What is inaccurate is saying it would be on shore in two hours. In reality, that hunk of metal would be disassembled and disappeared in that time while still in the water.
If it gets as far north as North Carolina, there's a place on the Outer Banks called Nag's Head because the Outerbankers used to hang a lantern around a nag's neck and walk her up and down the coast, luring ships to founder on the sandbanks and shoals. Once a ship had run aground, it was legally considered salvage and the Bankers could pick the ship and her cargo clean. It's just one small piece of why the Outer Banks are the Graveyard of the Atlantic. So many ships have sunk there that the locals figured out how to turn that into a way of life. Remember, Russia: Germany tried sneaking their U-boats up and down the East Coast, too, and that didn't end well for them, either.
"Buff, I'm almost positive that, that is a war crime" You can see Canada nodding incessantly while smiling ear to ear... like Jack Nicholson eyeing a Twinkie
Gotta wonder where they get the funding, the time and the objects to test against to make these new things. I feel they literally take a bumblebee out down the range, spray coat it in metallic paint and try to see it on radar…
The equivelent of hearing a spooky noise in a horror moving and immediately sprinting towards it with a murderous smile knowing only one is coming out alive. Roll credits.

Don't touch american boats....American rules. Usaf hired all the avro engineers. Canadian rule don't touch the sky boats or else. 0_0 Canadian death stare.
@@danonsgard4616 Sadly, it might be a matter of time. Their economy is going to become top somewhat soon, and their military, although made with stolen tech, is massive. Plus they lack as many enemies as the US.
only as long as we arn't fihting god, we keep fighting each other, but give us a common enemy *PD2 Cloaker with intensifying sound and glowier red eyes*
Italy: "I have developed my new gunship!" AC-130J: "You call that a gunship?" I'm not going to lie, but as someone who worked on building Ghostrider gunships in my last job, it's a bit odd hearing the word "gunship" associated with a helicopter. On another note, I think the F-22 needs to kill some time by making his own cover album since the U.S. won't let the kid do anything else except sit in his hanger.
@@Malkuth-Gaming True, though refraining from using any prefix from the word "ship" would likely almost always result in an image of a maritime vessel for anyone. That changes quite a bit once a prefix is included. I think "spaceship" is probably the best example of that change, but "gunship" also technically works quite well since it's mostly been attributed to aircraft.
"...everything in my weapons bay is going to be covered in lard, so I can take care of you in this life and the next." That sent shivers through me in 'Murican pride. Go Buff!
In all seriousness, this may not paint me in the best light, but I really do appreciate you and your channel for being my grown-ass Reading Rainbow... you've legitimately helped me understand things that are way over my head, and made me feel much more confident in our military, (my son is planning to enter the Marine Corps, do they have to use a word that looks so much like corpse, next year) and important real world things, like knowing what I'm voting for in offices like congress and other seats that are lower profile and harder to understand the best decisions. Thank you! And don't judge me...
@@jordancarmack584 amen! Knowledge is available everywhere, understanding wth they're even talking about... well... apparently for me, that requires cartoons...
We care a lot more about what our government does, when we have family in service. That's why I favor the draft: "That's right, _now_ it's _your_ @$$ on the line!" No college deferment, no exemptions, loddy-doddy everybody!
Florida Man and a dozen gators getting ready to go down the sub's hatch: "Listen here Earl, don't open that thang until the screamin' stops, you got it?"
Italian here, just to clarify: Leonardo is the manifacturer, the helicopter is actually named AW249, and will be called AH-249A NEES "Fenice" once it starts rolling. NEES stands for Nuovo Elicottero da Esplorazione e Scorta (New Helicopter for Exploration and Escort), AH stands for Attack Helicopter and Fenice is "Phoenix" in italian
@@jacobkern2060 It's a direct evolution of the AW129 Mangusta (Mongoose), but since Leonardo owns the rights to produce the Apache in Europe, it's clear that there was some inspiration about the design (the Mongoose was a light attack helicopter, the Phoenix is a heavy attack helicopter)
*_Somewhere_* Angry Cop: "Wait, my Drill Sergeant Senses are tingling! That could only mean one thing: Habitual Line Crosser needs my help voicing a line?! But I just grew this-" *Is sucked down into Hell.* "-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARD!!!!" Hell: *Spews out Angry Drill Sergeant* AngryDS: "AAAAAAAAHHH!!!! Smooth as a baby's bottom! I'm here for you Battle! Now _where's my Mic?"_
RHPD! 😂 As a Canadian with an ever-growing admiration for our hegemonic cousins to the south, I wish our meagre, but eager Royal Canadian Air Force actually got the Buff. We get pretty much everything from US military suppliers anyway, with the occasional German and British systems. Our government is disgracefully cheap and delinquent in supporting our Armed Services, but our Service Members are stalwart, steadfast and pretty damn good in a fight. Since the Buff is eternal, we would never need to buy another long-range, heavy-lifting, topography-altering hockey puck delivery system. We wouldn't need to bum a lift off US logistics to "reach out and touch someone" ever again! Just imagine how many of the "Suggestions" we could cover on the "Checklist"!😂
Grandpa BUFF reminds me of my grandpa. He’d seen war first hand and fought on the frontlines, and yet he was the chillest man on the planet. until someone messed with me when I was a kid, and then everyone was unanimously concerned, unlike I’ve ever seen before lol. The memories of being loved by him so much makes me tear up 🥹🤧 he always gave me treats, always had a huge smile on his face, always hugged me and played with me in such an old age when no one else did, and was always there for me even when he wasn’t present. R.I.P. Gramps I miss you.
Low frequency radar in addition to low fidelity, also returns reflections off EVERYTHING in the sky, from temperature inversions to real bumblebees, meaning while it can detect stealth aircraft and give a general location for them, you have to sort through thousands of other contacts to find them.
Kinda wild how the birthplace of so many beautful automobile makers-- Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati to name a few, could create such a hideous gunship. I'm expecting a Tym3 Glitch "Raptor Roasts" video about it some time in the future.
It’s like the OG Fiat Panda. Definitely not good looking, but it got the job done reliably, especially the 4x4 version which has achieved Legend status.
Ahh yes. The S-500. An air defense system that can be beaten by a missile from the 90s with a plane from the 80s. Not the flex you think it is but okay
God I love the fact that we have a shank missile. We need that as a character that is at least as psychotic as the Kid. “Oh you think you are using human shields? Against me!?! Bro! I am the final form of a knife fight. There is no such thing as a human shield with me”
Well, time to break out the face eating cannibal drugs again and let my neighbors go get us a new fishing boat. God I love my little tweaker tots down here.
My dad used to tell me a joke: "Helicopters don't lift, they're just so ugly that the Earth throws them up in disgust." If he were alive today and saw the Leonardo, he'd cackle and scream "I was right all along!"
That impression of Angry Cops completely caught me off guard. Praying for HL that he won't find out about that or he's gonna get that Angry Cops knife hand in his face
Woah. So... Italy basically made "Blue Thunder" from the 80s? Nice. One of my favorite movies. Roy Scheider and Daniel Stern were great in it. Go JAFO!
@@baseballjustin5 Yes please. A seemingly mildly modified Bell 22 that has hidden .50 cals, a hidden weapons bay, and can jump to Mach 1?! Would be great for covert operations.
I really love some of the overlap between some of the military RU-vidrs and the gun RU-vidrs and how the communities all kind of just meld together. It's so fucking amazing and it's never a war crime the first time
Best show on the tube. Keep them coming, I need the fresh dark humor and stupididity to start my day as much as coffee. I love the Florida man and Scotland. Reminds me of the Rodger Moore on the jeopardy skits, priceless
Italy’s new gunship looks like a transformer with a design that favors the robot mode over alt mode. Like the altmode was an afterthought due to budget cuts
Loved that Apache made an appearance. Need more of him and Growler. Maybe if Grandpa Buff wants to tell some more stories, he can introduce Sandy or the mighty Alpha Six.
"Yup. So there i was with my fishfinder 4000 and muh bestest deep sea tuna pole. I hooked his ass on a chunk a' sound ablative material that was kinda hangin' off and hauled his russki ass on up! Damn gubmint, though, they said i hads ta release it back inta the wild ta die a natural death seein' as how it were so sick when i catched it." Florida man regaling the bar with his story of the one that got away.
You know, Hemingway used to patrol for German U-boats off the coast of Cuba with grenades and a machine gun. I’m just saying, daiquiris, cigars, and depth charges make for a good afternoon.
“Everything in my weapons bay will be covered in lard, so I can take care of you I this life and the next”. Has to be the best grandpa buff line ever. Savage AF
