do you think the Chinese don't have an answer to all this??? Don't make me laugh!!! and why don't you still use it? I think (or rather I am SURE) that you have nothing and cannot be due to low education and moral degradation, this is your path to destruction! I think that if you answer positively to the questions I have raised, it will be self-evident.
Good Video Production ^-^ cool to see these animations can't even imagine how you guys come up with these quality in just 11 days Suggestion:- A video on LCH prachand and INS Virkrant Love from India
Rumors are that these are in Ukraine now. I'm hopeful that they make a big impact (literally and figuratively). Great range, accurate, and a 250 lb bomb. These weapons need to prove themselves fast, because cheap drones appear to be the future. Because you could buy a dozen of those cardboard drones for the cost of one of these bombs. The cardboard drones have a similar range but have the advantage of being able to loiter and pick out targets real-time (yes the bomb is much smaller, but it may be possible to drop the bomb and re-use the drone).
The SDB has Inertial Navigation System backup so if GPS is jammed it will still perform well just at a small increase in CEP (circular error probability). Only the newer SDB GBU-53 has additional laser targeting. It has laser, milometer wave radar, Infrared & GPS/INS.
the newer versions equiped with sensors to hit moving targets was priced at 250k$ in 2014 I find it hard to believe they cost anywhere close to the 40k mark The LRLAP was also meant to cost 20k$ and it ended up costing 800-900k, more than 40 times the price. The LRLAP was very similar, a long rocket booster with a gps guided projectile.
Thank you yeet again for your amazing content. I have sean that u have resently started to make videos from many different countries so could you do a video about Finnish weapons. There are many great examples of Finnish weapons like the patria AMV that is the best armored personal carrier in the world or the patria nemo hevy mortar that can be mounted on a AMV, A normal truck and eaven on a boat.
Yes we can just give us time. The Patria AMV (Armored Modular Vehicle) is an 8×8 multi-role military vehicle produced by the Finnish defence industry company Patria.
This is absolutely fantastic,military engineering is such a complex and beautiful science,thank you for helping us understand it better trough your work!🙏 Can’t wait to see this on battlefield! Himars was destructive,this is going to be unstoppable!
One problem... the GLRMS for the HIMARS now has a long range version that is already phasing out the older version. That is one of the reasons we sent so many to Ukraine. The new ones have a 150km range and cost about the same. Second the only reason we had those boosters is the were old leftovers. I do not think they even make them. Plus this is an older version of the SDB. The new one is the GBU-53/B Stormbreaker. The best part about this is 2 can fit in place of a 1000 pound JDAM or similar size missile. They actually had to round the nose cone to make 23 fit properly. 90% of what we send to Ukraine is old phased out stuff or surplus left over from the middle east.
@@Aldinos- I’m pretty sure these appeared in a list for weapons being shipped to Ukraine. I can’t remember though but I also recall hearing something about these being sent or possibly being sent
@@Aldinos- как приедешь на украинский фронт так их и подвезут. Уже взяли кредиты в банках на их изготовление, счетчик щёлкает, мин.обороны США торопит, заводы уже в три смены работают, куда же их теперь девать? Только использовать на Донбассе и по Севастополю.
As a Blender user myself I just HAD to subscribe. Those really are wonderful animations. Then as a retired engineer you got me hooked. I love any content about pretty much any kind of machines.
Are we sure about the warhead section? The SDB by default comes with a needle like hardened steel cased penetrator warhead with a case weight of 150lbs and a filler weight of 50lbs. Other variants are also available, such as the "LEO" Lethality Enhanced Ordnance warhead similar in design to the M31A1 Alternative Warhead, in addition a low collateral damage carbon fibre cased Dense Inert Metal Explosive warhead is available. Seems unlikely they would switch out the warhead just for the GLSDB as this would increase costs, the SDB's used being off-the-shelf items instead of new products.
USA gave the go ahead for these but not ATACMS/ Precision Strike missiles for obvious reasons. A cheap small yield glide bomb with decent range will ruffle less feathers than a large powerful missile that has greater range and a much bigger war head.
Dear Aitelly, hats off for the amazing videos you guys are creating! Can you make an illustration about the 9K330 Tor-M2? It would be interesting to see how this unique air defense system works.
(Just some info about the GBU-39) The GBU-39 is technically not an missile but instead an guided bomb, yet it can "glide" towards its targed by a guidance system for precicion strikes.
Can you guys please look into the topic: why modern frigates and warships are so lightly armed and even more newer ones have lesser CIWS especially the frigates. Make a video on this topic if possible. Thanks and wow well done on these
@C A lightly armed to defend itself in a situation if long range aa fails to intercept. I mean why isn't there a good amount of CIWS or very short range missiles if any exist or something like that. Do the navies of the world have such great confidence in their electronic countermeasures etc? Just look at Tughril frigate or JS Mogami. One CIWS only.
FYI these weapons are typically both GPS/INS guided. Depending on the block type. They use the same type of ring-laser gyroscope technology airliners and spacecraft use for navigation. GPS is preferred for accuracy, as gyros can drift in flight and take time to 'spin-up' and align, but even if the GPS signal is lost entirely (for whatever reason), the weapon will still guide to the target within a very* slightly higher margin of error. Providing laser guidance to a weapon like the GBSDB would be very context-dependent. The party doing the actual lasing would have to be emitting on the same code ('pattern') that the weapon's seeker is programmed to look for. A scenario like that would typically require pre-planning (for practicality), but it wouldn't necessarily have to. In any case, the person with the laser and the person fireing the weapon, have to be using the same 4-digit code. Sorry if I come off as a 'purist', but I'd hate to see these incredible weapons sold short. No GPS? No laser? No big deal.
Everything that was shown in Ukraine with weapons from the United States is ineffective, and it’s a shame, all that America gives to Ukraine is old weapons, we have not seen and will not see anything new in 2 years of war, since US weapons are a beautiful candy wrapper.😮
The US Navy has determine it needs long range naval fire to support marine amphibious operations. A seaborne HIMARS would be the best solution, in my opinion.
Nice. Six fit in a MLRS pod, just like GMLRS, but they are cheaper, more powerful (113kg vs. 91kg warhead), more manoeuvrable, and have twice the range.
