And the first moral from this tale: Might doesn't _always_ get it Right!
The second: NEVER underestimate the Brits!😊🙂🙂
When it comes to pulling practical jokes or pranks on others the British are the best 😂
Great reaction. I live near RAF cosford and they do air shows each year. The vulcan was included in the airshow about 10 years back I will never forget it flew over our home and the whole house and floor was shacking and it was still about 2000 feet not even afterburner on!!! Incredible machine absolutely massive, the howling of the engine is terrifying lol.
I spent a lot of time at Cosford
Vulcan didn't have after burners, that was raw power from it's Rolls Royce engines.
There was a Vulcan based near where I live after their retirement, and it frequently took off over our village when going to air shows, I was always apprehensive for the safety of our roof tiles. Unfortunately it is retired and grounded now.
Vulcans were ahead of the game & fitted with 'Red Shrimp' airborne high-bandwidth radar countermeasure/jammer. Although such systems are common today back then it was groundbreaking technology. Vulcans could blind localised early warning/detection systems, blind other aircrafts radars & even project 100's of ghost aircraft to confuse the enemy. They were almost unstoppable as they turned an enemy's own radar detection systems into a liability. As one Soviet General put it after the end of the cold war, they had countermeasures against every NATO weapon delivery system in that era but nothing to stop those Vulcans they gave him nightmares.
it was a high altitude bomber but when it was used in the falklands its approach altitude was about 500ft above sea level and then rapidly climbed over the cliffs to 10000ft to drop its bombs, the argentinians didnt know they were there until it was too late
500' is well under the length of 2 football pitches, almost ground level in aviation terms. Commercial airliners typically cruise at 31-38,000'
They very fact that one of the Vulkans pilot decided to land at a US Airforce base after "nuking" New York sums it up..... There was never a third effort
just taking the absolute piss that was
Be glad we are you allies
American defence: 99% effective.
British Vulcan bomber: 87.5% effective! lol
I bet Sir Kenneth Cross had to be carried out the NORAD bunker on a stretcher because of a massive smugness overdose
😂
He would not have made fun of the American military. He would probably have said that was a good exercise gentleman shall we have a cup of tea.
More likely from laughting his arse off at the incompitence of the usa airforce.
"entering Smug mode"
@@gamewh0re Kryton Red Dwarf season six episode three.😂
Very much a David and Goliath story. The US depend on large numbers and muscle, the Brits rely on small numbers and tactics.
There are situations where both approaches are needed, and when you combine the two together we are an unstoppable force.
Complacency is the mother of all fuckups and the US gained a much needed kick in the bollocks to wake them up.
If an enemy tells you you're being a dick you just hurl abuse back at them, but when a friend tells you the same it makes you stand up and take notice.
You're welcome mate.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
Kick in the bollocks? It got kicked in the bollocks TWICE!!!
@@thefiestaguy8831only twice. You have a gifted life mate. 😂😂😂
The British have done similar things quite often to US forces during exercises. British subs have sunk US carriers a few times. One of the more famous episodes is a destroyer rigged lights all over it. Then preceded to sail the middle of a US carrier battlegroup.
You do realize that the US puts limits on themselves during said war games?
As a brit I understand why the USA didn't want this story out there,but also as it was at the height of the cold war(Bay of pigs) etc,obviously the last thing you do is actually let your enemies know your vulnerability. So like he said we still cousins and we have been there for each other. However let's not forget the English saying you can't tell your granny how to suck egg's,
We have always been a fighting country mainly because for the past 2 millennium we have had the Romans the viking the Norman's from France etc,then all our civil wars before we became a united kingdom,
I remember my dad telling me about this, his dad told him, he worked on the Vulcans so people in the UK did know
I've never heard of it. And I was in the army. But playing pranks on the septics is a thing....I'm saying nothing about the 'ufo' in Suffolk.
When I was a teenager living in Lincoln we regularly heard Vulcans flying overhead, because there were RAF bases either side of Lincoln at Scampton and Waddington.
In the 1970s, I went to an air show at RAF Waddington, and they staged a simulated scramble of four Vulcan bombers taking off together. The noise had to be felt to be believed.
The Vulcans were used in the longest distance bombing raids ever, the Black Buck raids on Port Stanley airport during the Falklands War.
The Vulcans were fantastic!
Over confidence amounts to carelessness. The second strike only a year later by that time should not have been successful . Little wonder that the US denied it happened even once. David and Goliath with a sling shot - TWICE but at least the US learned how vulnerable they were and that was the reason for the exercise in the first place
RAF still the best Air Force in the world, I would say that, I was a fighter pilot for 9 years. America has been Nuked by the RAF again in 1999, again the Americans have hidden the fact.
Interesting..good comment mate. I'll try and find out about That 1. Cheers
was that simulated sub launches? Britain withdrew it's last aircraft based nukes from service in 1998.
@hendy643 that you know of . I've seen something that looked like a very modern vulcan up near RAF machrihanish when hiking/riding
@@dougnico2492 MoD Machrihanish has a 4000ft (ish) runway if you look at google maps you'll see that half the runway has been torn up. the large exes on that section indicate it's closed for air operations (on that section). Vulcan bombers need roughly 7500ft of runway (take off weight dependent), I'd suggest it's not used for Strategic Nuclear bombers. Especially since it's in part owned by the community and operates private aircraft. It's exceedingly unlikely that a civilian operated airport would be the home base for an air based nuclear threat.
I would know a little more than most (but obviously not everything), seeing as I was a crew chief in military aviation for 12 years in the relevant time period.
So much for signing the official secrets act eh??
And don't you boys bloody forget it 😉😈🫡
😂
They want to but we won't let them 😂
Hi bud, a few things to know. Firstly, when the vulcan landed at pattsburg air force base. It taxied to the end of the runway and parked next to a hanger. Atc didn't even see it land and when they saw it, they thought they had been invaded. All documented.. secondly,, lol this is priceless. The following year, they held skysheild 3, the RAF wasn't invited..also documented..
❤👍👍
The last flying vulcan is 5 miles away from me at Doncaster Airport
It used to fly over my house regularly
You from finningley too then, the longest runway in the country. I used to sit at the duck pond hanging out with my mates and see them take off ( jets etc in general) and the finningley airshow was always amazing and huge. RAF Finningley was down the road from Finningley village and the school was Hayfield Comp brown uniform ( horrible but good school) its a small world.
It wasn't called Doncaster airport then though was it? It was called RAF Finningley.
The Vulcan was an absolute monster of a bomber in its day as dvanced and dangerous as stealth bomber is today it could cruise higher than most fighters could reach at full burn carry a significant payload including nukes had a vast array of advanced electronic jamming eqipment run by a dedicated crewman in the belly all while flying like a fighter. Even after missile technology made high level bombing unsafe they became excelent low level intruders because the airframe was as solid as a rock. During these trianing exercises the vulcans were flying at the altitude of the best soviet bombers which was significantly less than the Vulcan's actual highest operating altitude. Even when a fighter got lucky and found them the pilot had too climb hard to intercept and if he timed his climb wrong he'd be left burning all his fuel just trying to get close enough for a shot as the bomber cruised on by ignoring him.
And the Victor flew higher and further, with a bigger payload.
@@paulqueripel3493 true but the Victor was a deeply flawed aircraft which cost lives and should have been retired long before it was.
Nothing else on Earth sounds like a Vulkan, it's a Banshee howling imminent doom.
If you have had heard it with you're own ears, then this makes sense.
@@Alex-sw6sh Yeah, I'm surprised the US didn't hear them coming 🤣
@@Alex-sw6sh
One flew over me once, just once, that was enough.
@@Wolfways
Only plane that came with it's own early warning system for the people at the target.
It was for its enemies 😅
You have to love the USA for there arrogance and the balls the RAF had to do the same thing each time and thats all down to that Angel of Death the Avro Vulcan bomber just thank god that it was the UK who had the brains to build the Vulcan and not the USSR as was then .. You need to hear the Vulcan howl at a airshow displays 👍
I once drove on the road which runs alongside the runway where the Vulcan Bombers were based when one was taking off, it almost blew my car off the road with the thrust from its jet engines. I'll never forget the noise, like all the thunderstorms you have heard, all in one go.
This was in 1960/61, in 1962 the USA had the Cuba crisis only this time the UK was ready to use the Vulcan's on behalf of the USA if requested, let's all be pleased they were never required .
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but the reason one of the Vulcans landed at New York was because the American top brass didn't believe it had got through the defences. Even the airport didn't know it was there until permission to land was asked
yes..i can see why the americans playfully hate us brits..we show them up - ALOT hahahahaaha
@@jakewright4394 Do you mean like the time they wanted to test their defences and the SBS delivered a 35kg mock nuclear package to every major Naval base on both the Eastern and Western seaboards without being detected ? I can't argue with what you said haha
I first saw a Vulcan in flight at an airshow when I was 12, in 1993. It stuck with me till the next time it took to the air when I saw it multiple times in multiple airshows in my 30's.
An experience you can never forget.
I was also very pleased that during the very last flight of the last flying Vulcan, the last airshow it was supposed to do was suddenly changed at short notice, resulting in it returning to my local airfield in Old Warden. Quite a surprise I must say and I felt quite honoured that this local airfield in the middle of Bedfordshire, famous in it's own right for being home of the Shuttleworth Collection, was suddenly the scene of the last public display of the last flying Vulcan.
The American Air Force base had absolutely no idea that the Vulcan was there until the pilot broke radio silence, Telling them they were on final approch and were goung to land.
The chaos this caused for the base was unprecedented, as all the staff rushed to grab cameras and take photos of the Vulcan, which was not supposed to be there.
Getting the cameras, destroying the films and then telling everyone not to breathe a word of what just happened was such a major task.
All while the British air crew were happily getting something to eat.
The vulcans stationed in Scotland were there to launch nuclear bombs on the USSR if they had launched on Britain or America. I watched an interview with a pilot and when asked what he would do after dropping his nukes he said probably go to the Solomon islands because they'd be nothing left to come home to
try bamber bridge
The beauty of Training Exercises between Allies!
The difference between the militaries of the USA and UK, apart from the obvious size, is that the UK thinks outside the box and uses cunning and sheer audacity amongst their tactical and strategic thinking/planning
Just remember that the Vulcans were simulating Soviet bombers by flying at the highest altitude a Soviet bomber could reach. The Vulcans could actually fly higher. It they had operated at their best altitude, probably none would've been intercepted.
A WW2 RAF joke use to be WOOD FOR WOOD😂, sine during WW2 the Germans would attempt to build fake wooden airfields in order to distract the allies from attacking the real German airfields only for the British to inevitably find out about the whole thing and essentially sent over a few bombers armed with wooden bombs with the words wood for wood inscribed on them 😂
sounds about right for real british humour "irony..we are not THAT stupid, try again" hahahahaha
The scary thing for the US shouldn't have been that the defences failed, but that the defences failed when they knew when aircraft were coming, where they were coming from, how many were coming, the technology they were using, and there were no commercial or civilian aircraft to cause a distraction or give false readings.
The Vulcan that landed in New York was just taking the absolute mick.
this has always been the point, they failed on a good day, on a day like the uk has every day where the russians come a snooping, the uk responds to air threats of this type within minutes
Maybe considered embarrassing at the time but you can guarantee harsh lessons were learned during a dangerous period of history. That's why we make good allies, train hard, train real and fight easy. oh, and never under estimate the little guy!
We all know that Russia cant do FA . When it comes to British training . You have to be the best .
Even china has been trying to get ex British military to train their air force.
The British are original thinkers and come up with surprising ideas, then look up how they sent one of these bombers to the South Atlantic 8000 miless from Britain when it only had a range of about 600 miles, it had to be refuelled about 60 times to get there and no modern day navigational system.
the situation was that the planes refuelling only had slightly longer range than the vulcans themselves if i remember correctly 2/3 of the fuel was to get the last 2 refuelling planes into position to allow the bombing run and a refuel after the bombing to get to a landing strip, and one of them failed and had to detour to a nearby allied landing strip
Happy memories of Vulcans in the seventies as an RAF wife. Fantastic airframe.
Luckily the anglo-american relationship is probably one of the strongest in the world. Were incredibly strong allies. Everything the usa does at war the uk supports like recent strikes against houthis, iraq and afghanistan, the uk invaded iraq supporting the usa after 9/11(canada and australia usually too) and uk military tech is basically usa military tech these days both countries r&d work closely too haha.
Hi subscribed due to love your take on stuff and how open you are to learn. It's always good to see a different culture and race take on what my country did. U.K did a bad when we ruled most of the world but we also did good and the good we did outweighed the bad. Keep going big 👍
The ONE BIG DIFFERENCE Between us BRits. And US Forces. Yankland TRAIN To RELY ON Numbers of Force n Technology. Wherelse WE TRAIN n RELY ON The Brain.
That is what War games are all about testing the systems
The point is that you YANKS WERE BRAGGING!
@@theSFCchannel I wasn't bragging about anything so don't say you Yanks because we don't know anymore than you whatever you are, they just take our money.
@@claudiaclark6162 I can tell that you are American, as your command of the English language is poor at best.
@@claudiaclark6162 Yes it was YOU yanks there were bragging that your defences were 99% effective. In addition you lot have literally never won a war against a 1st world nation , on your own. Proof of this is that the last time we BRITISH saw you Yanks, was when you RAN away in Afghanistan. This leaving your superiors: Id-Est the French and the British to rescue your citizens.
Also a final note : Afghanistan was a war caused by YOU Septics Tanks, by funding the Mujadeen ergo the pre-taliban. Just like you funded almost every paramilitary group world wide including: THE IRA.
I am surprised you can actually point to where a nation is on the map, as your knowledge of the bigger and better world is poor at best.
Meanwhile I have left the nations of my birth and upbringing (England and Ireland as I'm a dual national) and now reside in Malta
@@theSFCchannel Blah Blah Blah and life moves on
you need to react to how the Vulcan bombers flew down to the Falklands from Britain to bomb Port Stanley Airport, the operation was called "Black Buck".
But PLEASE do the one that is the men involved in that mission - not some idiot trying to do a quick summary!!
The original is long, but is the true version. It has a natural break when they arrive on Ascension Island.
Do it in two parts. You will learn a lot.
7 Black Buck operations.....
I remember seeing the vulcans do low level training exercises when I was young they were so cool they looked space aged even in the early 80's. I was lucky enough to see one off the last flying ones back about 2012 I hope someone or a company bought it and try keep it flying somehow. Those engines were incredible to hear and you could just tell by the roar off those engines which always sounded like they wanted to go faster and the wing and design of her the plane looked like she was going 100mph standing still
99% effective
It only takes 1% to be deadly
Of course I'd never heard of this until youtube but, for some reason I just loved the Vulcan. More than its ability, which I didn't really know about, it was just how it was looked in flying. I also found the English Electric Lightning plane interesting with its vertical takeoff. Last, but not leas of course, The Concorde a plaque of which, given to me by my grandson, sits proudly on my desk. (yep, just one of the rare times Brits and French didn't take the mick out of each other!
Sounds like these training sessions are vital. I wonder how many/if any have taken place since those so long ago and we just haven't been told about!?
Can't remember what its called but we also demolished you in ground war games and usa asking for restarts it was that bad
the funny situation that i know happened in the late 90's and early 2000's was that certain militaries started to take interest in people who played wargames as a passtime, and how thier brains were inventing new out of the box tactics, a relatively useless soldier could rise up the ranks for being a tactical genius and get to a point where, when they went back to civilianship, they were at a point of enough rank to even become politicians out of nowhere
lucky for America, the uk are family in a way
We are family weather you Yankees like it or not . Check your bloodline out as you’re all British or European . 😜🇬🇧🇺🇸 many Irish and Welshman moved there 😜🏴🏴
Unfortunately not been like that after president Ronald Reagan left office it now seems China is America's best friend
I understand there was a third sky shield exercise, which the Vulcan were not invited to take part.
You should look at the other V bomber the British created. the Hadley Page Victor and the Vicker Valiant
There was and the British bombed new York again, using WW II ERA BI PLANES
US were probably still pissed over the second excercise and didn't want to be embarrassed again so easily hahahahaha
I will never understand why the Vulcan bombers were decommissioned, or at least not redeveloped.
Like it's predecessor, The Lancaster, it was a fantastic aircraft.
Hi 👋 from the UK 🇬🇧 now check out Lightning vs u2 and concorde mark Felton production ( the lightning is a British interceptor jet)
I've seen this a few times before. But i like to see people reactions. I've noticed that a lot of North Americans looking at European history, mostly British history. We should learn over countrys culture and history. Especially if they influence your country for good or bad. Or just for fun. 😊👍
RAF👍
I was 2 weeks old when the second 'test' happened! lol
The 2nd exercise, they halved the number of “attacking” bombers, and double the number of interceptors, and still failed. So their only tactic was to send up more aircraft…which theoretically could’ve worked. I’m sure the US defence planners went right back to the drawing board and updated their tactics.
The RAF used the same tactics on both exercises, you would have thought the USAF would have been ready the second time. Anecdote has it that the one that landed near New York wasn't detected until the pilot contacted the tower asking for permission to land. How true it is, I don't know.
A previous comment above mentions it actually landed, taxied itself down the runway then parked next to hanger before letting them know, if true that is hilarious and a proper piss take. Also the yanks have ruined the English language 😂
@@nickchap USSF: "second to none"
UKSF: "none".
Another proper piss take that actually happened on a base where both were stationed :D
Every country is truly vulnerable I think... but amazing how such small force can be victorious being largely outnumbered. Would be intriguing to find who thought about this though as in" the USA boasting the 99% air defence system and brits saying wanna bet we can nuke you" or brits saying wanna bet we can nuke you and USA no way our defence is 99% effective and will wipe you out the skies before you drop any nukes" or just the normal lets test our defences 😂
Definitely look at hero's amongst us incident at Bamber Bridge US version and don't forget both times the US new the vulcans were coming .😂😂😂😂
Grew up in Lincoln, Waddington is just down the road.
the Nuclear Ready Squadron was in the air 24/7, circling around the city; bombed up with "buckets of sunshine"and fueled for Moscow.
World's only fully aerobatic heavy bomber, very impressive when they sat on their tails and turned on the afterburners.
Hi yeah I like that,
I'd rather learn my weaknesses from a good friend than from an enemy.
As a Brit, real talk - the US could easily do the same to us.
It makes me thankful for the mutual respect we hold for each other
Couldn't make it up could you.. good job we are 'family'
LOVE YOU'RE VIDEOS BRO KEEP THEM COMING AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE VIDEOS THAT PROVE WHEN THE USA GO TO WAR THERE IS NO ONE ELSE LIKE US BRITISH THEY WOULD WANT BEHIND THEM FIGHTING UNTILL THE END BROTHERS IN ARMS
Haven't we already reacted to this? never hurts watching again though
Quite a few US reactors have posted vids about this.
Make no bones about it this was a experiment for both the RAF and US defences to see strengths and weaknesses in their current arms...Both would benefit from result findings good or bad...and it was in both interests to keep the results private until way after the cold war for obvious reasons...I find it remarkable that two countries work so closely together that they can do this kind of exercise and trust that the results will not be made public by either party...which they weren't...Long may it continue
We'd probably find a way to "do it" again, hence why these tests not done anymore, lol
We did in the 80's with the Buccaneer bomber
During the coold war the British constantly had Vulcans in the air. ALWAYS in the air, they recognised in a nuclear war the UK would be obliterated , so the Vulcans were not intended for a defensive push back but as revenge. They did not enough fuel to nuke their Russian targets and go back.
It's a good job we are friendly with the US.
Look busy, the Brit's are coming.
Never underestimate the British armed forces same tactic employed twice, successful twice I only wonder what they would of done given a third try 🤣 Britain doesn't have nuclear defenses these days....... Or do they 🤔🤣
Sure we do. Under the waves is where we rule now.
@@burstcity3832 I'd be surprised if that was our only resource I was well aware of the sub, but personally I think there is something under wraps were not likely to get caught with our pants down but letting anyone know of any technology that may be better than they have may cause an issue I personally thought the sarcasm was implied
oh we have...i'm only telling you this because its been declassified and already made public...(dont want my arse getting a visit of the SAS) - thats how i found out..we love our dragons, "cough"
This was probably a good thing during the Cold War because it brought a jolt of reality to the War Hawks both in the military and tge Cabinet.
How? Well we just did the same thing twice, lol
part of the plan was to take in the fuel use and climb rate of the american fighters, and the willingness of an american pilot to overcommit and not be able to make it home (eg, do the job and then run out of fuel before landing) obviously, with the landing in canada and new york, the RAF knew this was a one way trip, and prepared for such, to be successful they only ever needed to drop the one simulated bomb, thats why 3 ran cover for the 4th, and why 7 out of 8 successes was actually way outside the expected ballpark with the RAF
The Vulcans were my fave military planes while growing up, afyer watching the episode by Mark I believe I chose well!
Basically there was only an 1/8th of a chance the American air defence forces could defend the US from a nuclear air attack! 😂
you can bet your last penny the Soviets found out.
2 Exercises how many simulated nukes 7 ?
The thing about using the Vulcan they were to use it at the speed and altitudes that the Russian bombers could do to mimic their craft. Not maximising the full use of the Vulcan. Still thing it’s stupid we don’t have a current modern like Vulcan mk.12 or something
why is it stupid?
I wouldn't be so sure..it's just the rest of us have no clue what-so-ever about it.
RAF
Pip Pip!
Also to remember, the US grounded commercial flights, and was expecting an 'attack'.
They failed under ideal conditions !!
They knew where, when, and how many, with no distractions. If the USSR had tech anywhere near that the Vulcans had, and the tech the Soviets had was unknown at the time, the US wouldn't have stood a chance if attacked on a weekday.
Straight from mark Felton channel
Check 13 hours that saved Britain.
My brother in law was there he was a fitter on the Vulcan the one captured was sacrifice for the other's.
Didn't you just release a video about the US being an impenetrable fortress Darion?
🤣yea lol but I just assumed nuclear weapons wouldn't come out
And just to add insult to injury, the 2nd raid, which "Nuked" New York, then landed at its own Airport 10:41 😍🤣😂🤣😂😍
Ps the Jamming the Vulcans used made them appear on the enemy's RADAR to be elsewhere, to where they actually were, neat. Love from UK
Beginning of video says to comment he is human and likes to respond yet only saw 1 reply or did you mean you only respond to people paying to sub to your patreon
What has Port Stanley and Mrs Spock got in common?
They saw the Vulcan coming but it was too late?
@@quercus21 nope they both got f****d by Vulcans
@@tonyd3927🤣🤦♂️
watch the falklands war🤬
If it’s not broke don’t fix it, the Vulcan was used in the Falklands conflict too bombing an Argentinian military runway
Americans have the money due to size and uk have the lion within to fight
