      I live next to an RAF base in next County (Hereford, home of the SAS!) and we occasionally see Typhoon's, helicopters and other military planes flying over our County, they really are impressive and put the fear of God into you, so loud you can feel their power in your body and so incredibly fast! It must be truly terrifying to have a fleet of these coming attacking your country!! When I was in Gibraltar some years back, I saw a couple of Typhoon's parked up at the tiny civi airport which also is used as a mini RAF base lol. Was great to see them so close up getting off the plane. Over the other side of the 'Rock' is also a giant military naval base with some very impressive destroyer ships from UK and US lined up and you get a very good view from the Rock on the naval base which is enormous like a town fenced off.

      They are such agile planes and the pilots are incredible flying at speeds up to 2,000mph and making those turns and sudden upward flights the G-force is tremendous and they need oxygen. I remember seeing someone taken in one for a demonstration and sick all over the cockpit he just couldn't handle it lol.

      @@paullangton-rogers2390 Yep, seen a video explaining how it feels flying a Yak aerobatic plane, the first time. These planes are so responsive, that each tiny movement of the stick results in high G-forces. Such planes are violent, for real. When such planes have several dangerous things-you-should-never-do, things get nasty. Example? There's a fast bomber that starts a spin when you push the stick. Flying low in the mountains, going up is no problem, but going down you MUST roll over and fly inverted. High speed, very very low altitude, and when terrain gets sketchy, well, fly upside down. Some planes are not pilot friendly at all. Think about the vintage single prop fighters, these things did not want to take off in a straight line, full throttle means trouble. So weird they did not install two counter-rotating props, solving these high power prop problems. No, hundreds of pilots died simply during take off and landing, thanks to that "marvelous" plane. What, marvelous?! And that is the challenge, staying in control.

      Once I start talking about air superiority fighters, I tend to ramble on a little, lol.
      F-15's may be old, but they were ahead of their time so it makes sense they'd still have that "don't mess with me effect." It's quite a jump from the MD F-4 Phantom that was it's main predecessor, originally appearing in the late 50's and in later variants through the 90's. Not to dump on F-4's, however. F-4's were big, tough, and fast, but not as agile and originally didn't have internal guns, just missiles. In Vietnam, it cost the US pilots not having internal guns if missiles failed and a dogfight broke out with MiG-17's, MiG-19's, and MiG-21's. US pilots still had superior training which still kept the kill ratio in their favor, along with great support aircraft and smaller fighters.

      Edit: Also, reminds me that cars used to be very angular, before, now they are all rond as they can be. I think it's related, like the advancing design of a F1 car.

      @@JohnGone-wl8uo Your 'dissing' of the Typoon is overblown. While its origin is a bit dated (mid 1990's), compared to the F-35 it costs less, has a substantially higher top speed, especially when loaded with it full complement of weapons, has a lower wing loading (which translates into greater agility), and may even have a higher weapons payload. It can carry 6 missiles and 6 bombs. It can take off even when the combined weight of fuel and weapons exceeds 28,000 lbs, which more than doubles the empty weight of the aircraft. I believe Lockheed's F-35 is generally superior, but not always. Don't get carried away with dissing other aircraft.

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@JohnGone-wl8uo You'd provide a stronger argument if you skipped the personal, derisive comments. You got so carried away that your sentence about 'lightweight loser's weapons load' is disjointed. After reading the sentences which follow, I'm able to reply to your points.
      1) The U.S. is testing lasers for use on jet fighters and has optimistically suggested a 20kW laser might begin to be incorporated by 2025. IF that happens (a big IF), that could be a game changer. What has been demonstrated so far is that a stable, ground based laser can down a fairly slow moving target after a number seconds of continued targeting.
      That's impressive. But it is a MAJOR and yet unproven extrapolation that it could do the same against a high speed missile, with the laser mounted on a high speed jet, both in turbulent air, with clouds, high humidity (which greatly attenuates laser power), etc.
      In the early '90's, I worked in the defense industry and saw photographs of lasers fired at objects 8 miles away (non moving laser, non moving target) - If I extrapolate what has developed in the ~30 years since to where we appear to be today, it's debatable if lasers will be on the F-35 in the next few years.
      But if they are, a more realistic objective would be for the laser to partially blind the missile's infrared tracking system. But even just maintaining a laser beam on a small missile moving at Mach 3 to Mach 6, all while the jet is being buffeted by winds, and the missile obscured by clouds and atmospheric distortions, is a PHENOMENAL challenge.
      At any rate, your inclusion of a product that's years away from even being incorporated, let alone proven in real world combat situations is NOT (currently) a persuasive argument against the Typhoon.
      2) Mach 17??? The hypersonic glide missiles in development currently have no relevance as neither the Typhoon nor the F-35 have the payload capacity for these large missiles. The only fighter we have that has the been configure to carry and test this is the newer variant of the F-15.
      3) IBCS (Integrated Battle Command System) Yes, the U.S. and companies like Northrop-Grumman and Raytheon are leading its development. But we work with our allies and (presumably) will share this communications capability. If so, the Europeans should be free decide whether to retrofit their older aircraft or only incorporate it into new ones.
      4) Vertical landing - The lack of vertical landing is NOT essential for ALL missions. Where it is, the F-35B is indeed the only game in town. However, the Typhoon can take off from shorter runways than the F-35A. So the vertical landing argument is mission specific.
      5) Communicate with an F-15EX? I don't know. Do YOU know. If you do, elaborate on it. As with IBCS, the U.S. military certainly has the capacity to drive this communications standard to be adopted by our allies and know the strategic value in doing so.
      5) Flown remotely? While it has been proposed, I've yet to see that it has been done with an F-35. Unless you can establish that it not only has been proven, but is being incorporated as an option in battle, this is just another one of your hypotheticals (like the laser).
      6) Targeting objects using remote assets. This was done well before the F-35 entry into combat, during our fighting with the Taliban. One example is the canon fired 'Excalibur' shell, a newer one is the 'Copperhead'. Even verbal listing of GPS coordinates suffice to then allow for terminal guidance to the precise target. However, I'm sure that many advances have been made in this area. It's our military's option whether of not to share communications with our allies.
      7) 'Panther' Really?? That was the name given to the Grumman F-9F in the late 1940's. I guess old is the new 'new'.
      Based on your derisive comments, you're taking this WAY too personal. I like the F-35 and acknowledge it has the best combination of 'sensor fusion', communications, and stealth. My point is simply that the F-35 is not EVERYBODY's best solution, and for ALL combat situations. I don't subscribe to your premise that their military analysts must be stupid when their purchase evaluations/priorities don't match yours.
      An argument about the F-35's superiority in ALL situations totally fails when the F-35 is touted as a replacement for the A-10 for close air support. The A-10:
      - Can loiter for HOURS
      - Has a GIANT 30mm cannon with 1200 rounds of amor piercing munitions
      - It has ~11 hardpoints for carrying missiles and other munitions
      - Is built so tough that it's impervious to small arms fire
      - Has a TRIPLE redundant flight control system
      - Has a titanium armored pilot cockpit
      - Has an armored fuel tank that is also self sealing if punctured
      - Has TWO engines
      - Both engines are designed for low speed, high efficiency and SUPER tough
      - Has an airframe that's so tough that it has flown back to base with parts of its wing blown off by missile strikes.
      - Is so imposing that just the sustained presence of a loitering A-10 has suppressed enemy fire.

      It was designed for when the Cold War became a hot war in Europe, supporting ground troops, operating from improvised runways like roads or even clearings in forests. Takeoff weight = plane + crew + fuel + bomb/weaponload. So if it was very close to the front line it would carry weapons and not fuel so still could take off vertically.

Needless to say I almost SMSelf trying to get the hell out of way. The next day two of the pilots spotted my truck and came over.

    Great video .. lot of amazing planes. Whilst it is fun to theoretically compare which plane is better than the other, you've got to remember two things. 1) Warplanes are designed for specific roles, sometimes VERY specific roles, and 2) necessity is the mother of innovation; i.e. you sometimes just have to fight with what you have. Great example .. the Harrier. It was initially designed for a very specific Cold War purpose - i.e. a plane that could take off and land from a field or patch of tarmac in Germany and get to the front line rapidly to support ground troops. Initially shunned by the RAF because it wasn't sexy supersonic, it was later repurposed as the Sea Harrier when the UK decided it couldn't afford to build a new large Carrier with catapults and built two amphibious assault ships with ramps instead. The Sea Harrier then essentially won the Falkands War for the UK by shooting down 21 supersonic Dassault Entendards and Mirages (theoretically far superior dogfighting planes flown by good pilots) for ZERO losses - which I think is the most amazing air combat story ever.

Wasn’t its development radically altered in response to the Fox Bats before we realized it was a shit plane? However, why you’re only partially right is because the F15 was considered a compromise by the Fighter Mafia, which wanted it much lighter. However, one or more of the branches wanted it to be a plane with the speed to enter enemy territory and payload capacity to drop nukes on enemy territory. One of the reasons was, as I mentioned before, that when it was under development we were not yet fully confident in our ICBMs to deliver MAD level strikes. The fighter mafia wanted the F15 to be something like the size and weight of the F16.
