Many Things You Probably Didn't Know About The Quickstrike Mine

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- The Navy has two types of in-service mines, the Quickstrike mine ( Quickstrike mine Marks 62, Quickstrike mine Marks 63 and Quickstrike Marks 65) and the Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (SLMM) (Mark 67). The Quickstrike is a family of shallow-water, aircraft-laid mines used against surface and subsurface craft. Quickstrike versions Mark 62 and Quickstrike Mark 63 are converted general purpose, 500-pound and 1,000-pound bombs, respectively. The Quickstrike Mark 65 is a 2,000-pound mine, which utilizes a thin-walled mine case, rather than a bomb body. The Navy mining program has several active developmental programs for mines and mine components.

2:08 Italian made, Iraqi owned Manta ground mine. Sticks out like a donkeys dick on sonar in the warm, shallow, salty waters of the Arabian Gulf.
Ground mines are worse because their charge weight can be much higher than buoyant mines hence a bigger blast and shock wave breaking the ship's back. Also the ship has a tendency to fall into gas bubble left by the blast.
Mines are wonderful devices and come a many shapes sizes. Encapsulated torpedo / Hammerhead mines on the high end to the low tech and almost impossible to clear free floating snagline mine ( ATP 6a Vol 1 ). A real headache in the Stait of Hormuz that no route survey could counter.
1:38 Bay class Royal Fleet Auxiliary with US/UK Mine countermeasures squadron based in Mina salman, NSA, Bahrain 🇧🇭.
Former mineman here, loved the video!
I still know nothing about the quickstrike mine. Where is the description?
Imagine laying a blanket of sea mines in the enemy's harbor... from high-altitude... doing Mach 0.7... *40 miles away.*
I'd hate to be on the receiving end of _that._
Not to mention those plans about adding a jet engine to the JDAM-ER. Apparently this goves 10x range to those glide bombs.
Not sure if that project was given a green light by the pentagon.
I'm surprised they have not turned it into a torpedo...
Release the weapon system from an aircraft..
When it hits the water, the wings snap off and it turns into a torpedo....
This would be very different to defend against.
As the falling projectile would be out the range of anti missile defense...
Then when it's in the water... Their is no real defence against a torpedo 😉
They have, its just it wasn't as good as anti-ship missiles which pretty much replaced them. The Mark 13 was one of the most if not the most mass produced aerial torpedo in WW2 but was phased down as anti-ship missiles started coming out as they can fly higher or sea skim at faster speeds and have a better range. The US has the mark 46, 50, and 54 right now which all have the ability to be air launched. But torpedo's ranges are limited, meaning the aircraft would have to get within range, as torpedo's are also extremely slow and could miss a maneuvering ship.
This is already a thing, called the Mk.54 HAAWC, and the US Navy is currently experimenting with it. Look it up for more details!
The captor mine then.
Heard from a navy guy you can shoot a torpedo just whit another torpedo, heard even there are two kinds of one is rocket launched the other from a tube. Also i guess they got something similar for ships.
Awesome.
Best armed forces in the world, keep it up.
Can they be armed to be turned on and off ? 👿
"Any ship can be a minesweeper at any time" haha
Call of duty Modern nuclear warfare WW3 can really happen like the video game.
