You're absolutely correct in your apprehension about smart weapons, because if satellites 📡 are destroyed 🛰️ the weapons won't work at all. The nuclear missiles, ships, subs, and tanks won't be able to fire either, because they won't be able to aim and hit a target. We still have some museum ships that are analogue, but nothing commissioned. Not only that, but sea fairing vessels all switched to GPS guidance and are no longer on the old system, that taking out satellites would do a lot of damage. I like how well you analyze data; you did a great job with this video.
@@TheRedStateBlue"vote blue" probably meaning biden. First off, America is mostly a federal constitutional republic consisting of democracy and republic policies. Hell you even say it in your pledge of allegiance. Secondly, how you feeling about bidens chances at winning right now?

You have to understand that these military weapons in this video are just what the civilian population knows about. Think about the stuff we're not allowed to know. 🤯
@@DreamingVoid The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is an American strategic bomber under development for the United States Air Force (USAF) by Northrop Grumman. As part of the Long Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B) program, it is to be a long-range, stealth intercontinental strategic bomber for the USAF, able to deliver conventional and thermonuclear weapons.[2][3][4] The Air Force intends the B-21 to replace the Rockwell B-1 Lancer and Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit by 2040, and possibly the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress after that.[5]
And while I’m sure we do have some crazy shit kept on lock, the main purpose of a military ford is deterrence, so you need everyone around the world to already know what you can do and to respect that, so the gov wouldn’t want to hide all that much. *Most* of what is hidden in terms of hardware is likely just r&d that might make it into weapons and might not.
People always guess, but the U.S. spends more on military technology than most countries entire earnings. It's how the U.S. controls the planet. China is the only country that equals or out paces the U.S. financially, hope they're not secretly keeping up in military technology.
I was in desert storm. By the time our tanks got to within range of enemy tanks, they had already been burning for 4 hours. It is insane how effective HIMARs are.
It's cool seeing some of these jets and knowing that I've made parts that get assembled in the engines. Especially the F135 engine that goes in the F-35

You should definitely check out the Fat Electrician - Operation Praying Mantis. Great recap of a naval battle from the 80s. Interesting and funny. Happy 4th!
Stealth technology was made possible by a mathematical paper published by a sovjet. It was the basis for how to calculate radar cross section. His name is Pyotr Ufimtsev and he's stll alive.
@@bluflaam777 We got the idea for the turbine engine we use for the Abram from them but they abandoned it. They come up with interesting concepts but details cannot be worked out with stubbornness and vodka.
We now have two operational ford class carriers in the waters and a brand new ship to replace some other ships in the fleet. The ford class is a behemoth but adds a new laser defense system to stop missiles and small boats. The ford class also was completely redesigned on the interior to allow ammunition to bypass a lot of the halls directly into the main hangar. The kitchen was also redesigned to be easily supplied by its own corridor. The plane launch system was completely overhauled from a steam launcher to an electro magnetic launcher, it’s similar to how maglev trains work. It’s very efficient and there’s still room for upgrades if they want. It’s the current pinnacle of military engineering.
I was an F15E crew chief for 15 years. Nothing can beat it, not even these newfangled jets. Seen a crop of 8 F-22 fighters taxi down to EOR during a Red Flag years back…two of them barely made it up into the sky. The others broke and got towed back to their spots before takeoff. Never was impressed…but I did watch the backseater in my jet at a Maple Flag put a guided bomb through a three foot hole from 20 miles out while the jet was in an inverted dive…
I love the F15E Strike Eagle. I live a few miles northwest of Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro North Carolina where F15E Strike Eagles are flown by the 4th Fighter Wing. Base is also the main training base for F15E Strike Eagles. I see the F15E flying overhead on a regular basis.
You should react to the Fat Electrician's videos on the F15 Eagle and the A-10 Thunderbolt 2 aka the warthog!! He has a lot of military videos from different jobs to military history. I think you'd enjoy them!!
The B-2 Spirit still holds the World record for the longest airstrike in history. During GWOT a B-2 took off from Whiteman AFB in Missouri . The non-stop mission struck targets in Afghanistan flew to Diego Garcia changed crew's and flew back to Whiteman AFB. The United States Air Force previously shattered their old record. During Desert Shiled B-52s flew from Barksdale, AFB in Louisiana struck targets in Iraq then flew back to Louisiana.
How long does it take from the US port to get to the Japanese port? I don't like the Navy as Ships on the water are a slow form of transport compared to airplanes. I bet it would take a Week of sailing to travel to Japan or 2 weeks or so.
I worked on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier Eisenhower, they're so much bigger than you'd think just from seeing a video of them. And you don't even fully understand just how crazy big they are until you've lived on one for a bit.
you should do some reactions to the fat electrician, hes the history teacher we all wish we had, funny and entertaining storyteller, he has many videos on American history with a few special cases
Hi Blu, I like your new logo, change is good sometimes and this is one of them. Don't forget to buy a box of missile red white and blu pops, so festive for today. I had frozen yogurt at the Yogurt Mill, $6.00 for an extra large half classic chocolate, half chocolate vanilla swirl. So nom. Had a pancake breakfast at church too. Are you lighting fireworks this year? Not me. Have a great evening Blu. This video reminded me of Top Gun.
2:15 The math behind stealth was actually worked out by a Russian. The Soviets saw no value in it and let him discuss it freely. The angular, almost jagged look of the F117 was like that because computers of the era could not crunch the numbers for stealthy rounded surfaces. The B2 is an advancement of computer power more than actual steslth tech
you want the really scary thought. All of these scary things the US has against their enemies. Right now and for the last 3 years has been at the fingertips of a potato that can't remember what he ate for breakfast. THAT's the ultimate scary thought.
Didn’t knew that you thought about joining the airforce at a time, it’s their loss you didn’t but it’s our gain, because now you create quality content for us. Thanks ❤
I'm pretty sure almost every one thinks about joining at on point or another. I thought about being a millionaire when I was little but I decided living paycheck to paycheck was more my style 😒
its common misconception that nukes they dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the most devestating weapons, it was actually fire bombs that caused much more casualties and damage to infrastructure.
First time seeing you as a red-head. Looks good on you! Had an older red-head make a believer out of me just after Navy boot camp in 1980 at 17. Loved them ever since.
One of the most frightening weapons in the US arsenal to me are the scatter pack anti personnel bombs, where either a fighter jet or bomber drops a few of them onto a target and just a few meters above the ground their warheads deploy multiple smaller bombs which explode in a scattered pattern. Any group of enemy combatants standing underneath gets torn to shreds. Don't know the exact name of this weapon, but I do remember seeing an old clip of a test demonstration.
Wait til you see the new ones. Lol The X-59 is supersonic and even the sonic boom is only as loud as a vacuum cleaner. Then the SR-72. It can go Mach 6, and has an actual laser for a weapon.
Despite the war evolving over the last 3 decades almost all the conflicts have something in common, air and artillery superiority is the key. Precision guided munitions are not cost effective solution in a prolonged period of time conflict. Despite fpv drones and ew artillery still the king of the modern battlefield.
A Navy recruiter once stopped me when I had gone back to my high school to pick up some records. He put things into a different perspective for me. He pointed out that 95% of America's firepower is her nuclear weapons. Of the nuclear weapons 70% are concentrated into the Navy. The majority of the Navy's nuclear weapons are carried aboard submarines. I, then, realized where a nation truly needs their best and brightest.
We have way way more then 400 icbms. Colin Powell a few years back said we had over 30000 I believe that's the number and when it kinda went viral he had to backtrack bcuz they don't want anyone to know how many we have
You can improve retention of information simply by showing interest. If not, in my first semester of college I took a class over how to remember things, take notes and study. The class wasn't credited but I don't regret taking the class, I always had the best grades.
This video is old news.. the ford class carriers are already scrapped and being replaced. And most of the nimitz class carriers are decommissioned. We are close to 2 tiers of development past this video
9:17 Your thinking of circumference. A diameter is a line segment that passes through the center and its endpoints are on the circumference of a circle. The circumference of the Earth is 24,901mi.
Why USA is the only country you would rather be Nuked by: during all of the experimental testing, US scientists have found an upper-limit to nuclear-yields, discovering isotopic-payloads any larger is essentially throwing away military-grade-resources, since it doesn't fizzle with the rest & just flies-off in the explosion, unspent, becoming expensive fallout; so USA use multiple tiny efficient warheads that produce almost no radioactive fallout into the surroundings.
I like how you have variety of reactions, this is one that everyone overlooks. The US military is a formidable adversary. I'm a navy veteran, i served on 3 aircraft carriers and it's a force to be recognized, and we can fit a lot more than 70 aircraft on those...trust me.

Stealth is misunderstood. You don't have to be invisible to all radar-and that's virtually impossible against any modern adversary. You have to break the kill chain from detection to missile lock to splash down and all the steps in between, if you can disrupt that chain they can't touch you.
Actually the newest jewel in the crown is the SR-72 brand new off the research table. It was nicknamed Darkstar for its impossible to detect nature. This plane is a direct descendant of the legendary SR-71 blackbird spy plane that could operate on the edge of the atmosphere. The SR-72 can actually fly in space and do missions that its predecessor could not. It’s also a lot faster going at least 4 times the speed of sound compared to the blackbird’s Mach 1. The SR 71 is currently in Washington DC at the air and space museum but also at the museum of aviation in Ohio I believe.
Genuinely curious who you work for to know that since Lockheed itself says the SR-72 is just a design proposal with no fully functional prototypes bare even service. Someone watched Top Gun Maverick and thought it was a documentary didn't they?
@@alexion2001 nope it’s from the legendary Skunk works as a Black Project. I only know of it because someone released a copy of the prints and a mock-up model. The blueprints detailed the capabilities of the plane what exactly it could do. The prints were released anonymously so not to be traced but it was around the middle of the pandemic as everyone was too busy to notice. I was going through lost media websites to find a lost documentary but stumbled across the prints on a 4chan post. Plus the fact several RU-vidrs already posted videos about it, try mega projects or others search sr 72.
FYI, Irag tried to fight us. After 3 days of bombing the army surrendered in mass, we also destroyed 90% of its armour. The biggest threat now are the small kamkizi drones that are very effective at destroying armour
“wdym their already eliminated 🎮👽 ….Sara Milliken wants a divorce and a transfer to another super carrier boyfriend, I’ll nickname him Goose….his geneology should come from the John Minuteman III family tree, if California still has them”
Actually a carrier is plain impossible to sink on its own. It’s designed in such a way that it can easily tank damage. It can take a direct missile hit without sinking. A decade ago a carrier was to be turned into an artificial reef and it was hit by all American guns and missiles plus it was good practice for every sailor on board. Not a single piece of ammunition sunk it at all, it remained floating even heavily damaged the ship refused to sink. It took a demolition team six hours to place explosives below the waterline and blow holes to finally sink the carrier. It taught sailors a lot of vital lessons about how to fight and what to do next.
I bet a Nuclear torpedo could destroy a US aircraft carrier. The Poseidon (Russian: Посейдон, "Poseidon", GRAU index 2M39, NATO reporting name Kanyon), previously known by Russian codename Status-6 (Russian: Статус-6), is an autonomous, nuclear-powered unmanned underwater vehicle reportedly in production by Rubin Design Bureau, capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear warheads.[1][5][6] The Poseidon is one of the six new Russian strategic weapons announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 1 March 2018.[7] The Poseidon warhead can contaminate a large area with radiation. For this purpose, the Poseidon is speculated to be equipped with a cobalt bomb.[21][22] The Poseidon could be a radiological second strike weapon.[23][24] Normal (not salted) thermonuclear weapons cause radioactive fallout primarily through neutron activation of material at the detonation site. Unless the detonation happens at low depths in shallow waters, an underwater detonation will have its fallout greatly reduced, except for at the surface immediately above, near the base surge. Much of the radioactivity will be deposited in the sea, and be carried by ocean currents.[25] Water (and air) will not form radioisotopes suitable for radiological warfare when neutron activated, however the seawater-salt will, and the seabed may. If used against an aircraft carrier battle group, the battle group would have reduced chances of defending itself against it. The drone could detonate its very large warhead at standoff range, and anti-submarine warfare units would have very little time to react because of the speed at which it travels.[26]
