Red Storm Rising: Chapter 23 Returns 

Number 1 !

All hail the King!

May I recommend Growling Sidewinder?

Same here

I checked it out and the videos are very good. While a lot of information is given in the videos I prefer the narration of FIXEDIT.

You guys are too kind!

A movie would not do this book justice, gotta be a mini series.

​@@Wolfhound223Can you imagine the budget needed to do it justice though?

​@stuartannetts300 They pulled off Band of Brothers & The Pacific. Though different the budget for Game of Thrones grew to be something to behold. It can be done.

@@libertylivesin1776 I'm not saying it can't be done, and I would love it to be so. I would just hate it if a half hearted attempt was made at it and spoiled the images I have in my head. I would argue that none of those series you mentioned has anywhere near the same level of multiple interlinked storylines with such variety of subjects covered. Here's hoping though. 👍

@@libertylivesin1776 They were made in a different time, it couldn't be done today. I can guarantee these four things would happen: (i) the plot would have to move from a theatre focus to a character focus because no board of producers is going to allow a TV series that is not character driven. (ii) the characters will have the be changed for diversity purposes. (iii) the storylines would be condensed down (iv) all the nuance from the soviet POV characters would be removed because of current politics, they'd just be dumb brutes. It would be a major disaster, I think anyone advocating for an RSR miniseries is quite naive.

Of course, in Desert Storm, the F117 flew relatively high and thankfully did not have losses during the whole war.

I think that some of the initial targets would be command and control if they could locate it.

Not really, the distinctive downward slant of the F-4 stabilizers causes the left rear stabilizer to visually blend into the aircraft body. If you look at the right most F-4 and freeze frame at 1:07 and 1:08, that aircraft's roll to the right causes the tip of the left stabilizer to become just visible.

Red Storm Rising done Band of Brothers style would be a dream

​@@I_Automateunfortunately there are too many stories in the book to cover to convey the story properly in a BoB style

U r w3Lc0mE!

It's hard to fault Clancy for the inaccuracies when the only available information at the time was "The Air Force maybe has a fighter type aircraft with some sort of stealth capability". The man was mostly guessing.

@@billsmith346 Indeed - hindsight is 20/20.

The F117 was still a black program when Red Storn Rising was written. There were a few rumors but no one had even seen a photo of the F117 at that point

@@billsmith346 and @Fulcrum205 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VS54M5Mqa9M.htmlsi=SMTD20wwCWtIqyrP The whole presentation is good. Scroll to 36:30 for how Clancy figured out the stealth program. 41:12-16 is good thoughts as well.

It was NOT the F-117 Nighthawk. It was the F-19 Frisbee! #Clancywasright
