The latest 80's high tech from Germany and Sweden. Soviet Union still existed, but Eurofighter and Gripen didn't, despite being mentioned in the video.
The Swedes have always known that in a confrontation with the Soviets and now Russians, their air bases would be pulverized, so their planes operate on any road. Something that the French, Germans and Britons have forgotten, relied on sophisticated air bases for their sensitive Eurofighter, Rafale and now F-35.
Hello olaf. If i remember correct, the Germans during WW2 actually pioneered the use of roads and other "civilian" areas for airfields, to escape the allied massbombings. As far as i know, every major gasstation at German and Danish motorwaystops have aviation fuellines connected, in the case of every official airfields gets blown up. And dont forget that those lines are also used to transport aviationfuel to and from those airfields, so in case Airfield A needs fuel and Airfield B dont, its "just a matter of turning a valve". How it is in Britain and France i do not know. So its not forgotten, at least not in Germany and Denmark, its just very low on the list. The strategy of using civilian roads for landing and ad hoc airfields, have also been used in just about every conflict since with bridges and overpasses being used as cover and shelters. But i fully understand what you re saying, that a modern military often are to heavily relied on relative "soft" or vulnerable airfields and infrastructures making the "smart" weapons very vulnerable.
@@bmbpdk As for germany: No not every station and mostly not pipelines. Some german autobahn stops and some german streched of the autobahn where build in a way that they can be used as emergency air fields. Many can not due to overhead bridges. Some where planned and then some genius SHIFTED a bridge... Here is an example that works: ruclips.net/video/F_cxkF6qSY8/видео.html
@@mbr5742 Hello Michael. I wrote every major motorwaystops. That just what i heard from those who laid the pipes and foundation and read in books. And bridges have often been used as ad hoc HAS, iraq, iran, the yugoslavian wars, israel, syria, finland, sweden etc have either used bridges as ad hoc HAS or its part of their doctrines and training. Dont forget that airfields, harbours and C3 are the very first thing to be hit in case of a war, therefore every nation with a common sense have a alternative to those in their doctrines.
@@bmbpdkThat is unconvincing. Why would you add incentive to hit infrastructure targets together with high value military ones as part of force dispersion, and when exactly has that occurred in conflict? Either photos or locations plus dates will be in those books you read, so could you please share?
@@LosBerkos Bridges, road crossing, factories, farmbuildings and a like have been used for decades as shelter for forces and if you need a specific date for each time such tactics was used, you should read and watch just about any book and documentary about the subject. Your request just proof that you know nothing about the subject, have no interest in doing your own study, and have no common sense. Airfield are a few big fat static targets with military equipment focused on them, therefore any with a slight common sense, will know that that is where to hit first, you get the most kill per bomb in the shortest possible time. So in any war, forces gets dispersed throughout the area, if you cant see how that is a intelligent tactic, im sorry, but then anything i say will not stick. Documented by thousands of ATO´s, rebuilding projects, tactics, strategies, SOP´s. Three hints will i give you: 1967, 1991, 1999, if you dont know what those years mean in this discussion, you confirm your ignorance on the subject. If you need dates on every occasion, you have a complete lack of common sense, any kind of military knowledge and interest in the subject. If you need me to give you ISBN´s and titles for every book and documentary that document the above, you do not haven any interest in the subject and is only demanding that for the sake of discussion and it would be a waste of my time to give you those, more than i already have. If you need more than the above, im sorry, i wont give you that, do your own research. I just served the food for you, but i wont feed you.
Imagine a ground launched version of this one. Would be giving Putins mile and mile long convoys of armoured vehicles pure hell if he decides to invade Ukraine. It wouldn't need propulsion for more than 20-30 km capacity and still become a true show stopper of the invasion. At least for Putins conventional armed forces.
@@untrust2033 Sadly, yes. I have seen this coming for 10 years now. I didn't have Ukraine specifically in mind until 2014 but I knew this was coming with Putin in power.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but cluster munitions were banned for quite some time due to their propensity to leave UXOs (unexploded ordnance). This weapon was built to avoid unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions are still used today.
Yes they where ordered destroyed under the Rheinfeldt government in 2012. These would have been extremely useful in Ukraine, basically a cluster winged JDAM
Thank you for this upload!
There is something about those old videos, the calm, the information the knowledge and the voice of the narrator.
at 7:39 we see the future project like the KEPD which is in use today and better known as Taurus and is a cruise missile for use against hard targets.
This video is incredibly aesthetic, before it was cool!
Really good video

Artillery can do the job as well
Pretty much already fullfilled by sensor fuzed submunitions for 155mm guns
@@AttiliusRex Yes, the 155mm SAAB Bofors BONUS for example.

These are banned now, right?

Yes, they are not allowed under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, of which Sweden and Germany are parties to.
