This channel and Warographics are where I always send family and friends. Such great content without blowing things out of proportion just to achieve certain analytics.
Yup, we have you to thank for bringing so much solid info to our eyes and ears, to make us more informed... So indeed: thank YOU for we evening you do for us! 🍻🫡
Congratulations on the nomination. Best wishes for winning. You may recall that the A.F. hopes to build a plug-&-play AI pilot for the entire fleet. A literal self-deploying KC-135? OK, I'm old.
😂 funny, except it isn't, it doesn't have the capability necessary to be the new light fighter for the Air Force. Maybe we should call it the Air forces answer to ultralights)))
I am imagining a radar targeting CCA getting into the MAR to provide targeting for AIM-174Bs coming off of Hornets well outside of the MAR for the enemy missiles. Wild times. Congrats on the nomination, and Thank YOU for keeping us in the know about what our military is up to!
And more impressive is that he does all of that with a high volume of released videos! Really makes those bigger media channels seem like they're sleeping 😊
Alex, as a retired member of the USAF and 25 -year working for a DoD contractor. I must say your videos keep up up-to-date and connected. I 100% enjoy your videos and equally love toe content. You tell it like it is and you also dig in to the weeds, most impressive. Keep up the awesome work and I sincerely hope you are recognized for your contributions in bringing Aerospace and Airpower trends to the masses with an award. Thx
Alex, any award bestowed upon you has been earned by you, through thorough research and due diligence. Just because you love doing it does not mean it is any less a job than anyone else's. It just makes you very fortunate, to be able to make a living from something you might just do anyway. Another winning point is your presentation, I find it very easy to listen to you, and you explain so much so it is easy to understand. As a Vet, I thank you for your service, and feel happy you have gone on to other successful endeavours. Wear your tux with pride, you earned it, and thank you for all your videos.
You deserve the plaudits Alex! Your vids are meaty and informative and somehow avoid the ‘on the one hand but on the other’ vagueness of so many others
YOU are welcome Alex, I am MORE than happy to watch everything you produce considering my attachment to the US military and enjoy keeping up with what's going on in it and I don't know of a "better" source to get information from. You do a great job worthy of recognition.
Scaled Composites has always impressed the hell out of me, they are like a slightly more open Skunk Works in how they come up with sometimes radical designs that are always functional and often outstanding in certain aspects. The Vanguard sounds like exactly what is needed in the upcoming air-war battlefield. I can't wait to hear more.
You earned it bro! The nomination and your subscribers are because of one thing. Your work. You did this. Take a moment to be proud of yourself good sir. Looking forward to the next video.
Alex, Way 2 go man you deserve it. As a viewer I'd like to say thanks for the content. When I'm having the worst day I turn to my youtube subscriptions to reset. Shows/Podcasts like yours are so gripping and well produced as well as informative. Thanks for all the times you turned my day around and the information I probably wouldn't know, if you weren't so great at putting on a show. Sincerely, Black Sheep
Congrats on the awards and nominations, getting aviation news that is acurrate (to a point of course) is often thin on the ground and tends to lack details. Any more news on the V-280 Valor? For this drone/ fighter, having it optionally manned would be a good way to go as the USAF thought that the F-35 was going to be the great replacement fighter for most of its fleet, maybe this manned/unmanned type of aircraft may be the way to go. Even if the USAF looks at this on sheer costs alone, having a manned version of this aircraft paired with two unmanned versions would be very cost effective and could be a good general patrol platform for the US and allies. Stealthy, massive range and relatively cost effective... whats not worry about if you lose 5 or of the unmanned versions in an engagement ( and they are only really going to learn from the experience anyway once the blackbox's are recovered ) Good job all round, especially with the channel 😀
Alex, I'm a relative newcomer to your channel but you've quickly become one of my must-watch channels. I'm grateful for what you do and hope you win all the awards.
Hi Alex, Many congratulations to you for your nomination!! Your consistent and sustainable effort in researching and making very high quality of each episode of Sandboxx is highly appreciated and respected. You are the only host I found in RUclips (to the best of my knowledge and views) who ended each episode with the world "...to find motivation...". Keep the momentum and keep the high quality of your work. Thank you.
Congrats on the nomination bud, but honestly pretty much every aviation video I watch these days quotes you directly. To me that kind of impact is worth more than any award. Keep up the good work Alex.
Congratulations, Mr. Hollings on the nomination. I wish you luck. With respect to the Vanguard, why slave the AI versions to a Raptor or Thunderbolt II? Since there is a piloted Vanguard, slave the AI Vanguards with various loads for a complete strike group. One AI Vanguard serves as an EW platform. Another serves as recon. A couple will have AA loads. And the rest of the AI Vanguards will perform AG tasks. The piloted Vanguard will manage the group and provide the human authorization. Since all craft in the group have roughly the same signature, it adds a level of difficulty to determine which craft has the pilots. Also, maintenance time and supply needs will be lower because of similar platforms.
At $5 million each they are probably missing a lot of systems that a F22 or F35 have. If you are flying into contested airspace you would much rather have an F35 with its AN/APG-85 radar then whatever would be included with the Vanguard. Flying with a Raptor or Thunderbolt probably increases the effectiveness of each Vanguard.
Alex, you are a rising star. Thank you Sandbox for your support of veterans. I am blessed to be a veteran and am proud that my son, my father and I believe every generation of our ancestors have served since the revolutionary war. GO AIR FORCE!
Ahh yes. The conversion from nautical miles to freedom units. That’s very “back-to-back world champions deserve respect on their name” energy from you ;)
Dude. I got chills for you. Congrats. Your reporting is top notch. It’s informative and factual, it’s relatively neutral, and you discuss potential implications without fear mongering or spinning a narrative. You deserve the recognition.
You’d be amazed at how far back you can trace Northrops lineage when you stand among their best work. Hangar IV at the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson in Dayton. It’s possible to stand in front of PAV-1 (YF-23), face Tacit Blue (BSAX) and see a full-sized B-2 mock up just to your right (it’s an ENORMOUS HANGAR). If you look closely, you can absolutely see the lineage between BSAX and the B-2, and from both of them to the YF-23. The rounded edges and chines and razor thin, almost imperceptible transitions from one to the other. Now with Vanguard, as you pointed out, you can clearly see the RQ-180 and B-21 DNA. And not for nothing, but I still see Tacit Blue in the aft section on the airplane as well. Great stuff, innit?!
Alex, thank you for all the aviation news we get to nerd out on! I get to continue to live vicariously thru your videos since I've been out of the fight for the last 24 years. My acft have long been retired and chopped up, or sitting as museum pieces. God that seems so long ago lol. Anyways, thanks for all you do for us and congrats on the nomination, you deserve it.
I think we need a lot more low cost combat aircraft like this for lower threat missions. I like the idea of a scaled up version of this along with a combat version of the T-7. Those two could really help boost fighter numbers. Of course the Air Force has to fix the pilot training system first because it's a mess right now.
Congratulations on another well-deserved award nomination!!! For my money, you’re the very best researcher/reporter in this field! And this was another first-rate report! 😀
They're game changers in so many ways that I hesitate on anyone's firm predictions. Following the drone arms-race and tactics in Ukraine, I see a strong incentive for aggressive drones that attempt to dogfight with OPFOR manned platforms. This further reduces the more advanced nation's priority on close-engagements and dogfights, yet significantly pressures the less advanced nation to increase its fighters' dogfighting capabilities. If these things can really be priced like a handful of Tomahawks, other roles like serving as wild weasels is a natural choice. In both cases, command might opt for a belligerent, expendable disposition. Taking out SAMs or fighters are usually both worth the cost of a few cruise missiles. Just the small drones in combination with ballistic missiles and glide bombs have done a terrific job of limiting bolder maneuvering in Ukraine, and we've seen elements like Russia air power retreat to the edges. If used expendably, the Vanguard could have twice the range of a Tomahawk missile, with more speed as well as its stealth profile. Stationing these in Europe and the Pacific threatens the entirety of Russia. The unpredictability of outcomes that this platform unlocks makes adaptation ever more difficult. Without an adequate response, do conventional air assets crumble in paranoia? I think it's absolutely terrifying to think about these continent-spanning machines being unleashed, perhaps silently muttering "I Have a Rendezvous with Death."
Alex you deserve all of the recognition and awards that you get. You’re the best in the game at this and we all appreciate the work you do to keep us informed on the latest and greatest throughout the forces. Keep up the great work buddy. 🙏🏼
