Engliand is finished. There will be no new fighters. There isnt the resources in GB to heat the homes of pensioners. Russia has the good military stuff, and in industrial quantities, for the foreseeable future.
It is not "The Royal British Air Force" Wild Iron. It is "The Royal Air Force" (RAF). It was the first independent airforce in the world, having been founded on 1st April 1918, hence there is no need to put the word "British" in the title. 😃

I’ll believe the production of this plane when I see it. The TSR2 was considered to be a world beating design and Harold Wilson’s Labour government cancelled it. Everyone involved with the plane was disgusted and disheartened, to say the least. Every time the UK a does something outstanding our governments either cancel it or act the poodle and do what the USA wants us to do. Eric Laithwaite’s levitating linear motor train was another case of the government shying off, claiming it was costing too much to develop. Subsequently, billions upon billions have been wasted on because of government incompetence but that doesn’t matter does it?
@@jimmartin156 yes I’d forgotten about Blue Streak. You probably know more than me about it but its detractors claimed that because it had to be launched from fixed positions, it was militarily inadequate. However, it launched 11 times with no mishaps so could’ve at least been used to launch satellites and formed the basis of a British space programme. It shows how shortsighted the government of the time was. Typically Britain bought ended up buying nuclear missiles from USA instead.
That said... Lots of lessons were learnt... And Rolls Royce re engining the whole B52 fleet.... And the missiles bought had Btitish warheads... And we uprated the US Sparrow missile into The Skyflash
@@jimmartin156 Blue streak itself, although interesting, was unsuitable. It was developed into something called Europa but in the end was just not powerful enough for its intended use as a satelite launcher.
Never ever discount the Brits. The TSR 2 should never heve been dropt, if it had been fully developed it would have been one of the greatest fighter bombers ever. I have no dought, if it is allowed to be fully devleloped, this new aircraft will be up here with the very best.
Wrong. The TSR2 was very vulnerable to interception even though it flew low. It also took far too long to get to its target. SLBMs are far superior and the correct decision was made.

The USA is a country, that's completely turned into the modern day Nazi USA. You all think believing your own government's lies, and these really poor attempts at propaganda, is the right thing to do? And all you've done is make yourselves the enemy of the entire world, including the UK and Europe. We want nothing to do with you people any more, you are the real enemy today. Only you really are by far, and easily the least educated society we have ever seen or ever experienced before, seriously, so uneducated you don't even understand you're ALL only being traitors against yourselves and every one of us. This is exactly what a lack of any reasonable education does to societies. There is only one thing at fault, today, guess what it is? It is entirely 100%, you American people yourselves! And when I say "ALL"? I mean all! I'm not tarnishing anything or anyone. I am, only, speaking the truth. And when you're speaking the truth?, no matter if you're the only one speaking the truth, as you'll always be right, while the rest, (regardless of how many), will always be wrong. Truth only... There is something very seriously wrong with you American people today, honestly, there must be something mentally wrong with you all! And I say this with every right, and with every damn reason, (least of which is, it's only the truth), because, in 2015, Russia exposed the US government (to all of you American people), and to the entire world, for supporting terrorists in Syria, and that forced the US government, (to admit to all of you American people) and the whole world, that they had recruited - trained - armed - supplied - protected - paid - and used, brutal terrorists, the “Free Syria Army”, in Syria, (sorry, these Americans like the term "moderate" head chopping so-called rebels), it's only terrorists to the rest of this world, my mistake. Yet not one of you Americans, has ever condemned it?, not one of you has done the right thing, and stood up against it, or even protested against it, demanding it stops, (as every other society on earth, would be doing, if any of our governments were forced to admit what the USA admitted). - We'd all be out on the streets in the millions bringing our countries to a standstill, if any of our governments had admitted what the US government has. It just seems that all of you Americans today, feel that's below you all, or something just as cowardly, idiotic, and self-righteous, I guess, those lives, just don't matter?. In fact, the truth is, far from seeing anyone of them protest against it?, what is the reality, what have we really seen? We've seen millions of them cheering their criminal presidents, and we've seen millions of them chanting USA USA USA, (just like the Nazi's of the 30s). And we have never seen a single American, stand up against it, let alone start demanding it stops. Why not? 2018, Teresa May announces British strikes on Syria, within 3 hours, literally hundreds of thousands of people are stood outside Parliament protesting against it. 2018, Emmanuel Macron announces French strikes on Syria, later that evening in Paris, hundreds of thousands of people are protesting against it. 2015, Russia exposes the USA to the American people and the entire world for supporting and supplying terrorists in Syria, and still, 9 years later, man! Not one American has even condemned it, let alone protested against it! It's like you American people don't even know, or understand, the only society we've ever seen do what you all are today, (throughout modern history), an entire society not even bother to protest against their own government's admitted criminal murder and killing of innocent people, (once the people found out), was indeed, Nazi Germany 1933-1945? That's the only time in modern history the people of any society, have done what you American people are today. This is just another truth, another truth, that seems to be forgotten today, but what was the most asked question after WW2, a question asked all the way into the early 1980s? "Why did the German people do nothing"? What's worse, is, we can understand today, why the German people did what they did, they were starving to death with the harshness of the Versailles treaty, and dying in large numbers during the great depression, so quite naturally, they'd of supported absolutely anything that offered them hope! You Americans have no such excuse. This is the biggest problem facing us all today, it is the biggest problem the rest of us have ever faced in our lifetimes - All of you incredibly uneducated, propaganda swallowing and believing, American people yourselves, don't know, or even understand, right, from wrong any more! You clearly, and without any doubt at all, have no morals, and as for any kind of understanding of ethics?, you're joking, you'd all need to look up what ethics are! Truth will always come out, and it must always, come out, and the undeniable truth today, is, it's you American people yourselves, who are all, 100% at fault, and entirely responsible for all of this today. Because it's up to all of you to stand up and start demanding your government stops all of this! Nobody else can do that, only you people can! - But the huge problem we all have, and we all face today, is, that none of you uneducated, and extremely cowardly fools will do a thing. What don't you all understand? It really does all come down to morals, ethics, and a reasonable education, (three things you're all so clearly missing today). But we all must understand right from wrong above all else, right?. We should also all understand the importance of truth, right?. Only any truth today is, just like swearing, not allowed! Truth is easily the most unfashionable thing in the US today, those people really do hate truth, yet the truth is all anyone should really care about. And again, clearly many of you are only uneducated sheep, who don't even understand basic principles, principles like... "When you're speaking the truth, no matter if you're the only one speaking the truth, you'll always be right, while the others, (regardless of how many), will always be wrong". None of you even understand that simple fact, and basic principle, man! How dumb does one need to be, to not even understand that? And it is this extreme lack of any reasonable education that sees you people today, unbelievably thinking that supporting your own country and government (no matter what), is the patriotic thing to do? Really, quite incredibly, this is exactly what you American people really think, it must be! Only, that's not patriotism at all? It's not even close to being patriotism, but it is the complete opposite of patriotism, It's treason and It's outright treachery. So why are you all only being traitors against yourselves? You see, this really is that lack of education I'm pointing out! None of you are patriots at all, because you clearly don't have a clue what patriotism actually is! And that's just astonishing ignorance. You're all traitors, and traitors against yourselves and traitors against all other societies on earth today, is the truth! And all because, as I'm proving, you really have become the modern day Nazi society. To the rest of the world, when you've found out your own government is doing wrongs to other countries and their people, then being 100% (against) your country and government, is known as being patriotic and even more patriotic than it is when proudly supporting and praising your country for doing something good, something helpful, or something right. Because when you do know, and you have found out, that your own government is doing, or has done wrongs to, or against other countries and their people? To then support it, or to ignore it, or even worse, to deny it, is only committing treason against one's own country! No patriot would ever support his country (when he knew his country was doing wrongs to others in the world), because doing so, would be, in effect, the same as supporting the corruption, supporting the terrorism, supporting the brutal murder of innocent people, and supporting their own government breaking International law! And that's no different from supporting their very own country's demise! And guess what? That's known as treachery! Not patriotism! EDUCATION! Basic principles! The (people), of any society, only ever need to remember that the easiest way to figure out the right from the wrong? (in any likely oncoming or future war scenario), is to just ask yourself what you'd be fighting for? Because it's the answer to that question, that should always be showing you whose right, and whose wrong. For example, if the American just asked themselves, that if, the USA went to war today, against either Russia or China? What would you all be fighting for? Then ask themselves what the Russians or the Chinese would be fighting for? They'd come to find, that both the Russians and the Chinese would be fighting for their freedom, and fighting for their own country's freedom! While they'd only be fighting for attempted American tyranny, (and that's no different from Nazi Tyranny). How Ironic! That's what they're all supporting today, and if they really can't see that?, well, all I can say to that, is, the Nazis were just like that, they all claimed they couldn't see it either! They'll all be seen by history, as the Axis powers, trying for American Tyranny over the rest of the world. While the Russians, the Chinese, and much of the rest of this world, will all be seen by history as the allied powers, fighting against this clear attempted American tyranny, and fighting for their own freedom. That's just more of that good old thing, known as truth and reality.

A strong UK ??? Does this take into consideration all the terrorists walking right through our front door and handed free housing and food to be able to plan our downfall ????
I am inclined to agree being British, I think we still have values and principles that are a benefit to all peoples of the free world and less progressive countries.
The R.A.F. was the 1st proclaimed Air Force in the World being officially established on 1st April 1918. It is therefore unique not only as the 1st Air Force in the World but also is the only Air Force that does not depict it's Country in it's Title... it is THE "Royal Air Force'" simply and solely. Only those commentators who's knowledge and research is sadly lacking are unaware of the FACTS/TRUTH. Leads one to wonder how accurate their general comments on an array of Subjects are believable.
I'm actually stoked about this. This is the nation that, in my opinion, created arguably the best WWII fighter, next to the Corsair and P40 (sorry Mustang fans, but that plane was overhyped. The US's best were the Corsair and P40 lol). If you look at its every curve it's like a flying leaf. The nice sweep in the wings etc. The only issue it had was range. I hope RR decides to call the engines Merlin engines again lol
The P40 Warhawk (called the Tomahawk by some of the allies using it) was actually designed by Britain but asked the Americans (North American Aviation) to build it. America then, for want of a better word “upgraded” it and out popped the P51 Mustang.
@@grantwalker4859 I think the original tempest was powered by the sabre engine, which I believe was one of the most powerful engines of its type at the time! It was actually quite a work of art, I saw one at a museum a few months back. The Merlin is of course still one of the most iconic engines of all time!
It would be nice to think that we could build a world beating fighter jet but look at the mess the UK gets in when we try to build something simple like a Railway line it makes me sad to think that the country that I was born in over 70 years ago has sunk so low.
The 'Railway' was an EU/Blair/Labour folly and, just like most things touched by Government thinking, created a 'In for a penny, in for a pound' mentality - else scrapping it would led to equal, if not more, criticism. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, if you would. The Cons were right to scrap it, I've worked on it, a lumbering beast just gobbling dosh (and lovely countryside) up left, right and centre.
Fortunately the gvt are just paying for it n it’s other companies building but a do agree 100% if this was the British gvt building this the spitfire would still be our best fighters lol 😂
All gone on keeping immigrants, sending money to other countries while some brits are homeless and wasting billions on unnecessary lock downs. Britain unfortunately is a failing nation all down to left wing stupidity.
So far, Italy, Sweden, Japan and the United Kingdom on board, with The Netherlands, Norway and Australia are joining. It will spread the technology development around and the cost. Imagine the quality of Stealth Fighter the West could have if the work could be shared with all of the NATO countries capable of building parts for it. That includes the US. We are allies, after all.
From what I have see in what Britain has been able to do (especially in Ukraine) with all that international talent it should be well within our capacity to produce such an outstanding aeroplane. If it inspires our allies to up their game to make the skies a lot safer then so much the better.
England cant frak its own countryside, build its own power-stations or warships. There is no way English are going to get this one done. It will cost billions in borrowed money before it is cancelled of course.
More disgruntled nonsense from a knuckle dragger - The UK owns and operates eight nuclear power stations and are building a new one at Hinkley Point C in Somerset. In addition, we are jointly developing other new build proposals with CGN, with EDF leading on Sizewell C in Suffolk, and CGN leading on Bradwell B in Essex. As of February 2023, the following major vessels are under construction: The final two of seven Astute-class submarines; the first three of four Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines, the first four of eight Type 26 frigates; and two of the five Type 31 frigates. Like most of Europe fracking is currently banned. This is on environmental grounds and has nothing whatsoever to do with technical ability. Now run along and don't return until you manage to gain a D at First Grade. ps. After the USA and China, the UK is the largest arms manufacturer in the world (Arms Sales: $26.39 billion).
Regarding nuclear power the UK was a world leader but lack of orders for new power stations has led to a loss of expertise and now we have to run to the French and Chinese to build them for us.@@imwelshjesus
Many years ago, it was professed that small nations would only afford owning one of these hyper expensive aircraft. It seems unlikely that anyone could afford what is on offer. What a crazy World we are creating!
@@lucianorosarelli-xr5lr yeah but the US has a very large defence and Space industry it has to keep employed. thats why it has enemies rather than rivals -you have to hoodwink the voters. I think the future will be drones and unmanned aircraft to a large degree with less reliance on 6th generation fighers.
Great to see that we have cut loose the French and Germans from this development. The French would claim everything good was theirs and everything bad someone else's fault, whilst the German's seem to have lost all technical leadership and have not been good at Innovation for a long time. I have a lot more faith in the partners we have on board, Sweden, Italy and Japan to deliver this project on time, on budget and on spec.
Especially Japan, where careers are ended publicly if you fail to deliver on time and within budget. I only wish our UK governments held huge corporations to account in such a fashion, I suspect things would just get done. As it is, our governments see huge public spending projects as a way to syphon funds out of government for it to partially be returned into the pockets of politicians.
WWII Tempest never replaced Typhoon. Typhoon wasn't up to the job as interceptor/fighter, but found its niche as a tactical fighter. Tempest was a redesign, thin wing, aero dynamic work etc it was perhaps the best low level fighter of WWII.
If it is left to England it will cost five times what they say it will. Will take three times longer than they say it will and will be cancelled just after it flies.
Totally agree we are a nation of Inventors but the government don't back the ideas so we sell it abroad and buy it back later once in production for double when will we learn
gb or uik and italy are the only european nation who made a coalition in partnership for built a new airplane, Typhone, actualy it made the same backbone of his air force.
Great fighter! 👍 It would be beneficial if US could learn cost discipline from this project. Noticeable is the inclusion of hypersonic and laser weaponry that the US has been working on for years.
Most military developments are obsolete by the time they are deployed. That is irrelevant because everything else military will have similar obsolescence. All that will have happened is that by the time something is deployed the technology and plans for something better will have crystallised.
Not only has wild iron got it wrong about the UK being the only nuclear weapons power in the EU, it also doesn't seem to know about the involvement of Bae Systems in many of the US High tech weapons system development programs, including rail guns and stealth tech.
Hope this concept is able to become reality.However the way the government dithers ( HS2 for example) and with cost escalation I remain sceptical. The US. will also do its utmost to preserve its dominance in this field and will do anything in its power to get the thing cancelled ( as with many British potentially world beating projects in the past) so it can continue a virtual monopoly in the Western Allied Arms sphere. They way things are going, we will probably end up buying a 6th gen aircraft off the shelf from the US. But I hope I'm wrong.
I'm old enough to remember many, many UK rocket and fighter projects that simply ran into budgetary sand. The TSR2 possibly the most infamous. The decision to develop a manned fighter seem strange. All that weight and constraint on performance (no nasty accelerations) to keep the little squishy driver alive! Look rather to cheap, unmanned, fully autonomous air defense systems. This thing would be useless for close ground support. No opponent will bother with a manned solution to a (possibly nonexistent) problem.
Whilst every citizen is stuggling to live,i know weve got to have a deterrent from all the despots in the world ,unless the goverment know something we dont ?
Folks really need to use that thing between their ears instead of being parrots reading STUPID scripts. "...in the midst of World War II when the Hawker Tempest fighter jet joined the fight against Nazi air and ground forces..." SO that plane sure looks like a conventional Prop driven by a piston engine. HOW DUMB can you get. It's easy history to read and write into a correct and meaningful script but instead someone failed to engage that grey matter between their ears. That being said, it's hard to believe or trust the rest of this video. Too bad because I know the Brits and Scandinavian aircraft factories CAN produce some excellent planes, but this story is not something I would ever consider trustworthy since the can't even get the lead in script right.
Hawker Tempest Jet, in WW2? Look closley, there is a paddle wheel on the front. How are you supposed to take something seriously with such a stupidly obvious mistake?
Now The UK Are Our Friends, However, Ya Have To HAVE "The Ground" Before You Can Give It Up. And CONSTRUCTING a Sixth Generation Military Jet Is A LOT Less Of A Task Than Flying It! Thats Really Where The US Military MOPS THE FLOOR! ALL Other Countries INCLUDING China, Russia, North Korean, Iran etc.... ARE ABSOLUTELY DWARFED! BY THE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY TRAINING WE GIVE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ARMED FORCES - D W A R F E D! When You Go To Work Everyday? SO DO THEY! FULL TIME! 365 DAYS A YEAR! LAND, SEA, AIR and SPACE!
It's High time that The UK along with it's Partners produce Something That will Blow Everything Else out of the Water It Has always able to build such Incredible Things But as Usual the Financial Situation in the UK is Not the Best Hence having to Include Partners But I'm sure It will be a Huge Success.
0:47 Does this look like a 'fighter Jet'? 0:43 One that 'joined the fight against Nazi air and ground services' in WW2???? From this side view, you can see its evolution from the Bi Planes that very shortly preceded it in the 1930's. Why is an American AI voice over, with a second rate inaccurate script, allowed to even discuss this British Engineering Masterpiece?
Started when 2017!!! Hopefully will be finished in 2035!!! That’s 18 years. From design, prototype to manufacturing them in the Second World War was literally a couple of years. Just like Jacob Rees Mogg said a while back, “A hundred years ago the HS2 rail track would of been built within a year or two not decades” that’s actually quite concerning.
A hundred years ago the railways were merely extensions of agricultural technology. Modern high tech that actually moves is vastly more complex than Victorian railways and that is why it takes a long time. By the way, victorian railway companies went bankrupt for a pastime.
Steve Harris of iron maiden wrote the mad man's play on word's and make us all dance to they're song to the tune of staving millions to make a better gun that was 1982 and we've learnt nothing.
Britain has always been in the vanguard of innovation….. but, a lack of focus (the MOD) and a lack of money means most never get beyond a prototype. A part from the US the UK and the West have to partner up to get these things in the sky.
Full development of this aircraft is going to cost tens if not hundreds of billions (C.f. the F35 which has 20% UK input). In order to proceed the UK needs seceral partners and a huge number of sales. Selling to just the RAF and the Japanese Self Defence Force is nothing like enough. Getting this far has been relatively easy.
Yes, the lesson learned from TSR2 is never allow politicians to be involved. With an increase in AI and more innovative methods of manufacture is there a chance that the project can be put beyond the grasp of politicians earlier?
The decision to cancel the TSR2 was correct. Nowadays nuclear deterrents are predominantly submarine launched ballistic missiles for very good reasons.
Love all the comments but after 40 years service at British Aerospace now BAE Systems I'm affraid its not government or our inovation that will kill the project, it is BAE Systems itself. They now employ more, less experienced people and more manager nepotism, that is managers getting relatives jobs and a culture of paying low skilled workers the same pay as qualified engineers, how does that work. Semi skilled shop floor workers earning £37,000 a year. Office staff doing non jobs on £43,000 to £53,000 and they know nothing of the technical skills to design and build a superior fast jet aircraft. Therefore, the project is likely to fail due to cost. If it flies it will be in limited numbers as they will likely cost upward of £250 million each, possibly over£300 millon by 2030.
I ask myself a basic question What is a plane for To deliver missiles to a battlefield So why is it needed when Drones can deliver the same amount of munitions
@@brightlord-ov7cm it's because when somebody mentioned the words laser demarcation when talking about target acquisition and the union reps got confused because demarcation is their territory 😆
the EF Typhoon tranche 2 upgrade is a formidable aircraft, Russia wouldn't risk engagement with anything they are not prepared to lose, along side F35 the two are easily a match for either country (Russia/China) with their complementary skill sets
Whittle's jet engine was like Logie Baird's first tv system, brilliant proof of concept, but much work needed and not the source of the engineering in today's systems

There is only one thing at fault, today, guess what it is? It is entirely 100%, you American people yourselves! And when I say "ALL"? I mean all! I'm not tarnishing anything or anyone. I am, only, speaking the truth. And when you're speaking the truth?, no matter if you're the only one speaking the truth, as you'll always be right, while the rest, (regardless of how many), will always be wrong.
Truth only... There is something very seriously wrong with you American people today, honestly, there must be something mentally wrong with you all! And I say this with every right, and with every damn reason, (least of which is, it's only the truth), because, in 2015, Russia exposed the US government (to all of you American people), and to the entire world, for supporting terrorists in Syria, and that forced the US government, (to admit to all of you American people) and the whole world, that they had recruited - trained - armed - supplied - protected - paid - and used, brutal terrorists, the “Free Syria Army”, in Syria, (sorry, these Americans like the term "moderate" head chopping so-called rebels), it's only terrorists to the rest of this world, my mistake.
Yet not one of you Americans, has ever condemned it?, not one of you has done the right thing, and stood up against it, or even protested against it, demanding it stops, (as every other society on earth, would be doing, if any of our governments were forced to admit what the USA admitted). - We'd all be out on the streets in the millions bringing our countries to a standstill, if any of our governments had admitted what the US government has. It just seems that all of you Americans today, feel that's below you all, or something just as cowardly, idiotic, and self-righteous, I guess, those lives, just don't matter?.
In fact, the truth is, far from seeing anyone of them protest against it?, what is the reality, what have we really seen? We've seen millions of them cheering their criminal presidents, and we've seen millions of them chanting USA USA USA, (just like the Nazi's of the 30s). And we have never seen a single American, stand up against it, let alone start demanding it stops.
Why not?
2018, Teresa May announces British strikes on Syria, within 3 hours, literally hundreds of thousands of people are stood outside Parliament protesting against it.
2018, Emmanuel Macron announces French strikes on Syria, later that evening in Paris, hundreds of thousands of people are protesting against it.
2015, Russia exposes the USA to the American people and the entire world for supporting and supplying terrorists in Syria, and still, 9 years later, man! Not one American has even condemned it, let alone protested against it!
It's like you American people don't even know, or understand, the only society we've ever seen do what you all are today, (throughout modern history), an entire society not even bother to protest against their own government's admitted criminal murder and killing of innocent people, (once the people found out), was indeed, Nazi Germany 1933-1945? That's the only time in modern history the people of any society, have done what you American people are today.
This is just another truth, another truth, that seems to be forgotten today, but what was the most asked question after WW2, a question asked all the way into the early 1980s?
"Why did the German people do nothing"?
What's worse, is, we can understand today, why the German people did what they did, they were starving to death with the harshness of the Versailles treaty, and dying in large numbers during the great depression, so quite naturally, they'd of supported absolutely anything that offered them hope! You Americans have no such excuse.
This is the biggest problem facing us all today, it is the biggest problem the rest of us have ever faced in our lifetimes - All of you incredibly uneducated, propaganda swallowing and believing, American people yourselves, don't know, or even understand, right, from wrong any more! You clearly, and without any doubt at all, have no morals, and as for any kind of understanding of ethics?, you're joking, you'd all need to look up what ethics are!
Truth will always come out, and it must always, come out, and the undeniable truth today, is, it's you American people yourselves, who are all, 100% at fault, and entirely responsible for all of this today. Because it's up to all of you to stand up and start demanding your government stops all of this! Nobody else can do that, only you people can! - But the huge problem we all have, and we all face today, is, that none of you uneducated, and extremely cowardly fools will do a thing. What don't you all understand?
It really does all come down to morals, ethics, and a reasonable education, (three things you're all so clearly missing today). But we all must understand right from wrong above all else, right?. We should also all understand the importance of truth, right?.
Only any truth today is, just like swearing, not allowed! Truth is easily the most unfashionable thing in the US today, those people really do hate truth, yet the truth is all anyone should really care about. And again, clearly many of you are only uneducated sheep, who don't even understand basic principles, principles like...
"When you're speaking the truth, no matter if you're the only one speaking the truth, you'll always be right, while the others, (regardless of how many), will always be wrong".
None of you even understand that simple fact, and basic principle, man! How dumb does one need to be, to not even understand that? And it is this extreme lack of any reasonable education that sees you people today, unbelievably thinking that supporting your own country and government (no matter what), is the patriotic thing to do?
Really, quite incredibly, this is exactly what you American people really think, it must be! Only, that's not patriotism at all? It's not even close to being patriotism, but it is the complete opposite of patriotism, It's treason and It's outright treachery. So why are you all only being traitors against yourselves?
You see, this really is that lack of education I'm pointing out! None of you are patriots at all, because you clearly don't have a clue what patriotism actually is! And that's just astonishing ignorance. You're all traitors, and traitors against yourselves and traitors against all other societies on earth today, is the truth! And all because, as I'm proving, you really have become the modern day Nazi society.
To the rest of the world, when you've found out your own government is doing wrongs to other countries and their people, then being 100% (against) your country and government, is known as being patriotic and even more patriotic than it is when proudly supporting and praising your country for doing something good, something helpful, or something right. Because when you do know, and you have found out, that your own government is doing, or has done wrongs to, or against other countries and their people? To then support it, or to ignore it, or even worse, to deny it, is only committing treason against one's own country!
No patriot would ever support his country (when he knew his country was doing wrongs to others in the world), because doing so, would be, in effect, the same as supporting the corruption, supporting the terrorism, supporting the brutal murder of innocent people, and supporting their own government breaking International law! And that's no different from supporting their very own country's demise! And guess what? That's known as treachery! Not patriotism!
EDUCATION! Basic principles!
The (people), of any society, only ever need to remember that the easiest way to figure out the right from the wrong? (in any likely oncoming or future war scenario), is to just ask yourself what you'd be fighting for? Because it's the answer to that question, that should always be showing you whose right, and whose wrong.
For example, if the American just asked themselves, that if, the USA went to war today, against either Russia or China? What would you all be fighting for? Then ask themselves what the Russians or the Chinese would be fighting for? They'd come to find, that both the Russians and the Chinese would be fighting for their freedom, and fighting for their own country's freedom! While they'd only be fighting for attempted American tyranny, (and that's no different from Nazi Tyranny). How Ironic!
That's what they're all supporting today, and if they really can't see that?, well, all I can say to that, is, the Nazis were just like that, they all claimed they couldn't see it either! They'll all be seen by history, as the Axis powers, trying for American Tyranny over the rest of the world. While the Russians, the Chinese, and much of the rest of this world, will all be seen by history as the allied powers, fighting against this clear attempted American tyranny, and fighting for their own freedom.
That's just more of that good old thing, known as truth and reality.
Get lost, USA.

A strong UK ???
Does this take into consideration all the terrorists walking right through our front door and handed free housing and food to be able to plan our downfall ????
I am inclined to agree being British, I think we still have values and principles that are a benefit to all peoples of the free world and less progressive countries.
@@dickdastardly5534 sadly we no longer have the numbers, skills or hardware to defend those values
VERY SIMPLY, the UK/Italy/Japan 6th gen fighter will be a winner.
I assume someone has told you the WW2 tempest was not a jet, but had a piston engine.
The R.A.F. was the 1st proclaimed Air Force in the World being officially established on 1st April 1918. It is therefore unique not only as the 1st Air Force in the World but also is the only Air Force that does not depict it's Country in it's Title... it is THE "Royal Air Force'" simply and solely.
Only those commentators who's knowledge and research is sadly lacking are unaware of the FACTS/TRUTH. Leads one to wonder how accurate their general comments on an array of Subjects are believable.
The same reason as the Royal Navy is THE Royal Navy. 😃
The commentator also referred to the WWII Typhoon as a "fighter jet"!
A bit like ''The Open Championship''... not the British Open
The RFC and RNAS have entered the chat
I'm actually stoked about this. This is the nation that, in my opinion, created arguably the best WWII fighter, next to the Corsair and P40 (sorry Mustang fans, but that plane was overhyped. The US's best were the Corsair and P40 lol). If you look at its every curve it's like a flying leaf. The nice sweep in the wings etc. The only issue it had was range. I hope RR decides to call the engines Merlin engines again lol
The P40 Warhawk (called the Tomahawk by some of the allies using it) was actually designed by Britain but asked the Americans (North American Aviation) to build it. America then, for want of a better word “upgraded” it and out popped the P51 Mustang.
@@grantwalker4859 I think the original tempest was powered by the sabre engine, which I believe was one of the most powerful engines of its type at the time! It was actually quite a work of art, I saw one at a museum a few months back. The Merlin is of course still one of the most iconic engines of all time!
@@lukeh7854 Ah yes, the Merlin. Even the yanks, begrudgingly, had to tip their hat to , as you say, that particular iconic engine.
It would be nice to think that we could build a world beating fighter jet but look at the mess the UK gets in when we try to build something simple like a Railway line it makes me sad to think that the country that I was born in over 70 years ago has sunk so low.
The 'Railway' was an EU/Blair/Labour folly and, just like most things touched by Government thinking, created a 'In for a penny, in for a pound' mentality - else scrapping it would led to equal, if not more, criticism. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, if you would. The Cons were right to scrap it, I've worked on it, a lumbering beast just gobbling dosh (and lovely countryside) up left, right and centre.
Fortunately the gvt are just paying for it n it’s other companies building but a do agree 100% if this was the British gvt building this the spitfire would still be our best fighters lol 😂
All gone on keeping immigrants, sending money to other countries while some brits are homeless and wasting billions on unnecessary lock downs.
Britain unfortunately is a failing nation all down to left wing stupidity.
If a Labour government get in you can say goodbye to that.
They'll be designing massive dinghies instead.
Childish.
So far, Italy, Sweden, Japan and the United Kingdom on board, with The Netherlands, Norway and Australia are joining. It will spread the technology development around and the cost. Imagine the quality of Stealth Fighter the West could have if the work could be shared with all of the NATO countries capable of building parts for it. That includes the US. We are allies, after all.
Too many partners is not a good thing. Beyond a certain point more is likely to be worse than better.
Great news as long as we don’t do a TSR2 . Develop to completion a great aircraft and then junk it .
The labour govt of the day was told to scrap it by there communist masters because it was such a threat to the ussr.
AI backup function is an Awesome idea to save the pilot and plane!
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."@@retiredbore378
Hi wild iron that was a great 👍 video of how the British are doing great fighter plane ✈️ David ✈️👌❤️🇬🇧👍
That's a pucker looking aircraft I looking forward to seeing it fly ✌🏻🇬🇧👍🏻
The gen 6 will be the queen of the swarm of hypersonic drones wing men.
From what I have see in what Britain has been able to do (especially in Ukraine) with all that international talent it should be well within our capacity to produce such an outstanding aeroplane. If it inspires our allies to up their game to make the skies a lot safer then so much the better.
England cant frak its own countryside, build its own power-stations or warships. There is no way English are going to get this one done. It will cost billions in borrowed money before it is cancelled of course.
More disgruntled nonsense from a knuckle dragger - The UK owns and operates eight nuclear power stations and are building a new one at Hinkley Point C in Somerset. In addition, we are jointly developing other new build proposals with CGN, with EDF leading on Sizewell C in Suffolk, and CGN leading on Bradwell B in Essex.
As of February 2023, the following major vessels are under construction: The final two of seven Astute-class submarines; the first three of four Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines, the first four of eight Type 26 frigates; and two of the five Type 31 frigates.
Like most of Europe fracking is currently banned. This is on environmental grounds and has nothing whatsoever to do with technical ability.
Now run along and don't return until you manage to gain a D at First Grade.
ps. After the USA and China, the UK is the largest arms manufacturer in the world (Arms Sales: $26.39 billion).
Actually aerospace is one of the areas that the UK is very, very good at.@@ianmacewan9416
Regarding nuclear power the UK was a world leader but lack of orders for new power stations has led to a loss of expertise and now we have to run to the French and Chinese to build them for us.@@imwelshjesus
Let's hope it turns out as good as the adverts predict, good luck tempest.
Many years ago, it was professed that small nations would only afford owning one of these hyper expensive aircraft. It seems unlikely that anyone could afford what is on offer. What a crazy World we are creating!
in italy and uk usualy we don't open the windows for trhow away our money , dreaming stars wars system like u.s. are used lol
@@lucianorosarelli-xr5lr yeah but the US has a very large defence and Space industry it has to keep employed. thats why it has enemies rather than rivals -you have to hoodwink the voters. I think the future will be drones and unmanned aircraft to a large degree with less reliance on 6th generation fighers.
If it’s that good the u.s will see it never gets off the ground
How?
Great to see that we have cut loose the French and Germans from this development. The French would claim everything good was theirs and everything bad someone else's fault, whilst the German's seem to have lost all technical leadership and have not been good at Innovation for a long time. I have a lot more faith in the partners we have on board, Sweden, Italy and Japan to deliver this project on time, on budget and on spec.
Especially Japan, where careers are ended publicly if you fail to deliver on time and within budget. I only wish our UK governments held huge corporations to account in such a fashion, I suspect things would just get done. As it is, our governments see huge public spending projects as a way to syphon funds out of government for it to partially be returned into the pockets of politicians.
Let's hope. Time will tell.
WWII Tempest never replaced Typhoon.
Typhoon wasn't up to the job as interceptor/fighter, but found its niche as a tactical fighter.
Tempest was a redesign, thin wing, aero dynamic work etc it was perhaps the best low level fighter of WWII.
If it is left to England it will cost five times what they say it will. Will take three times longer than they say it will and will be cancelled just after it flies.
and then sold to Saudi Arabia
The Kid will be going to be so happy to have a challenger
For a country that owes 100% gdp it will be interesting to see what services have to be cut to pay for this.
Most countries have national debts orf 100% of GDP or more. It is not a problem as long as interest rates stay low.
Totally agree we are a nation of Inventors but the government don't back the ideas so we sell it abroad and buy it back later once in production for double when will we learn
Do we really need to replace the typhoon, i mean seriously you just dont wanna fuck with that thing!
As a resident of Preston England, i will be one of the first to see it fly, hopefully.
2.6 billion seems a lot, until you see how much the uk government has wasted on HS2.
gb or uik and italy are the only european nation who made a coalition in partnership for built a new airplane, Typhone, actualy it made the same backbone of his air force.
Great fighter! 👍 It would be beneficial if US could learn cost discipline from this project.
Noticeable is the inclusion of hypersonic and laser weaponry that the US has been working on for years.
The phrases 'cost discipline' and 'US' in the same sentence denotes irony or ignorance,.
the cost will go up and it will run into problems
Typhoon has to go. Tempest looks to be a game changer.
They will share the knowledge with the world and it will be obsolete by 2027.
Most military developments are obsolete by the time they are deployed. That is irrelevant because everything else military will have similar obsolescence. All that will have happened is that by the time something is deployed the technology and plans for something better will have crystallised.
Your saying Farnborough wrong, we in the U.K do not pronounce it that way.
Not only has wild iron got it wrong about the UK being the only nuclear weapons power in the EU, it also doesn't seem to know about the involvement of Bae Systems in many of the US High tech weapons system development programs, including rail guns and stealth tech.
He actually said that France is the only Nuclear Power in Europe (the EU) after Brexit.
This world may not even get to the 2030s.Take a good look at what's going on in this corrupt world .😢
Yikes, it looks like a giant flying spider! 😂 I suppose it's one way to make many people surrender without firing a shot, lol.
If this British Government has anything to do with it I could see a £500 Billion project cost ,and the result would be a Tiger Moth if lucky
Hope this concept is able to become reality.However the way the government dithers ( HS2 for example) and with cost escalation I remain sceptical.
The US. will also do its utmost to preserve its dominance in this field and will do anything in its power to get the thing cancelled ( as with many British potentially world beating projects in the past) so it can continue a virtual monopoly in the Western Allied Arms sphere.
They way things are going, we will probably end up buying a 6th gen aircraft off the shelf from the US.
But I hope I'm wrong.
Echoes of TSR2...
So this is a PR video played at arms fairs
I'm old enough to remember many, many UK rocket and fighter projects that simply ran into budgetary sand. The TSR2 possibly the most infamous. The decision to develop a manned fighter seem strange. All that weight and constraint on performance (no nasty accelerations) to keep the little squishy driver alive! Look rather to cheap, unmanned, fully autonomous air defense systems. This thing would be useless for close ground support. No opponent will bother with a manned solution to a (possibly nonexistent) problem.
we will be world leaders,, as we always are
Hopefully this will work in tandem with a wing of new cutting edge drones.
Whilst every citizen is stuggling to live,i know weve got to have a deterrent from all the despots in the world ,unless the goverment know something we dont ?
Folks really need to use that thing between their ears instead of being parrots reading STUPID scripts. "...in the midst of World War II when the Hawker Tempest fighter jet joined the fight against Nazi air and ground forces..."
SO that plane sure looks like a conventional Prop driven by a piston engine. HOW DUMB can you get. It's easy history to read and write into a correct and meaningful script but instead someone failed to engage that grey matter between their ears.
That being said, it's hard to believe or trust the rest of this video. Too bad because I know the Brits and Scandinavian aircraft factories CAN produce some excellent planes, but this story is not something I would ever consider trustworthy since the can't even get the lead in script right.
This is a great channel man

Now The UK Are Our Friends, However, Ya Have To HAVE "The Ground" Before You Can Give It Up. And CONSTRUCTING a Sixth Generation Military Jet Is A LOT Less Of A Task Than Flying It!

BY THE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY TRAINING WE GIVE THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR ARMED FORCES - D W A R F E D! When You Go To Work Everyday? SO DO THEY! FULL TIME! 365 DAYS A YEAR! LAND, SEA, AIR and SPACE!
No health care but we sure know how to kill people
Join the RAF fleet in 2035, surely any technology they are using and thinking about during the next 5 years will be miles behind in 2035
No it won't. Everybody else will have the same obsolescence problems. The tech might be dated by 2035vbut that does not mean it will be ineffective.
When I see 20 or 30 of these planes sitting on British runways then and only then will I believe. Other than that it’s all talk.
It's High time that The UK along with it's Partners produce Something That will Blow Everything Else out of the Water It Has always able to build such Incredible Things But as Usual the Financial Situation in the UK is Not the Best Hence having to Include Partners But I'm sure It will be a Huge Success.
Should keep the typhoons great jets
0:47 Does this look like a 'fighter Jet'?
0:43 One that 'joined the fight against Nazi air and ground services' in WW2????
From this side view, you can see its evolution from the Bi Planes that very shortly preceded it in the 1930's.
Why is an American AI voice over, with a second rate inaccurate script, allowed to even discuss this British Engineering Masterpiece?
Are we sure the JNAAM was developed in a collaboration between Britain and Japan? Sounds like a collaboration between Japan and Vietnam.
Pretty artwork.
Started when 2017!!! Hopefully will be finished in 2035!!! That’s 18 years. From design, prototype to manufacturing them in the Second World War was literally a couple of years. Just like Jacob Rees Mogg said a while back, “A hundred years ago the HS2 rail track would of been built within a year or two not decades” that’s actually quite concerning.
A hundred years ago the railways were merely extensions of agricultural technology. Modern high tech that actually moves is vastly more complex than Victorian railways and that is why it takes a long time. By the way, victorian railway companies went bankrupt for a pastime.
It would be a challenge for Britain to develop a high quality washing machine!.
Steve Harris of iron maiden wrote the mad man's play on word's and make us all dance to they're song to the tune of staving millions to make a better gun that was 1982 and we've learnt nothing.
err....I'm from the UK but I don't think we would consider ourselves to be a superpower!
I was going to watch this then you said the original Tempest was a fighter jet! Oh dear God.
good one, well done.
Britain has always been in the vanguard of innovation….. but, a lack of focus (the MOD) and a lack of money means most never get beyond a prototype.
A part from the US the UK and the West have to partner up to get these things in the sky.
Going by the flutes on the engine they run off Compressed air Nitro free energy that is why they don't have any fuel space
looks a lot like the U.S. YF-23
The cost of one of these jets would solve the homeless and rehab of the homeless in the uk.
Full development of this aircraft is going to cost tens if not hundreds of billions (C.f. the F35 which has 20% UK input). In order to proceed the UK needs seceral partners and a huge number of sales. Selling to just the RAF and the Japanese Self Defence Force is nothing like enough. Getting this far has been relatively easy.
Anyone else see TSR2 as a warning ?
Yes, the lesson learned from TSR2 is never allow politicians to be involved. With an increase in AI and more innovative methods of manufacture is there a chance that the project can be put beyond the grasp of politicians earlier?
The decision to cancel the TSR2 was correct. Nowadays nuclear deterrents are predominantly submarine launched ballistic missiles for very good reasons.
Love all the comments but after 40 years service at British Aerospace now BAE Systems I'm affraid its not government or our inovation that will kill the project, it is BAE Systems itself.
They now employ more, less experienced people and more manager nepotism, that is managers getting relatives jobs and a culture of paying low skilled workers the same pay as qualified engineers, how does that work. Semi skilled shop floor workers earning £37,000 a year. Office staff doing non jobs on £43,000 to £53,000 and they know nothing of the technical skills to design and build a superior fast jet aircraft. Therefore, the project is likely to fail due to cost. If it flies it will be in limited numbers as they will likely cost upward of £250 million each, possibly over£300 millon by 2030.
Still good to hear it’ll have good old Rolls Royce engines
Is the Mauser 27mm comment right? 150 rounds? It fires 1700 ish a minute. That’s only like 5 secs of fire🤔
It could arrive , but government is famous for adding more tech then a cost cutting programme
I ask myself a basic question
What is a plane for
To deliver missiles to a battlefield
So why is it needed when Drones can deliver the same amount of munitions
Because humans can't get knocked out by being hacked or emped and can make better judgement calls while on sight rather than through a screen.
And the union says they have to be in the air with the autonomous drones.😅
@@obi-ron why not, we are on the internet with some.
@@brightlord-ov7cm it's because when somebody mentioned the words laser demarcation when talking about target acquisition and the union reps got confused because demarcation is their territory 😆
@obi-ron too bad the union rep gets confused, he should really pick up some dictionaries and learn some more words.
this might of been a proposed plane until british gov did a deal to buy the f22 raptor
Never gonna happen, budget cuts will see to that.
It depends. International development agreements can be set up that make it more expensive to pull out than to stay in.

G6 collaborations can't come soon enough, tho costly … welcome aboard!
This puppy has all the makings of a competitive aircraft to what the USA, Russia, and China can produce.
the EF Typhoon tranche 2 upgrade is a formidable aircraft, Russia wouldn't risk engagement with anything they are not prepared to lose, along side F35 the two are easily a match for either country (Russia/China) with their complementary skill sets
Russia is screwed and is utterly incapable of producing remotely like this. The Russians can't even make their own ballbearings.
It’ll doubtless be mothballed at some stage.
And when it gets hit by an Astoid there are two R2D2 Units to repaire the warp Supercruise
We did invent the jet engine, the aircraft carrier, and VTOL without adopting Nazi tech so this could be interesting

The only place you will see the "Tempest" is on the internet where all the other true facts are.
Got as far as the "Hawker Tempest fighter jet" comment and decided this video is not for me, can't trust any facts from that point on.
