Ever wondered how any given two countries would fare in a war? Or how certain weapon systems fared against each other? Or simply how missiles or stealth or anything military related actually works?
Binkov's Battlegrounds gives you those answers!

Your royals have never fought on the frontline kid so you clearly don’t understand the American language I am speaking. Americans understand me you obviously do not.
I imagine AI is very important for least important things. For example, after spent its missile payload a B2B command can be issued and the CCA would fly autonomously home, no need for someone to fly it remotely.
Jets are but a platform for utility modules and launching missiles. Thousands of CCA's? Does this mean we'll start making tens of thousands of missiles? We don't have that capability today... something's off
I like how these u.s fanboys think that a plane designed in the 70's can compare to a plane designed in the 2010's. Technology is a one way arrow my friends. Comparing the f15 to the j16 is like comparing todays iphones to those rotary phones of the 80's. You can play fanboy all you want. I'll place my bets on newer tech.
The royalist Aussie is obsessed with our royals. He rants on about how he hates boomers, yet Charles is boomer 2.0. You said you’d serve on the front if a royal told you to. Lying again?
everyone, drones are going to change everyone's lives for the worse. war? worse. daily life? worse. privacy? completely gone. freedom? what's that. safety? non-existent. anyone else find it horrifying that many companies, the government in which knows, know how to make several different types of weapons? strange how the government either knows they stopped making them or know if they try to sell them to others. very, very scary everyone
Jenkins is proud to take orders from boomers and monarchs all day. Monarchs have never ever fought on the frontline kid so it’s a given I will not be serving in military purely because the boomers, monarchs, cowards (yourself, Madoc, Bear) won’t be on the frontline either
@@DonaldMacDonald944the French grew backbone and ousted their monarch. Jealous you don’t have the courage to do the same? What are you afraid of? prince william can’t fight kid
Sooo Anduril (Aargon's sword) was founded with the help of the company Palantir (seeing stones). Just calling it now, wouldn't be surprised if the founders of Palantir help start up another LoTR named defence company, perhaps Glamdring (Gandalf's sword)?
Refuse to feed? Did you forget the US is one of the most overweight nations on Earth? We're not perfect, but not feeding our people is DEFINITELY not one of the things we're lacking on. Many of our homeless are overweight, that should tell you everything you need to know. China on the other hand has hundreds of millions of hungry people in the countryside.
Imagine: all those F16's and F18's getting closer to their end of Airframe life. Once you have AI pilots you don't need to keep flying them to train pilots . So as the F16 and even F18 fleets age, they can turn them into drones shortly before the end of airframe life and then store them like misiles. surplus can be stored in the Bone yard.
I don't believe F16 and F18 can "be stored like missiles" - Those aircraft still need lots of maintenance, even when in storage. Other countries might have a good use for them eventually (right effin now) though...
@@GrassXMagnumyep.. I agree. That said, a lot of the development on fighter AI has been on an f-16 platform. And AI f16s might be the ideal wild weasel platforms for taking out enemy air defenses
I don't think Ukraine vs Russia is very indicative of what US vs X in conventional war. Currently it's just a much more terrifying version of desert storm. Also understand that while F-35's are highly advanced, we have more of them anyone else has of any fighter of any level. You get to just stack the F- 16 numbers on that just for fun. The only thing the US is ill equipped for is knocking down cheap drones threatening our ground forces. I don't think we have good doctrine for that, but in all out war, you won't be able to get that close. I feel as though, people have forgotten what it's like to be on the wrong end of the USAF. In 2024 you are fucked. We just hid and classified most of our destruction because it's not fun or cute. It doesn't look friendly or funny as a drone dorking around Russian trenches. Theres only what is basically a small % of available footage of what that wrong end looks like. We'll be fine. The only reason a lot of the tactics were seeing are being employed is because both sides lack significant overmatch. Russia doesn't have the airforce to actually conduct US level operations, nor do they really have the training. Russia's military is centered around fighting an asymmetric war with the US and is very anti-air focused. (this is why they were using ground to air missiles to hit Ukrainian cities. Russia is basically fighting a much weaker version of itself and stumbling. The US would have dusted Ukraine faster than we did Iraq. Much faster in fact. Then we would slowly lose interest and struggle to occupy if we were seen as the enemy from occupants. Can't occupy shit against a resistant populace without daily war crimes.
@@03056932 With the support of the US Air Force one US Armoured division could crush the entire force that Russia has deployed to Ukraine, even though they would be outnumbered.
@@FireAngelOfLondonI’m not sure it would be quite that drastic, but you’re onto something here. If the Russians had invested in their Air Force just a bit more, this war would have been entirely different.
Calling it AI ( not saying this to you Binkov ) is missleading and false its actually VI as it cannot think beyond the inputted programming from the overseer were as a true AI wouldn't need an overseer as it could think as we do.
I feel like we are too focused on building small numbers of super-expensive high-end weapons. Sure, they are good, but NATO also has to focus on cheap mass production of simple stuff like small drones and artillery shells.
Artillery? Yeah, that logic is sound, you just didn’t go far enough. We should make billions of crossbows (even though they’re easily defeated). FYI, if the U.S. gets into an attritional artillery war, the war is already lost.
Agreed world war 2 taught us that quite often the cheap mass produced equipment and tanks are superior to the advanced and overly complicated devices and vehicles a good example for this is the T 34 running circles round the Tiger tanks though they were more heavily armed and armoured they lacked the speed and had too many blind spots that could be exploited not to mention mechanically they were unreliable and complicated to produce
Lol no, we have a totally different war fight doctrine than ruZzia. We use professional highly trained professional soldiers NOT conscripts. Why on earth would we invest in a bunch of mavericks when we could use ONE expensive ass electronical warfare/jamming aircraft that prevents the use of enemy drones and IEDs? There's a reason why a US led coalition destroyed the 4th largest military in the 90s in like a week. And it WASNT because we use cheap crap. This is a flawed way to look at the situation when you're already Mike Tyson punching a toddler in a conventional war. Ukraine is highly resourceful and amazing fighters but they use those methods because they can't afford enough javelins and NLAWS. They absolutely would prefer to use Javelins instead of drones, trust me. Besides look up the US program SWARM if you want to see how we've already been planning to use AI mixed with cheap drones for years now. It's terrifying.
@@Matthew-is7zsyeah, that was true in a time where war tech was all mostly the same....why do you think the US then proceeded to invest SOOOO MUCH MORE into war tech R&D than literally every other country on earth? It was so we wouldn't need to fight attritional wars won on who has the best factories and logistics (which is still the US today regardless). We are literal space aliens compared to everyone else and when partenered with NATO in its entirety...then it's just unfair to a paper tiger like China or Ruzzia
Last June I put the greater part of a thousand bucks into Boeing Stock, telling Myself “They are powerhouses in both the military and civilian aviation industries, if one falls through they’ll still be on top.” I also bought 300 bucks into Raytheon, which promptly had a deal fall through with its P&W engines being shipped to Airbus.
It makes sense the US government wants to give a company like Anduril a go. All the top 5 companies are known for overcharging the military for parts and they’re incentivised for delays and other things happening that increase their reasons to increase cost. A small company will just be happy to get their foot in the door as a military contractor and will keep their prices very low for repeat contracts.
I also think they are very suspicious of he big 5 for being compromised by chinese, russian, and iranian spy agencies. They don't want a repeat of the F35 leak.
Well they are looking at 2,400 F-35s so 200 NGADs seems reasonable. As blinkov said, more planes and drones are what the Airforce is looking at and the NGAD is going to be very expensive. Having more F-35s with CCA's will be cheaper and allow them to be stationed at more places and have more options. As well as having CCAs for F-15s. Let the CCAs spot the planes and the F-15 Missile Boat can unleash AMRAMM 240s from a long distance away. Also I think the 200 NGADs is for the airfoce alone and doesnt count towards the number the Navy will purchase when their NGAD program is done as well.
@ameritoast5174 200 with 40% undergoing maintenance at any one time. Also, the range if the F-35 WILL be its detriment. The closet the F-35 is based to the conflict the worst it will be for the US. That said, NGAD is a family of system, so maybe it will be 200 for the first generation of airforce NGAD fighter. And we will build more of gen 2. Gen 3. And different variants.
For the whole modern autonomous aerial warfare equation were missing only stealth aerostatics AA mines controlled by AI system for area air space denial
I can’t wait for the US to declassify the programme so we can see what aircraft had the potential to become the NGAD. Lockheed probably won but I always love to see the competition.
I think the aircraft generational nomenclature will continue to be muddled and is pretty worthless at this point. It's always easier to classify the past than the future, and I no longer care what aircraft makers claim what generation their new aircraft is. On a separate topic, the fact that the F15EX has a second seat could allow the aircraft to control more CCAs. I like the idea of reducing the risk of information overload for our pilots.
