Oiii oiii Margo this was something else this. Exactly, no messing about. As the pilot said in the stream “Holbeach ranger, can you give me the latest wind direction, we are gonna try and ACE this thing”
What an awesome surprise this was... we've seen strafing from jets and helicopters, but to see this in such detail... incredible! Thank you 48th FW and Tahoe flight!
Oiii oiii Arjen thank you so much. This was a real treat and the 48FW knew we were here ooohhh yeah. Nikos to a gamble and tracked the bombs all the way to impact
Supreme work by F15e from 48FW.. They blew up the joint! Bomb tracked all the way. Magic to see in incredible detail. Camera work is a Masterclass. 1st for me ever to witness Bombs to target. Brilliant 👏 Ted, Nikos you are the main Ted and Men. Top Notch. Thank you so much.
Oiii oiii Carole 🤙🏼 thank you so much. This was a first for the TCS and Nikos couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Yes, we’ve seen bombs dropped before but never at this level and especially to attempt to track them all the way to target. Thanks again
Supreme videography captured of the missiles being fired at the designated targets on the range unbelievable footage to track the missiles before impact
Bombing days at Holbeach are great value, but nothing will beat watching A-10s on low level gunning runs. Back in the day when they were based at Alconbury they were cleared stupid low and you could see them visibly decelerate as they fired short bursts from the Gatling gun. They also used to have old boats filled with concrete as targets. It took a short while for the sound to reach you and it sounded like the worlds angriest fart ever. Halcyon days…..
WOW, you’ll never see that anywhere else… What a fantastic streamThank you Nikos for bringing this to us all Please share this with everyone folks, that deserves 30K right there
Oiii oiii Davey. This is what TCS is about, footage you’ll never see anywhere else; unique and a wide range of military areas. Ooooohhh yeah. Thanks so much for your support man. Respect
Great stuff. Good filming. If they start doing this more frequently you will need to invest in a slightly more powerful lens for your camera. Thanks again.
Ooh yeah! Fantastic camera work Nikos! Keeping up with Brighty is one thing, but keeping up with Paveways, that’s something else! Well done 👍 Was the shot at the end with the 2 F15’s in close formation showing one of them avoiding a bird strike as well? Amazing
They were just changing position, the seagull is much closer to the camera than the jets, its just the angle you are seeing it from. If it was near the jets, all you would see at that range is a little white speck but it did make for a really good shot all the same.
Oiii oiii thank you so much. It’s not easy to track these all the way to the target but Nikos went for it and did it flawlessly. There seemed to be a couple of incidents that day but we think the birds were closer to us but it looked like it from our position.
Some of the best laser targeting systems in the world would even have a harder job tracking this 😜. Absolutely incredible footage, Ted & Nikos. Thank you. TCS, best military aviation Channel on the planet.
The most EPIC thing I've ever seen on a live stream! Incredible footage Nikos! I was in Ted shock! Thank you for showing us something so few will ever get a chance to see! Bombs awayy!! I love the hard bank they do after dropping them! Very intimidating! Cheers! ☁💣💣💥💥🤯
Oiii oiii thank you so much. I think it’s the most epic thing we’ve even seen live while streaming it live. Nikos took a gamble and attempted to track the bombs… he did us proud
Great coverage of bomb deployment, and the swerve at the end to avoid bird strike was Smashing. Is that pilot awareness or auto collision avoidence taking over,all round was a great video .
As perfect as you'll ever see. In amazing detail.. Right There! Centre of your screen. Top Ted of filming.. RAF / USAF exclusive cameraman. TED & Nikos filming aces of our TCS
Oiii oiiii thank you so much. This was amazing to watch too, yet alone Nikos trying to keep calm and concentrate on filming not only the aircraft but to track the bombs. Oooooooohhhh yeah
The GBU-12 Paveway II bombs are fairly price. I suspect what you are seeing are the practice bombs. The outer case and all electronics are onboard and working and instead of an explosive load it is weighted to 510 pounds with cement. The practice bombs fall at the same rate as the real ones and the laser/GPS guidance puts them right on target everytime. If those had been real, you would have heard the explosion on the camera.
Oii Oii Dale, please read description for full details. They are laser guided GBU-12 PAVEWAY II bombs but filled with concrete. The electronics are real but not the explosives
ohYEAH!!! Awesome Video today Nikos📹 Exceptional Tracking on the Bombs↘ Following a Jet Plane and keeping it Centered in Frame(at speed) is Great, but with the Same degree of Skill, tracking something leaving that plane that is about the size of 2 Pillar Boxes stacked atop each other📮(GBU-12 PAVEWAY II is 3.27 m x 273 mm) is Astounding.🤯 Cool as hell to see too🤠🖖🤓
I watched it live, that was really amazing!! I´ve never seen something like this before... Thank you for beeing there and filming this in a real professional manner, Nikos & Ted👍💪
Their targeting is better than you think! The built up island there has targets around it like a painted mesh...they don't actually aim for the sandbags as that would involve a lot of rebuilding. I walk out there quite a lot so get to see where this is all dropped.
Nope, on the footage you only see the sandbags wall, and not the targetspot on the ground ..so i think theyve hit the targetspot very well. It is not the case to hit the sandbag wall..
They are dropping them exactly where they want them to hit. The Paveway bombs here can use GPS and/or laser guidance. The target point is in front of the sandbags.
No where other than on official military channels can you get this bombs, bombs, and more bombs go Nikos and Ted go the best ever stream ever thank you for an amazing day
