THAT is why the UK has a missile sub at sea ALL THE TIME. UK may get hit first, but it will hit last...and that should protect it from getting hit at all!!

@jbx- 2 года назад

A few points: Firstly, if an imminent threat was bound for the U.K. mainland I am pretty sure intelligence would dictate assets were not deployed overseas. Second point, in addition to type 45 for air defence U.K. also has type 23 with sea Ceptor, this would contribute to negating Russian aviation or ships/submarines firing off cruise missiles. If a submarine did it would disclose its location, a ship would have a better chance but also this is to assume Russian naval vessels would be entirely offensive in projection and long range aviation would also be within SAM ranges. It is theoretically plausible for Russia to damage the U.K. with missiles as the ground based air defence network is non existent. Rapier is short range (which you forgot to mention) star streak isn’t really anti missile & only 24 sky sabre is not enough The U.K. need to collaborate with France and Italy for block 2 aster BMD. Mach 7.5 & 1,500km range. This can be couples with sky sabre and star streak for a more practical defensive suite. Russia’s only cruise missile threat to the U.K. is really from up north as the Black Sea would have to either traverse mainland Europe and NATO territory or the Mediterranean which is littered with NATO assets and U.K. has Cyprus RAF base and Gibraltar & therefore not practical for the Russians to attack this way. It could send ships around the Horn of Africa but given Russian woes logistically in Ukraine, overseas power projection isn’t their strong points. With a naval base in Portsmouth coming up south even vis submarines would be a bad move for the Russians. If the Russians came from north the U.K. could deploy 2 aircraft carriers with 12 f35 each, alongside helicopters including lynx and apache to hunt and kill ships and merlin for AEW & also anti submarine That alone would immediately put the Russian Navy on the defensive and wouldn’t be able to focus on launching cruise missiles as it would have a lot to contend with to stay afloat. The U.K. could also deploy amphibious assault ships with anti submarine warfare helicopters and every type 23/45 have their own helicopters. F35 would suppress Russian shipping even though the U.K. struggle with anti ship missiles. Martlet and brimstone would be suffice. Additionally, the astute class would be a horrific thorn in the Russian sides and also U.K. have 9 Poseidon anti ship, anti sub and reconnaissance aircraft. The carriers are built for command and control and could effectively track and engage Russian missile activity F35 and typhoon could in theory shoot down cruise missiles but would be a last resort. This video assumes we would have 1 ship or something defending north but the reality is the U.K. can effectively eliminate Russian strategic aviation by simply deploying an aircraft carrier The U.K. needs to expedite sky sabre into service ASAP, I know one is in Poland but we need more and more quickly. We need to try and expand aster with the French and Italians to build on the block1 NT as having no fixed sam system deployed nationwide is grossly negligent We need to increase r and d on lasers which will long term help negate missile effectiveness Lastly, the U.K. have announced that 26 more f35 will be bought to take the total to 74 as a minimum. Type 45 will all get an extra 26 missiles each and that will allow for more aster 30 Astute have had spear fish upgraded & this is all assuming the U.K. wouldn’t try and eliminate a Russian strike prior to them launching weather that’s offensively from GCHQ or us ourselves launching cruise missiles of which we have tomahawk and over 900 storm shawdow

@mariomezquita3492 2 года назад

Random observation (awesome video, BTW): in the event of an actual detected launch / airborne imminent threat, Typhoons and Tornadoes are permitted to go supersonic from the moment they can get airborne. If it's a 500+ pound warhead striking a nuclear power plant, or 50 people sending an email to the local council about their windows being smashed, you know who wins! (the 50 people writing sternly worded emails to their local council XD )

@mixit2413 2 года назад

when I was at school many many years ago the Raf were going supersonic all over the place but that was when concord could go supersonic over mainland britain.

@duanesamuelson2256 2 года назад

For a bit of reassurance a 500 lb conventional warhead (as opposed to a bunker buster) isn't likely to break the containment of a reactor. After 9-11 at the savanna river site it was stated that crashing a jumbo jet into the reactor wouldn't break through. Note that savanna river is not a power plant however and has a different kind of reactor.

I used to deal with those complaints when I was in the RAF. One time a farmer complained that a Tornado scared her pigs and they attacked her. She had to kill one of them with a pitch fork and was demanding payment for the pig.

@MrAvant123 2 года назад

The answer to this is simple, a mass pre-emptive strike on UK would be mostly devastating, HOWEVER we have the nuclear submarine capability to ensure all Russian cities were dust, in fact it is easier following the breakup of the Soviet union. So not a nice output for anyone but it would be MAD as was always the case with nukes. As for non-nuclear missiles how powerful do they think they are - yes they could do a lot of damage but there is only so much explosive warhead you can put on these...

@we-are-electric1445 2 года назад

@@flashgordon6670 I don't think 192 300 lb warheads is going to bring the country to its knees - assuming they all hit the target.. Looking at Russia performance un Ukraine ( assuming Russia has enough missiles left to use on us) they couldn't hit a barn door from 200 yards. By the time Russia have finished in Ukraine it won't have any missiles left - and with sanctions no way to pay for or manufacture any more. It is fair to assume some or all of the bombers would be shot down. You also have to wonder how many mechanical failures the Russian planes may have and with a 60% failure rate of missiles in Ukraine I am not going to lose any sleep over this video. I also believe the UK is using Norway or is negotiating with Norway to station some Typhoons there it is always possible none of the Russian planes or missiles get through at all . Without nuclear weapons you don't win a war from the air you have to get boots on the ground and we are so far away the Russians are never going to do that.

@craigo2656 2 года назад

If a Typhoon can carry 8 meteors (Beast mode 14) x 25 typhoons = 200 Meteors, and a Type 45 destroyer can carry 48 Asters x 2 = 96, that makes a total of 296 deployable air defence missiles?

Great Britain 'may not have enough defensive capability on its own, however Great Britain is a NATO member, and that means Russia will be attacking every member country of NATO, and will be forced to defend from the same NATO countries. At least that is my understanding of NATO’s roll.

@petec1050 2 года назад

Few thoughts. All based on a gradual escalation as opposed to immediate surprise attack. 1. The E3s are indeed retired but are still flying, I believe the aim is to keep crews trained ready for the Wedgetails entering service. I would imagine they would be put back into service if things were escalating towards an attack on the UK mainland. 2. Could crows nest Merlins not be deployed to provide additional airborne early warning 3. Sky Sabre SAMs are now in service and are network enabled. Whilst the range is relatively short they could be placed on projected flight paths of cruise missiles or around high priority targets. 4. The type 23s could also be deployed to patrol the coast and carry Sea Ceotor which is the navalised version of Sky Sabre. 5. Starstreak batteries could be placed as last ditch point defence around high priority strategic targets - much the same as Rapier was used for the games in 2012. 6. The UK as a NATO member has access to the NATI early warning network so I doubt the bombers would get close enough to fire off missiles in the first place. No doubt more money is needed for defence, I believe that’s already been requested by the MOD (increase to 3% GDP) and swiftly rejected by the treasury which is not surprising given the state of the UK economy at present.

This is simply ALL" hope & may be" really you're just guessing. Well, sadly thats not enough. If you think the UK has ANY early warning system think again, it doesn't and wont have anything. So if you want to see those that you love simply vaporised or melt before your eyes, cary on and do nothing, they would in fact be the lucky ones. Those left would have to face the horrors of Nuclear Fallout. War is simply unimaginable horror, a Nuclear War is just Unimaginable ❗️☮️

@martinwyke 2 года назад

This omits the 7th Air Defence Brigade which has just replaced their Rapiers with Sky Sabre and Star Streak defensive missile systems. One regiment has gone to Poland but at least one would still be available for the South. Also four Type 23 Frigates are based in the South and while dedicate ASW they each have 32 CAMM surface to air missiles.

@daviddoyle2085 Год назад

I think in a real life scenario british forces would prioritise key infrastructure to try to minimise damage. There’s no way we’d be able to take out every missile that comes in during a barrage on our own but I think the Norwegian forces would be launching their ships and aircraft too so we wouldn’t be completely on our own. Certainly France would too since the fallout from Sizewell would be a huge threat to them too.

If there was enough time to get 2 type 45 into position then there was enough time to get a sky sabre system and 2 stormers to each target.

We would have early warning of a large bomber formation from Norway not to mention the Norwegian air force following the whole way. Crowsnest Merlin, boeing airseaker R1, and Poseidon P8 can all be used for long range missile detection. It was fun to watch but I'll still be sleeping very easily.

this is absolutely correct and it doesnt even take into account that if Russia could even field those rusty old bombers the U.S. would alert your country to be on standby before they made cruise altitude. The U.S. watches every runway in russia 24/7 and we will never stop.

@tomriley5790 2 года назад

Well you're assuming the T45s haven't broken down again 2 is the absolute maximum that you could expect to be operational at any one time, similarly 3 T23s and it's extremely unlikely that the missiles would pass within their envelopes. It's certainly possible that there would be NATO ships in the North Sea but not guaranteed. Similarly I'm not sure stormer has any antimissile capability. I also have questions about crowsnest - it's been around since the 1980s so if people haven't worked it out by now and how to effectively jam it I'd be surprised. P8s and RC135s can detect the launch platforms and their electronic signatures but have no ability to detect the missiles themselves. As we've seen with the Russian army claiming that you have capabilities your military don't have does no favours long term. UKs military has been plagued by overspending and cutting programs from production early for decades (which are similarly related because if you spend lots developing something and then don't make many of them it makes them much more expensive).

They'll be detected as soon as they leave the deck and nations would scramble QRFs.

There's also the USAF 95th Recon Squadron out of RAF Midenhall flying an RC135V/W ELINT aircraft. I'm not that familiar with the ELINT role, so would it help fill an AWACS gap by intercepting comms from the bombers? Also, Though it's only just been introduced this month (7th ADG), wouldn't the Sky Sabre present a limited deterrent?

I think there's a fundamental exaggeration of Russian capability. Despite seeing them in action for a few months now and get absolutely rinsed by the Ukrainians, we're still suggesting the Russians could pull off an attack like this. I would wager that less than half of their aircraft simulated here are flight capable and I would also wager they don't have anywhere near this amount of cruise missiles in working order. Not only this, but it completely ignores Sky Sabre, Rapier, Stormer HVM, any frigates (which have pretty capable S2A capabilities in their own right), the huge amount of USAF aircraft that are based in the UK, and you're probably more likely to have 4 T45s than 3. There are also only about 20/30 Typhoons deployed abroad, meaning that number is far closer to 70/80 in the UK. And then there's the 23 F-35s. Finally, all of RAF/RN aircraft would be up in the air and waiting for the, likely around 8 Russian aircraft before they even get into launch range because we'd know they were coming from our friends in NATO.

Six to ten, at most, and the rest of the offensive from land-based missiles, not, certainly not, this one-dimensional strategy. Finally, I would suggest that, [given the merits of this video,] Britian installs an over the horizon radar site to the far north, beyond the Orkneys -- wherever that is, as Russia would certainly use the Northern attack route, imho.

A better title would be 'Could Russia survive a flatulence strike from Johnson'? We should be far more worried about the threat from our own politicians.

@davewallace5008 2 года назад

There is no competition between Britain and Russia. We do not have the resources to tackle a Russian attack, besides it will be nukes so typhoons, tornadoes and Rafale's are redundant.

Great video. Id like to see this redone with the factor that a declaration of war on the uk means war with nato. This means american assets would defend the uk. Specifically the F15 fleet at raf lakenheath and the e3d screen from geilenkirchen germany

@@danieljerram7964 MP wages are hilariously low for what they do, and in the grand scheme of U.K. spending they mean nothing and would still mean nothing is doubled or halved.

@@paulharrison2325 furthermore, some suggest increasing the wages of politicians so that it would attract more people who would be able to do a better job. I think the idea is only the arrogant, those than game the system or truly dedicated would get into politics because of the stress of dealing with the media looking for click bait headlines and the abuse from voters of your opposition... It's just easier and more profitable to get a job in a normal job.

@@MarKeMu125 Agree. One of the biggest issues with British politics is how laughably low their wages are. Without meaning to be a braggart, I earn more than my MP does by a considerable margin; yet my job doesn't have anywhere near the levels of responsibility of theirs.

Don't you have any clue on military strategy? They are always loading the bombers and flying towards unfriendly countries. It is a part of their daily/weekly activities. Not just russians but all militaries do that. They breach each others airspace just to see how long it takes to get a response. They fly towards others while they are conducting exercises, they fly towards their ships, enter through remotes areas, conduct missile tests which fly towards their foes but dip juat in time. Militaries are always doing provocative stuff just that it is not reported in the news.

@@KingOfZamunda They dont breach nations airspace. they always fly in international airspace. just look at Denmark and Sweden today sending for their respective Russian ambassadors to give them a right dressing down over a breach of their airspace. and we are part of Nato. so we won't be alone
