@@6gunbeaufordiii514 They were reflecting light! 😁

I was hitchhiking in California somewhere 1994 and ended up out in the desert... maybe high desert. There was a fighter jet doing maneuvers. It was so low I could see the shape of the helmet. For what is was worth as it went by I threw up my hand with a thumbs up remember I WAS HITCHHIKING. The next time it went by I waved and they tipped their wings... That was a great day... I made it back to the highway the following day...

@@828enigma6 i dont speak acronym. Excuse me for being educated. I have no idea what you said lol

I'm actually not surprised by the speed, think about the computers of the 1990's that designed the f22 vs computers today, also AI is already being used to design cars, not to mention you can 3D print with any material, I just want to see what it looks like

@@stetsongray5355 I agree with you, but as a former USAF programmer I've seen how the sausage is made, as it were. :D

I’m a bit surprised, but not much, as some minor tech advances can have a major impact on the effectiveness of a combat aircraft, and specially the F-22 and YF-23 were basic build around their components, and from what I’ve learned this meant only upgrades with the same footprint, or smaller, could be installed on the aircraft, so say they came up with a more powerful engine, and a better air to air radar, but each slightly larger than they ones used on the F-22, as I understand it, they wouldn’t be able to be installed as it lacks the space. This on it like skin tight jeans, if you loose weight you can still fit in them, but let’s say you work out on your legs, and lose a bit of weight, but your thighs and calf’s put on an inch in diameter suddenly the skinny jeans won’t fit, despite weighing less now, because the area for the calf’s and thighs are not big enough for your larger legs.

That funding went to the F-35

How much do you think the debacle with the Chinese spying on the F35 design process contributed to a huge increase in secrecy over this system's design process? I get the feeling this project is longer in the making than we understand. I'd imagine new technologies and processes have been in the works since the F22 deliveries began, from the air force themselves and hopeful contractors.

it never happened, you saw nothing ... now sign this and take a 3 day weekend leeeeev 😑

@@jfrtbikgkdhjbeep9974 errr, I -saw-nothing-I-will-sign. I-heard-nothing-I-must-have-been-dreaming-zzzzzzzzzz

I saw a silent black triangle in the 90s. Would have thought it was an F117, but no sound. Wasn't crazy fast and didn't do crazy maneuvers, it was silent though.

@@Gu1tarJohn Was it pretty high? Sometimes there are winds at different altitudes that can carry away sounds so they don't reach you in the usual way. Many years ago I saw an F-117 on an approach to Miramar Naval Airport. It was only about 3000 ft. altitude and as loud as a regular jet. I took a picture but without a telephoto lens so it looks pretty small but recognizable. What part of the country was the one you saw?

@@nemo227 It was a humid evening, so the cloud base was fairly low. This thing wasn't far above the the tops of the clouds, and they were just fair weather cumulus. It should have been audible.

Well said mate

I agree, I think it shows the transformation of this channel from the old "ghost story" text-style videos he used to put out. When the monetization policies caused the channel to switch to voice narration, it slowly changed to a more informative documentary type presentation, while still discussing the same sort of subject matter. I think the change is for the better.

​@@JDW240 American version of a Mitsubishi 3000 GT

Highly doubt even then we'll "see" anything. It will do its mission and go back to base.

It's very possible. The SR-71 Blackbird first flew in 1964 and both the B-2 Spirit and the F-117 Nighthawk were flying for years before the public knew of their existence, and technology doesn't stand still.

Unless they're recorded by bystanders you probably won't see anything. Whatever aircraft they have will complete it's mission and then RTB

But also reassuring that the military are prepared and progressing - as, no doubt, are Russia and China. This is the third time the USA has stepped up to save Europe. I thank you!

ya, i am sorry, but starting the video saying, funding, research, testing and flight took 1 year....um...thats pretty much impossible. Heck the F22 took quite a few years

@@sabrevanson4412 don’t forget that the us has beeeeennn working on big Bertha and is currently working on the b-21. Most technologies specifically military technologies pull from other projects and failed prototypes. Wether that’s from failed proposals or competitions that we didn’t really hear about. Based on us aircraft development you could be right that the project “started” before the one year mark., but was tucked away and modernized. That happened with the F-22, F-18, and f-16 to name a few. With that being said as an engineer who uses cad softwares, I’m telling you right now, if you have enough engineers and powerful enough computers you could design one in a couple weeks. Speaking to its flight systems I’m not sure. But it is extremely possible if you add in the most technologically challenging pieces of an aircraft are usually purchased and already in production, such as the radar, engines, and weapons. Another thing is that the way calculus works, and throw in possible far ahead technologies they maybe using, it’s entirely possible that they’ve coded a program that auto generates how the external body is shaped, which would be one of the major sticking points.

You can't

@@flaskanbottle9250 press X to doubt.

I don't know dude if you think about it we don't know what the fuck I military already knows and built

yeah I reckon too, who knows how long it's been getting tested. might be doing a bit more than that as well lately. it's possibly what some people thought was et when witnessed.

If the United States is talking about it, it's probably already outdated.

It really means it was built years ago and was just declassified to the public.

Additive manufacturing allows for rapid prototyping and production in all kinds of materials. Massive 3D printers on steroids using all kinds of different processes and materials. Can be done in house. BMW for example uses the laser sintering process to print turbo housings and other car parts that are in use by consumers. The fact they made a next generation prototype in one year tells me there is technology we simply are not aware of. Waiting for the next wave of UFO sightings lol

@Robert Sears bold of you to assume that more expensive always means higher quality. Let's wait till we see its true performance and longevity before making any assumptions.

@Robert Sears A drone does not support a human pilot which in and of itself saves a ton of money in design and manufacturing. Hey fellow, why can’t we for once put on a happy face?😄

The F-35s purpose WAS to be a cash cow for the defense industry. it did exactly what it was intended for. To increase military budget.

@@mrrolandlawrence F-35 is a big cow to milk 😎 Now everyone seems to have to buy it 😁

Two cars in an F1 team is a hell of a lot easier to tinker with than several squadrons of aircraft, that require full integration of hardware and software, avionics, weapon systems, communication, pilot life support and radar. Your point is naive and not thought out.

Yes. Because flying your secret aircraft “around the world” is a clever strategy to keep it a secret.

@@wolverinexo6417 It would be more than a bit unusual for a mainstream air force fighter to be a "black project". Not being a joint program should help compared to F-35 but the airforce isn't known for solid management or a clear vision.

Checkmate this, Russia. 😉 P.S. -- Looks like the PLAAF is going to have a _very_ bad day in the future...

Maybe this video was premature.

Yeah.. the way I view it all is like this. The f22 was done when like back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s? we the people didn’t really find out about it till around 2010… so just say 15 years later.. obviously they’ve gotta try to conceal what they can for as long as they can… strategically at least until it is done done…

@@MississippiKid96 I knew about the F-22 before 2010. In fact it was revealed in 1997, the same year it made its first flight. I'd say it was common knowledge by the time it entered service in 2005. If you look further back, there were 25 years between the first flight of the F-15 and F-22, 29 years between them entering service. It's now been 24 years since the F-22 first flew, so probably about time for 6th-gen to be flying, but still a few years before it's ready to enter service. I don't think the military is quite as secretive as a lot of people think. The B-2 was also revealed a year before its first flight (the same year the F-117 was revealed), for example. They want to justify their budget, they need to be seen doing things. Historically, the only aircraft the Air Force has concealed have been either major technology breakthroughs like stealth or spy planes that are in active use.

I see somebody commented on Russia but I think it's more likely a shot over the Chinese bow.

Yeah, let's keep it his way. I prefer a strong but secretive tech advantage over alerting any potential adversiaries what America has up its sleeve.

Yea but I mean just those 100 22's alone are more than capable of wiping out entire nations.

I know there’s been no actual air to air combat with the raptor (that I know of) but I said it in another comment, I would bet money that as of right now, the raptor would wind up with at least a 10:1 if not 30:1 kill ratio if not higher,.. just not anything out there that poses a real threat to it yet… whether we’re talking BVR engagements, or dog fighting…. It’s still better than su57 and J-20.. the raptor has a lower overall IR signature than both, it’s long range air to air is still more lethal.. it’s still more maneuverable than anything out there yet..

@@2jsanc681 If they don't break. We can't fix them. We literally lost the forms, tooling, and jigs to make a lot of the replacement parts. Combat planes get damaged. If you can't fix them, they become disposable. Even worse, they're COMBAT PLANES. They're SUPPOSED to be disposable.

@@2jsanc681 nations without air defense systems, maybe.

@@IC-lz3of and yet we are light-years ahead of any other nation.

Your missing the entire Valkyrie drones that act as wingmen, and can launch Altius-600 drones. Also it is in no way related to the YF-23, that is a Northrop design and the new NGAD is a Lockheed design from all reports.

@@Thornbeard You can't tell this shit to people stuck on the yf 23 and the f 22 lovers won't admit both planes met specifications for the air force and to know which ever one was better is classified. Just like this guy sayin its an upgraded yf 23 when no one knows what it looks like. Its litterally in the opening of the video.

@@brandonstrife9738 yeah, well these videos are all about speculation anyways, so of course that’s going to occur in the comments. Also, I could easily see the YF-23 framework being used on the next fighter, as it’s body shape and style proved to provide some advantages that the Air Force would be crazy to ignore going forward. That’s not to say that this will be an upgraded YF-23, just that there is a good possibility that the shape of it’s body might be used as a starting point for development of this new aircraft. But, only time will tell.

I think the idea of a missile truck is an excellent one - an idea that's well overdue. But I don't think the F-15EX is the best aircraft for the job. It's just not stealthy or fast enough. I think we need something like a scaled-down, more stealthy, faster B-1 that is armed to the teeth - kind of like an oversized fighter that, in a pinch, can get down and defend itself in A2A combat.

@@stormhawk31 wtf!!!!!! The f15ex not fast enough its fuckin mach 2.5 are you insane.

Lekke aand vir jou Meneer. 😉

Probably the Pentagon has a hard on for Lockheed.

It’d be wrong not to make one and test it’s capabilities in our atmosphere… plus fitting solar panels would take a lot of electrical load off some of the craft maybe.

Already an outdated design by 50 years.

@@johnroof2663 and like observing an observation from half a century ago and believing nothing had changed. The manner of air warfare in the 60s bares little resemblance of the current era. Moreover the assertion doesn’t appreciate what the role of combat aircraft was in the 60s. There is a reason the US forces did not seek to interdict supply routes via China.

@Russell Miles I use my assessment from personal experience I'm a navy veteran Of the eighties, my dad was a Vietnam Veteran. We used to talk about things like that. The aircraft that they used during the Vietnam War were designed in the fifties And when they encountered the MIG 17 Is a very small, simple, and maneuverable fighter jet And was shooting these high Tech fighter jet out of the sky. The navy and Air Force had to rethink their Philosophy. The fact of the matter is that the F4 Phantom did not have a gun on it. Missiles in that time period were not that reliable. But you must have air superiority to be able carry out missions. Period.... Peace through power is the only way you keep the worlds tyrants at Bay.

No you dope. F-35 has been beating every fighter in Red Flag including AESA F-15E's with sniper pods. Norway F-35's also intercepted Mig-31s and Migs never saw them coming.
