I am your 500th liker Congrats on 500likes And yeah I was wth, cuz I started realizing they actually started to look like wings It's called Angel of death for a reason
@@nefarioulyte9996 I see so how many time can the flare be deployed for ? 4-5 ? At that rate of consumption a 1000 would be consumed by the 3rd or 4th time.
The Ac-130 and A400M have a flare system that has various phases, in this case the A400M was using the flares at maximum while the Ac 130 was using them at minimum, I hope it can help
@@HachiViper well yes but not all aircraft are multi-phase, in fact some have a fixed phase and must receive modifications from the ground crew to change
@@piccoloroma9726just like the Russian A-50 a couple of days ago. Need I remind you that it was shot down by a MANPAD which was operated by a guerilla. Yeah, your shilka ain't doing shit.
I mean when you're the size of a skyscraper, you dont want that missile to hit you so u gotta make a whole ahh forcefield of decoys to throw that missile off course 😂
Fun fact: When the A400M or the AC-130/C-130 deploys chaff or flares it forms an angel like shape which is why they call it the angel of death. Edit: It also looks pretty.
The AC-130 should have the A-400's flare system since the flares on the A-400 look like an angel, and a nickname for the AC-130 is "The Angel Of Death"
The flare system is actually automated now. It will actually, strategically wait and as the plane turns or dips, it will fire the flares, and then the plane will conceal itself behind the flares so, if it banks hard left the flares on the left rear and the left lower, depending on whether or not, it’s rising or falling, will flare, as it turns, so that the plane is behind the flares and from what I understand it has somewhere between 3 to 4 salvos on each bank. But if they’re carrying friends, who’s not made it home, they will do a full Valkyrie spread. It’s completely massive.
@@dederpitus5649nope. Since man-pads can be carried by four men allowing to have 6 shots. The A400M is screwed already. Also let alone the IRCCM on the modern man-pads are superb even if you drop that large amount of countermeasures.
@ Manpads are designed to be cheap and do not have super duper seekers in them. Most manpads can be flared off with only a couple of flares. The flare jettison of the A400M could easily fool 100 manpads all at once.
Imagine there is only 1 ground rocket, but 1000 flares are fired Edit:WTH ITWAS 2 MONTHS AGO, THAT'S NOT THAT MUCH AND I'VE BEAT MY LIMIT OF MY LIKE HIGHSCORE
I mean... I would rather fire of flares for 5k maybe 10k absolute max and have the aircraft survive... it probably costs more to run an airplane like this for an hour in the sky, than the cost of the flares...
ac130 is meant to mostly reppel missles from ground SAM batteries, while the a400 has to reppel the missles from a chunky boy anywhere any time from any direction.
On a devant nous de vrai connaisseurs…👎 croyez moi que même le hercule modernisé est bien moins efficace et ergonomique que l’a400 m. Et je peux vous dire que j’ai du vécu
For those who dont know what is this:- When an air missile is chasing an aircraft, it detects the enemy's engine's heat to chase and destroy it. Thus for defending from this type of attack, this flares in large amount are sent to the surrounding air of the aircraft and it generate same heat to that of the engine thus confusing the coming missile.
@@Marker_PliersLookie here, "silly goose". Notice how the "Flares" of the A400M have only a second of burntime. That won't save you from an IR missile. It is deploying Chaff. You can clearly see the metal strips.
They both can look the same when they fire off their chaff and flares at the same time that’s why the AC-130 is called the angel of death because it got 2-4 guns and when it fires off it looks like angel wings and the C-130 was just flares in this
The AC-130J is a highly advanced gunship aircraft, designed for close air support, air interdiction, and armed reconnaissance missions. It is also commonly known as the Ghostrider and is operated by the United States Air Force. The aircraft is a modified version of the C-130J transport aircraft and has been in service since 2017. In this essay, we will delve into the history, design, and capabilities of the AC-130J gunship. The history of the AC-130J gunship can be traced back to the Vietnam War when the United States Air Force began using modified C-130 Hercules aircraft for close air support operations. The first AC-130 gunship was introduced in 1968 and was used extensively during the Vietnam War. Over the years, the aircraft has undergone numerous upgrades and modifications, and the AC-130J is the latest iteration of this venerable gunship. The AC-130J is a highly versatile aircraft that is capable of carrying out a wide range of missions. The aircraft is equipped with a sophisticated array of sensors and weapons, including 30mm and 105mm cannons, precision-guided munitions, and a 30mm GAU-23/A cannon. It is also equipped with a state-of-the-art sensor suite that can detect and track targets at long ranges, even in adverse weather conditions. The design of the AC-130J is based on the C-130J Hercules transport aircraft, but it has been extensively modified to suit its close air support role. The aircraft features a variety of modifications, including a redesigned cockpit, upgraded engines, and a reinforced airframe. It also features an advanced defensive suite that includes a radar warning receiver, a missile warning system, and a chaff and flare dispenser. The AC-130J is operated by a crew of 13, including pilots, navigators, and gunners. The crew is highly trained and experienced, and they work together to coordinate the aircraft's sensors and weapons systems to achieve the mission objectives. The aircraft is capable of operating at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet and can fly for up to 20 hours without refueling. In conclusion, the AC-130J gunship is a highly advanced aircraft that is capable of carrying out a wide range of missions. It is equipped with a sophisticated array of sensors and weapons and is operated by a highly trained and experienced crew. The aircraft is a testament to the United States Air Force's commitment to developing cutting-edge technology to support its missions around the world
@@nathanielb5781I asked, and let the man make multiple paragraphs I keep seeing people saying “who asked?” On paragraphs, enjoy the time they put in their time in it instead of shitting on them.
@@Instance69420 it’s not that he put it in, it’s just a video of some planes but this dude over here writing a whole documentary but that’s all him if he wants to do that
The differences between Flares and Chaff Flare: used to prevent missiles from hitting a plane Chaff: this is to prevent the missile from locking on to the plane only for a few seconds. However if the missile is fired and the chaff is deployed it wont stop the missile
@@MooseVR okay, you still haven’t explained in a clear way why flares are better and anyways in every other way the a400m is better, with a faster cruise speed, larger cargo bay, capable of lifting heavier cargo and a higher service ceiling. Fact is, the a400m exceeds the c130 in almost all departments. Besides, the atlas also uses flares. Why do you think the RAF has retired their c130s?
@@RealTojo090 well A, flares were never better than chaff they have separate jobs. Thought you would know that lol 😂. And B, I Will wait for you to make the A400M a Gunship and EW aircraft. We have a much better cargo aircraft than you, it’s called the C-17A Globemaster III and has everything your atlas can do but better with more features.
