"Why do you need bombers"
"Airman, see that military base?"
"Yes sir."
"I don't want to."
American tactics in a nutshell. Nice pfp
Life the A10 joke lmao BRRRTTTTT
lol
Truth bomb on target.
What base?
In its entire service life to present, the B2 has never been detected or fired upon. Not once. That's enough proof for me! Lol
i highly doubt it would be able to make it to Beijing or Moscow without being detected. it mostly flies over 3rd world countries with low quality radar systems and no dog fighting jets patrolling the skies.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem they are constantly tested with our own radars. And radars of allies, first world countries like Germany England France etc, they still pass the test.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem Id highly doubt they would want to fly a bomber over Moscow anyway!
Man i love working on this jet for a living 💯
Most of them are based out of a base near my house in Missouri. I’ve seen training flights of 3-4 of them at a time flying overhead, without prior notice.
So they HAVE been detected before 😏😉
(Obviously messing around.)
“Is that one of those planes that can refuel in the air?”
Uuuhhh in merica I think that’s all of em
Glad someone said it, I just sat there for a min like..... "does he not know we can do that with almost anything in the air?"
No lies detected. A lot of our large Helicopters can midair refuel as well
Lol, it not like we take all of our planes across oceans on a single tank of gas. All of war planes and helicopters mid-air refuel.
Yeehah
Even the tanker can be refueled by another one
Who else feels bad about skipping the shoutouts simply because he’s the only TH-camr who does it :(
Don’t change, man.
Yeah same. I’m not getting a shoutout anytime soon so I just skip but it’s really cool that he pays attention and remembers names
i think it’s a foolproof way for him to make videos longer to get more money from ads, while making it seem like he’s shouting ppl out. kinda genius
Gantho he doesn’t get money for ads or anything because the video he watches isn’t his so they get money for the views and adds not him. Supposedly
I don’t skip ever lol
I actually really enjoy his commentary on the diversity of American names and different states...it’s hilarious
Artur: Why need bombers when everyone has good AA?
America: To destroy that AA and strategic targets so normal bombers can rain hell from the skies..
That, and IF satellite systems were destroyed or interfered, we would have a redundancy to target enemy systems. You need to be able to fight without GPS. Certainly an advantage, but a possible scenario
You should also consider another critical factor: bombers can be RECALLED -- ICBMs can not. This means you can use bombers to threaten enemies by flying close to their borders, as the U.S. did to the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis, scaring Kruschev and the Politburo. Obviously, too, it's critical to be able to call off an attack in case of mistake. Also, REUSABILITY -- once a missile has been fired, it is gone and no longer a useful weapon or deterrent. Bombers can be brought back and reloaded. There are also other factors such as flexibility in weapons choice, cost, electronic intelligence gathering, and probably other factors.
And, as Foster McCash mentions in his comment, the element of surprise.
yes
Also America: Because nukes
React to the SR-71 Blackbird and the SR-71 Blackbird LA speed story.
SR-71 Blackbird. its funny how even usa can't match this aircraft with modern technology all new prototypes end up failing if you can't beat anti air just fly higher than it.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAa
The plane that flew from Paris to The US and arrived before it left.
It was originally known as the RS-71 Blackbird, but because of error during live press they started calling it the SR-71 Blackbird.

The B2 is almost invisible to radar (I've read somewhere that its radar-echo is similar to a large bird), the underside has a special coloring, matching the night-sky - that also why they "usually" attack at night, being near undetectable.
Their missions in Iraq were usually to destroy AA-locations to enable allied airforces gain air superiority
It's actually the size of a bee
@@vFAITHv87 this
They also have many parts covered in gold.
It's the size of a bee on radar. 0.0001
"You can shoot it down using planes, can't you?" You can, but you have to find it first. Odds are, it would already have dropped its payload and left the area before the opposing planes would even have a chance to scramble. That's also assuming the air fields weren't one of the first targets to establish air superiority.
You'd also need to like aim by hand since all of the ways to use automated targeted are already unable to see t.
Another factor the video didn't really cover was it typically only flies over enemy territory at night. Which not only makes it hard for radar to detect but very hard to see with your eyes, and it is also designed to have as low as possible heat signature making even infrared not very useful against it.
The day time footage is from when it's over friendly skies.
@@nochannel1q2321 theres this crazy thing on every fighter jet called a gun, its super cool. ok so what it does is it shoots from the front of the jet and is controlled by the pilot, crazy right.
@@NoHope_ You can shoot at matte black at night accurately without having been alerted there's a plane to attack?
@@NoHope_ Right, but even then it relies on radar or visual ID, neither of which are likely to identify and target the B2 before it has already completed its mission and is well on it way back to friendly airspace.
Imagine how many UFO sightings this thing was responsible for during development and testing.
Definitely alot and considering how quiet it actually is in person, it would seem like something otherworldly to the ignorant eye. Besides the fact that it has green and red collision lights. Frankly, you'd have to be a moron to not notice the blinking collision lights and think it's a flying saucer. This is always my argument when people try to say a UFO is some secret aircraft. If it is, it'll still have blinking collision lights. If you really think about it, planes like this are tested at remote sites such as Area 51... meaning no one is around to even view it as a UFO. Secret military projects like this don't go testing their aircraft over the Las Vegas sky for everyone to see. So that begs the question, how many people *actually* saw this and thought it was a UFO compared to how many people see something that is absolutely unexplainable and that cannot be solved by our current understanding of physics and military tech?
my uncle worked on the stealth fighter night vision in the 1980s. he was a optical physicist. he had high level security. currently works in the private sector but told me about the hand scanners he used to go to work when i was a kid. It wasn't until i heard the Bob Lezar story that i mentioned it to him cuz he talked about these hand scanners. He basically confirmed that hand scanner was 100% real and used in several laboratories he worked in. He also heard the same rumors about trying to reverse engineer alien tech and having UFOs in possession. This is water cooler rumors from top security level scientists all working on the stealth fighter. My uncle is a smart guy and not the kind of guy who is into nonsense. Take it how you want.
@@dubstylee , the mystery of Area 51.
when i was small me and my brothers spotted one hovering through my neighborhood and its super quite and it was super low to the ground barely noticed it. I thought it was a UFO for years.

Me: "Thats what she said"
"What is the reason to have bombers? We don't do strategic bombing anymore"
Well, I'll put it this way...
(There is a platoon on the ground that knows there is a group of baddies up on a hill near them.)
"B2 Bomber, B2 Bomber, this is Leg Infantry 6"
"Go ahead Leg Infantry 6"
'B2, You see that Baddie camp on that hill 4 clicks to my east?"
"Roger, Leg 6"
"I don't want to, B2"
"Understood, Leg 6"
(Big boom, and no more hill)
but anti-air and air superiority fighter jets
@@iliilil5761 true but the B2 was built to be invisible to radar so if the anti-air and new fighters still use radar to track and lock-on to its target they would end up having to fire L.O.S (Line of sight) and hope they hit the B2 before it drops its payload on its target.
How americans terraform
@@iliilil5761
The B2 is capable of carrying 60,000 pounds worth of munitions at 50,000 feet. It has a radar cross section of 0.0001 m^2, the same as the F-22 Raptor, about the size of a bumblebee on radar. Think about that. It has never been detected during operations, and therefore never fired upon. If an air traffic controller can't see it on radar, then there's no course heading to guide fighters to.
The example you gave would be tactical bombing not strategic.

Another cool thing about the B-2, they are pretty much silent. On approach, you cannot hear them at all and after they fly over you they still make less sound than a normal jet. By the time you hear a B-2 flying over you the sound of it's engines is hidden by the bombs exploding around you. They are stealth planes in every aspect.
He gonna flip his shit when he sees the SR-71 if he thinks this thing is fast

I might as well add this video from Mustard's channel on the SR-71. I'd love to see Artur react to this one.

@Matt B r/whoooooosh
@@angeloxdmt jdam: your time has come
They used to fly over my high school football games. Because whiteman airforce base ain't too far from KC where I live. So they would do practice flights and would stop along the way at high school football games haha. Just looked like a floating death triangle in the sky, you couldn't hear it, and you didn't know it arrived. Someone would literally look up and go "oh my god the B2!" And there she'd be, gliding in the wind and being absolutely silent. It was a surreal experience every time.
The reason that the US still is using and developing stealth strategic bombers are several:
1. Bombers can be recalled, missiles can't
2. Fighters like the F-22 and F-35 have very limited range and so need airfields close to the enemy. The B-2 has a unrefueled range of about 7,000 miles allowing it long loiter times over the enemy without being tracked by enemy air defenses.
3. It carries more weapons than the B-52.
4. While it is expensive to build and operate, it is still less than all the missiles that would be needed to engage hundreds of targets.
5. The B-2 has sensors that can be related to / from other ground and aircraft sensors giving it extreme sensor fusion of the battle space.
6. All military aircraft have an additional mission of being a show of force. Trust me, after seeing the B-2 and knowing it can penetrate all enemy defenses, who would what to invite a visit by a B-2.
7. A B-2 can cover hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean delivering pinpoint accuracy against enemy ships without being detected.
That's just a starter list.

B-2 Spirit: Most advanced stealth, heavy strategic bomber to ever fly.
Artur Rehi: It looks like a triangle.
Lol I thought the same thing. I've seen people that see that jet and not only don't know what it is, but don't even know that it even exists. From what I understand it is an absolute engineering marvel. They apparently went through multiple designs before settling in what we see here. Also, with this being a relatively older plane, what classified aircraft these days are sitting in a hangar in the desert somewhere? The newest aircraft I would imagine will be space faring vehicles
Lucas Smith b-21 is our replacement

@@theredpillneo2296 that one is actually a generation or 2 behind...
The B-2’s are going to be retired because I believe they confirmed the testing and eventual launch of its replacement, the B-21.

Here's the link:

Bombers cost the same as long range ICBMs, however Bombers are reusable while ICBMs are not.
The reason that the top speed is subsonic is to avoid creating a large heat signature due to supersonic flight.
Ther ya go ! Faster isn't always better.

When they are talking about "in 1949," they're talking about the YB-49, and are referring to the flying wing concept, which was first conceptualised in the first half of the 20th century. The B-2 is by far the most well known example of this type of airframe, but definitely not the only one. There was actually a German WWII project involving a flying wing aircraft, the Horten Ho-229.
The B-2 is soon to be replaced by the B-21 Raider. My father was a mechanic in the 509th Bomb wing as a crew chief. He is retired now and I enjoyed your reaction.
B2 is being retired because we built an even better one: the B21
Not to mentioned its obsolete. U can track it now by simply just using doppler radar(used to track weather). U dont track the plane but u can track the air that the plane disturbed. Once its tracked it doesnt have weapons to depend. Its effective bfore used during golf war & bosnia. Iraqui Air Force called it “ghost plane”. Thats why u see in the news the Iraquis firing randomly on air bcause they cant see the bomber wit their best radar they can buy. Talking about air supremacy. US still need bomber just incase ICBMs by land or Subs. B2 can deliver more than 5-10 nukes. Its a dooms day weapon! LOL
@K9 Variety Studios I think landmines were a much bigger problem for your country.
Detecting, tracking and targeting are all very different things. You might (might) be able to detect a stealth aircraft, but that doesn't mean you can accurately track or target it. They usually use different radar bands for target and track than detection..
@K9 Variety Studios I think ethnic cleansing was your biggest problem my friend.

They attack at night in the dark. You can’t shoot down what you can’t see. Undetected by radar radar they destroy an enemy’s surface to air defenses as well as their radar tracking facilities. This leaves them blind and unable to defend against aerial attacks. They most certainly can be shot down by enemy fighters. They are invisible to enemy fighters. They can’t shoot down what they can’t find. They are also escorted by stealth fighters in enemy airspace which will handle any fighter threat. They are scheduled for retirement in 2030 because the next generation stealth bomber will be unveiled. As of today one has never been shot down in combat.
I live about 40 miles from Whiteman Airforce Base, Missouri. We get the treat of watching them fly by sometimes when they do training and test flights. Growing up, I just assumed everyone got to watch them fly. Didn't realize until I was a teenager that only we get to see them fly on the regular. They are definitely fun to watch fly, and you can always tell when they're coming because they usually fly low and they're incredibly loud. When you hear a plane coming, and it gets louder and louder until the house is shaking, everyone just thinks "must be a stealth coming". Very cool to watch.
by rockets I'm assuming he's talking about ICBM's, but the reason the plane exists alongside ICBMs is because unlike the missile, you won't know the B-2 is coming until the job is done
Also Bombers are reusable, while ICBMs are single use only. This makes bombers a better investment in the long game.

It flew over my house barely a hundred feet above the telephone poles and I never heard it or saw it. All I could see was a slightly dark outline of the B2. It isn't fast but you can't shoot what you can't see so speed doesn't matter with complete stealth. That is one badass plane. My wife has been working on the F22 Raptor for 10 years. She has worked on the B2 and the F35 Lightning.

@@olafbenedetti war thunder
those 30mm be trippin
on reason the triangle is hard to detect is that if radar hits it the reflections are sent off to the side meaning the radar system cant use the echo to tell how far away the plane is. it also really efficient since the the plane is literally a giant wing meaning more lift and less drag due to the lack of the tail rotor. the tail rotor being gone does make the plane hard to fly though as to produce yaw ( for turning left and right ) it has to use flaps on its wings to produce drag ( and depending on how the flaps are used roll is also possible ). alternatively if stealth is the main priority the engine power can be adjusted to produce yaw (adjusting the flaps can increase the radar signature).

my understanding is that when it is in flight it has the radar cross section of a medium sized bird. let alone an aircraft. it is said to be undetectable until it opens its payload doors and flies missions almost exclusively at night where it can disappear before and after doing its job. they are also quiet, i saw one in a fly over and when it was immediately above us we had yet to hear it.
We don't retire planes because there is no need for it. There is always need. We retire because we have something better. We never go backward.
I remember this thing when stationed on Guam... it’s truly spectacular!
The b2 has a radar cross section roughly the size of a seagull, that's what I find most impressive about it.
Its rounded and angled never to reflect radar straight back and it's coatings absorb more radar energy

It said it was a stealth bomber capable of penetrating deep inside enemy territory with nuclear weapons. It's triangle because of it's stealth features to deflect radar. It also can absorb radar waves. It would be flown at night. Nobody would see it. F-22 stealth fighter escorts would take down enemy fighters before they even seen them. The B-2 is built to be very quiet and dissapate heat that can be tracked. Basically, if you nuke us, you will be hit. Rockets are more detectable. It's very good at hiiting sensitive sites while enemy air defenses are still widely in operation. Use your imagination.

"Why do you have bombers when you can just shoot them down?"
This is a stealth high altitude bomber. You can't shoot it down.
It's not that simple. You really don't want to send in a stealth bomber "alone and unafraid." Throw in some terrain masking, radar jamming, and maybe some diversions elsewhere, and then you're stealth bomber will get to their targets before the enemy knows it's there.
@@ressljs th-cam.com/video/-FdKPEA17m4/w-d-xo.html
Charles Halsey it is possible though.
bro you can shoot it down, it was shoot down by the serbs and detected on the radars.
@@davidnovak4450 that was the only time it was
The whole point of the B-2 is it doesn't get detected... Therefore it can't be intercepted by fighters or shot down by AA turrets... So in the end whatever target the B-2 has explodes and the enemy are left wandering where the attack even came from
RADAR works by sending a signal out that bounces off of the target, which tells you where the target is. The B-2s composite materials and specialized paint prevent the signal from bouncing back which makes it undetectable to RADAR. Just like how ship RADAR has trouble detecting wooden boats. They actually have a metal sphere you put on a wooden boat so RADAR can detect it. The B-2 basically covers up any materials that would be detectable with materials that can't be detected.

I live next to an airport in Texas that was designed for the Concord and space shuttle. So I've seen most airforce war planes. Except the B2. One night 2 or 3 B2s refueled there at night. Luckily one passed over my house. I could tell it was a B2 because it's engines shook my house like an earth quake, so I ran outside just to hear/feel that massive beast flying over. It had no lights and I've never heard such a engine. Luckily the moonlight let me see just a massive triangle silhouette. It circled the airport two times while the other/s took off and got into formation. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
This is, indeed, a cool aircraft! You need to do a reaction video to the B1-Lancer. Blessings!
React to the B-52 Bomber, probably the most legendary bomber, and it’s so good the US is going to fly it for over 100 years
The B-52 is going to be replaced. You can only upgrade something so much before its obsolete.
@@Trve_Kvlt it will be used until 2050
@@ogexo that is the minimum that they have committed to, by 2050 they could decide to extend even longer. Some in the DoD want to pack the BUFFs full of long range missiles and fly them just out of range of danger and use them as Missile Trucks. A F-35 can select a target and fire a missile from the B-52 without having to compromise it's stealth. They want to do the same with a new F-15X.
😁
Yea I loved to see those thing in Barksdale AFB with their air shows they even all stuff it could carry laid out in front of the aircraft it was really cool
I’ve been wanting him too
With the B2, the U.S, could give any county in the world 24 hour notice that we will Bomb their capital the following night. And still be able to execute the mission, with precision accuracy and all B2s would return safely.
knock knock, it's the United States
Someone say oil????
Wrong B52's were shot down in Vietnam. And could be now. You must be poorly informed.
neth ; nethanel mas ; masters B2s, my guy. Not B52s...
@@phillynation2906 oil? What the f___k are you talking about. The US is oil independent now we produce more now than we use and are now selling the excess. Try to keep up.
Some say The B-2 bomber’s shape was inspired by the German “Horten HO 229” an experimental jet engine bomber designed by the Germans in the 1930s and early 40s. The Americans captured one of the prototypes during the final days of the war and sent it to America.
Not even close.
I lived at the end of the runway of whiteman air Force Base for years and always saw them taking off every day it was amazing to see them
Rehi: "This is the only stealth bomber. One of a kind."
US: Laughs in F-117
My old neighbor flew F-117s. I got to listen to some of his war tapes from his cockpit, one of which was him taking ground fire. That thing was so advanced for its time.
F-117 isn't technically a bomber, its a ground attack/ fighter plsne. Basically a bomber that moves better.
@@idontwantmyrealnameonhere5955 It had no guns or missiles. Only bombs. It was really a bomber.
F117 is retired
@@stimproid No, the F-117 is an attack aircraft. Not a bomber. Attack aircraft are generally shorter range aircraft specially optimized for ground attack and close air support. Bombers are always longer range, and are meant to attack high value targets, not to directly assist ground troops.
Considering it is an attacker, it should've been the A-117, not F-117. Because F usually denotes a fighter. But I'm not gonna get into semantics.
You should check out declassified nuclear test videos from the 60s they're pretty cool, we(the usa) had two artillery cannons that shot out mini nukes they were called the atomic anne and the davy crockett. in the videos you can really see the effects of a nuke on a small scale it is a sight to behold.
This is where the Fallout video game got it's inspiration for the Fat-Man weapon.
there is one on top of the hill overlooking Ft. Riley here in kansas. I live next to the fort, I drive by it all the time. pretty cool. my neighbor is an apache pilot and he buzzed the house the other day.....wayyyyy lower than 500 ft.
We had a lot more than just 2 artillery pieces that could fire nuclear munition.
It's called the Trinity project.
@@83athom , you remembering the 80's the the last line of home defense artillery nuke rounds. Sorry I don't remember the project ( battle plans) name when and if the United States get over run on U.S. soil.
Brother you keep saying you are just a ground soldier, It takes every person to make it all work. Be proud- alot of people do not have what it takes to do what we do.
I work at an at&t store and had a customer in yesterday that works for General Electric, who told me he worked on the B2’s engines when it was still in prototype. He told me there was an issue with the engines they were using and the body of the aircraft. Apparently because of the way the engines were shaped, the tail end of the aircraft bulged and it was big enough for it to lose its stealth capabilities. He said him and a handful of other guys were the ones who were able to fix the design flaw and made it work. He said he almost got called to go help with the actual project (he was only working with the engines), but a week prior to getting sent out he was told they didn’t need him. Said the engineers had been paying close attention to him and felt comfortable enough to do the changes without his help. Was a pretty cool story, real or not.
if I'm not mistaken, the Spirit has the radar cross section of a large bird making it near impossible to detect, let alone shoot down
React to the "Shock and Awe" air campaign in Iraq. No politics, just amazing to see such precise bombs and missiles in action.
And the B2 bombing Baghdad without being seen in radar. They just knew they were being blown to bits.
Iraq wasn't shock and awe. The generals who spoke of it didn't fully understand the concept. They grew up in the near Vietnam era so their doctrine was still old school. Baghdad was bombed by 2 B-1s, not a B-2. Shock and awe is not about precision munitions but is what is called "strategic paralysis". Shock and awe is the bumper sticker term for it. Shock and awe is intense simultaneously attacking all levels of a country's ability to function.
@@RonUS2009 but that's the name of the TH-cam videos and the operation. Not saying it's true shock and awe
@@thatblondeguy9566 yeah the whole thing was amazing to watch.
I’m not sure if someone already mentioned it, but the purpose of the B-2 bomber is to act as the air component of the “nuclear triad”, which are three delivery methods for nuclear weapons; launched from air (B-2 bomber), land (ICBMs), and sea (submarine/SLBMs). The nuclear triad is designed to ensure that a country can always respond to a nuclear attack with their own nuclear attack.The B-2’s stealth capabilities are still highly classified, but reportedly it has the radar cross section roughly the size of a bird, which means AA missiles can’t detect or hit it, and enemy air interceptor jets can’t find it to shoot it down.
I love the questions posed by an Estonian Army LT. about Air Force stratigies. I'd not want to be on the ground if one of these were flying overhead. Artur...you are not listening to the words. It was born in the late 40s means that is when the design was starting to be developed. It didn't fly until the 80s. That means it was being flight tested, but it wasn't put into use by the Air Force until the early 90s
this man needs to see the SR 71 its by far my favorite plane EVER !!!
Yessiiirr, i saw one in texas, such a beautifle plane
From it's engine to it's "fuel tank" it's a ridiculously innovative design. Basically the equivalent of an RPG enthusiast that happens to be an aeronautical prodigy that decides to minmax.
The blackbird is beautiful but personally I love the P-51 more, especially because they could beat the speeds of ME-262's when they came out of a dive.
Blackbird Park Palmdale CA is less than two hours from me.
I've pet the "Sled"
You send in your stealth bomber to knock out radar, communications, and command sites first then all your planes can fly freely.
I got to see these in person ...it was amazing
The B-2 is stationed in Whiteman AFB in Missouri and had performed nonstop bombing runs in Iraq, Libia, and Afghanistan. It flies over the north pole.
You need to do an Sr-71 reaction, a truly amazing plane that has been retired sadly
The B2 Spirit is meant to hit “strategic” targets, they take out the targets like, a countries power grid, bridges, and bases. We have other bombers like the B1 and the B52 that can hit troops, tanks, and lightly defended targets. The B2 is a deep penetrator bomber and goes where other bombers cannot.
Also, anything with a lot of stealth has a huge fear factor when it could literally be above you with a nuke and you would never know it.
Artur where you are making your mistake is that when you go to war you use what is available and not what you would like. We learned that hard lesson at Pearl Harbor back in 1941 where we had drastic shortages of material and most of our ships were left over from WWI. It takes 5-8 years to build a warship depending on the type and that is why we build so many things like this during peace time so we don't have to deal with all the shortages of food, ammunition, aircraft, warships, etc... As the Latin saying goes "Si vis pacem, para bellum" or in English "If you want peace, prepare for war."
Could you imagine seeing one of these things flying for the first time in the 1950s? You would absolutely think it was an alien invasion.
Artur: Why need bombers?
America : For stealth reasons
You cant recall rockets......
@@thegulfcoaststandard71 it's called self-destruct lol
Ah yes, the superfortress. One of the stealthiest bombers ever built
For the 2nd coming of our all mighty Christ 🎯🙌🏼🔥🐐👁️💨☠️💀
It is one of the nuclear triad pieces missiles subs and bombers
Guys lets have him look at the maddess that is B-1 Lancer, imagine his reaction to Supersonic stealth bomber. Especially with the new stealth cruise missiles for pacific theatre
Most of that was right. The B-1 is not a stealth aircraft, though.
Yea, that's a good idea. Supersonic aircraft which is the newest thing, just not popularized yet, are so damn fast you will be destroyed before you can even react. The only thing I can imagine to take something like that down would be some incredibly quick reacting ground to air lasers. Or even satellite based lasers. Either way I'm not worried. Not only do we know have a space force, but there are almost CERTAINLY satellite based weapons above our heads right now
he should do the b21 raider
100% not stealth lol
@@hugolionboss6355 unfortunately he can't. literally zero information has been made public on the B-21 besides it's name and the shape of it's shadow. we likely won't know anything about it for years.
The fact that this stuff was made in the 80s really makes you wonder what on earth they’re doing now
The shape and materials used to build the B-2 give it a radar signature of a medium size bird and it flies high enough to be impossible to see or hear.
17:01 - fighters (Korean, Russian...) are very fast and could take it down.
...what fighters are you talking about? The smouldering ones in the crater that used to be an airbase? Or the ones that haven't been scrambled because they didn't get warning from the crater?
Not how stealth works
I would also imagine that if the b2 is going into hot enemy territory it would have a fighter escort to protect it from enemy fighters.
@@titanmasterxd6329 ......of course .....stealth fighters.
Patrick Henry well I like I said if they were going into “hot enemy territory”, if the b2 was on a recon or stealth mission then the bomber wouldn’t and shouldn’t need to worry about enemy fighters because if the area they are bombing has a near my air base, that would be the first target.
You can't detect it except visually and they fly at night. They don't need escort. The tertiary purpose is that they enter countries blind to antiaircraft and airbases and destroy all of those. Then they can to special stuff because it's open sailing for bombers with no stealth capability at all. The F117 did this during the Persian Gulf War and I think the results speak for themselves.
Can't believe that a bomber from the late 80s is still effective, well you'll be suprised by the SR-71 Reconnaissance Jet
The B-52 is over 50 years old and still going strong.
@@stephenmanuel1120
Rolling Thunder.
The SR-71 is no longer in service.
@@aaronlayes4485 I know but there still is no Jet fighter or interceptor that could effectively catch it
@@Two-EyedShockwave hell, the strategy when missiles were fired at it was to outrun the missiles, that is once the enemy had missiles that could even reach their altitude.
I live in Indianapolis. For the 102nd Indy 500 we got to see one fly over in person, it's pretty cool to see.
The US has always taken a three-prong approach in its nuclear threat, land based, sea and bombers...at sea ships are capable but predominately submarines. I don't know if you were aware but during the first Iraqi war, seven B-52's from from Louisiana to Iraq for a bombing raid then flew back to Louisiana ..I believe it took 34hrs and over 50 air fuel reloads for each plane..set a world record
"Why do you need bombers?"
JDAMs, lots of them. Much cheaper than tons of missiles.
True
Jdams are$100,000 a piece and still need a aircraft, a drone or any plane to launch them, b2 can carrie a bunch of them
It’s all going well until you see huge triangles flying above you
*Laughs in Destiny 2*
So them triangles are coming
I live about an hour from Whiteman Air Force Base and have seen the B-2 many times and yes they look really weird, but honestly that's why I love them. Also the B-52 is still in use. My brother is in the Air Force and he works on a B-52. No he's not a pilot, aircraft maintenance.
My grandpa was the lead engineer of the design and construction of the B-2 bomber
The first Stealth Fighter, the F/A-117 Nighthawk was developed in the 1970s, and had sharp edges to it. It had the shape of an arrowhead.
The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber was developed in the 1980s. It is curved like this because the computer technology had advanced enough to calculate the correct contours of the curves to deflect radar signals. The cost was like $2B per plane.
It's successor, the B-21 is being developed now, and is more or less just an upgrade to the B-2. The most noticeable difference is that the rear of the fuselage/wing has just 3 points (2 wing tips and 1 for the rear of the fuselage). The B-2 has 5 rear points (2 wing tips, and 3 mid fuselage. There are probably several more differences that are Top Secret, of course.
But you ask why do we still need stealth bombers like this, well, ever heard of a little country called China. There's a growing chance that a war with China is on the horizon. And you can see that it can drop lots of bombs. Trust me, a Stealth Bomber is still very much needed.
The "war with China" argument is pretty much useless, as smaller fighter jets can destroy the G-A defence areas and military bases, etc. I do also agree, though, that the B-2 is a useful and cool airplane. Also, the US could just launch a few Polaris missiles. All I'm saying, is that the B2 will not be needed to bomb China.
P.S. if any war with China happens, it's probably gonna be caused by Donald Trump, and I wouldn't be surprised.
Dont forget the plane design was copied from German WW2 technology, the Horten Ho 2-29 German stealth bomber to be exact which was the first ever. Was never put into service though since they lost the war.
I was an Avionics maintainer on this thing for 4 years.... Like all cutting-edge things, it required a LOT of maintenance and a lot of effort to keep going, but if we did it right it more than payed for itself in the amount of missions it completed without anyone knowing about it 😎. Btw the high-pitched scream of its engines is something you'll never forget if anyone ever gets the privilege of seeing it take off!
I wanna see his reaction to the Littoral Combat Ship.
The didnt adopt it earlier because the aerodynamics of a flying wing are much more complex and sensitive. A tiny design problem can knock it out of the sky.
Bombers continue to be used because while an F-35 can drop bombs, etc, they cannot carry enough weight, or enough variety. Multi-role fighters are designed to suck at everything, but do a little of everything. Also, an F-35 or even 10 of them cannot destroy an entire enemy compound, which makes a dedicated bomber a good idea. Bombers can be much more accurate because they can carry guided bombs, etc. Yes, bombing runs from dedicated bombers are still done, yes they are legal. And the B-2 has a great way to avoid being attacked by ground forces, it's a stealth plane; so it has a radar signature similar to you fist, and it disperses the heat from it's own exhaust so that heat-seeking projectiles cannot pursue it. It's hard to shoot something that your tech cannot see.
And the reason that other fighters can't shoot it down is the same reason you can't hit it with a missile, if the radar never sees it, then you can't get planes in the air until it is too late.
And the reason for retiring it is that radar technology is getting better. And they are not letting it create a hole in the Air Force. The B-21 that is in development looks incredibly similar, performs the same role, it is slightly smaller, slightly faster, and even more invisible.
Usually on air to air combat you don’t use the main cannons, you use guided missiles because it gives better possibilities to the shooter that the target is going to be destroyed. But against the stealth bomber no missile can trace its heat signature because of the covering materials and cooling systems. If you put a fighter behind a B3 to shoot it the flat shape of the plane might cause the bullet to hit the armor sideways and ricochet off the target instead of penetrating it.
