Also you guys should try to run off of what Russia has left. Cause they already lost 40 to almost 50 percent of their firepower. This includes their Air superiority.
Brilliant modeling guys, I now see why the Navy sent their bully-boys to collect GR's computer. The AGM-158C LRASM digital flight/guidance model is phenomenal!
Now knowing that the Moskova was sent to war with basically none of its defensive systems combat ready, the Russian ship ai being deactivated is incredibly realistic.
It’s likely that the RWR on the Moskva didn’t even PICK UP the missile lock. Like holly shit the least you can do is have a working RWR so the crew knows what’s going on. The whole Moskva maintenance report was a bruh moment.
@@daidaloscz It was every part of computer system on the ship. Basiclly, if they turned anything on, it killed communicatons. The radar didn't just kill it, but kept frying the circuits.
@@KibuFox It's weird that electricity seems to be a problem across so much 'high end' Russian military equipment, the reason that the Turks shot down the Su24 was because the aircraft didn't have enough ampage in the cockpit to power a receiver for its own comms and guard at the same time - a little Cessna used for teaching pilots has better radio equipment than the aircraft Russia sends its pilots to war in.
I don't know if I ever told this story but I was on the Theodore Roosevelt from 86 to 90. I was an Aviation Ordnance Man working in the ships magazines. We were loading Harpoons from their storage crate onto the transporters and once they were on, we attached the fins and sent them up to the flight deck. As we were loading one, the guy turned too sharp and the seeker head was headed straight for the elevator door. I saw it and jammed my hand between the missile and the door frame to try and stop it. It didn't stop it. I broke 3 bones in my hand, but the missile seeker head was undamaged. So I am one of the very few hurt by a Harpoon not being an enemy being shot at. Every time I hear the word Harpoon I think back to that day in the middle of the Med. Stupid 18 year old kid trying to be a hero. I did get a letter of commendation for making the attempt though. I made E4 paygrade the next promotion board because of that incident, so in the end it worked out.
@@steveturner3999 It's fine, thanks. The breaks were pretty clean and when you're 18, you heal like Wolverine. Now? I am 54 and when I stub my toe I call off work for 2 days.
@@valuedhumanoid6574 Ha! Yeah we all healed like Wolverine at 18. Seems like we really needed to then as well! I understand about the difference at 54. 64 here and wonder who the old fart in the mirror is. I genuinely want to say how much I appreciate your Service to our Country. Thank you for the reply and I “hope you are doing well” as one “valued viewer” to another.
I once tried to catch a travel pod that was falling off an A-10. Smashed my finger bad enough that it was numb for at least 10 years. I didn't get anything for it, but the guy who turned the speed handle the wrong way got chewed out, LOL.
doing a controlled detonation in Afghanistan to de-mil some corroded ammo (and a crate of bangalore torpedoes for the luls). Idiot kid sets a 10-minute time fuse without doing a test burn first, so there's no way to know what the duration is. Afghan civilians go walking near the peremeter, too close to the demo range. So naturally, I jump in the golf cart, zoom out there with no idea how long I got to do it in, and manage to cut the det cord on either side of the blasting cap and toss it away with less than a minute left. Kid got a royal ass-chewing about it and spent the rest of his deployment getting random burn-times yelled at him by me and he'd have to stop whatever he was doing and give me the exact length of det cord for a 5, 10, and 15 minute fuse.
Lol U.S. is also working on plenty of Hypersonic Tech Cap! AIM-260 JATM, SM-6 Block 1B, ARRW AGM-183, HAWC, CPS, LRHW, Hypersonic Blitzer Cannon, Hypersonic Air Breathing Ammunition Super Cannon, X-41 Common Aero Vehicle, MAYHEM, Hermeus Quarterhorse, SR-72, and Sentinel ICBM! Plus I'm quite sure there's some that I'm forgetting, not aware of, lol and or are still classified ;)
I have never played DCS and had no idea it was this capable of being moded to this level. Pretty impressive. I can say it's pretty fun to watch these videos. I might play this someday when I actually get around to building a rig.
Considering the performance of the Russian military in Ukraine, I think they could. The Russians would probably declare it as a "smoking" accident, though.
@@Schnittertm1 honestly if you saw drunken comrade conscripavich suddenly burst into flames after standing near some ammunition and fuel with no enemy in sight, you might also conclude it was smoking assisted suicide... Edit: God damn war is fucked up man... :(
Phileas Fogg in a Hot air balloon with a bow and arrow could breach Russian air defence faced with the way the deployment, maintenance and standard of the supposed state of the art systems have performed
I'd love that as well but also shooting the LRASMs at the S-400 ahead of a bunch of Harpoons could be interesting as well, if it works then it would be alot cheaper and allow for closer launch ranges as well as protect the B-1s for a full load harpoon assult or even a bombing run.
The work you and your crew has done is truly awesome. I can't think of how it could be done better. Please keep up the fantastic work. And I hope the whole crew looks at all the comments also. They deserve so much credit.
JASSM vs LRASM is a LOT more than reinforced nose for ship hulls. Lockheed has some very nice videos and info on public domain about the LRASM. The LRASM has semi-autonomous routing and retargeting capabilities, along with a hive-mind function where they can work together to overcome contested environments. Plus they are BLACK unlike the gray JASSMs. They look super cool.
I recommend Sentinel 2 sattelite images from ESA for future videos if you guys want to more recent sattelite imagery. They're are free, somewhat lower resolution (15m spatial) compared to what Google Maps is using but there are newer images available every 4-5 days on the same location. Landsat 8 images from USGS are also an option but those have even worse resolution (30m) compare to what ESA offers.
A pair of B1Bs or loaded with 30 or so LRASMs each would pack some serious punch. By far you guys are the best DCS youtubers, and my favorite channel in general. Can't wait to see the future battles and the upcoming missiles you have lined up. The work you guys have been putting in has been nothing short of incredible. I know the new missiles will be a surprise and you're limited by the games abilities, and public information to create your best models of them, but the thought of Aim260s, SM6s, ASM3As, PL21s and so many others is just super exciting. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Reapers! Glad you are working on this stuff. I always look forward to the new content, and happy to be a Grim Reaper Patreon and DCS Newbie! -Steve ('Gray Tiger').
@@grimreapers Yo Cap check it out-- ruclips.net/video/CjPur-2U8t0/видео.html This should help with further information and help answer some questions!😁✌
Yep and they also can navigate around radar threats. They are able to coordinate a strike with one missile capable of acting as strike commander before it launches its attack. They cruise at about 3 - 6m above ambient sea level to avoid detection as well. Like the F-35 the LRASM and NSM are low observable systems, and are not 100% invisible to radar detection. Stealth means low observable, not completely invisible.
The problem with including Russian equipment is that half of it doesn't work. Or in the case of the Moskva ~80% of its defences didn't work, yet it was still declared fit for operations!
@@marshalljulie3676 More ships yes, but no more are allowed passage into the Black Sea, and those that are there have ceased coastal operations since the sinking.
@@marshalljulie3676 War does have casualties. However, losing a guided missile cruiser to a country with next to no operational navy isn't normal casualties, it's straight up boneheaded stupidity.
It was a missed opportunity not to call the LRASM an _extended range_ missile, rather than a long range missile. Then they could have called it the 'ERASMUS', - 'Extneded Range Anti-Ship Missile for the United States'. Pretty sick thing to name a pretty sick ASM, IMO.
Curious, do you have the AGM 88 G in progress? It is a version of the HARM missile that is modified to fit inside of the F-35 weapons bay, and is also slightly longer range. Being able to fit inside the F35 would be a game changer, as it wouldn't need to sacrifice stealth to take out air defenses.
@@MaxIsStrange1 Ah, cool. Another thing is that the leading edges of wings and rocket fins are generally big contributors to a Radar Cross Section, and I know the G model snips off some of them. Could it be possible to add a degree of stealth to that missile with a few extra modifications?
"We predicted Crimean bridge guys!" Maaan i must be totally missed that video where you guys blew it up using suicidal truck filled with tnt to the brim
Video of the truck on the bridge shows the bright flash of the explosion for about two frames while the truck is fully visible and fully intact, so the truck was not the origination point of the explosion. So once again, if Russia is claiming something you can immediately assume that the truth is the opposite until proven otherwise.
It's fun to watch these wargame scenarios, keep them coming. I have serious doubts on the realism aspect though: 1- RCS isn't so simple as just one number- in reality a craft will have different RCS at different aspects and especially emitter frequencies. For example frontal RCS is much smaller than side or top/bottom. Most modern radiation-absorbent materials (RAM) are optimized to absorb microwave frequencies since most fighter aircraft and ground FC/TR radars use this part of the RF spectrum for lock and missiles for terminal guidance. Modern "stealth-busting" search radars tend to operate in the VHF range. 2-Modern USAF doctrine relies heavily on network-centric warfare. In this example one might expect heavy use of jamming/decoys and attacks from multiple directions to overwhelm the Russian integrated air defense system in Crimea. 3-Experience and training is critical for efficient use of these high-tech weapons and defenses. Russian operators have very limited experience in defending against a massive network-centered attack such as this. See the S-400 video from HypOps' channel for an example of how much of a difference technological advantage makes on the battlefield. Also to keep in mind: successful Israeli attacks on Damascus (which has a russian-style IADS), Russian incapability to shoot down HIMARS rockets, or most recently Ukrainian USV's hunting Admiral Makarov.
Its really cool to see you guys putting new content in the game when it is so hard to do that DCS barely does it lol. Hope to see more modern stuff soon!!!
A wonderful debut for the LRASM. I can't wait to see it at full potency once you guys iron out the rest of the kinks. A single one-thousand warhead going off inside a frigate would guarantee it a one-way trip to the scrapyard or the bottom of the ocean had this taken place in open water. For the next or future video, How many LRASMs would it take to sink the Admiral Kuznetsov and its escorts? The real-life Grim Reapers are in the process of converting to F-35As.

US policy on ground strikes with the number of air defenses pictured in this game, undoubtedly would be dealt with first via some form of long range cruise missile. The strike group most definitely would be supported by aircraft like the EA-18G Growler. Would be interesting to see a scenario with several B-2 bombers striking air defense targets before the strike aircraft go after the ships. It's even possible that the strike group would be supported by F-22 Raptors to engage hostile aircraft and protect the strike aircraft.
I would love to see which aircraft can fly for the longest duration and which one can go the furthers, it would be interesting to find out which aircraft's parameters have the most effect.
Can the F-35’s jettison the pylons after launch to retain their stealth? Also cuts weight and parasitic drag to help with fuel consumption. Just a thought.
@@grimreapers Too bad. I know they were able to jettison the mounts on types in the past such as the F-4 and F-105 but would only due so in an extreme emergency. Thanks for checking this out. Love all you do guys!
Man, I played HOURS of Larry Bond’s HARPOON back in the day, the map view looks like a color version of the game with the icons and range circles, just without any of the actual 3d graphics or ability to pilot any vehicles, it’s all at a command level. it’s literally a 1980’s version of what these simulations are, but the specs on everything were so well done it has been used in the Naval Academy as a training aid.
I am so excited to see this. The answer is probably that Russia has absolutely no chance in hell. Although wouldn’t it be more likely that we would use our bombers for this? Wouldn’t we use the B-2 here?
Perhaps, but in this case, the simulation is not realistic, because the air bases the F-35s took off from would take a tactical nuke as soon as the first missile was fired on a Russian warship. These games are fun and interesting and all, but the reality is, Ukraine needs to seek terms. It cannot win. Russia will nuke them if it even looks like Russia might lose the war by conventional means, and there is nothing we can do about it other than get ourselves nuked too, which would not help Ukraine either. I'm sorry, Ukraine, but, to the surprise of no serious military analysts, you cannot defeat Russia. You must accept the current battle lines, or else Lviv and Kiev will look a lot like Baghdad in 2004, by this time next month. I am truly sorry, but in the interest of avoiding the end of the world, we're going to have to bring this to a close, now.
I don't think Russia is stupid enough to use nukes..at least we hope they're not..because the retaliation would be massive. In the end nobody wins. That's just my opinion.
@@Gabriel_McMillan Are you some kind of Russian bot? What are you even talking about take your stupid political agenda and idiotic military tactics and go play on RT💯
According to the U.S. the LARASM has data link capabilities, which allows it to update it's information in real time and make adjustments based on that information. If a target (ship, land target etc) is splashed, the LARASM can "detect" it and switch to another target right up to the last second.
This isn’t particularly fair to 4th gen in first scenario. In reality I feel that there would have been a SEAD attack with HARMs against the SAM sites BEFORE any attack against the fleet. Just going for it like this is suicidal and just not how it would play out.
I know nothing about this, but have a question. Instead of attacking with the "best" missiles, can you instead fire decoys (or hellfires which cost much less). They don't even need to explode, fly low, go fast, be stealthy, or try to avoid. The idea is to fire them closer to home and return quickly. Their purpose is to make the enemy to detect and respond. In the meantime, our planes have returned, refueled, re-armed, and are off again. I doubt there is enough time for that, so possibly use lesser planes (fire them from Cessnas if it would work) on the first waves and have the real attack squads on the ready. You could also just land-based missile decoys. The real attack arrives after all the opposition weapons run out of fuel or are otherwise spent. You could even have 2+ waves of decoys. The more decoys they blow up, the more it costs the bad guys in both $$ and supply, and the less $$ spent buy us. Maybe they get smart and stop responding. That can be a good thing too.
LRASM is based on the extended range AGM-158 which has a CLAIMEd range of 500 nm. Some say that the 158C may have shorter range because of the extra weight of the multi-mode seeker package, but folks still speculate that it has a range of at least 300nm. There has been some talk about reducing the warhead weight from 1000 lbs to like 650 lbs to get even more range. 650lbs i about the same weight as the warhead on a Spearfish heavy torpedo so you know it would be big enough for most ships.
As far as live-fire testing goes, this was a total success. Target deconflition/selection might need some work, but this was pretty damned good, especially considering that none of you guys are USAF tech weenies or programmers.
The USN has acquired the Kongsberg NSM (Naval Strike Missile) which is a 5th Gen missile like the LRASM. In fact it's been around a lot longer than the LRASM. It's also being modified as the JSM in order to fit into the weapons bay of the F-35. Both the NSM and the JSM have a smaller warhead than the LRASM. The LRASM is being integrated onto the P-8A Poseidon and I believe that the NSM is being integrated onto the P-8A as well. Since both Norway (Kongsberg is a sovereign Norwegian enity) and Australia are both funding the JSM integration on the F-35 and are now both P-8A users, they may push for the JSM integration onto the P-8A. Australia has the largest P-8A fleet outside of the USN.
NSM is strictly surface and land launched at the moment, I doubt it will be integrated onto the P-8A, unless you meant in JSM form? Australia is buying NSM, JSM and LRASM and it is planned that the latter will be used by the P-8A. I can definitely see a market for JSM on the P-8 though. JSM would make a lot of sense Brits for external F-35B carriage and their P-8As.
@@soulsphere9242 You are incorrect. There is an air launched variant of the missile. To quote from the Kongsberg brochure, "The missile utilizes MIL-STD-1760 electrical interface and is drop-launched from a standard BRU-14 bomb rack." www.kongsberg.com/globalassets/kongsberg-defence--aerospace/2.-what-we-do/1.3-defence--security/missile-systems/2023-01-10_produktark_nsm-al.pdf
@@soulsphere9242 Suggest you check your sources. Kongsberg states that NSM can be launched from aircraft. It has been ship launched right from its inception.
@@soulsphere9242 JSM is a shortened variant of the NSM specifically designed to fit inside the internal weapons bay of the F-35 because the standard NSM is to long for the bay. Go have a look at the Kongsberg information leaflet on the NSM. It specifically states that the NSM is air launch capable.
Ay Cap, nothing important but as an American I do know what a pint is. For every bar/pub I've been to "pint" is a small beer and half as much as you'll get if you just order a beer without specifying size. American Airlines tracks their engine oil usage in pints as well, though they're kinda the odd ones out as everyone else counts in quarts.
Cap the AGM-158C LRASM is the latest version of the AGM-158A JASSM. The RCS has not changed since the A model. The a model had a 1000lb warhead with a broaching charge. I cannot say more for obvious reason except that I am a medically retired RAAF Armourer as we were known, now called Eoxplosive Ordnance Technicians (1982 to 2016). Please add the AGM-158A and B to Classic (you call them legacy) Hornets as we (the RAAF) did in some of your future missions. Don't forget about the other variants like the ER and XR.
What sets this missile apart from your average anti-ship missile, is they are built around the 'stealth' idea. Basically the shape of the missile, as well as its construction give the missile a very small radar cross section. What's more, these missiles are very 'smart'. In the lead into their attack, they use an internal long range system to scan the area in front of them, picking out the various signatures of enemy ships. This is saved in memory for the missile, and constantly updated (something like every second) as the missile nears the target. This way, if its guidance is scrambled, or the enemy deploys counter measures, the missile will simply 'remember' where everything was and home in on its target. Lastly, they are reportedly able to prioritize targets. If for example they are fired into a harbor, and detect a ship being hit and sunk, the missile is supposedly smart enough to change to a different target that isn't as damaged.
"you've got no way to deconflicting targets in real life" Absolutely untrue. With satelite imagery and JSTARS target selection is quite likely modifiable right up to the ballistic jump.
stealth missiles are unlikely to go undetected on radar, but it will reduce radar detection so that they are detected at close enough range to make it difficult for the air defense response to intercept them, not impossible to intercept
With the know that the growler failed mid flight after the James’s were turned on could you make a tactic that you let the growlers fire and turn the jamers on and off until they run out of munitions ?
The F15s can carry twice the payload of the F35s and the LRASMs can be fired by them at a safe distance anyway. The F35s are meant for stealth attack scenarios so they are I’ll used in this game
In LRASM seems the AI is able to manage path to avoid threats and, linking all together the missiles, reallocate targets plus share information as when as just one of them pop-up scanning for ships formation with radar. It's rumored ESM equipment is on board too and the MMW radar is usable also for land targets. It's an heavier brother to Harpoon (calling it Harpoon II would be nice) in one ton / two thousand libre class even without the booster installed on naval (RGM) version. Price maybe is higher around 5 million per piece. Amazing all-around munition you could use against everything up to 250 nm range from ships, but from planes for such stationary targets I would prefer the extra 250 nm range of the AGM-158B version and no escort. Wonderful job guys! Bye Freedom everyone
You made a comment towards the end of this video and I wanted to mention something. You said that they wouldnt dock their ships so close together during wartime. And the sat images I saw the day AFTER the attack on this port in real life...had them stacked up in dock right next to each other.
The LRASM actually stays relatively high altitude until it gets close to the target whereupon it dives to meters off the deck and skims the sea to impact.
One question, as I'm genuinely interested: With the F-35 NOT rigged for stealth (ie. with external stores and pylons) can they, once the external-carried ordnance is launched, then jettison the pylon assemblies so they then CAN be stealthy? That might be interesting; they can carry a couple of LRASMs on the wing pylons and AMRAAMs etc in the internal bays, fire off the LRASMs, dump the pylons then go full stealth for a MiG hunt?
@@grimreapers True. Tom Clancy pulled info from unclassified sources, before wiki, and got a visit because he got some stuff "right" when writing "The Hunt for Red October". They basically left him alone when he showed them where and how he got his info. Knowing some classified info, I saw what Clancy did. And how easy it can happen to anyone. All I can say is keep on and stay safe.
The US has a naval buster B52. It's literally designed to fire LS-ER, they can fire up to 24. Plus their internal bays can carry a litany of other missles. That's what the US would use and the fighters would be there to attack the SAMS and defenders
Love that this channel is predicting the future of this conflict in real time. I learn more from these videos than I do the news 😂 knew the ghost of Kiev was bs based on these videos, and knew that the Moskva was definitely compromised based on these videos. Great work
Pitch control could be done with horizontal stabilizers in the back like a F14. It could also be done with articulation of the pop out wings. The center of lift could be moved front and back by moving the wing.
I think that the result is way to heavily connected with the moddeling done. Ofc these are classified data but still, with a different value you would get a different result. No matter how stealth a missile can be I find it hard to believe that those missiles wont be fired at by the close range sams (the 2 pantsirs).
The fact that all ships are disabled drops the realism a lot, most probably 1 ship out of 4 per block would be on Sentinel Shift with it's close range anti-missile systems live covering the whole harbor up to roughly 3km out. Most approaching LARSMs (or what they are called) being subsonic cruise missiles would be easy targets even if they go up and dive I think.
From what I know usually all the ships are docked and deactivated for maintenance, while smaller ships patrol. There are 6 battalions of S-400 in Crimea and multiple IADs near Sevastopol so it should be well-defended. If the leaked maintenance report from the Moskva is true then we can assume the others may be facing similar issues. The LRASM would easily devour the warships & air defenses with no problem, I don't understand why them being subsonic makes them easy targets?
Hey guys, (I swear, not another French saying French planes are the best) I've got a question : why didn't you fly just near above the level of water, under radar? the Rafale is kinda a F/A 18 at his top/last generation (Superhornet?) The French Air and Space Army/Forcr doesn't have stealth fighter, like the F22 or the F35. So we fly under the level of radar, and it works. S400 isn't a problem if you fly under "I don't know how many" - feet. Also, the stealth bomb you used ad the end might be okay on the F/A 18? So, you fly near Sebastopol, low, until the time when you can all choose a different target, and then you turn back, while the modern stealth missile are going to the ship without being seen or targeted by S400 and the other small AA defense. And I think it might be even better with F35, to firstly destroy Anti Air defense, then the ship.
A drone mod would be pretty cool. I think it's established now, without a doubt that drones has a place in the battlefield, and I got to say, I am curious how GR would handle dealing with drones. Driving them and trying to defend against them.
@@BlokeOnAMotorbike I was thinking more like manned vehicles. Like the Bayraktar or those smaller ones dropping nades. Something you pilot. (that series where they play a carrier comes to mind.) But in DCS, because its probably the only way to simulate modern battles. One scenario could be defending against iranian kamikaze drones attacking oil refineries in the gulf. Drones are not very capable compared to their bigger manned cousins, but at the same time, there is really nothing designed to shoot down drones, in service. Because of that, they are incredible effective. So it would be interesting to see if GR can come up with something to defend against drones.

Brilliant modeling guys, I now see why the Navy sent their bully-boys to collect GR's computer. The AGM-158C LRASM digital flight/guidance model is phenomenal!
Now knowing that the Moskova was sent to war with basically none of its defensive systems combat ready, the Russian ship ai being deactivated is incredibly realistic.
It’s likely that the RWR on the Moskva didn’t even PICK UP the missile lock. Like holly shit the least you can do is have a working RWR so the crew knows what’s going on. The whole Moskva maintenance report was a bruh moment.
@@mr.nemesis6442 Reportedly, it was turned off because it conflicted with the communications system.
@@KibuFox that was the radar iirc
@@daidaloscz It was every part of computer system on the ship. Basiclly, if they turned anything on, it killed communicatons. The radar didn't just kill it, but kept frying the circuits.
@@KibuFox It's weird that electricity seems to be a problem across so much 'high end' Russian military equipment, the reason that the Turks shot down the Su24 was because the aircraft didn't have enough ampage in the cockpit to power a receiver for its own comms and guard at the same time - a little Cessna used for teaching pilots has better radio equipment than the aircraft Russia sends its pilots to war in.
I don't know if I ever told this story but I was on the Theodore Roosevelt from 86 to 90. I was an Aviation Ordnance Man working in the ships magazines. We were loading Harpoons from their storage crate onto the transporters and once they were on, we attached the fins and sent them up to the flight deck. As we were loading one, the guy turned too sharp and the seeker head was headed straight for the elevator door. I saw it and jammed my hand between the missile and the door frame to try and stop it. It didn't stop it. I broke 3 bones in my hand, but the missile seeker head was undamaged. So I am one of the very few hurt by a Harpoon not being an enemy being shot at. Every time I hear the word Harpoon I think back to that day in the middle of the Med. Stupid 18 year old kid trying to be a hero. I did get a letter of commendation for making the attempt though. I made E4 paygrade the next promotion board because of that incident, so in the end it worked out.
How’s the hand now? Thank you for your Service!
@@steveturner3999 It's fine, thanks. The breaks were pretty clean and when you're 18, you heal like Wolverine. Now? I am 54 and when I stub my toe I call off work for 2 days.

I once tried to catch a travel pod that was falling off an A-10. Smashed my finger bad enough that it was numb for at least 10 years. I didn't get anything for it, but the guy who turned the speed handle the wrong way got chewed out, LOL.
doing a controlled detonation in Afghanistan to de-mil some corroded ammo (and a crate of bangalore torpedoes for the luls). Idiot kid sets a 10-minute time fuse without doing a test burn first, so there's no way to know what the duration is. Afghan civilians go walking near the peremeter, too close to the demo range. So naturally, I jump in the golf cart, zoom out there with no idea how long I got to do it in, and manage to cut the det cord on either side of the blasting cap and toss it away with less than a minute left.
Kid got a royal ass-chewing about it and spent the rest of his deployment getting random burn-times yelled at him by me and he'd have to stop whatever he was doing and give me the exact length of det cord for a 5, 10, and 15 minute fuse.

TBH Jimmy it's a bit of a mess in the background... lots of terribel code.
Top notch "end of ze world" reference. "but i'm le tired"
JASSM vs LRASM is a LOT more than reinforced nose for ship hulls. Lockheed has some very nice videos and info on public domain about the LRASM. The LRASM has semi-autonomous routing and retargeting capabilities, along with a hive-mind function where they can work together to overcome contested environments.
Plus they are BLACK unlike the gray JASSMs. They look super cool.
I recommend Sentinel 2 sattelite images from ESA for future videos if you guys want to more recent sattelite imagery. They're are free, somewhat lower resolution (15m spatial) compared to what Google Maps is using but there are newer images available every 4-5 days on the same location. Landsat 8 images from USGS are also an option but those have even worse resolution (30m) compare to what ESA offers.
A pair of B1Bs or loaded with 30 or so LRASMs each would pack some serious punch. By far you guys are the best DCS youtubers, and my favorite channel in general. Can't wait to see the future battles and the upcoming missiles you have lined up. The work you guys have been putting in has been nothing short of incredible. I know the new missiles will be a surprise and you're limited by the games abilities, and public information to create your best models of them, but the thought of Aim260s, SM6s, ASM3As, PL21s and so many others is just super exciting. Keep up the awesome work!

With how Russia takes care of their ships, that much damage would be terminal
Used to build the LRASM at Lockheed, also it’s counterpart JASSM. Great missile.

54:22 actually cap, the LRASM can target a specific ship in a formation as well as network with other incoming LRASMs
Cool. Sadly we are not smart enough to make this in game.
@@grimreapers Yo Cap check it out-- ruclips.net/video/CjPur-2U8t0/видео.html This should help with further information and help answer some questions!😁✌
Yep and they also can navigate around radar threats. They are able to coordinate a strike with one missile capable of acting as strike commander before it launches its attack. They cruise at about 3 - 6m above ambient sea level to avoid detection as well. Like the F-35 the LRASM and NSM are low observable systems, and are not 100% invisible to radar detection. Stealth means low observable, not completely invisible.
The problem with including Russian equipment is that half of it doesn't work. Or in the case of the Moskva ~80% of its defences didn't work, yet it was still declared fit for operations!
🤡
It wasn't even operating and the Ukrainian knew that. And Russia still has more warship to back up that loss all war has casualties 🤷
@@marshalljulie3676 More ships yes, but no more are allowed passage into the Black Sea, and those that are there have ceased coastal operations since the sinking.
@@marshalljulie3676 War does have casualties. However, losing a guided missile cruiser to a country with next to no operational navy isn't normal casualties, it's straight up boneheaded stupidity.
It was a missed opportunity not to call the LRASM an _extended range_ missile, rather than a long range missile. Then they could have called it the 'ERASMUS', - 'Extneded Range Anti-Ship Missile for the United States'. Pretty sick thing to name a pretty sick ASM, IMO.
nice
Would be nice to see the GBU-31 Quicksink featured at some point.
Basically a refused GBU-31 JDAM with a flashy name.
Curious, do you have the AGM 88 G in progress? It is a version of the HARM missile that is modified to fit inside of the F-35 weapons bay, and is also slightly longer range. Being able to fit inside the F35 would be a game changer, as it wouldn't need to sacrifice stealth to take out air defenses.
According to AviationWeek, the G (ER) version is supposed to have twice the range of the HARM (which is a substantial increase)
Supposedly, the G version has twice the range of the AGM-88E AARGM thanks to an added ramjet, among other things
@@MaxIsStrange1 Ah, cool. Another thing is that the leading edges of wings and rocket fins are generally big contributors to a Radar Cross Section, and I know the G model snips off some of them. Could it be possible to add a degree of stealth to that missile with a few extra modifications?
@@totalnerd5674 I’m gonna be honest with you - I have no idea.

"We predicted Crimean bridge guys!"
Maaan i must be totally missed that video where you guys blew it up using suicidal truck filled with tnt to the brim
lol yes fair enough.
Video of the truck on the bridge shows the bright flash of the explosion for about two frames while the truck is fully visible and fully intact, so the truck was not the origination point of the explosion. So once again, if Russia is claiming something you can immediately assume that the truth is the opposite until proven otherwise.
Great work guys!
Saw a Russian ship on a "glasnost" port call. Judging from the welds, it wouldn't take much to sink one.
Yup, most welds on Russian ships appear to have been done by vodka soaked welders.
Oh, wait....
It's fun to watch these wargame scenarios, keep them coming. I have serious doubts on the realism aspect though:
1- RCS isn't so simple as just one number- in reality a craft will have different RCS at different aspects and especially emitter frequencies. For example frontal RCS is much smaller than side or top/bottom. Most modern radiation-absorbent materials (RAM) are optimized to absorb microwave frequencies since most fighter aircraft and ground FC/TR radars use this part of the RF spectrum for lock and missiles for terminal guidance. Modern "stealth-busting" search radars tend to operate in the VHF range.
2-Modern USAF doctrine relies heavily on network-centric warfare. In this example one might expect heavy use of jamming/decoys and attacks from multiple directions to overwhelm the Russian integrated air defense system in Crimea.
3-Experience and training is critical for efficient use of these high-tech weapons and defenses. Russian operators have very limited experience in defending against a massive network-centered attack such as this.
See the S-400 video from HypOps' channel for an example of how much of a difference technological advantage makes on the battlefield.
Also to keep in mind: successful Israeli attacks on Damascus (which has a russian-style IADS), Russian incapability to shoot down HIMARS rockets, or most recently Ukrainian USV's hunting Admiral Makarov.
So, ingress jammers off, get a host of sa in the air, turn jammers on, fewer missiles left to launch when it matters most.
Its really cool to see you guys putting new content in the game when it is so hard to do that DCS barely does it lol. Hope to see more modern stuff soon!!!
Loving the modernization you guys are doing
Excellent work. Good job. THANK YOU
A wonderful debut for the LRASM. I can't wait to see it at full potency once you guys iron out the rest of the kinks.
A single one-thousand warhead going off inside a frigate would guarantee it a one-way trip to the scrapyard or the bottom of the ocean had this taken place in open water.
For the next or future video, How many LRASMs would it take to sink the Admiral Kuznetsov and its escorts?
The real-life Grim Reapers are in the process of converting to F-35As.

Congratulations (and thanks from us onlookers) on the amazing first-time success of the new missiles.
considering readiness level, we have seen out of the Russian Air defense systems so far, I'm going to say it wouldn't be close
huh? They regularly shoot down large proportions of targetable incoming missiles and aircraft
NAAFI: Navy, Army and Air Force Institute. British armed forces auxilliary, they run the BX/PX, civilian area logistics, and cafés and bars for non-commissioned officers and enlisted.
US policy on ground strikes with the number of air defenses pictured in this game, undoubtedly would be dealt with first via some form of long range cruise missile. The strike group most definitely would be supported by aircraft like the EA-18G Growler. Would be interesting to see a scenario with several B-2 bombers striking air defense targets before the strike aircraft go after the ships. It's even possible that the strike group would be supported by F-22 Raptors to engage hostile aircraft and protect the strike aircraft.
Fantastic stuff!
I'll wait for the naval battle now!
I would love to see which aircraft can fly for the longest duration and which one can go the furthers, it would be interesting to find out which aircraft's parameters have the most effect.
I'm very glad to hear that at 2:20 TESCO supermarket is the green, +2.49%. Wonderful result :D
Can the F-35’s jettison the pylons after launch to retain their stealth? Also cuts weight and parasitic drag to help with fuel consumption. Just a thought.
I’ve had that thought as well. Seems like something they would do!
I asked a F-35 maintainer and they said these are not ejectable.
@@grimreapers Too bad. I know they were able to jettison the mounts on types in the past such as the F-4 and F-105 but would only due so in an extreme emergency. Thanks for checking this out. Love all you do guys!
@@grimreapers what about that extra pylons* that weren't carrying anything? Does it make a difference, if so can it be removed??
@@Anarchy_420 Even with those pylons it's probably still a much stealthier plane than anything other than a clean F-35 or an F-22.
Man, I played HOURS of Larry Bond’s HARPOON back in the day, the map view looks like a color version of the game with the icons and range circles, just without any of the actual 3d graphics or ability to pilot any vehicles, it’s all at a command level. it’s literally a 1980’s version of what these simulations are, but the specs on everything were so well done it has been used in the Naval Academy as a training aid.
How do you get this mod? The mod video you have is for the old and dead f35 for 2.5 dcs.
11:57 Public Tech Release
..."would you like to have a look at my growler?"
"Er......no thank you!"
I am so excited to see this. The answer is probably that Russia has absolutely no chance in hell.
Although wouldn’t it be more likely that we would use our bombers for this? Wouldn’t we use the B-2 here?
Perhaps, but in this case, the simulation is not realistic, because the air bases the F-35s took off from would take a tactical nuke as soon as the first missile was fired on a Russian warship.
These games are fun and interesting and all, but the reality is, Ukraine needs to seek terms. It cannot win. Russia will nuke them if it even looks like Russia might lose the war by conventional means, and there is nothing we can do about it other than get ourselves nuked too, which would not help Ukraine either. I'm sorry, Ukraine, but, to the surprise of no serious military analysts, you cannot defeat Russia. You must accept the current battle lines, or else Lviv and Kiev will look a lot like Baghdad in 2004, by this time next month. I am truly sorry, but in the interest of avoiding the end of the world, we're going to have to bring this to a close, now.

According to the U.S. the LARASM has data link capabilities, which allows it to update it's information in real time and make adjustments based on that information. If a target (ship, land target etc) is splashed, the LARASM can "detect" it and switch to another target right up to the last second.
This isn’t particularly fair to 4th gen in first scenario. In reality I feel that there would have been a SEAD attack with HARMs against the SAM sites BEFORE any attack against the fleet. Just going for it like this is suicidal and just not how it would play out.
Don't tell me the odds.
I know nothing about this, but have a question.
Instead of attacking with the "best" missiles, can you instead fire decoys (or hellfires which cost much less). They don't even need to explode, fly low, go fast, be stealthy, or try to avoid. The idea is to fire them closer to home and return quickly. Their purpose is to make the enemy to detect and respond. In the meantime, our planes have returned, refueled, re-armed, and are off again.
I doubt there is enough time for that, so possibly use lesser planes (fire them from Cessnas if it would work) on the first waves and have the real attack squads on the ready. You could also just land-based missile decoys.
The real attack arrives after all the opposition weapons run out of fuel or are otherwise spent. You could even have 2+ waves of decoys. The more decoys they blow up, the more it costs the bad guys in both $$ and supply, and the less $$ spent buy us. Maybe they get smart and stop responding. That can be a good thing too.
Short answer, yes.
LRASM is based on the extended range AGM-158 which has a CLAIMEd range of 500 nm. Some say that the 158C may have shorter range because of the extra weight of the multi-mode seeker package, but folks still speculate that it has a range of at least 300nm. There has been some talk about reducing the warhead weight from 1000 lbs to like 650 lbs to get even more range. 650lbs i about the same weight as the warhead on a Spearfish heavy torpedo so you know it would be big enough for most ships.
As far as live-fire testing goes, this was a total success. Target deconflition/selection might need some work, but this was pretty damned good, especially considering that none of you guys are USAF tech weenies or programmers.
Why didn't they upgrade the F35 with a 500KW LASER in place of the cannons for vaporizing targets of opportunity.
This aged beautifully

The USN has acquired the Kongsberg NSM (Naval Strike Missile) which is a 5th Gen missile like the LRASM. In fact it's been around a lot longer than the LRASM. It's also being modified as the JSM in order to fit into the weapons bay of the F-35. Both the NSM and the JSM have a smaller warhead than the LRASM. The LRASM is being integrated onto the P-8A Poseidon and I believe that the NSM is being integrated onto the P-8A as well. Since both Norway (Kongsberg is a sovereign Norwegian enity) and Australia are both funding the JSM integration on the F-35 and are now both P-8A users, they may push for the JSM integration onto the P-8A. Australia has the largest P-8A fleet outside of the USN.
NSM is strictly surface and land launched at the moment, I doubt it will be integrated onto the P-8A, unless you meant in JSM form? Australia is buying NSM, JSM and LRASM and it is planned that the latter will be used by the P-8A. I can definitely see a market for JSM on the P-8 though. JSM would make a lot of sense Brits for external F-35B carriage and their P-8As.
@@soulsphere9242 You are incorrect. There is an air launched variant of the missile. To quote from the Kongsberg brochure, "The missile utilizes MIL-STD-1760 electrical interface and is drop-launched from a standard BRU-14 bomb rack."

@@soulsphere9242 JSM is a shortened variant of the NSM specifically designed to fit inside the internal weapons bay of the F-35 because the standard NSM is to long for the bay. Go have a look at the Kongsberg information leaflet on the NSM. It specifically states that the NSM is air launch capable.
Ay Cap, nothing important but as an American I do know what a pint is. For every bar/pub I've been to "pint" is a small beer and half as much as you'll get if you just order a beer without specifying size. American Airlines tracks their engine oil usage in pints as well, though they're kinda the odd ones out as everyone else counts in quarts.
Cap the AGM-158C LRASM is the latest version of the AGM-158A JASSM. The RCS has not changed since the A model. The a model had a 1000lb warhead with a broaching charge. I cannot say more for obvious reason except that I am a medically retired RAAF Armourer as we were known, now called Eoxplosive Ordnance Technicians (1982 to 2016). Please add the AGM-158A and B to Classic (you call them legacy) Hornets as we (the RAAF) did in some of your future missions. Don't forget about the other variants like the ER and XR.
Thanks for info. Trying.
What sets this missile apart from your average anti-ship missile, is they are built around the 'stealth' idea. Basically the shape of the missile, as well as its construction give the missile a very small radar cross section. What's more, these missiles are very 'smart'. In the lead into their attack, they use an internal long range system to scan the area in front of them, picking out the various signatures of enemy ships. This is saved in memory for the missile, and constantly updated (something like every second) as the missile nears the target. This way, if its guidance is scrambled, or the enemy deploys counter measures, the missile will simply 'remember' where everything was and home in on its target. Lastly, they are reportedly able to prioritize targets. If for example they are fired into a harbor, and detect a ship being hit and sunk, the missile is supposedly smart enough to change to a different target that isn't as damaged.

Grim Reapers: "WHAT ARE YOU???"
Viewers: "VALUED VIEWERS!!!!"
"you've got no way to deconflicting targets in real life"
Absolutely untrue. With satelite imagery and JSTARS target selection is quite likely modifiable right up to the ballistic jump.
i guess the Naval Strike MIssile (NSM) is an enigma to this group...
54:47 accidentally found a bug in the real life LRASM.
US navy: "Write that down, write that down!"
I’m sure you won’t be surprised that higher type military individuals are looking at your sims.
And we’re noticing
very interesting and thanks for your hard work
stealth missiles are unlikely to go undetected on radar, but it will reduce radar detection so that they are detected at close enough range to make it difficult for the air defense response to intercept them, not impossible to intercept
That Harpoon from Grump 😂 Talk about pushing the envelope 😂
😅
With the know that the growler failed mid flight after the James’s were turned on could you make a tactic that you let the growlers fire and turn the jamers on and off until they run out of munitions ?
It'd make sense to have F15EX's along with the F35's just to act as missile trucks and F22's to handle any air response.
Yes that would be quite a deadly combination.
That "3-2-1 Break" was absolutely sexy. That is all
"Very well protected" rings a belll... Wasn't there some sort of ship, that was the same?
eek
The F15s can carry twice the payload of the F35s and the LRASMs can be fired by them at a safe distance anyway. The F35s are meant for stealth attack scenarios so they are I’ll used in this game
Now what's needed is to get the sams to see stealth stuff when it gets close. stealth isn't radar invisibility afterall
Philosophy of Modern Warfare: Throw $$ at the enemy until they disappear.
i have no idea why i love you guys ....but i do and will do allwayws
In LRASM seems the AI is able to manage path to avoid threats and, linking all together the missiles, reallocate targets plus share information as when as just one of them pop-up scanning for ships formation with radar. It's rumored ESM equipment is on board too and the MMW radar is usable also for land targets. It's an heavier brother to Harpoon (calling it Harpoon II would be nice) in one ton / two thousand libre class even without the booster installed on naval (RGM) version. Price maybe is higher around 5 million per piece. Amazing all-around munition you could use against everything up to 250 nm range from ships, but from planes for such stationary targets I would prefer the extra 250 nm range of the AGM-158B version and no escort.
Wonderful job guys!
Bye
Freedom everyone
You made a comment towards the end of this video and I wanted to mention something. You said that they wouldnt dock their ships so close together during wartime. And the sat images I saw the day AFTER the attack on this port in real life...had them stacked up in dock right next to each other.
The LRASM actually stays relatively high altitude until it gets close to the target whereupon it dives to meters off the deck and skims the sea to impact.
One question, as I'm genuinely interested: With the F-35 NOT rigged for stealth (ie. with external stores and pylons) can they, once the external-carried ordnance is launched, then jettison the pylon assemblies so they then CAN be stealthy? That might be interesting; they can carry a couple of LRASMs on the wing pylons and AMRAAMs etc in the internal bays, fire off the LRASMs, dump the pylons then go full stealth for a MiG hunt?
If you get the specefications too close to right, you may end up getting a knock at the door by some men wearing sunglasses inviting you for some tea.
“Cap’s health suddenly declined after the government visit. The tox screen came up negative, but those in the know knew he had been poisoned.”
Pretty much everything we do is from Wiki or guess work.
@@grimreapers True. Tom Clancy pulled info from unclassified sources, before wiki, and got a visit because he got some stuff "right" when writing "The Hunt for Red October". They basically left him alone when he showed them where and how he got his info.
Knowing some classified info, I saw what Clancy did. And how easy it can happen to anyone. All I can say is keep on and stay safe.
I swear this just happened irl
Simba needs a “Roar” sound effect when no answer is needed !
lol
Well this is an interesting video now. You should have used water based drones XD
The US has a naval buster B52. It's literally designed to fire LS-ER, they can fire up to 24. Plus their internal bays can carry a litany of other missles. That's what the US would use and the fighters would be there to attack the SAMS and defenders
Love that this channel is predicting the future of this conflict in real time. I learn more from these videos than I do the news 😂 knew the ghost of Kiev was bs based on these videos, and knew that the Moskva was definitely compromised based on these videos. Great work
Pitch control could be done with horizontal stabilizers in the back like a F14. It could also be done with articulation of the pop out wings. The center of lift could be moved front and back by moving the wing.
I think that the result is way to heavily connected with the moddeling done. Ofc these are classified data but still, with a different value you would get a different result. No matter how stealth a missile can be I find it hard to believe that those missiles wont be fired at by the close range sams (the 2 pantsirs).
Correct. The RCS value is critical here.
The fact that all ships are disabled drops the realism a lot, most probably 1 ship out of 4 per block would be on Sentinel Shift with it's close range anti-missile systems live covering the whole harbor up to roughly 3km out.
Most approaching LARSMs (or what they are called) being subsonic cruise missiles would be easy targets even if they go up and dive I think.
From what I know usually all the ships are docked and deactivated for maintenance, while smaller ships patrol. There are 6 battalions of S-400 in Crimea and multiple IADs near Sevastopol so it should be well-defended. If the leaked maintenance report from the Moskva is true then we can assume the others may be facing similar issues. The LRASM would easily devour the warships & air defenses with no problem, I don't understand why them being subsonic makes them easy targets?
Bout that time, eh chaps? Righto.
Underrated lol
FIRE ZE MISSILES
Thank you
I wish some'd make a mod for the f-18c that's been upgraded recently for finland,usmc, etc with an aesa, fcs logic, and other avionics.
Hey guys,
(I swear, not another French saying French planes are the best)
I've got a question : why didn't you fly just near above the level of water, under radar?
the Rafale is kinda a F/A 18 at his top/last generation (Superhornet?)
The French Air and Space Army/Forcr doesn't have stealth fighter, like the F22 or the F35.
So we fly under the level of radar, and it works.
S400 isn't a problem if you fly under "I don't know how many" - feet.
Also, the stealth bomb you used ad the end might be okay on the F/A 18?
So, you fly near Sebastopol, low, until the time when you can all choose a different target, and then you turn back, while the modern stealth missile are going to the ship without being seen or targeted by S400 and the other small AA defense.
And I think it might be even better with F35, to firstly destroy Anti Air defense, then the ship.
A drone mod would be pretty cool.
I think it's established now, without a doubt that drones has a place in the battlefield, and I got to say, I am curious how GR would handle dealing with drones. Driving them and trying to defend against them.
I have seen GR use a drone swarm or two before, they fly like semi-smart cruise missiles.
@@BlokeOnAMotorbike I was thinking more like manned vehicles. Like the Bayraktar or those smaller ones dropping nades.
Something you pilot. (that series where they play a carrier comes to mind.) But in DCS, because its probably the only way to simulate modern battles.
One scenario could be defending against iranian kamikaze drones attacking oil refineries in the gulf.
Drones are not very capable compared to their bigger manned cousins, but at the same time, there is really nothing designed to shoot down drones, in service. Because of that, they are incredible effective. So it would be interesting to see if GR can come up with something to defend against drones.
@@lordsqueak GR's video is entitled "REALISTIC Iranian Combined Gunboat, Missile & Drone Swarm vs US Carrier Group (Naval 53) | DCS" (for some reason this channel or RUclips or something won't let me paste a link TO A RUclips VIDEO in here)
Well done
