Canard’s downwash reduces the effective angle of attack of the wing. This reduces lift. On the other hand, the canards tip vortex supplies a ‘fence’ that inhibits span-wise flow on the wing,an idea similar to a leading edge dog tooth. This keeps the wing flying at greater AoA. Optimizing canard control thru all flight regimes …a challenge to say the least! The U.S. tail heavy approach must have some advantages. Likely it’s just a trade of preferences. But considering the F15 kill ratio is what? 120 to 0 U.S. must be doing something right. Cheers

Might as well send them to Ukraine, if we're not issuing them any longer. Get them out of inventory.

A common saying in the army in the early 80s when i carried the 60. The 1st guy shot in an ambush is the guy carrying the 60. The second guy shot is the guy who goes to try and pick it up. A testament to the damage that weapon could inflict.

Loved the M-60... Carried the pig when I was with the 9th Infantry Division in the early 80s'....One Bad Ass Gun 💣💥🔥

American engineers have never been able make them work.

At this rate, the RN will be known as a coastal defense force😂

The M60 was a good weapon. It did have a tendency to overheat but as a door gun on our Hueys (UH1`s) it was great especially on our utility gunships. The airflow past the aircraft cooled then so effectively that you could bear down and fire them the way they do in the movies.

I think it’s important to remember that there are plenty of ships coming in about 2-10 years, which will replace the ships we just lost and even more

Catobar on the carriers will soak up much of these funds.

F14 was simply a better airplane, and the latter upgrades made it faster too. Navy dropped the ball cos an F21(14 upgrade) be still flying today

I remember in the late 70s the government canceled the aircraft carrier program 1982 Falklands invaded A seaborne Taskforce of ships to retake the islands ships, helicopter carriers, logistics & no fast jet supremacy. ENGLAND had the Harrier Jump jet A the sea Harrier operated of the HMS Invincible Helicopter Carrier 2 % GDP year ? Is that all ENGLAND Past GOVZ's Think our saftey worth Most of our Harrier's Are given to USA in there own AV8 B's When we sell our industry's where's the money now & why They call us Tier 2 We say who's what England still rule's This Mud ball We linked it up And and gave us all A Industrial Revolution Everything you have today relates back a development from UK all started HERE

Canards are a cheap fix, like training wheels.

Have to laugh in the 80's carried a 60 that was as old as I was. Oh the 240 is the mag58 made by FN the powers that be did not want any of the foreign guns so they chose the 60 in the 60's lol.

Maybe they foresee a possible need to reactivate retirees? 😮

Bots cracking jokes about canards being an obsolete and odd european habit while lets take a look at the most credible F/A-XX shapes😂😂 (it most likely will have canards)

Here's an idea... repeal the NFA and sell them to the public... one per customer at a starting price of $200.00 each...

4:07 …See the blank casings!!!

The problem with the M60 was bad maintenance. Never being cleaned and untrained users.

Because 5.56 is useless.

The UK would save even more money if they just scrapped the armed forces.

The M60E6 is a completely different beast than the old M60E4. They went all in on modernizing and ended up making a lighter and more reliable weapon than the M240B. This is why the US Army wants them. It's also possible they're using them as helicopter door guns.

I think the video misses the point that by scrapping unsustainable ships they free up much needed funds for new vessels and redistribute crew to other ships to keep them active and experienced. I agree that its risky but there are already replacement programs well under way for all the ships that wil be decommissioned. And the view that Labour is solely responsible for gutting the Royal Navy is just untrue. Lest we forget it was Thatcher that was severely cutting defence spending. The only reason that they turned back on that was because of a sudden war with Argentina, if not for that the Tories and Thatcher they would have done away with some of the carries as well. And in recent times when the Tories would do away with one of the new Queen Elizabeth carriers because of the budget cuts they enacted.

That leaves America with 98% of the burden. What is UK spending money on? Oh, locking up journalists, thought crime, welfare for immigrants, extra police.

A machine gun firing “automatically” is not a defect…and from what I’ve read and heard from vets they absolutely loved them! Every gun has its issues sure, U just never heard much about the M60.

Additionally the fleet replenishmnt ships and landing ships will be sold. Again why u cry about a UK Naval presence as significant is stupid along with war mongering wtf are u on about

Idk sounds prudent considering the true UK def posture as part of a team in Europe. Any foreign adventures will only be in conjunction with allies not unilateral

"No aircraft in USAF ever featured canards." What a load of rubbish. B-1B bombers do.

Hang on. The last Labour Goverment under Gordon Brown, ordered the Elezabeth Clase carries. And retained the invisible carries. Torry under John major tried to counced the Elizabeth class carries. But vould not due to contract penalties. The Torries, also scrapped the remaining Harries. ( Labour counselled the sea harries. Great plane with a fantastic pocket radar).

What’s next? Bringing back the Browning M1919A4 and A6?

Why f-14 had retractable canards?

WWIII is on the door step. That is the reason for the weapon renewal. I would argue that WWI never ended leading into WWII. WWII, while us being told it was over, just shifted to new enemies that were before working together. The US was infiltrated, Government, Schools and Industry. Not long ago they felt confident enough to show themselves. The FBI seems to have changed their opinion and policy on Communism especially with the election of Obama. They, our fearless leaders of the world, have established a world religion of sorts with going green, a one world language with ones and zeros, digital, and almost a one world currency, again digital. Pretty much all is left is that one world leader to come. Kind of reminds one of the Babylonian story doesn't it? Advise from an old man is be prepared both in physical and spiritual terms. It will be a rough road ahead.

I think you forget that there is this dude in the east that want to rule the world, or at least some of it. Labour can not ignore this. Should the Russian guy do anything aggressive against EU, I think UK would be first, so I hope Labour do not get cheap on the Royal Navy.

Good info spoiled by the poor AI voice construction - 'M-K V' should read 'Mark Five' (re: Tempest), the V as most of us know is the Roman numeral for five. I'm sure ai has it's place somewhere but to be truly intelligent, it needs some education on English abbreviations. This is becoming an increasing nuisance on otherwise useful commentaries, surely you can get a real human to speak for 16 minutes without breaking the bank and, incidentally, provide a little employment?

Ukes ain't gonna pay shit.

Old school M-60 gunner here. The "pig" is a serious weapon if you know how to use it in a firefight. Have to know when to change out the barrel though.

M-60 E-3 Marine 0331.

Ummm. A machine gun is supposed to fire “automatically.” That’s the very definition of a machine gun.

First of all we have a metric f ton of old m60s 240s are reaching the end of their service life an m60s that have barely been fired locked away in armory's just need to be rebuilt and m60s properly rebuilt like the late Gen e series are very very good and more importantly lighter than a 240 Ohio ordinance does an exemplary job of this

WHY DOESN'T CANADA PURCHASE SOME OF THESE SHIPS. P.S. THEY PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. (I TRULY THINK SO).

Drone bait

All that stuff you said about the M60 is a load of horse hooey. The first GPMG adopted by the US military was the BAR in WWII. The M60 was very reliable with minimum malfunctions, as long as you took proper care of it, like any other gun or weapons system, and was very well liked by the troops. I carried one for two years and I loved that gun. I would choose an M60 over a 240 or any other newer GP MG or SAW. And, the M60 was never taken fully out of service. It has remained in limited and specialized use with several upgrades over the years. If it's not clear to you why the military would order these M60s with upgrades, then you have no business attempting to make this video.

If you use canards forplanes with delta wings it says much safer at slower speeds & landing Otherwise landings a lot faster changing landing distance the French Rafale they use on aircraft carriers and our Eurofighter Typhoon not a naval aircraft

Another good addition to South American navies.

The UK Navy will turn over to FAT Boats or Fast Attack Tugs. These will be Ocean Going Tugs armed with a small cannon forward and a few missiles in the rear. These tugs can travel up to 15 knots and can operate for 20-30 days without refueling.

Nothing to do with conservative thinking by the decision makers or the influence of the 'not invented here' syndrome then? I'm sure someone will correct me but isn't it nigh on impossible to stall an aircraft with horizontal canard control surfaces? The comment, about them being good radar reflectors is specious, they're just little wings, if they can design main wings to be stealthy they can design canards to be stealthy also!

Yes please make a video about the woke morons in the UK destroying the military and the country!

"Because we build em jets properly, sonni!"

In five years time, or four years and six months or something like that the UK will have it's Trump moment and all three main parties, Tory, Labour and Liberal who have all become to a greater or lesser extent liberal left globalist international capitalists parties, will loose power that not even in coalition will they be able to form a government. The Reform Party will win most seats in parliament and usher in at least of decade of national capitalism and a repatriation of power to Westminster Parliament away from quangos, liberal international treaties and the supreme court. Devolution to the regional provinces will be undone and law making responsibility will be solely in Westminster parliament with MPs elected from the regions. And when this happens the Royal Navy and the British supply chain supporting it will be reinstated. Twenty four frigates and destroyers at least, a dozen submarines at least, two fleet aircraft carriers operating British designed and built aircraft, at least two assault carriers, two assault ships and the return of a fleet of manned mine hunter ships. Defence spending as a share of GPD will rise to 3 to 4 percent and overseas development will be renamed overseas aid and have the remit of development removed from its scope of work. The age of empire has gone and it is not the place of the UK to develop other countries, take note Cameron! The way the UK economy works will change too with an end to the low wage low skill open border liberal globalist dogma of fifty years and the UK will reindustrialise and become a manufacturing and science powerhouse once again. The feminisation of the culture and economy of the UK will end and the country will regain its sense of identity and purpose with young people incentivised to have nuclear families with child biith encouraged by the state and immigration capped to cover minimal genuine asylum cases only. Economic migrants and illegal migrants will be returned to their home countries within 12 months of entry to the UK with any laws or treaties preventing this abolished. The current situation is not sustainable and has NO democratic mandate.

They are so powerful this weapons

These 70 ton MBT behemoths are obsolete dinosaurs. The Ukraine war has amply demonstrated their vulnerability. The M2 Bradley has become the star of the show in Ukraine as it routinely punches way above it's weight. This mirrors it's deadly performance in Desert Storm. The Bradley is lighter, more agile and easier to transport and maintain than the Abrams. State of the art targeting systems leverage the Bradley's offensive capabilities. MBTs in general are like Battle ships in WWII Pearl Harbor upset the navy's obsession with battle ships and forcefully established the new paradigm that aircraft carriers would lead the way. The Bradley is revered for its ability to protect it's 'crew when hit The 25 mm chain gun has even taken out Russia's vaunted T90.
