give JT an 8-ball and put him in a sound booth to do dub over's. show the orig video with JT's face in a min screen in the corner all wide eyed and a well "powdered" mustache. money maker
@oldedude51 My dad enlisted in the early '90s and trained with the bayonet. A Drill Seargent could also use phrases/words that would be considered "culturally insensitive". Not preaching to the choir, just sharing some supporting anecdotes.
Had a few friends in school ahead of me go to Nam....fortunately they made it back and said the chopper pilots they knew would go out and come back with them shot full of holes grab another one and do the same thing while they had to patch them up in the mean time.
Uncle was 1ST CAV... .he flew hewies... Like you said, HELL OF AN AIRCRAFT!!... Also, job supervisor was on the ground when 1ST CAV came flying over the hill... My uncle saved my supervisor.. In REAL LIFE... not just a movie! FULL RESPECT
As a former 14M Stinger Man Pad gunner and complete plane nerd, That plane is the SAAB J35 Draken. Also the AH-64 Can be equipped with the FIM-92 Stinger for air to air defense, The chick pulls one off her Apache when shes shot down and equips the Gripstock/IFF Antenna and shoots down a chopper. God I need to watch that movie again! EDIT: Maybe I should not pause and finish watching before I comment lol
Back in the 80s , there was alot of shit was going on in the Persian Gulf and allied oil tankers were being reflagged as US vessels . The navy was paying bonuse to undesignated seamen( E1- E3 without MOSs ) to become Stinger missile operators and ride on the tanker ships .
@@Carimm60 I don't know how common it is now , but in the 80s and 90s alot of recruits in the navy enlisted without contracts for a specific rating ( MOS in the other branches ). They attended Apprentice Training Schools for seamanship , engineering , or aviation. Once in the navy they would work in their field then ' Strike ' for a rating . Upon advancement to E4 ( Petty Officer Third Class ) they were officially rated . The recruits that signed a contract for a particular rating were called ' Designated Strikers ' and worked inside their rating until they were advanced to E4 ( Petty Officer Third Class ) . I sailed with several undesignated seamen and firemen ( engineers) that chose their ratings after several months working undesignated. I was a designsted striker for the Operations Specialist ( Radar Operator ) rating when I signed my contract at MEPS .
Definitely is a javelin IMFDB (internet movie firearms data base) is your friend when you see a weapon in a movie and say to yourself "WTF? is that" And yes arming distance is 65m in direct mode 150m in indirect
As been said, it's a Saab 35 Draken. And Sean Young's character is assembling a Stinger. Sidewinders are larger and take up the pylons for the Hellfires.
Incorrect. The AH-64 can carry 2 Sidewiders on the side of the wings, or 4 Stingers. So it can carry 16 Hellfire''s + 2 Sidewinders or 16 Hellfire's + 4 Stingers.
KW's finally getting some love. Did Pink Teams with Apaches in Iraq and Afghanistan. All I heard from them was, " where did you go?" My reply, "look down!"
The jet is a J-35 Draken, also a bunch of tests and exercises the US Army and Air Force did concluded that helicopters have the advantage in a dogfight with fighter jets when equipped for it. Also the T-80's (not T-82) Shtora system doesn't automatically fire the tanks gun, its not linked to the FCS in any way, its a lazer detection and lazer dazzler system meant to jam and disorient any incoming lazer guided munitions, and every TC whos ever used a Shtora system turns their turret override off because otherwise it'll throw you out of the turret if your unbuttoned and not expecting it to turn the turret. Also also those ATGMs in the white house scene were Javelins. JT needs to review his factsheet before unloading.
I still think we need some reactions to the military fighting aliens/monsters. Battle Los Angeles, Godzilla, Battleship. Those over the top movies would be fun to tear apart
I want to see y'all react to James Bond movies. Specifically Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies. He just does some pretty ridiculous stuff to which I feel y'all would have a blast reacting. Anywho, that's my request. Thank you!
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany Yeah! That's a great one. Dan Craig is a good 007. I'd just like to see y'all react to the Pierce Brosnan Bond, because the action sequences are so absurd. Y'all should do a Bond Special--that would be epic!
@@The_Archer132 How about Timothy Dalton when a does a wheelie in a Kenworth or puts a whole rig up on its side wheels to avoid being hit by a rocket...
Fun fact, the F18's used for the Germany shot where the canopies are destroyed by the Herc are Canadian CF18's. You can see the false canopy painted under the fuselage, also no canopies were injured that day.
Yeah, lets do Broken Arrow..enough great stuff, and equal amounts of crap, to an entire episode on it alone! And I like Travolta far more as a bad guy, wasn't a big fan of his..until his part in Broken Arrow.
Correct, 2.75" Hydra rocket pods are NOT sidewinders..(or even Air to air viable at all, against a fast mover!) You are correct. Its absolute horseshit. The newer Australian High Precision kill rockets have a much improved capability, and could potentially do this now, but at the time 'Firebirds' was shot..no way in hell. They had zero guidance capability after launch.
@@vampyr2936 Haven't heard of that one! I know of some old incidents where Zuni or Hydra style rockets have got some amazingly lucky strikes..or unlucky ones, such as the accidental launch of 1 from an F4 phantom on a carrier's deck during Vietnam, that destrroyed half the carriers fighters, on tbe opposite side of the deck, in what became a huge inferno that kept spreading to more planes, etc This was the incident that immediately decided all of today's inbuilt weapons failsafes and tech safeguards built into the Aircraft & Vehicles that carry & launch them. So yeah, unguided rockets certainly do have plenty of potential to wreak havok, but their usually 'more ass than class' where accuracy is concerned. Its always a fluke, or a serious fuckup, when they hit dead on! That's why they are designed to ripple-fire, in salvos, for area effect.
Oh my God! "Fire Birds"! When I was around five years old I was obsessed with helicopters, especially Apaches, and 'Fire Birds' was my favorite movie. My mother would rent one movie for me each weekend at Blockbuster and I would almost always ask for 'Fire Birds' - week in and week out. I must have seen that movie 30 times. Years later I still remembered the movie but I had long since forgotten the title. I was convinced I'd never come across the movie again. But here it is! Nostalgia levels through the roof. PS: As a kid there was only one thing my little half-decade-old self thought was particularly unrealistic in the movie: it was when the female pilot/gunner detached the missile assembly from the wing pylon of the helicopter and as if by magic unfolded it into a fully functional, shoulder-fired anti-air weapon system. I thought there was no way that any sort of vehicle mounted guided missile system could just be 'unplugged' in the field like that and then used as a manpad. But apparently that part was actually accurate. Mind blown.
Firebirds is some of the best Nick Cage 90's cheese. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch it. The fighter jet in Firebirds is a SAAB Drakken.
Jaareed, it was a javelin in “white house down”. You can shoot down helicopters with them. The trainers actually have helicopter engagement scenarios. Come on JT
The fighterjet at 04:20 is a Swedish produced F-35 Draken, sold to the US, by the Royal Danish Air Force when they were phased out and replaced by F-16As
My Uncle flew Search and Rescue in Nam. He went down 11 times and went back for more every time till he was discharged. He has always been a bit of a hero to me.
Fun Fact: when the Range 15 movie was still an idea, the first time I discovered all yall was when yall first started resourcing donations. I was in this Facebook group that the great Jarred Taylor was a member in and saw him post about this epic movie that was the kind of movie I always wanted to see be made. Been addicted to yalls content since.
Fun fact about the movie Outbreak: it was film in Ferndale, California. I'm working for a guy who was a part of the set crew, my mom was almost an extra (the townspeople in the movie were actual residents of ferndale), and Dustin Hoffman stayed in one of my teacher's friend's house. It's one of the most famous movies to have been filmed in my town. I can tell y'all more trivia about the filming of outbreak while it was in my town if you ask
You guys legitimized Firebirds! Lol! I was an extra and got to see some of the Apache maneuvers. They were all legit in the movie, no CGI. They were the McDonnell Douglas test pilots that did the flying. Fun times. Have to watch it again.
Outstanding. Hilarious. Would love to have been there to see JT and Danny Sanchez flick crap at each other. Knew him briefly at Ripley in Tarin Kowt before he was lost.
The little I know about the Apache suggests that those missiles being fired were not Sidewinders, but Hydra missiles. This seems like an important detail for us to hammer over and over again.
I love the video guys. I served as a 0352 in the USMC. Just to inform you that you can use a javelin and tow missile on helicopters. The jave will lock on and you can guild the tow onto target. Not ideal weapons but it is possible.
Used to be an AVS tech, and spent a long while working on chinook simulators, during which time I got pilots to train me to fly the thing. Getting drunk with them and doing exactly what you just said, but doing pinnacle landings on the edge buildings. Fun times.
Ok, can't say where, but I've been with my Marine recon team in a blackhawk that had us on a SPIE rig about a mile up over the pacific, came ashore and put us down, we loaded up and the crew chief was really making sure we and our gear were secure. I was in the left troop seat, leg hanging out the door, M16A2 in my lap and he gave us the best 30 minute ride of my life, even doing hammerhead stalls, canyon racing, etc. Then finally popped over the ridgeline and started flying "normal" and when we set down on this dirt airstrip he told us were doing a cold shutdown, which seemed odd. The army WO pilot came back and said gents we're not gonna talk about what we just did, right. We all gave him the blank stare and "sir, I have no idea what you are talking about".
That aircraft from Fire Birds is a Saab 35 Draken (Dragon), from Sweden. First flight 1955 and was the first Supersonic fighter produced in western Europe.
In the Early 80's the Apache was equipped with stingers. I know it's not a movie or the ordinary stuff you react to but you guy really need to take a look at the Battle for Long Tan doco that came out not so long ago. A massively out numbered group of Australian soldiers were forced to hold out in a rubber plantation till support could arrive it was such a great doco
4:05 i think that was a sweden jet j35dThe Saab 35 Draken is a Swedish fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Saab between 1955 and 1974. It was the first fully supersonic aircraft to be deployed in Western Europe and the first aircraft to do the Cobra maneuver. Top speed: 2,124 km/h
Jack Churchill aka "Fighting Jack Churchill", "Mad Jack" was a British soldier and fought throughout WWII with a long bow, Scottish Broadsword and a bagpipe only. Captured 42 Nazis while only carrying a sword.
