Super Hornets Hit Houthis Hard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2024
- American and U.K. forces struck Houthi targets again following a series of attacks against commercial shipping and U.S. Navy warships in recent days. This time the strikes targeted underground storage facilities, which was most likely done with Super Hornets dropping GBU-24 "bunker busters."

How come one guy can do this so much better than news organisations? Knowledge, integrity, and a focus on the facts.
Maybe try following the right news organisations,I’ve watched and heard plenty of coverage on this from the British press.
British yes not US totally different level of professionalism. @@markhepworth
because major news organizations have agendas to push.
They will NEVER tell a story any more unelss they can twist it to their own goals.
@@markhepworth or you can watch them all and apply critical thinking skills. I like to watch Fox News and Al Jazeera back to back for a good laugh. The truth is somewhere in there, between them all. lol
@@GungaLaGunga Well,I’m afraid I don’t watch much fox stuff,it’s just entertainment for the gullible and the poorly educated,but certainly a healthy mix of news sources is good thing! 👍
It is so refreshing to get updates of world events that deal in facts vs. predetermined talking points du jour. Thank you for your clear, honest and detailed reports.
Imagine if we could get succinct facts like this from the mainstream media! A seemingly radical concept these days!
I'm not anti MSM.
Necessarily.
I'm against breathless news reporting by novice generalists who have no practical experience in anything deeper than stage makeup.
Ward's summary was so much better than what I heard earlier from ABC's news desk. More complete on what actually happened. Less concerned with counterbalancing this action with the Houthi perspective of it.
@@77thTrombone The last part is one of the biggest problems with MSM. Most people don't care what they think, (the MSM) we just want to know what happened. Any thoughts on the Houthi's perspective is just a shot in the dark from someone sitting at a news desk in the States.
Especially from a guitarist!
I hear yah! There no doubt in my mind that Operation Mockingbird is real.
If only the major news networks realised just how refreshing and also addictive this just-the-facts reporting is
The facts are also that America is wrong,he never mentions that,....
This is the channel for the best debrief. Much appreciated!
Agreed
Do hornets not have machine guns anymore?
Mr. Carroll you do a great job. I was attached to an F4 fighter squadron aboard USS Ranger in the late 60’s for two Westpac cruises Vietnam war. I can picture you in a the ready room preparing for a mission. Going over info and making sure everything you can do has been done before launch. Your preparation as a past fighter squadron duo seems evident to me in your preparation with your RUclips channel today. Thanks for your previous service and your current service to the community that follow you. Well done!
Hi Jim..small world here..My dad was on 40mm anti aircraft on the Ranger CV 4 in WW2..I have a CV -61 Ranger hat..Thanks for your service
You flew F4s on the Ranger? That is so badass.
@@AndrewGrey22
No, I was not a pilot. I worked on the radar systems of the F4 Phantoms.
BZ
BT
Freelancers or the 154 Black Knights?
I appreciate getting just the facts without any spin. A true professional.
Plus the added bonus of alliteration!
Its not facts,notice the clever use of adjectives to favor American views...this guy is simply a souless recruiting agent for fools who die for gas prices
We live in amazing times, such that your reports are this well presented, concise and immediate. Great channel.
We live in disgraceful times that we cannot expect the same from the legacy media or our politicians.
@@SamBrickell Broadcast news never went into this detail on the military specifics. That’s no disgrace. Nor do politicians get into the weeds regarding what generation the Tomahawk is on, or how a GBU works.
Your memory is failing if you think it was ever different.
Ward is offering a specific type of information to an audience looking for that type of information. That’s why we are here. I’m not sure what benefit you get from whining about “legacy media”, unless you’re just trying to be outraged about something. It’s not supposed to do what Ward does, and you should already know that.
Thanks for your good work, Carroll.
Like so many other people in the comment section I appreciate your attention to detail and reporting the facts in a clear concise manner. Instead of watching mainstream news I check in with you to get my updates. Keep up the good work Sir!
Thanks Ward.
Ward, excellent briefing that non-military types like myself can understand and follow. Thank you Sir!
Hi Ward. Thank you for your excellent report and description of the US and allied forces' response. Your presentation is very professional, and much appreciated! By the way, this is not at all surprising to me. I served with many of your fellow airmen as an "AW", on Sea King helicopters. I served aboard 5 US carriers during my Navy career. I remember how myself and my crews felt safe knowing F-14's were in the air overhead, providing CAP for missions I was involved with. I will never forget the surge of pride I felt when Tomcat and other fixed wing crews thanked me and my fellow aircrew for our role as ASW and SAR crew. All of us together were such an awesome team of aviation professionals doing our duty, protecting each other. All of us, aircrew and ship crew alike, helped each other come home safe to our families after every deployment. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your part!! It is great to see you are serving still by providing the public with excellent educational videos about US Naval history and current US Navy actions. Ooh-Rah, shipmate!! 👍
Thank you, Jim!
Love that '62 SG back there! And of course the LP.
Your reporting on this has been exceptionally reasoned and concise. I especially love the density of facts you lay out in these videos. This is what all news outlets should strive for.
Thank you Sir. I appreciate your coherence. Most major and minor "news" and commentary media sources present gibberish that seems to be written by three year olds on caffeine. They offer so many words in so little order with so little meaning. You do a great job. Thank you also for defending my family, my freedom and my country.
Thank you for the no-nonsense and fact based presentation.
Thanks for the update Ward 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Thanks Ward for another great update!!! We appreciate all the hard work you put into each one.
Ward, you continue to be a very valued source for news in our ever growing conflicts. The fact that you can provide experience based insight and analysis just serves to make this channel one of the very best out there.
Really appreciate these thoughtful updates which provide a much better picture and detail than regular news channels.
Thank you for uploading the best updates available!
Glad I found this channel and subbed. Wish I found it sooner, but grateful I did.
Great coverage as always, Ward.
Thanks for making this situation much more clear, Ward!
Great current coverage thanks
Appreciate at the updates SIR.......thank you..👉🏻
Thank you Mr. Ward.
Great getting unfiltered news from you Ward. This thing is definitely escalating.
Ward ,couldnt help see the two great classic guitars,your defense of this country enables me to play mine ,thank you!
Good job Ward. When I see your videos pop up I know I will get the truth and in depth analysis. Nice. Please keep up the good work
As always, thanks for the briefing. Great news! Already looking forward to seeing the next one.
Where is the French Navy? It seems if we are protecting world trade, they also have an interest to defend.
......they went into a submarine mode for now ?😅
Alsace D656 and Languedoc D653 are both underway in the Red Sea.
@@AA-xo9uw Both are FREMM frigates; very capable warships. They are destroyers really but that's splitting hairs.
Have either fired a shot at an incoming drone or cruise missile or ballistic missile being fired by the Houthis?
Great video Mooch! I love the new information and the solid recap of the overall situation. Thank you!
Thank you, Ward! You are my go to for this sort of information!
Thanks for the update and analysis WC.
Superb breakdown of a complex situation.
As always, great update Ward!
Thank you for the quality brief, as always. 🙏🏿
Thank you so much for these reports. All of my family (inlaws) all appreciate truth and honor . Your channel will be supported by us all.
God bless you and your work .
Thank you
Thanks, Ward, for a comprehensive analysis of the situation. Best to you and yours.
Thanks Mooch! The best updates I have found.♈️
thank you for this coverage Ward
I wish it wasn't happening but hearing it from you with a level detailed technical explanation makes it alright (relatively speaking)
Thank You for the great update Commander.
Thanks for your great program and content always to point.
Best analysis out there. Thank you.
Thank you for your work Mr.Carroll, from Italy.
Excellent and informative presentation. Thank you, Ward.
Thanks for the update!
Thanks for keeping us up to date. It is practically impossible to get solid data from mainstream press these days
It's getting spicy out there.
Iran is playing a dangerous game....I think they might be insane. Do they not understand they will lose?
Your concise and detailed coverage is invaluable!! Keep this up Ward you rock!
Good recap, Ward. Thanks for the detailed explanations and for keeping us up to date on these important developments.
A bloody expensive way for both Navies to take down cheap drones.
Henry, true enough. Maybe we need to build our own one way cheap anti-drone drones😮
SM2=$2.5M each, drones about $30k. Usual shoot doctrine is shot shot look means Navy is firing 2 missiles per drone...so $5M per $30k drone.😮
@@flyingsword135and if the drone hits?
@@flyingsword135which is why WC laid out how they are getting more intel and becoming more proactive in going after the bows instead of the arrows.
It will happen, a drone swarm will score a hit eventually, and then FJB will get really mean. Corn Pop found out the hard way. @@oldfashionedwrx3574
I am a military historian.
Pray tell; when was the last time bombing worked to defeat irregular forces in rough terrain?
2026
The Battle of Knoxville !!
Thanks for keeping us updated, Ward.
Excellent post Ward. You are one of the few that can be trusted!!!😱🙏👌
All these cable news & legacy media outlets could save a whole lot of money on high-priced military 'experts' and just put Ward on instead.
Great report as always, Ward. Informative and concise.
I'd bet they'd try to influence him to bend his reporting to their point of view, and he would not stand for it. That's why I like him on his own channel. He is responsible to himself and his viewers only and he has the integrity to make it work.
@@andrewvelonis5940 Possibly, but I don't think he'd bow the kneee.
Erm, Ward, the image at 3:27 is AI generated (the faces are absolutely horrific).
Damm, i failed to notice it with a quick glance
Ward, I enjoy your briefings because it is the straight skinny and not the chewed and defecated pseudo news available elsewhere. 😎 I am a 'Nam navy vet that served in OPS/OI aboard a destroyer, plane guarding for Ranger on Yankee Station. Keep up the great work. A HUuuuuge plus is that we hear the news from you and not a robo-narrator! 🙂
Thank you for your updates 🙏
The people who start these war never have their son's and daughter's go fight ..
Aimed at Houthis....no idea what they actually hit.
Great update, Ward! Thank you!
Ward’s assessments and insights are always top shelf, full stop.
houthie and the blowfish ?
3:27 No more AI art plz
Thanks Ward. Love the executive summary overview. What's significant and what's important debrief.
Ward, thanks for the knowledgeable update!
The Tomahawk is a crazy missile. Few understand how capable it is and what it will be able to do in the future. Considering already it can hit mobile targets, has a timed fuse so it can detonate in the air above a target for maximum fragmentation against soft target, detonate on impact against hard targets, or detonate after penetration for use against softer buildings and ships. It also has a combination penetrator and fragmentation round. It can also use passive radar to locate radar system and other targets and be changed mid flight to hit a new target. Now they are looking to add a ramjet so it can go as fast as Mach 3. They are also adding a camera that can send back pictures while it loiters so analysts can review the photos and see if they can find a specific target. Since it has over 1000 miles of range it is likely it could loiter for a long time. They are also looking to turn unused fuel into an extra air fuel explosive increasing its damage capabilities.
What could they do next. About all that is left is you redesign the shape and give it a stealth coating to make it harder to detect. This thing is mighty. No country has anything even close to the Tomahawk. Many say they do, but they do not. Most of this technology also will likely go into the JASSM, which is basically an air launched version. In fact I would really like it if the two could be merged so they would share most components to reduce costs. Between this and the Long Range JDAMS, the AIM-260, the SDB2, the US has some pretty powerful tools. They have a few nasties like the Peregrine coming down the line soon and likely not too much after that we might see pods with lasers to take out incoming missiles.
I want to see a large laser system that fills one of the 3 bomb bays in the B-21 that holds a 300-500KW laser they can use for not only taking out incoming missiles, but also likely incoming jets. The ranges should be enough that they could hit ground targets too. Think of what 10 B-21 with these systems and say 16 2000 pound LR JDAM each could do to a country. That is 160 bombs that can be individually programmed to hit any target within about 75 miles of the path of the B-21s and lasers with a 10 mile range that can hit the ground from altitude with near unlimited ammo. They could hit fuel depots, radars, SAM sights, and even aircraft and tanks on the ground if they wanted. They could even target infantry if not for the Geneva Convention BS. Regardless that is 160 ammo and command bunkers hit and literally thousands of other targets for the lasers. They don't even need to worry about stealth. Heck even a B-52 could fly over Russia all day long and they could do nothing right now.
Even if it takes 10 seconds to disable or destroy a target and 5 seconds to aim at another... that is 4 targets a minute. I would likely shorten their range, but with refueling before they enter their airspace this should not be an issue. Say they come across a fuel depot with 50 large tankers. Put a 2 foot slash with a laser on the side of each tank as it flies over and now you have no fuel depot left. They likely could target vulnerable spots on vehicles pretty easy. Maybe they would have to fly a little lower like 20K feet to be accurate enough to hit fuel tanks, munitions, and sensitive electronics. They could take out mobile ICBM launchers easy too. Similar ideas could protect ground forces and bases or naval fleets or even intercept ICBMs in space. They could likely hit satellites if they wanted.
@@Yono-vf4xz Because it is the radar, guidance, and control systems that are so expensive. You also need something with enough range and speed. Those missiles would be unguided if they were cheaper and would have basically ZERO chance of hitting.
Poke the hornets nest (csg) get stung i guess
And Uki's didnt want Aussie F18 hornets for free ' Aussie Trash'. Oh well too bad another poor Zelensky decision. F18 r great!
Really appreciate your insightful reporting on this!
Thank you for such great intelligence. Always enjoy watching your latest updates on the Middle eat. Lately I've been taking a look further back in your channel as well and I can't say I have found a bod video yet. Keep up all the hard work it's very appreciated
First view. The one common factor behind all the proxies is Iran. Currently Iran is not on the receiving end of the pain and hence is not under pressure to reign their proxies in. Is it time to take it to the Iranians?
You are amazing ! 🙄
@@kizzyp2735can’t help it!
wtf is china doing in all this? aren't most of ships in that region coming from china? i heard rumors that houthis attack only non-chinese ships...
Thank you, sir. Great presentation as always.
Egypt must be losing revenue generated by traffic through the Suez Canal yet it seems absent from counter measures.
Great breakdown, you give the information that MsM will not or is told not to give us. Not one mention of Xiden, thanks. FJB
Gulf of Aden = Gulf of Tonkin
This is the only place I go for news any more, no BS just good quality coverage of stuff that really matters
Thanks again for the great information.
RUclips doesn’t like my harsh comments.
Same here.
"Illegal Activities" in a place with no rule of law? Going to call BS on that. How about: "Enemies of all mankind?"
That's quite the rundown. Thanks.
Thank you Ward for the objective information.
Notice how they never fail to label the Houthi's as "Iranian backed" at every opportunity. 😅 Stop in the middle of what youre saying a couple times to remind us. I think they should be henceforth officially called the Iranian Backed Houthi Militia IBHM or maybe IBHTM for Terror Militia.
US backed Israel
Gee, I wonder if the $7,000,000,000 we gave to Iran for free has anything to do with this?
Dirwood Kirby assures you that that money can't be spent on weapons.
Exactly
Great coverage Ward, thank you greatly
Once again, thanks for the update sir.
Outstanding reporting Sir
Logic and competence, not to mention cogent info, are so refreshing and so much needed. Thanks so much Mooch.
Thanks again Ward.
Always the best Intel! Thanks Mooch
Awesome update Ward.
Thank you for an excellent and very informative report! It helps us understand what’s been going on!
Fantastic as usual Mooch!
