep it coming. Love hearing how our brothers across the pond see our military, among other things.
5:39 i dont know why they would down grade it to this, in WW2 you had cannons as big as a house. multiple awesome ships with massive cannons like the IJN Yamato, USS Iowa, KMS Tirpitz and many others. the only thing i like about the new ships are the missles (this is just my opinion)
Most of the information is already Declassified so if our enemies wanted to read up on some of our weaponry and vehicles they can already do that it's the electronic warfare and radar systems that are mostly a close guarded Secret in certain aspects

Good thing you recorded that video. That account looks like it has been deleted or censored! I tried the link you provided but it is no good now.
The bit about the F-18 "bounce and cracking on" looks like what we call "touch and go" where the pilot just touches down and takes off.
@6:10 it's a phalanx ciws ( close in weapon system). A few countries have Thier own versions of it, I can't remember if the royal navy uses this one or the Dutch goalkeeper. Israel and Russia also have Thier own versions.
Nothing like hearing 20mm rounds coming out at 4500 rounds per minute. The CIWS is both scary and awe inspiring to witness in person.
The Virginia Class SSNs absolutely ARE a bargain! One well-handled Virginia could sink the entire Red Chinese, or, North Korean fleets without breaking a sweat. They are, without a doubt, the deadliest, quietest boats sailing the seas. In fact, it is said that a Virginia Class at 20 knots is quieter than a Los Angeles Class tied up at it's berth.
The 3 most powerful Air Forces in the world are as follows:
United States Air Force
United States Navy
United States Marine Crops
The plan that did a touching them it was practicing for aircraft carriers so if you miss the tripwire you take off right away and you won't go in the water
The "bounce" is practice for touch-and-go on an aircraft carrier.
Also if you have to get 50 flights a month to keep up your quals each "touchdown" counts as one.
The big disadvantage of lasers they didn't mention. Lasers are line of sight weapons, and are limited because of this.
You should take a closer look at the Phalanx weapon system.
My guess is they only tell you about class 2-3 and higher but hide class 1weapons from public info
people forget too, our marines have jets and helicopters plus the airforce lol and honestly I think we send out our National Guard too which also have ships and helicopters plus our Navy, we have a shit ton of air and water help lol
Wow, volume disparity is crazy.
Great content!
You wouldn't just save on missiles but think of storage space you would save on the boat and logistics of getting them to the boat.
For comparison allthough technologicly different. Simply put an interesting fact; Germany built 1,162 U-boats during World War II and 785 were destroyed by the end of the war. The remaining 377 U-boats were surrendered (or scuttled by the Germans). In contrast, U-boats sank about 3,000 Allied ships (merchant ships and warships).
You can not shoot people with the laser. We have a treaty that says you can not shoot at people with a 50 cal or above. You can shoot equipment . A helmet is equipment and so is a web belt as well as any guns you are carrying.
Why did he bounce and crack on?? he is performing FCLP's or Field Carrier Landing Practice. he is making an approach and touch and go as if he were landing on a carrier. Its just a way to keep the pilot up to speed on carrier landings without going to the carrier itself.
Just poison all the Sailors, problem solved.
Like they said in Starship Troopers, you cannot push a button without hands. You can only bang your head once or twice.
Plus with no fuel and logistics most of the fleet is useless.
❤Unmanned aircrafts and weapons? Wow, heh!😂 Incredible!😊Love it all! America is untouchable! Keep it up America! I'm so glad I'm safe in the US!!!😊 Wow! So impressed! Amazing! Love those Fighter Jets, etc. It's so Crazy!😂 Awesome video!❤
Good video, except the subject-video's volume needed to be cranked up noticeably!
The fighter that 'landed' briefly and then immediately took off again ... that's called a 'touch-n-go'; it's a practice maneuver, used for practicing various scenarios.
There is the Air Force, The Navy have their own aircraft, to does the Marines and the United States Coast Guard, Just for fun the Marines Corp is larger than the entire UK armed force combined. There are 12 nuclear carriers in the world all American except one French carrier.
Question: What made you join the military/enjoy military related topics?
The growlers can jam IED's (so they can't be phoned in) I think that was the 3rd thing he was eluding to among other things
Love this type of content. Thank you
@4:30 he doesn't mention it but the Burke's have either 90 or 96 of those launch cells.
The AV guys weren’t firing all at once Of course, there was about 20 at a time in groups of four
This is all the things everyone knows we have, what about the things we don't know about.
You really need to turn your review video volume up. Over the past 4 videos I've watched, it's a flat out strain to hear what the video is telling you as you're reacting. Your volume is easily 3 x the volume of the video you're playing. Just thought you'd like to know. Don't turn down your volume, but crank it up a few notches on the video you're playing. Outside of that, love your takes on your reaction videos, keep it coming. Love hearing how our brothers across the pond see our military, among other things.
Turn up the volume of your videos
5:39 i dont know why they would down grade it to this, in WW2 you had cannons as big as a house.
multiple awesome ships with massive cannons like the IJN Yamato, USS Iowa, KMS Tirpitz and many others.
the only thing i like about the new ships are the missles
(this is just my opinion)
cannons have kinda become obsolete in todays military as missiles are just so much more effective and have a much further range
Cannons are old obsolete and inacurate only way those things can make a comeback is if they made laser and railgun cannons
loving the often military videos
Phalanx is a 30mm gatling gun, the same gun as the A-10 Warthog.
Luv ur video but please up the volume to match yourself at least... Would make it perfect!
Most of the information is already Declassified so if our enemies wanted to read up on some of our weaponry and vehicles they can already do that it's the electronic warfare and radar systems that are mostly a close guarded Secret in certain aspects
