I was thinking about when you were looking at that tank that jump scared itself when it fired and I was watching somebody who was talking about “yeah cuz in America are made well..Unlike Russian tanks if you cough too hard it will explode and Russians are leaving their tanks because it’s safer to fight with twigs.”
Hey you two! Love your videos! I just wanted to mention one great thing about AI/robots. American police forces and military forces are now using robots to diffuse bombs. That would be a great vid to watch, wouldn't it? Love you both
That isn't how the American military rolls. They underplay the statistics when everyone else bluffs about theirs. We will pretend to not see enemy targets ages before we show we can see them.
My brother was helping to install directed energy weapon prototypes for the government as a contractor working for Boeing back around 2008. That was 16 years ago. I shutter to think of what we have now.
Fun fact: 10 US stealth bomber F-117 hovered above Baghdad in 1991 for over an hour waiting for the air campaign to begin. Iraq was the most heavily fortified city in the world and had the highest density of Anti-Air platforms and the Iraqis still didn't know the Americans were hovering above them until the F-117 dropped their bombs on them.
Fun fact: The F-117 isn't a bomber, and it cannot hover. The F-117 is an Attack/Strike aircraft, and I believe the word you're looking for is loiter. Additionally the Nighthawk hasn't been in service for some years now.
@@justicar2747 They were officially retired in 2008, but some are actually still in service. In fact plans are for them to continue until 2034. Of 59 total built in 2019 the Air Force still had 51, with 12 designated to go to museums. As of 2023 they still had 45, with a new 10 year support services contract. Each year they get rid of a few, but they continue to be used in research and training missions. Saying it's not a 'bomber' is a technicality really. Most people do not make a distinction between bombers and strike aircraft, and the payload of the F-117 in particular is limited to the sort of ordinance that most closely matches the definition of bombs.
@@justicar2747 Sorry, lived in MO. They can hover. Don’t ask, won’t tell. Richard-Gabuer air show, other than being a dope show, tell me what else you see?
I served in the United States Air Force for 30 years, and the first half of my career was associated with nuclear weapons, including serving as a missile combat crew member for the Minuteman III Inter-continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system and as a crewmember aboard the Strategic Air Command Airborne Command Post. In short, there are few who understand nuclear combat better than I. I also consider myself to be a true American. What I mean by that is that it has never been the intent or desire of the United States of America to conquer or dominate any other country. The United States was founded on the principle of demonstrating the power of a free people to be governed as they choose and global free trade. The proof of that statement is the United States could, if it were our intent, to absolutely dominate the world militarily...there's not a remote second--the US spends more on defense every year than the next 10 nations combined. The US's primary interest is to maintain a stable world environment to encourage worldwide trade and commerce as this is in the best interest of all nations, including the United States. I've studied military history, capabilities and strategies for almost 50 years, and I'm a part of that history. The United States has the capability to make any other nation on earth "go away," but has no interest in doing so as is serves no meaningful purpose. I consider myself a military professional, and the goal of a military professional is not to "kill people and break their toys," the purpose of a military professional is to pinpoint and eliminate the source of violence against one's nation and people and restore peace as soon as possible with the absolute minimum of collateral damage.
I’m glad to see y’all learning about our military. It’s a very interesting subject, and one that I love viewing as well. I’m a native Texan, USA, and I’m very patriotic (like most Americans). NATO is the envy of the world, and we’re happy to add Finland, and Sweden to the family. Y’all are part of the family too. We ❤ you Brits. Cheers!
😂 Chinas navy can’t go further the. 1,000 miles from their shore! They aren’t a blue water navy an yes they count every little ship that would be no match for our smallest destroyer.
I don't know about Russia, but China includes their Coast Guard ships, boats, gear, and soldiers as part of their Navy, but the U.S. does not. The U.S. Coast Guard and Marines are under the Navy umbrella, but their "kit," as you Brits say, and soldiers, are separate, and their own entity.
Nuclear bombs burn at the temperature of the sun, if it’s a direct hit, Israel’s “shield” would evaporate, nothing can withstand the heat of the sun, well, not yet atleast
True, but not sure that’s such a positive thing there. No military has a chance to even make it to our shores. Personal guns don’t really serve a purpose given an invasion attempt
@@averagemobileplayergfs7383 They've been reluctant to expose their aircraft to risk, but even so appear to have lost over 300 planes and over 300 helicopters. The recent loss of that A-50 Mainstay will only make them more cautious.
You hit the nail on the head with that one. This is why Americans tear up when the anthem is played. Remembering the people who have given their lives and will give their lives for America.
@@Rob-metoo527Exactly. No one has given their life for America since WW2. Every war since then has been illegal and for American hegemony and corporate greed.
Aircraft carriers have around 5000 personnel on them. It's literally a U.S. base floating on water. They can see everything on radar for up to 200 miles away. For reference, point blank range in the ocean or sea is like 15 miles. So 200 miles isn't that crazy but no other military yields the radar capability we have. We have the 3 most advanced radar systems in the world and our Aircraft carriers use all 3 in coordination with eachother.
The Russian SU-57 isn't really a "stealth" aircraft. It has a RADAR cross-section similar to the American F-15 Eagle. It's actually more considered "low observable" than "stealth". In fact, all the SU-57s that Russia has are not official production models but rather "working prototypes" (still in development) which number somewhere in the 8 to 12 range. Hardly an intimidating lot. Stealth technology is extremely expensive to manufacture. Russia has had some serious setbacks with the proposed engines and even more serious setbacks in funding (basically, they can't afford to build them) especially since India (Russia's ally) withdrew funding from the program. After the abysmal performance of Russian weapons systems in Ukraine, India has finally decided to shop for more capable weapons from western allies like the USA and Europe. Russia has a long, storied history of grossly over-exaggerating it's military capabilities and weapons systems. Just look at the MIG-25 Foxbat or Yak-39 VTOL aircraft. Sadly, India has wasted trillions of rupees on inferior, obsolete and dated Russian weapons. Russia has consistently been 30 to 50 years behind western technology (depending on the specific type of technology). Most of the stealth technology that Russia and China possesses was stolen from the USA after one of the F-117 night hawks was shot down over Yugoslavia in 1999, and that was only because of a specific number of operational procedure deviations carried out by NATO on that particular night.😉
Fun fact: The Minutemen were American militia men stationed to warn of British attacks during the revolutionary war. They were tasked with being ready on a minutes notice. That’s where the name for our ICBM nuclear weapons come from.
@@jrolladarksine8551On @Sophie-ge7ti's behalf, lemme get "petty" -- BRITISH colonies b/c Minutemen were formed/mustered b4 independence declared. "American" not really a separate thing until 1776.
@@rcslyman8929nope, we have more military aircrafts sitting in our museums that are kept in operational order then Russia has in operational service. we keep them ready for the just in case we need them.
The U.S. and U.K. have very close ties and actually operate together mostly year round in and around the Middle East and are always training together along with other NATO and western countries.
Israel's 'Iron Dome' system was not made to defend against long range ballistic missiles. There are other assets that are incorporated into their air defense, but the actual system is made more for short range ballistic missiles, rockets and various other short range, little warning weapons. It CAN be used for that (ICBM's) as a last resort, but it is the wrong tool for the job.
(The British Navy ruled the world for a long time). Nimitz class carriers have 3 runways broken down into Flys. Fly 1, 2, and 3. The 'iron dome' in Israel isn't an actual dome. It's a strategically placed missle defense system (missles killing missles) used to stop rocket attacks mid air.
The video did not say that the UK had the second most powerful Navy. It said that the new UK aircraft carriers are technologically advanced. What it didn't say was that these carriers are much smaller and carry fewer planes than US carriers.
And as of right now, at least one of, if not both carriers, has a squadron or so of US Marine F-35's operating on them. The Royal Navy spent time on US Aircraft Carriers re-learning carrier operations in preparation for serving on HMS Queen Elizabeth.
The nuclear missles carry multiple warheads. As many as 10 per missle. Each one of the warheads can be directed to different targets. So, one missle could take out up to 10 cities. Why do people think Israel has some sort of shield that prevents missles from hitting it? Obviously, they do not have anything like that. They have what they call the iron dome, but that is not an actual dome. It is simply a series of anti- ballistic missles that would attempt to destroy incoming missles. All major countries have similar systems.
Yeah their iron dome is like 5 different systems that work together to stop incoming missiles. I don’t think understood the different between missiles (or rockets) and a nuke.

@@jrhayes6901 no but we also shouldnt level anyone who disagrees with us so long as they do so peacefully. now, if they happen to be not so peaceful, and decide to attack us, well, Japan did just that, and im pretty sure you can still detect the radiation, albeit its now "normal" levels, but its still there.
So here you go. What you know we have, our military R&D is about 25-30 years ahead of that. As a Colonel once told me, "If you can think it up, it is probably already old tech to our R&D". And here is something to ponder. In the 70's and 80's there were a lot of UFO reports of bat shaped or boomerang shaped craft that were flying at high speeds and you couldn't hear them. Then, in the first gulf war, we had the B2's show up for the first time. There are a lot of people, myself included, that believe that the majority of UFO reports are actually the USA military testing its new toys. As a USA citizen and veteran, it scares me to think about what we really have. I mean hell, there was a show i watched, where there was biomechanical suits created for soldiers, that would allow them to lift something like 80% more than their max regular capacity. It had sensors that were linked to a program that allowed medics to monitor your vitals, and if you were injured, it would tell the medics the exact injuries. It also had a helmet with a full HUD, that would show your location in relation to other units and your target. Of course, at $600,000 a suit, it was deemed to be cost prohibitive by the DoD. And that was nearly 20 years ago.
@@JNJ1983Those suits were awesome and lots of fun. They were environmentally sealed and would allow more than 80% improvements if you pushed them. The biggest drawback to them was not them being cost prohibitive. It was the battery life. They would only run for about 30 minutes. When I got out they were still working on the batteries, but there are other far more impressive projects than that.
Anti grav, time travel, transportation, space ships, etc. Lasers and rail guns is 1970-1980 and we've already stopped almost all research into rail guns because we have much better/cheaper now.
As am American. I can say we do appreciate it. The men and women of the military are heros. All of them. Not everything is great in the US. But those awesome men and women keep us safe and honestly protect the world
One thing to take note, to put things in perspective, is most top countries have radar on their jets [or assisted] that can spot an object in the sky well over 100's of miles away. Then also have missiles on those plains that can lock onto those targets with their own radar (or guidance) from as little as 30 miles or less, to 100 and 120 miles away. And when I say "lock on", they will follow you where ever you go, some as fast as 2-4 times faster than those jets can fly, or more. Those "stealth" planes, with a RCS that small, you need to be around or less than 20-30 miles away for radar to see them, as close as your eyes can, practically. If you can see them (eyeballs or radar), either you're too late, or they weren't shooting at you. I'm no pro, so I may be off a smidge in details. And one thing these videos never touch on, is our special ops forces. The ones that could go in and dismantle a government, base, and/or situation before we ever fired a shot.
@oDv. Well, I would hope you're at least an ally of the US... One thing the US has is an over-abundance of military spending. We've got our allies backs though (I would hope), and we not only caught up to Russia and Germany some 80 years ago, in at least the areas we were actually lacking, but surpassed them by miles at a few points in time since.
@oDv. look up the Sprint MISSILE, your opinion is 60 years out of date. THE Falcon had a 6 ft launcher, did twice the speed of Sound in that distance. Nike Herc would like to talk with you.
@oDv. We decommissioned a jet built in the 1970's that was supersonic. I guess you never heard of the SR-71 Blackbird. Beyond that the U.S. has several aircraft and missiles that are currently supersonic. So, apparently your information is 50 years out of date. Yes, I know these things I was an armament specialist in the US military.

5:30 The answer to the question does America and the UK share technology is Yes and a great example of this is the Nuclear tech sharing & cooperation that has being going on for over 50 years. 11:00 The Israeli Iron Dome is a short range air defense system specializing in rocket and mortar attacks, but Israel does operate several other longer range systems.
No one is invading the US by land. That's why our enemies are tearing us apart from the inside with propaganda and cyber attacks. Your guns do nothing against this kind of warfare.

There’s a couple interesting videos that speak on how and why the US has been able to become so dominant. One is “US Enemies are not going to like this” and another called “geography made the US OP” something like that.
They can be programmed for airburst or bunker busting applications. Airburst will cause more fire and shockwave damage as in Hiroshima, ground burst will cause an area to be uninhabitable for decades. Hiroshima was visited just days after being leveled and radiation levels there required minimal levels of protection.
Another comment or has already stated this, but part of our defense beyond the military and beyond law enforcement, is a heavily armed civilian population. Japan said it best when they decided not to attack the mainland USA because “You cannot invade the mainland United States.

y'all must have gotten torched in the comment from the Operation Praying Mantis video. I watched that and realized you guys just never had a reason to look into it. I can appreciate that you came back on this one and say hey we are here to learn. That's great. Y'all got a new subscriber. Thanks for the content! Also. historically being an Island Empire the UK Navy has been world class. It dominated for probably 200 years if I had to guess and didn't get passed by the US until WW2. There is a rich, proud and potent tradition there the as an American I definitely have respect for. IDK - Iron dome vs minuteman icbm is an interesting matchup, but at the end of the day each middle carries 10 independently targetable warheads. We have hundreds of missles if not thousands. US could litteraly make it rain nuclear warheads. 330KT payload wouldn't need very many to glass the entire country. You think the US doesn't have IRON DOME and Lazers and DPD and railguns and possible targetable EMP weapons? I'm a nobody, but I would bet they do. Ahah!!! the trillion dollar question! Very good- what role does AI play?
There’s actually way more than 5, not to mention that the new military branch that the president announced in 2019 it’s called space force and who knows what they have technology these days.
We have the ability to use an “EMP” electro magnetic pulse, which can shut down almost all electronics unless they are specifically shielded against it. EMP is a side effect of a nuclear detonation but can also be deployed by itself as a weapon. Imagine everything in a region that uses electricity stopping. The power grid going down, cars & trucks stopping on the roads and no ability to clear them, not being able to get parts to repair the infrastructure. Then getting nuked 😢
@@angryoverlanding5955 Doesn't matter if an appliance (including vehicles) is running or not when an EMP hits, basically if it's got a computer chip in it, the chip gets fried. The EMP creates an induction current in a circuit, which fries the conductors in the circuit, i.e. the semi-conductors in a computer chip short-circuit and get fried. The only way to protect it is to put the device in an environment where the induction current can't get to it, i.e. shielded in a metallic cage so the induction current runs through the cage, not the devices inside it.
@@Badger77722A precomputer car with the battery disconnected would be safe. No circuit. An appliance that is unplugged would also be safe unless it had internal batteries. For EMP to work it needs a complete circuit.
Marines are part of the Department of the Navy although it has a separate budget for most equipment. For example, the US Navy buys all of the Marine aircraft and allow the Marines to paint "Marines" on their sides. However, the Marines buy all of the supporting ground equipment for those aircraft. While not likely, the Navy does have the ability to take back Marine aircraft to make them Navy fighters. However, the Navy has no requirement for the Marine F-35B and all Marine fighter pilots are trained by the Navy and most Marine pilots are carrier qualified and normally a Marine fighter squadron is deployed with every Navy aircraft carrier that is deployed, but not on the carriers that are in port as they return to their Marine air stations until the next deployment. Also there has been a Marine F-35B squadron deployed aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth since it has been on deployments. I don't know how long that relationship will last, but it is ongoing as of today. This is likely to continue until the UK has enough F-35Bs to fully support the UK carriers.
My father was a contractor that supplied the fueling system for the F-117 Nighthawk and also the F-22 Raptor at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. I’ve seen some pretty cool aviation shit in my day 👍🏽👍🏽
Think about who built the israeli missle defense system. Hint it was the US, you think we would a tually sell defenses that we dont know how to counter?
UK and US aircraft carriers are designed and operate very differently. US carriers displace about 100K tons; UK carriers displace about 72K tons. US carriers operate with what are called "angled" flight decks, where the aircraft landing are at an angle to the way the ship is heading, but aircraft taking off use a separate area that is parallel to the ship's heading; UK carriers only have a single flight deck, which is parallel to the way the ship is heading. US carriers use a steam-operated catapult system to launch aircraft, accelerating the aircraft along the flight deck at high speed to achieve takeoff speed. UK carriers use a "ski ramp" where the aircraft accelerate down the flight deck and use an up-sloped ramp to give them enough lift to take off. Because the aircraft on a US carrier don't depend solely on their own engines to achieve takeoff speed on the short flight deck, much heavier loads and aircraft can be launched from a US carrier. US carriers carry around 5,000 personnel on board; UK carriers can carry up to 1,600. US carriers use nuclear reactors to generate power; UK carriers use conventional steam/electric generators. US carriers operate with up to 90 aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters) aboard during wartime conditions; UK carriers carry approximately 40 aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters). Currently, I believe the US is operating 13 aircraft carriers; the UK operates 2.
The Ford Class on station in the Mediterranean uses EMALS--electromagnetic launch system. The Nimitz of which there are 10-9 deployed use steam. The Nimitz carriers will be gradually replaced by Ford class ships with the next one scheduled for combat deployment in 2024 IIRC, Funny how nobody mentions our nuclear attack and Ohio Class subs. If China decides to attack Taiwan they will weigh in heavily, If somebody were stupid enough to launch ICBMs at the US, they probably would not live long enough to verify impact. Moscow...12 minutes or less from these platforms. Ever wonder how many subs are cruising undetected in the South China Sea?
@@normanharris3177Do not forget the Ford is slightly larger than the Nimitz as well displacing 120k instead of just 100k has 6 more CWIS and combat load out is 100 not 90 aircraft. Plus lots more.
Iron dome is onky good against slow moving target like conventional missiles and mortar shells, ICBMs like minuteman 3 move at hypersonic speed making them almost impossible to stop
The US cant just print money without serious consequences on our economy and the value of American dollars . However our current president doesn't seem to understand this concept.
@11:22 regarding Israeli air defense systems. Their Iron Dome is used to defend against rocket and low altitude missile strikes. They also have another air defense system named Davids Sling to defend against aircraft, ICBMS, and other high altitude threats.
I'm a little disappointed about your knowledge of the Royal Navy. That's how the UK become one of the largest empires in world history. It's only since WWII that the US navy eclipsed the Royal navy. With that said one of the things the gets most overlooked about the strength of the US is it's friends. How many of the top 10 economies in the world are allied with the US? China is the only 1 I can think of that isn't. Russia is just outside the top 10 at 11.
But we all know if it wasn't for the Americans the British would be speaking German right now And I don't consider these other top 10 economies allies I consider them a burden I'm sure the US taxpayer is tired of footing the bill to protect the so-called allies
@jdwilmoth omg... did you forget what America stands for? And by that I mean what the founding fathers said our country was to be? The defenders of freedom and democracy? I'm fine helping allies not become nazis, kind of a disgrace to think otherwise imo... Yeah it may be a burden, but what about life isn't? Might also want to keep in mind, some of these allies you don't care about are where your ancestors came from, more than likely... Also keep in mind, do you not think if everyone's military was growing faster that we wouldn't increase military funding to stay on top? Our military doctrine is to have an active military capable of fighting 2 theaters simultaneously, ever since ww2. The larger forces around the world are, the larger ours needs to be in order to accomplish the doctrine... To me supporting nato is the same as increasing our military without using our personnel. An attack on any member is an attack on all members, it's literally in the charter.

We were not ready for WW2 but we adapted quickly. We do not want war. But we keep going home and try to disappear, but we keep getting pulled into war regardless. After WW2 we began to establish overseas bases and created a large standing military. If we must then let's prepare.
If you're in the military, every day you come home safe is a good day. The work is intrinsically dangerous. If you're going to put your life on the line, you might as well be fighting for human freedom and dignity as opposed to globalism and slavery. Thanks to all vets and freedom warfighters today.
The worlds largest navy is china, since they count any boat with a gun onboard 😂 the strongest navy is American. The second strongest is i believe Americas museum fleet of retired warships😅
The first of the Gerald R Ford Class Ships deployed back in 2023. The Nimetz Class are being retired. The Ford Class can deploy it's planes for runs about 80% faster due to the new lift technology, which allows the planes to get outfitted in 2 minutes instead of about 10. Additionally, they have a Ray Battery, which allows for an energy based weapon shot, that doesn't require a casing. This is mostly used for anti-air and precision missile targetting.
So, the main thing about ICBM's (the nukes) is that they go above the atmosphere and re-enter the atmosphere above their intended target. Re-entry into earths atmosphere has these missiles travelling well above mach 10, which is way too fast for anything to intercept them besides laser weapons. They are literally un-counterable weapons unless you have a particularly advanced and powerful laser weapon. The only two countries in the world right now that the U.S. would be most unlikely to use these on would be Russia and China simply because of a philosophy called M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction). This has been in play since the cold war and essentially what it means is that If they fire nukes at us or vice versa, we fire nukes back and we all get destroyed. This is currently the most likely scenario for humanity to destroy itself and has been since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
I’m American, but even I know the long navy tradition in the UK. Yes, it’s a small country but through much of the recent 500 or 600 years its Naval dominance made it a superpower through most of the Middle Ages, Victorian, and renaissance eras.

F.Y.I. Guys our newest carriers. The Gerald R. Ford class CVN-78 can carry over 90 aircraft. 10 more are planned for the future. costing $12 billion U.S. Dollars each.
Israel's Iron Dome system is for downing small, short term rockets. They do have a mid-range interception systems, and some US supplied Arrow systems for intercepting long-range missiles, but those aren't intended to intercept ICBMs.
I live here in Phoenix Arizona and I’m a pool cleaner and I service Sun City Arizona and all day you can see fighter jets just doing training and you can just hear them all day so the US military is always active and always watching the skies
The US has multiple missile defense systems. They are created to detect and counter an attack from icbms at various ranges. The first icbm to be destroyed by a laser defense system occurred back around 2007.
The really crazy part is when you realize these are only the technologies we _know_ about. Things like the F22 and B2 were in planning decades ago and only recently had their existence brought to the public long after they were active. Just imagine what they have now they haven't told us about yet.
the iron dome is designed for air to ground protection most atomic bombs are detonated high in the atmosphere because they’re more effective when they’re blown up in the air
Great vids! Keep up the good work y'all... Hope the two of you can make it to a visit to Fort Worth where I live to get some awesome BBQ, rodeo and authentic Texas friendliness and culture. FYI I live across town (about 6 miles or so) but can still hear the fighter engine tests at Lockheed Martin. When I was in high school the manufacturing plant was run by General Dynamics... the home of the F16 fighter. Being at GD airshows and seeing the F16 in action drove me to study aerospace engineering in college...
The nuke warheads are now 455 kiloton . Also each. Missle can carry up to 12 warheads . Currently all u.s fixed wing aircraft except the a- 10 are capable of carring nuke tripped weopns / bombs . They have nearly finished clearing a combat capable directed energy weapons system for the all the aircraft of the u.s. military
Talking about the Iron Dome Defense System. The first one only needs to produce an EMP to compromise the defense system. After that, the warheads can do what ever they've been assigned.
U.S.A. has 11 nuclear-powered super carriers, Each carrier is escorted by a strike group of surface vessels & an undisclosed number of submarines, total weight of the U.S.N is around 3.4 million tons of whoop ass. A U.S. sailor would tell a Russian sailor," hold my beer while I kiss your girlfriend."
I was in the U.S. Navy from 1980-1994. My first ship was a Nimitz class carrier. Our crew was from 5000-6000 personnel depending on the deployment mission. A floating city. the length of the ship was around 1100 feet.
I believe I read that the US is now at 11 Naval strike teams. One is in the Red sea with another sitting ready to assist if necessary. We've definitely increased our air/land and sea since 2017.
Actually, the numbers have been shrinking for years. ONE OF the reasons is that military vehicles have been increasing in their capabilities while increasing in price.
We just debuted the Gerald R Ford super carrier. The F22 can't be sold to our allies. We didn't design it to fight the Russians or Chinese we designed it to fight the F15. We've been the superior force since the 70s. We've got the capabilities to take out a satellite from the ground. And we could do that 30 years ago
Another reason is our soldiers. They are not conscripts. U.S. military are volunteers, highly trained, well equipped and seasoned. Especially our special forces units such as rangers , green berets, seals, delta force etc. You might want to do a reaction on this. And you might want to check out our newest stealth SR-72 . It does about 6,000 mph, armed and is undetectable.

Do you still think Russia is stronger than America😊
I was thinking about when you were looking at that tank that jump scared itself when it fired and I was watching somebody who was talking about “yeah cuz in America are made well..Unlike Russian tanks if you cough too hard it will explode and Russians are leaving their tanks because it’s safer to fight with twigs.”
Hey you two! Love your videos! I just wanted to mention one great thing about AI/robots. American police forces and military forces are now using robots to diffuse bombs. That would be a great vid to watch, wouldn't it? Love you both
You guys stop the videos to freaking much.
Who you think helped Israel develop the iron dome
the fact we're allowed to see this stuff now means there is secretly better stuff allready
That isn't how the American military rolls. They underplay the statistics when everyone else bluffs about theirs. We will pretend to not see enemy targets ages before we show we can see them.
Facts.
@amys4392 absolute fact.
yeah, I heard the public is usually at least a decade behind military tech. So if we know about it, it's because it's old tech now.

My brother was helping to install directed energy weapon prototypes for the government as a contractor working for Boeing back around 2008. That was 16 years ago. I shutter to think of what we have now.

Nah, watching Utube is currently russias way of doing research so let’s not spoil everything!

Fun fact: 10 US stealth bomber F-117 hovered above Baghdad in 1991 for over an hour waiting for the air campaign to begin. Iraq was the most heavily fortified city in the world and had the highest density of Anti-Air platforms and the Iraqis still didn't know the Americans were hovering above them until the F-117 dropped their bombs on them.
Fun fact: The F-117 isn't a bomber, and it cannot hover. The F-117 is an Attack/Strike aircraft, and I believe the word you're looking for is loiter. Additionally the Nighthawk hasn't been in service for some years now.
@@justicar2747 Correct. Loiter. Cycled
None of these are fun facts. I'm a downer, but I hate the fact that we need these in the first place.
But we do need them.
@@justicar2747 They were officially retired in 2008, but some are actually still in service. In fact plans are for them to continue until 2034. Of 59 total built in 2019 the Air Force still had 51, with 12 designated to go to museums. As of 2023 they still had 45, with a new 10 year support services contract. Each year they get rid of a few, but they continue to be used in research and training missions.
Saying it's not a 'bomber' is a technicality really. Most people do not make a distinction between bombers and strike aircraft, and the payload of the F-117 in particular is limited to the sort of ordinance that most closely matches the definition of bombs.
@@justicar2747
Sorry, lived in MO. They can hover. Don’t ask, won’t tell.
Richard-Gabuer air show, other than being a dope show, tell me what else you see?
I served in the United States Air Force for 30 years, and the first half of my career was associated with nuclear weapons, including serving as a missile combat crew member for the Minuteman III Inter-continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) system and as a crewmember aboard the Strategic Air Command Airborne Command Post. In short, there are few who understand nuclear combat better than I. I also consider myself to be a true American. What I mean by that is that it has never been the intent or desire of the United States of America to conquer or dominate any other country. The United States was founded on the principle of demonstrating the power of a free people to be governed as they choose and global free trade. The proof of that statement is the United States could, if it were our intent, to absolutely dominate the world militarily...there's not a remote second--the US spends more on defense every year than the next 10 nations combined. The US's primary interest is to maintain a stable world environment to encourage worldwide trade and commerce as this is in the best interest of all nations, including the United States. I've studied military history, capabilities and strategies for almost 50 years, and I'm a part of that history. The United States has the capability to make any other nation on earth "go away," but has no interest in doing so as is serves no meaningful purpose. I consider myself a military professional, and the goal of a military professional is not to "kill people and break their toys," the purpose of a military professional is to pinpoint and eliminate the source of violence against one's nation and people and restore peace as soon as possible with the absolute minimum of collateral damage.

What you got to remember about Israel's missile defense system(Shield), it came from the United States, so obviously we know how to get around it
Nuclear bombs burn at the temperature of the sun, if it’s a direct hit, Israel’s “shield” would evaporate, nothing can withstand the heat of the sun, well, not yet atleast
And if a nuke was shot down it would just spread the radio active material further

@@Rob-metoo527Exactly. No one has given their life for America since WW2. Every war since then has been illegal and for American hegemony and corporate greed.
Aircraft carriers have around 5000 personnel on them. It's literally a U.S. base floating on water. They can see everything on radar for up to 200 miles away. For reference, point blank range in the ocean or sea is like 15 miles. So 200 miles isn't that crazy but no other military yields the radar capability we have. We have the 3 most advanced radar systems in the world and our Aircraft carriers use all 3 in coordination with eachother.
5 square acres of sovereign American territory...anywhere we care to put it.
The Russian SU-57 isn't really a "stealth" aircraft. It has a RADAR cross-section similar to the American F-15 Eagle. It's actually more considered "low observable" than "stealth". In fact, all the SU-57s that Russia has are not official production models but rather "working prototypes" (still in development) which number somewhere in the 8 to 12 range. Hardly an intimidating lot. Stealth technology is extremely expensive to manufacture. Russia has had some serious setbacks with the proposed engines and even more serious setbacks in funding (basically, they can't afford to build them) especially since India (Russia's ally) withdrew funding from the program.
After the abysmal performance of Russian weapons systems in Ukraine, India has finally decided to shop for more capable weapons from western allies like the USA and Europe. Russia has a long, storied history of grossly over-exaggerating it's military capabilities and weapons systems. Just look at the MIG-25 Foxbat or Yak-39 VTOL aircraft. Sadly, India has wasted trillions of rupees on inferior, obsolete and dated Russian weapons. Russia has consistently been 30 to 50 years behind western technology (depending on the specific type of technology). Most of the stealth technology that Russia and China possesses was stolen from the USA after one of the F-117 night hawks was shot down over Yugoslavia in 1999, and that was only because of a specific number of operational procedure deviations carried out by NATO on that particular night.😉

Israel's 'Iron Dome' system was not made to defend against long range ballistic missiles. There are other assets that are incorporated into their air defense, but the actual system is made more for short range ballistic missiles, rockets and various other short range, little warning weapons. It CAN be used for that (ICBM's) as a last resort, but it is the wrong tool for the job.
The short version is that the Iron Dome is just one layer of defense against Missles/rockets
(The British Navy ruled the world for a long time). Nimitz class carriers have 3 runways broken down into Flys. Fly 1, 2, and 3. The 'iron dome' in Israel isn't an actual dome. It's a strategically placed missle defense system (missles killing missles) used to stop rocket attacks mid air.
I will watch every one of the military videos you make 50 times.
Respect! This is all new to us so we got tons of new videos like this coming.
Same
Same here
Agree 💯
The video did not say that the UK had the second most powerful Navy. It said that the new UK aircraft carriers are technologically advanced. What it didn't say was that these carriers are much smaller and carry fewer planes than US carriers.
And they are our most valuable ally/friend so combined with the USA, we dominate the seas.
And as of right now, at least one of, if not both carriers, has a squadron or so of US Marine F-35's operating on them.
The Royal Navy spent time on US Aircraft Carriers re-learning carrier operations in preparation for serving on HMS Queen Elizabeth.
They also were made in conjunction with the US Navy.
The nuclear missles carry multiple warheads. As many as 10 per missle. Each one of the warheads can be directed to different targets. So, one missle could take out up to 10 cities.
Why do people think Israel has some sort of shield that prevents missles from hitting it? Obviously, they do not have anything like that. They have what they call the iron dome, but that is not an actual dome. It is simply a series of anti- ballistic missles that would attempt to destroy incoming missles. All major countries have similar systems.
Yeah their iron dome is like 5 different systems that work together to stop incoming missiles. I don’t think understood the different between missiles (or rockets) and a nuke.

So here you go. What you know we have, our military R&D is about 25-30 years ahead of that. As a Colonel once told me, "If you can think it up, it is probably already old tech to our R&D".
And here is something to ponder. In the 70's and 80's there were a lot of UFO reports of bat shaped or boomerang shaped craft that were flying at high speeds and you couldn't hear them. Then, in the first gulf war, we had the B2's show up for the first time. There are a lot of people, myself included, that believe that the majority of UFO reports are actually the USA military testing its new toys. As a USA citizen and veteran, it scares me to think about what we really have. I mean hell, there was a show i watched, where there was biomechanical suits created for soldiers, that would allow them to lift something like 80% more than their max regular capacity. It had sensors that were linked to a program that allowed medics to monitor your vitals, and if you were injured, it would tell the medics the exact injuries. It also had a helmet with a full HUD, that would show your location in relation to other units and your target. Of course, at $600,000 a suit, it was deemed to be cost prohibitive by the DoD. And that was nearly 20 years ago.
It's likely not a coincidence the U.S. far outscored the rest of the world on number of U.F.O. sightings.
@@JNJ1983Those suits were awesome and lots of fun. They were environmentally sealed and would allow more than 80% improvements if you pushed them. The biggest drawback to them was not them being cost prohibitive. It was the battery life. They would only run for about 30 minutes. When I got out they were still working on the batteries, but there are other far more impressive projects than that.
The US military tech that is known today is 30 to 50 years behind what is unknown today. Example are lasers and rail guns.
Anti grav, time travel, transportation, space ships, etc. Lasers and rail guns is 1970-1980 and we've already stopped almost all research into rail guns because we have much better/cheaper now.
We have so much shit we don’t know about that’s why I feel comfortable not worrying about it, no one‘s gonna mess with NATO💯
💯 facts💪😎🥇
As am American. I can say we do appreciate it. The men and women of the military are heros. All of them. Not everything is great in the US. But those awesome men and women keep us safe and honestly protect the world
One thing to take note, to put things in perspective, is most top countries have radar on their jets [or assisted] that can spot an object in the sky well over 100's of miles away. Then also have missiles on those plains that can lock onto those targets with their own radar (or guidance) from as little as 30 miles or less, to 100 and 120 miles away. And when I say "lock on", they will follow you where ever you go, some as fast as 2-4 times faster than those jets can fly, or more. Those "stealth" planes, with a RCS that small, you need to be around or less than 20-30 miles away for radar to see them, as close as your eyes can, practically. If you can see them (eyeballs or radar), either you're too late, or they weren't shooting at you. I'm no pro, so I may be off a smidge in details. And one thing these videos never touch on, is our special ops forces. The ones that could go in and dismantle a government, base, and/or situation before we ever fired a shot.
@oDv. Well, I would hope you're at least an ally of the US... One thing the US has is an over-abundance of military spending. We've got our allies backs though (I would hope), and we not only caught up to Russia and Germany some 80 years ago, in at least the areas we were actually lacking, but surpassed them by miles at a few points in time since.
@oDv. look up the Sprint MISSILE, your opinion is 60 years out of date. THE Falcon had a 6 ft launcher, did twice the speed of Sound in that distance. Nike Herc would like to talk with you.
@oDv. We decommissioned a jet built in the 1970's that was supersonic. I guess you never heard of the SR-71 Blackbird. Beyond that the U.S. has several aircraft and missiles that are currently supersonic. So, apparently your information is 50 years out of date. Yes, I know these things I was an armament specialist in the US military.

Most nuclear warheads don't hit the groune to explode. They explose in the air/sky.
They can be programmed for airburst or bunker busting applications. Airburst will cause more fire and shockwave damage as in Hiroshima, ground burst will cause an area to be uninhabitable for decades. Hiroshima was visited just days after being leveled and radiation levels there required minimal levels of protection.

IDK - Iron dome vs minuteman icbm is an interesting matchup, but at the end of the day each middle carries 10 independently targetable warheads. We have hundreds of missles if not thousands.

The British Navy ruled the seas for a long long time - they still are a formidable force.
We have the ability to use an “EMP” electro magnetic pulse, which can shut down almost all electronics unless they are specifically shielded against it. EMP is a side effect of a nuclear detonation but can also be deployed by itself as a weapon. Imagine everything in a region that uses electricity stopping. The power grid going down, cars & trucks stopping on the roads and no ability to clear them, not being able to get parts to repair the infrastructure. Then getting nuked 😢
Cars before a certain year wouldn't be affected. But there would be no way to fuel them.
@@IdahoRanchGirl true, I’m also not sure if it affects vehicles that were not running at the time, but the impact nevertheless would be devastating.
@@angryoverlanding5955 Doesn't matter if an appliance (including vehicles) is running or not when an EMP hits, basically if it's got a computer chip in it, the chip gets fried. The EMP creates an induction current in a circuit, which fries the conductors in the circuit, i.e. the semi-conductors in a computer chip short-circuit and get fried. The only way to protect it is to put the device in an environment where the induction current can't get to it, i.e. shielded in a metallic cage so the induction current runs through the cage, not the devices inside it.
@@Badger77722 Ah, thanks for the information
@@Badger77722A precomputer car with the battery disconnected would be safe. No circuit. An appliance that is unplugged would also be safe unless it had internal batteries. For EMP to work it needs a complete circuit.
2:44 "But are they allowed" . Trusting that reaction from the Brits is how we won the revolution haha
6:42 Marines are also on some of those boats
Marines are part of the Department of the Navy although it has a separate budget for most equipment. For example, the US Navy buys all of the Marine aircraft and allow the Marines to paint "Marines" on their sides. However, the Marines buy all of the supporting ground equipment for those aircraft.
While not likely, the Navy does have the ability to take back Marine aircraft to make them Navy fighters. However, the Navy has no requirement for the Marine F-35B and all Marine fighter pilots are trained by the Navy and most Marine pilots are carrier qualified and normally a Marine fighter squadron is deployed with every Navy aircraft carrier that is deployed, but not on the carriers that are in port as they return to their Marine air stations until the next deployment.
Also there has been a Marine F-35B squadron deployed aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth since it has been on deployments. I don't know how long that relationship will last, but it is ongoing as of today. This is likely to continue until the UK has enough F-35Bs to fully support the UK carriers.
YEAH, Yeah, yeah! 🙄

Think about who built the israeli missle defense system. Hint it was the US, you think we would a tually sell defenses that we dont know how to counter?
UK and US aircraft carriers are designed and operate very differently. US carriers displace about 100K tons; UK carriers displace about 72K tons. US carriers operate with what are called "angled" flight decks, where the aircraft landing are at an angle to the way the ship is heading, but aircraft taking off use a separate area that is parallel to the ship's heading; UK carriers only have a single flight deck, which is parallel to the way the ship is heading. US carriers use a steam-operated catapult system to launch aircraft, accelerating the aircraft along the flight deck at high speed to achieve takeoff speed. UK carriers use a "ski ramp" where the aircraft accelerate down the flight deck and use an up-sloped ramp to give them enough lift to take off. Because the aircraft on a US carrier don't depend solely on their own engines to achieve takeoff speed on the short flight deck, much heavier loads and aircraft can be launched from a US carrier. US carriers carry around 5,000 personnel on board; UK carriers can carry up to 1,600. US carriers use nuclear reactors to generate power; UK carriers use conventional steam/electric generators. US carriers operate with up to 90 aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters) aboard during wartime conditions; UK carriers carry approximately 40 aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters). Currently, I believe the US is operating 13 aircraft carriers; the UK operates 2.
The Ford Class on station in the Mediterranean uses EMALS--electromagnetic launch system. The Nimitz of which there are 10-9 deployed use steam. The Nimitz carriers will be gradually replaced by Ford class ships with the next one scheduled for combat deployment in 2024 IIRC, Funny how nobody mentions our nuclear attack and Ohio Class subs. If China decides to attack Taiwan they will weigh in heavily, If somebody were stupid enough to launch ICBMs at the US, they probably would not live long enough to verify impact. Moscow...12 minutes or less from these platforms. Ever wonder how many subs are cruising undetected in the South China Sea?
@@normanharris3177Do not forget the Ford is slightly larger than the Nimitz as well displacing 120k instead of just 100k has 6 more CWIS and combat load out is 100 not 90 aircraft. Plus lots more.
Iron dome is onky good against slow moving target like conventional missiles and mortar shells, ICBMs like minuteman 3 move at hypersonic speed making them almost impossible to stop

The US cant just print money without serious consequences on our economy and the value of American dollars . However our current president doesn't seem to understand this concept.
There are Lazer weapons now.
Reagan funded that 40 years ago. Called it "Starwars".
@11:22 regarding Israeli air defense systems. Their Iron Dome is used to defend against rocket and low altitude missile strikes. They also have another air defense system named Davids Sling to defend against aircraft, ICBMS, and other high altitude threats.
I'm a little disappointed about your knowledge of the Royal Navy. That's how the UK become one of the largest empires in world history. It's only since WWII that the US navy eclipsed the Royal navy. With that said one of the things the gets most overlooked about the strength of the US is it's friends. How many of the top 10 economies in the world are allied with the US? China is the only 1 I can think of that isn't. Russia is just outside the top 10 at 11.
But we all know if it wasn't for the Americans the British would be speaking German right now
And I don't consider these other top 10 economies allies I consider them a burden
I'm sure the US taxpayer is tired of footing the bill to protect the so-called allies
@@jdwilmoth 👏👏👏
Our allies are part of our strength…undoubtedly.
@jdwilmoth omg... did you forget what America stands for? And by that I mean what the founding fathers said our country was to be? The defenders of freedom and democracy? I'm fine helping allies not become nazis, kind of a disgrace to think otherwise imo... Yeah it may be a burden, but what about life isn't? Might also want to keep in mind, some of these allies you don't care about are where your ancestors came from, more than likely...
Also keep in mind, do you not think if everyone's military was growing faster that we wouldn't increase military funding to stay on top? Our military doctrine is to have an active military capable of fighting 2 theaters simultaneously, ever since ww2. The larger forces around the world are, the larger ours needs to be in order to accomplish the doctrine... To me supporting nato is the same as increasing our military without using our personnel. An attack on any member is an attack on all members, it's literally in the charter.
@@jrolladarksine8551 the founding fathers didn't say we had to be the world's welfare department they didn't say it was a requirement that we send foreign aid to over 120 mooching countries around the world these so-called developing nations that's been around for centuries if they're not developed by now they're never going to be. but we know what that's about it's all about the kickbacks that's how these politicians become multimillionaires
And I didn't say a damn thing about not funding our military but it's not our responsibility to fund other countries militaries the only ones that benefit from that are the other countries the politicians and the companies that manufacture these weapons like I said it's all about the kickbacks but I think we need to pull completely out of NATO they need us we don't need them and the US taxpayer is tired of footing the bill and you're right some of the my ancestors did come from some of these so-called allied countries but that don't mean we need to kiss their asses but you know what they say there's a sucker born every minute and that's what the rest of the world sees us as
We were not ready for WW2 but we adapted quickly. We do not want war. But we keep going home and try to disappear, but we keep getting pulled into war regardless. After WW2 we began to establish overseas bases and created a large standing military. If we must then let's prepare.
If you're in the military, every day you come home safe is a good day. The work is intrinsically dangerous. If you're going to put your life on the line, you might as well be fighting for human freedom and dignity as opposed to globalism and slavery. Thanks to all vets and freedom warfighters today.
The Israeli Iron Dome and the US Patriot Defense Missile systems are jointly developed. They use the same technology.
The worlds largest navy is china, since they count any boat with a gun onboard 😂 the strongest navy is American. The second strongest is i believe Americas museum fleet of retired warships😅
The first of the Gerald R Ford Class Ships deployed back in 2023. The Nimetz Class are being retired. The Ford Class can deploy it's planes for runs about 80% faster due to the new lift technology, which allows the planes to get outfitted in 2 minutes instead of about 10.
Additionally, they have a Ray Battery, which allows for an energy based weapon shot, that doesn't require a casing. This is mostly used for anti-air and precision missile targetting.
The Brits are close allies with America. We fight together.
So, the main thing about ICBM's (the nukes) is that they go above the atmosphere and re-enter the atmosphere above their intended target. Re-entry into earths atmosphere has these missiles travelling well above mach 10, which is way too fast for anything to intercept them besides laser weapons. They are literally un-counterable weapons unless you have a particularly advanced and powerful laser weapon.
The only two countries in the world right now that the U.S. would be most unlikely to use these on would be Russia and China simply because of a philosophy called M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction). This has been in play since the cold war and essentially what it means is that If they fire nukes at us or vice versa, we fire nukes back and we all get destroyed. This is currently the most likely scenario for humanity to destroy itself and has been since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Is it just me or does she look like a lighter version of nicki minaj 🤔
😭😭
I’m American, but even I know the long navy tradition in the UK. Yes, it’s a small country but through much of the recent 500 or 600 years its Naval dominance made it a superpower through most of the Middle Ages, Victorian, and renaissance eras.
To think. No other nation or empire in history has had such a economic and technology advantage. Then not use it for conquests.
Just imagine the stuff that we’re seeing now is nowhere near the stuff that we cannot see and they’re not saying anything about they have technologies 30 to 40 to 50 years ahead of our time even the citizens are not allowed to see what they’re doing a thing because of the United States in power The world is better because of that 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧💪🏼💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
England and the United States They are not just allies. But they are brothers and shoulder to shoulder together, no matter what happens to the United States, England will always be on the side of the United States.🇺🇲🇬🇧
Gerald R Ford class aircraft carriers are already operational. One was sent to the Mediterranean after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct 7th.
Never forget if any country tries a land invasion of the US, the amount of private citizens who are armed as well, an army all on its own for anyone to try it.
F.Y.I. Guys our newest carriers. The Gerald R. Ford class CVN-78 can carry over 90 aircraft. 10 more are planned for the future. costing $12 billion U.S. Dollars each.
Israel's Iron Dome system is for downing small, short term rockets. They do have a mid-range interception systems, and some US supplied Arrow systems for intercepting long-range missiles, but those aren't intended to intercept ICBMs.
I live here in Phoenix Arizona and I’m a pool cleaner and I service Sun City Arizona and all day you can see fighter jets just doing training and you can just hear them all day so the US military is always active and always watching the skies
The US has multiple missile defense systems. They are created to detect and counter an attack from icbms at various ranges. The first icbm to be destroyed by a laser defense system occurred back around 2007.
The really crazy part is when you realize these are only the technologies we _know_ about. Things like the F22 and B2 were in planning decades ago and only recently had their existence brought to the public long after they were active. Just imagine what they have now they haven't told us about yet.
the iron dome is designed for air to ground protection most atomic bombs are detonated high in the atmosphere because they’re more effective when they’re blown up in the air
Great vids! Keep up the good work y'all...
Hope the two of you can make it to a visit to Fort Worth where I live to get some awesome BBQ, rodeo and authentic Texas friendliness and culture.
FYI I live across town (about 6 miles or so) but can still hear the fighter engine tests at Lockheed Martin. When I was in high school the manufacturing plant was run by General Dynamics... the home of the F16 fighter. Being at GD airshows and seeing the F16 in action drove me to study aerospace engineering in college...
The stealth planes take out the defenses-then come something REALLY scary. The B-52.
Grandpa BUFF forever.
The nuke warheads are now 455 kiloton . Also each. Missle can carry up to 12 warheads .
Currently all u.s fixed wing aircraft except the a- 10 are capable of carring nuke tripped weopns / bombs .
They have nearly finished clearing a combat capable directed energy weapons system for the all the aircraft of the u.s. military
Guys, the Paladin is not a tank. It is self-propelled artillery. There is a difference.
Talking about the Iron Dome Defense System.
The first one only needs to produce an EMP to compromise the defense system. After that, the warheads can do what ever they've been assigned.
As another youtuber (HLC) has said, the F22 is the scariest thing with wings since the Cretaceous Period
It’s funny when the USA says they have two carriers in the area. They really mean they have all kinds of backup
U.S.A. has 11 nuclear-powered super carriers, Each carrier is escorted by a strike group of surface vessels & an undisclosed number of submarines, total weight of the U.S.N is around 3.4 million tons of whoop ass. A U.S. sailor would tell a Russian sailor," hold my beer while I kiss your girlfriend."
I was in the U.S. Navy from 1980-1994. My first ship was a Nimitz class carrier. Our crew was from 5000-6000 personnel depending on the deployment mission. A floating city. the length of the ship was around 1100 feet.
Printing money devalues the money and causes problems with inflation. They could increase funding for the military due to Taxes and the national GDP.
You should watch, How geography made the US so ridiculously op. Very informative. 😉
I believe I read that the US is now at 11 Naval strike teams. One is in the Red sea with another sitting ready to assist if necessary. We've definitely increased our air/land and sea since 2017.
The military agreement is called "The five eyes" which encompasses The United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Actually, the numbers have been shrinking for years. ONE OF the reasons is that military vehicles have been increasing in their capabilities while increasing in price.
We just debuted the Gerald R Ford super carrier. The F22 can't be sold to our allies. We didn't design it to fight the Russians or Chinese we designed it to fight the F15. We've been the superior force since the 70s. We've got the capabilities to take out a satellite from the ground. And we could do that 30 years ago
Another reason is our soldiers. They are not conscripts. U.S. military are volunteers, highly trained, well equipped and seasoned. Especially our special forces units such as rangers , green berets, seals, delta force etc. You might want to do a reaction on this. And you might want to check out our newest stealth SR-72 . It does about 6,000 mph, armed and is undetectable.
