The Unbelievable Power of The B-2 Bomber REACTION!! | OFFICE BLOKES REACT!! 

I grew up a block from the Pico Rivera plant. You never saw a person in uniform until one night hummers and APCs blocked the two main roads and pointed guns at everyone at the intersection. It was like 1am and some military guy told everyone to turn off their cars. Then about 20 plain marked cargo trucks left the plant, going in every direction. This was before anyone had cell phone cameras, but the military made sure no one followed or took pictures. About 10 minutes of shutting down the roads, everyone disappeared like nothing happened. We found out later that the B2 prototype was being assembled and the cockpit was what they were moving that night and soon after the plant was shutdown and leveled.

The B-2 Bomber is good at taking out terries.

FUN FACT: in 2008 one of these crashed while taking off , it crashed because it got left in the rain the day before and got moisture on the computers. When taking off the instruments thought the aircraft was going faster than it actually was and it stalled. Both pilots lived. But the air force lost 2 billion $ in about 17 seconds.

The B-2 does not go 2000mph. It goes about 750 max or so.. The plane that was going 2300 MPH was the SR-71 Blackbird, which doesnt carry any weapons its purely a stealth recon plane

The B-2 is UN-arguable one of the most sophisticated air craft flying today, but you must realize it was being developed 30 years ago approx. Makes you wonder what they are currently working on.

I have two friends from high school that got in the military, one is now an F-22 Raptor pilot, and the other became a predator drone operator. Their stories are amazing.

The scale of that thing is absolutely enormous. I got the chance to see Fire & Ice at the Dayton Air Force museum and my head only came up to the top of the plate on the landing gear. It's incredible, and really inspiring.

I worked at the World Financial Bldg (on the Hudson River across from the WTC) in the 1990's. During Memorial Day week the Navy fleet comes up the Hudson for Fleet Week. Being on the 33rd floor with an unobstructed view of the Hudson River, I saw many Naval ships come up the river with the crew lined up on the deck in their Navy blues. All of a sudden, here comes a B-2 Bomber following the fleet. It was enormous! I got ready to cover my ears as it went by, but all you could hear was "whooshhhhh". Amazing!

My brother had the opportunity while being a B1 mechanic to go onboard the B2 Spirit. Said the coolest thing was the buttons that dropped shades over the windows. He asked why, they explained so that they don't get blinded by the nuke.

The Speed check thing where they did 2,000 mph wasn't a stealth Bomber. It was an SR-71 Blackbird. It had some level of Stealth for his time, but wasn't really a stealth plan. It also was designed for spying from above the level of most anti aircraft missiles. It had no combat ability short of being to fast to be attack. A stealth Bomber is a Bomber. It is a good bit slower and it's Stealth abilities not it's speed keep it safe. Clearly not the same plans as each other. You should do a video on the SR-71 Blackbird.

Dave talking about what he thought a nuke looks like made me think of the dictator, it has to b pointy on top so that it sticks into the ground then boom lol

Living in Europe and knowing that danger from a quick attack I can see how you guys might appreciate the security of such a weapon. Living in the states we just don't realize the dangers of our enemies because in reality, we've really never had an ongoing attack on our shores.

I live in Kansas City, which is about an hour from the air force base which is home to this bomber. We see them fly over every few weeks and it’s an awe inspiring/freighting sight. When they fly over Arrowhead stadium (Kansas City Chiefs), they fly low enough it sounds like it will tear the roof off of my house (I live in the flight path).

One of my best mates worked on them as a mechanic in the US Air Force. Grueling job, he's glad he did it, but he's also glad he's out of it now lol.

I live a about an hour from Whiteman AFB in Mid Missouri. Every once in a while these beasts will fly over the area I live. They are so freaking loud. Even looking an inch wide way up there. It is absolutely awesome seeing them.

The replacement the b-21 raider is coming up soon and will be even stronger

Hehe im from Pico Rivera, I remember the old Northrop plant as a kid. Its now a shopping center complete with a Lowes Home Improvement and a Walmart. That and the surrounding area in the picture looks nothing like what it is today. Thats a reeeeaaally old photo.

Two secrets people don't generally talk about: 1) the wing edges are electrostatically charged, apparently giving it a bit of anti-gravity propulsion to induce lift. Ionized air from the wing edges and exhaust give it a small amount of "float" compared to other jets, and 2) it has the ability to project a fake radar signature away from it's actual location. If that was not enough, the US uses drones to do the same thing. While the enemy is taking down a $2 million drone that mimics a B-2, F-22, etc. the real jets are blowing everything sky high at another location. That is why so many countries claim to shoot down stealth jets and they are just hitting the projections or drone simulations.

I live in Missouri and while coming home from a trip I saw one flying. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. The plane is massive yet is so thin that if it turns directly towards you it looks like it disappears at a distance. Never seen anything like it in my life. If you end up traveling near Whiteman AFB, you might be able to see them train.

I love the Brits sense of humor so funny LOL!!!!!!!

A different video stated the heat signature from the B2 is less than that of a bumble bee--same for the other stealth aircraft.

i love that mention that it could carry more. they give a speed limit on the sr71. several pilots say at that speed you had plenty of throttle left. then you have the chinook. it carried a Russian helicopter that was over its official weight capacity....through a sandstorm. so yea give it to the right pilot and it can probably do alot more than any military mouthpiece will ever say.

I knew a lady who worked on the B2 and was just thrilled the day she could talk about the B2.

Listening to the Office blokes is like ASMR. So soothing and puts me in a mellow mood. Weird but true. Lol

I had the pleasure of guarding this bird and the home base of this bird my first 2 yrs in the military as a young USAF Security Forces airman. Was pretty awesome to see as a 19 yr old on a daily basis! Was there when 9/11 happened and watched the first 2 B-2s take off in the middle of the night to go bomb Afghanistan which was at the time the longest sortie in history. Think it was like a 32 hr flight and the wheels never touched any ground but their home base. Pretty amazing bomber!!

I was stationed at Whiteman, AFB (509 SFS) the home of the B-2 and the weirdest thing about working with that plane was that they only did full power engine tests in the early hours of the morning. I'd wake up in a vibrating 4 story brick dormitory (Challenger) that's about 1/4 mile away from the hangers at 0230 and I have to be at the squadron at 0400 for a 14 hour work day. On a positive note it was always hilarious to watch someone walk behind a bomber doing an engine run and then get picked up off the ground and flew 50ft into a fence :D

Fun facts: It is widely agreed that the First Nation ever to use Aviation as a Military Asset was Italy, with the Italian Army’s Air Arm being formed in 1884. This used Hot Air Balloons for military reconnaissance and planning. The First Ever use of heavier-than-air aircraft in armed conflict occurred n 1911, when experimental reconnaissance and bombing sorties took place during the Italo-Turkish War by the Servizio Aeronautico (Aeronautical Service). The name of the Italian Air Force (as used today) came into being as an independent service by King Vittorio Emanuele III of the Kingdom of Italy, on On 28 March 1923. Known as the Regia Aeronautica (literally, Royal-Air-Force). During the 1930s, the fledgling Regia Aeronautica was involved in its first military operations, over Ethiopia in 1935. Crazy to think, but Italian Generals who were thinking WAY ahead of their time, thought that if ordnance (bombs) was dropped from the sky, the sheer psychological effect on the tribal Ethiopian villages which Italy ruled, would be more powerful than the bombs themselves, since terrified Tribal Villagers back then had never seen ‘men ‘flying’ in magical wooden boxes which spat out fire”, as some Tribal Elders allegedly said. The M.O basically consisted of a soldier in the rear seat, having a wooden crate full of ‘bombs. When over the target, he would simply reach for them, pull out a detonating pin, essentially, then lean out over the edge of the plane, look down to ‘aim’, and then manually drop the bombs. It worked, sewing the very early seeds about the vital importance of Air Dominance/Superiority, very possibly before any other nation.

One would assume that if they're smart enough to pilot the world's most sophisticated stealth plane. They would be smart enough to follow the simple instructions of an MRE.

I love this aircraft, I have seen it up close and it's just perfect.

Had an uncle who retired from the US Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel. He then went to work with the company that built the B2 bombers. Hi job was a secret. He could not talk about it.He was a liason between the company and the Pentagon

The drones are flown from Nellis Air Force base near Las Vegas, Nevada. Each drone is flown by a trained certified pilot and the bombs are controlled by enlisted men or women. They can be flown across the world in places like Iraq or Afghanistan from a mobile trailer near Las Vegas!

One flew over my home years ago for an airshow and it was just the strangest thing to see, it really didn't look like it should be flying but it was amazing looking.

The speed check story was an SR71. A mach 3 high altitude spy plane.

Think of this, it was only 60 from the time of the Wright Brothers First flight, too the First Flight of the Mach 3.2 SR71 Black Bird, 66 Years too the First Men Landing on the Moon and only 94 Years too the B2's being Commissioned into the Air Force. To Me this Time Line is Amazing. The Human Mind is Is Amazing!!

Brian Shul wasn't flying a stealth plane and it wasn't a bomber. It was the Lockheed SR71 'Blackbird' high speed, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It was so fast it was unarmed.

It's an amazing piece of technology, and, construction has already begun on it's replacement, the B-21 Raider.

Check out "Puff the Magic Dragon" and what it did in Korea. My uncle was a gunner on it, sad to say.

Lmfao a bowling ball with a fuse on the top. Daz is killing me this morning

It's funny you made a joke about using an Xbox controller for the drones. That's actually accurate. The future "pilots" of military drones grew up playing video games, so some drone controllers are manned by video game controllers. The pilots already have the muscle memory and reflexes of the configuration making them more effective with a deadly weapon.

I live in Missouri where the majority of these are stationed. See them every week it never gets old. What’s really scary is when you see three of them take off together from whiteman AFB in Missouri. It’s a sight to see one, let alone three in formation.

I live in St Louis about 2 hours from whiteman afb where the b2 are kept.

I was assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing. Even after six years I never got tired I watching the B-2 fly.

There's actually only 19 b2s in operation one was lost in 2008 during a takeoff and another one is sitting in the us airforce museum in Dayton Ohio

The B-2s replacement is close at hand blokes! The B-21 (so named for the 21st century) is scheduled to begin tests in 2022 and will look very similar to the B-2. As you might guess, it will have lot's of refinements and improvements. The biggest one is probably that can be piloted OR NOT! Yep a big badass drone!

The armament loads listed in the video are not all at the same time. The B-2 can carry 80x500lb bombs OR 16x2000lb bomb OR 16 nukes...not all three at the same time. 🖖💯✌

The gentleman who told the story was flying the SR71. The SR71 is not a bomber at all and is not really a stealthy plane. It has some stealthy features like a special coating but it can be easily seen on radar. It's purpose is surveillance only it carries no weapons of any kind.

At Kansas City Chiefs home games, they'll often have Stealth Bombers do flyovers. Whiteman Air Force Base isn't that far away.

He was a SR71 pilot, not a B2 pilot. One aircraft is unarmed the other is armed to the teeth, you can't really hide if it's got the right load.

My friends house burnt down and it was found that the MREs he had stashed in his shed by the house caused the fire.

I know the Top Speed of the SR-71 Blackbird ( also a stealth jet ) is Mach 3.2 ( although some say it's even faster ) but Mach 3.2 is 2455.261 miles per hour and that jet was made like 40 years ago Lol !!

I'm not sure when this clip was made - but a B-2 crashed on take-off from Guam in 2008. So 1 has been lost - the most expensive airplane crash ever.

I like how the video makes Sysnthitic composites mystical like it's alien tech. They are incredible materials now accessible to an average maker. Carbon Fiber being rigid and light. Can replace metal structural parts. FIberglass for being waterproof and electrically insulated. Yet will shatter easily under blunt force. Kevlar being energy absorbent and crack/fracture resistant. Replaces heavy materials like titanium with similar capabilities but i tiny fraction of the weight. Recently these technologies became DIY ready. Anyone can buy the fabric weaves and epoxy types and produce things that a decade ago was accessible only to major automotive and military contractors.

A bit of a back story.....the Northrop-Grumman B-2 Spirit is based on a 1940's flying wing design created by Jack Northrop, an aviation pioneer who founded Northrop Corp. In 1952, devastated by the Air Force's decision to cancel the new bomber, he abruptly retired as chief executive of the company and sold his holdings in the firm. ( It's been said that Northrup resisted a forced merger with Convair and in retaliation the Secretary of the Air Force cancelled the flying wing program.) Then in 1981, just before his death, Jack Northrup was granted an extraordinary government security clearance in order to see the design for the B-2 Stealth bomber. Northrop Chairman Thomas V. Jones told shareholders in 1988 “I went to the Air Force and said, 'let this man know'; and God bless the Air Force they did.”

The one you are talking about watching earlier was the SR-71 Blackbird. It was the highest, fastest "spy" plane in the world, years ago. The B2 s far newer, and it's main mission is as a high level bomber.

The parking orbit is were they stage sats to be deployed to a higher orbit but it is 250KL above the earth so a magnetic field line can reach in the orbit and when it does its like EMP, they should have been watching discharges of of the sun a little closer

I was stationed at Grissom AFB, IN from 1991-1994 and during the summer of '92 we held an air show at the base, which included a B-2 flying in to be a static display for the weekend, so they were around before 1997...don't know why the narrator made it sound like they didn't exist before then. I remember on the Thursday before the weekend of the air show I was driving back to the base from the nearest local town after picking up a camcorder I rented for the weekend and I was about a mile or so from the base entrance and the B-2 happened to fly by upon its arrival at that moment and did a hard bank, putting its trademark wingspan on display and it made me pee a little...lol. Looked like a gigantic black boomerang going across the horizon...

It's crazy to hear them fly over when you are at a football game. Like literally the ground shakes and the wind is crazy

Look at velcro,it was developed for NASA astronauts in space. Now everything has velcro.

The thing about a flying wing is that the concept has been around a very long time, but they now have the computing power to actually make it safer than in the past. It isn't that easy to keep in the air as one might think.

This is actually being replaced by the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider.

You guys can be forgiven. Shul was a SR71 pilot. The SR71 is not a bomber but just a spy plane only setup to take pictures. It had no weapons. The B2 is entirely different in that it is classified as a bomber. Although fast, it cannot come close to the speed of the SR71. 2 different planes with totally different missions. If a B2 is headed your way, game over. You will never know what hit you.

Around 1:00 “I think it was a stealth bomber”... no Sir, it was the SR71 Blackbird which was a spy plane/reconnaissance aircraft

They are based here in Missouri not to far from me here near Kansas City at Whitman AFB. See them and A-10s flying over every once in a while.

As for what you thought the size of Nuclear missiles was, they come in different sizes. The ones carried and deployed by aircraft are very small compared to the giant nuclear missiles that fly themselves anywhere on the globe and destroy many square miles at once. It's like, Hey Bob, Do we want to destroy a small town or take out an entire City? Just a small town George, okay I'll fuel up the B-2, grab us some snacks and a bunch of bananas because it's going to be a long day and I don't feel like smelling your shit the entire flight!

Don't forget that GPS was a usa darpa invention, same with the internet. The g code is just GPS successor.

Its based on a falcon. If you look at it side by side with a falcon in flight you'll see it.

I still like the classic b52 bomber back in the day when you saw those beasts coming you knew it over. Wish they'd at it as a killstreak in cold war lol

Brian Shul flew the SR-71 Blackbird!

Considering where the shitter is placed, I would have expected a magazine rack on the back of the pilot seat.

Now they are saying the B2 will be in service till 2033 (30 yrs), yet the B52 has crews that were not even born when the aircraft first came on line. Fun fact about the B52 it can land off angle so the nose is not pointing down the runway but the landing gear is.

That was funny! The MRE bit was a little off. The heater in the MRE, which is optional for food prep, won't explode. If you seal the bag with it and water, steam will build until it can release. At worst scolding you, I've had it happen. The only real danger, which is minimal even in an enclosed space, is the carbon monoxide released by the heater during the water initiated endothermic chemical reaction. However, even this is a minimal amount compared to the oxygen system onboard. I really like your videos and take on just about everything! Keep it up!

"I have the aircraft" "Negative, this is mine"

If it weren't for NASA, the world would definitely be different. Here are just a few. The list of all things is extremely long. Scratch-resistant lenses. Ear thermometers. Shoe insoles. Invisible braces for teeth. Cordless tools. Tap water filters Satellite navigation Memory foam. Cochlear implants LASIK (used for eye surgery) aircraft anti icing tech improved radial tires enriched baby formula

How much NASA benefited industry & consumers is always debatable. But there is no doubt it was a 'money-making' exercise. I saw that just infra-red mapping of the oceans increased fishing so much, that alone paid for going to the moon.

The B2 bomber is Waaaaay different from the SR71 ( Blackbird ). The SR71 had NO WEAPONS at all. Its "weapon" was speed. Its MISSION was super high-tech cameras riding in an aircraft that could move at mach 3 AT EASE ... at altitudes surpassing 90,000 ft ! Pictures/videos taken could read a car's license plate ! Also, the SR71 was NOT "stealth" like the B2 is. View Brian Shul's 1-hour video titled, "From Butterflies to Blackbirds" ! YOU WON'T REGRET THE TIME SPENT ! CHEERS !

Generation 8 B-2; combine it's invisibility to radar to the MACH 5 speed of the SR-71.

During the mid 90s to early 2000s there were reports of a massive triangular shaped UFOs flying around at night in the deserts that made nearly no sound. Yet another aircraft reasonable for many UFO sightings.

Brian Shule and the SR71 Stealth Mach 3.2 Reconnicence Aircraft.

The speed check story was an *SR-71* spy plane during the *Cold War* those planes are now retired

Surprise the picture from your thumbnail wasn't included in the video or the plane doing a bombing run

That picture from inside the cockpit is not the inside of the bomber, just a different jet for illustration purposes i am believing

You should check out the new version of the F15 fighter. It's called the F15 EX and will be the most heavily armed fighter on the planet. The F15 has never been lost during war and it can fly with one wing missing.

Yep! The new Russian S-600 anti air missile is just a rocket tipped with about 40 defective MREs that will detonate with the force of 1,000,000 clogged toilets!

NASA invented velcro, as an example of returns on investment

If you think the B-2 Spirit is insane check out the F-22 Raptor. We sell the F-35 because we NEVER even considered selling the F-22. In a live combat simulation a single F-22 pilot once recorded over 100 eliminations of other "enemy" jets. It is the definition of air superiority. The scariest thing about the F-22 is that it is scheduled for retirement soon. Meaning something even more insane will be taking its place, and it isn't the F-35. The F-22 is an air-to-air menace. The F-35 is a joint strike (air and ground) jet.

Man! I thought I subbed, but I didn’t. No wonder I wasn’t getting notified.

The chili MRE wouldn't bring down the aircraft but could probably take out that toilet

I would love to watch these guys react to how pepsi became the 6th most powerful military power in the world. And yes I said pepsi like the drink company.

Guys with the Xbox Controller are just outside Las Vegas

Amazing!

The SR-71 blackbird is the plane from the last video. It was developed to outrun the Soviet surface to air missiles because U2 spy planes were being shot down

There are only 20 now. One crashed a few years ago. Computer glitch or preferred sensor, something like that.

and to think...the B-21 is coming online to add to this arsenal.

If you are in NATO, be happy that this thing is on your side!

The SR71 Blackbird could cruise AT EASE at speeds that SURPASS the speed of a bullet exiting a hunting rifle ( a 30.06 ). The B2 is much slower --- but uses STEALTH technology to baffle radars. The B2 can carry a MASSIVE amount of ordinance ---- whereas the SR71 had NO WEAPONS at all.

the entire explosive is just in the warhead, the rest determines its speed and flying distance

That was the SR71 spy plane as noted below.

Supposedly at one point the B-2 bomber cost more than its own weight in gold! Only 20 are still operational. One crashed in 2008 (the pilots safely ejected).

NASA was a money maker with the majority of innovations passing on to the consumer electronics and food market. So Dave wasn't wrong... Having said that, 10:1 is a hell of a return and I don't know if I'm gonna stick my neck out to validate that anally-originated statistic.
