    I served with the United State Air Force for 30 years. I served on the battle staff of the Strategic Air Command Airborne Command Post (LOOKING GLASS) and as a crewmember with the Minuteman III ICBM system. Point being, "nuclear combat" is something I know a great deal about. Will there ever be another nuclear detonation? Far too broad a question as it doesn't distinguish between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons, and there's a quantum difference with respect to the yield and proliferation of both. I believe there's a reasonable chance of a nation using a tactical nuclear weapon (one that will influence the events on the ground in a limited conflict), but a very remote chance of the use of a strategic nuclear weapon as any nation that decides to use such a weapon (e.g., Russia, China and the USA--the hype around the nuclear capabilities of the DPRK, i.e., North Korea, are comical) would be committing national suicide. There's no nation with meaningful strategic nuclear capability that would have anything to gain by initiating a nuclear conflict. However, over the past decades, the USA has developed very capable anti-ballistic missile capabilities, e.g., AGEISS, THADD, Patriot, etc., etc., so I cannot conceive of a scenario where any nation would launch a nuclear attach against the USA and come out ahead, it would most likely result in the absolute annihilation of any such aggressor, and even with the potential devastating damage, the USA would likely recover within a matter of years and emerge even more dominant that it did prior to the conflict. No nation has anything to gain in a strategic nuclear conflict, and any nation desperate enough to use tactical nuclear weapons will likely be eliminated in very short order.

      That's absolutely terrifying to think about. I only recently learned about America's tremendous anti-ballisitc capabilities. Largely from HLC who claims that he's the leading expert in the field of missile interception. I had learned from a young age that icbms were pretty much impossible to stop due to their speed. But, it makes perfect sense why that's not necessarily the case now. And I've always believed that any nation who could defend itself from icbms would pretty much be unstoppable. Of course, that's not the entire story. But the fact is that once one side gains an edge in the MAD and turn it into Partial Assured Destruction for me and Assured Destruction for you, then there's no doubt that governments would begin to see it as more of a viable option. Before it was a no reward, assured-impossibly-high-cost. Now it's high risk potentially high reward. And no doubt that it'll just continue to get better or depending on perspective worse. Potential rivals to America have adopted asymmetric warfare and to top it off considering their economic and technological circumstances, I'm not sure if they could create their own robust missile defense network. It's scary to think about, because every year I trust my own government less and less. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I used to think we were the good guys. But worryingly, we might be living long enough to become the villain. I really hope my fellow countrymen start waking up to the dangers of power and start scaling our government back down. I just frustratingly don't understand why people selectively choose to blindly trust the government when history has only ever shown them causing harm. Just doesn't make sense to me.

    A hacker able to get by US military defenses would have to be the greatest hacker in the world. Government sites and etc have definitely been hacked before. But to hack military information to the point of being able to stop an attack or make an attack or even just getting classified information deep within the walls of security, that hacker would have to know at least the basics of how the military security is formed in the first place. And to have that level of security, you definitely arent betraying your country to tell someone else how to do it and outsiders wouldnt have the chance. Plus theres so much there anyway, like just a well organized web of defense and info. Not to say its impossible, but almost. The people on this side would 100% see a breach before it got anywhere.

    9:10 No. I’m a 58 year old US Army Cold War era Veteran, I was both an 11B (Infantry) and a 15D (Lance Missile Crewman), the Lance missile system was (it was decommissioned in 1991 due to the Anti proliferation treaty with Russia) a tactical ballistic missile launched from a tracked vehicle, and had a single 100 kiloton nuclear warhead.
    The reason I said no, is because anyone who thinks about “dropping” a nuke knows without a doubt, everyone else that has nukes will drop theirs. It’s called “Mutually Assured Destruction “.

    America is like that WILDLY dysfunctional family that the entire neighborhood needs for everything to work out. Sometimes the stress of watching the US self-destruct but then somehow still manage to show up when the pressure is on can be overwhelming and I don't envy that feeling at all. I can't imagine what it's like as an ally of the US honestly.

    I think nuclear first strikes (therefore any nuclear strikes) are a thing of the past; it was possible only during those few years when the USA had a monopoly on them. One irrational person can decide to launch nukes, but every single person in the kill chain must be irrational, too.

There’s way more people like him than there are people who would revel in the idea of global destruction. It’d take a truly insane regime from top to bottom to even seriously consider the idea.

    @1:50 the official numbers are likely very close to correct. I'm sure they are a good number of off the books planes but considering we have more aircraft than the next 7ish countries combined it is likely a small fraction for us.
    Also the numbers include all aircraft not just combat planes. So cargo, trainer, recon, awac (a flying air traffic control center) ect. Also a monstrous amount of that number is helicopters, we just absolutely outclass everyone to a disgusting degree in that regard.

    We unveiled the first 6th generation stealth bomber in December 2022. It is called the B-21 Raider. Rumor has it that the platform will have the option to be manned or unmanned, so I'm not sure if that counts as a "drone" per se. I am not sure the price tag on it yet, but I am guessing it will be between 900 million to about 1.2 billion dollars per unit. You talk about scary stuff then the NGAD program is up there but the scariest thing I have seen tested is directed high intensity lasers. They are ending prototype phase and I believe one is cleared for combat. I think the ship it is on is called the USS Ponce. There is footage of it being tested and there is no visible laser like in movies. There are test small boats simulating maybe a pirate attack and then you just see them explode in the test footage. It renders the entire hypersonic missile craze a moot point since laser weapons fire at about the speed of light.

    When it comes to nukes, we are far less safe today than we were during the height of the cold war. At that time almost all the nukes were Russian and US owned with a couple hundred total spread among all other nuclear players. There were well over 70,000 warheads at that time. The US (Russia as well) fielded an interceptor missile around all of its large coastal cities that was nuclear tipped to destroy bomber wings. This was the Nike Hercules in the US and it was armed with an 8 kiloton warhead. Thankfully those are gone as missile accuracy has gotten so much better but it is still a good area denial device so I wouldn't be surprised to see Russia or China with some. Those 70,000 warheads have been reduced to around 7,000 or just 10% of what used to be fielded and in the US at least only about 1200 to 1300 are combat ready. This makes us actually less safe from their use as the 70,000 warhead total global exchange is now down to maybe 3000 warheads which is very survivable. The old "Mutually Assured Destruction" really does not hold true anymore. Both Russia and China have in recent months stated publicly that the use of nukes to further their aims was within their planning options. Remember the type of leaders running both countries. So I reiterate we are less safe today and though I am nearly 70 YO I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a minor exchange in the next 15 years.

    Yes, a hacker is a big threat. However, hacking a US weapons system or communication system is a very difficult thing to do. The US Military has some of the best programmers in the world, who are very skilled in defending from hackers. Communication links with weapons systems are always encrypted. Many very expensive drones, if they suspect they have been hacked, will automatically ignore any further instructions and return to base. Iran has claimed to have taken control of a US drone.
    Many of these drones are actually controlled by ground pilots in New Mexico and Arizona deserts. This is many thousands of miles from the actual combat area. Larger drones like the Reaper used in the Middle East are almost all flown from bases within the US. Smaller drones can be flown with local control.
    A Reaper drone costs about $130 million.

    We also have a new stealth bomber called the b21 raider that will replace the b-2 Spirit stealth bomber. And also have a new troop transport helicopter coming out to replace the Blackhawk helicopter. The competition is down to two candidates and the winner will be announced soon. The Blackhawk will be used for secondary operations until its retired. And the new troop transport helicopters also have the option to carry weapons just like the Blackhawk. It will operate any much longer range with new efficient engines that can go faster.

    US weapons are very difficult to hack. First, all communication with a weapon is encoded, and unless you can break the code, you can not try to take control of it. Second, the US has some of the best computer experts in the world. They actively design protections to prevent hacking. A couple of drones have been successfully hacked by Iran.

    I’m 53 years old I don’t think it will ever happen but my comment for the difference between our nuclear weapons and China and Russia has nuclear weapons are nuclear weapons have three up to five nuclear warhead’s within one bomb Russia and China each have one warhead for each one of their missiles, so when they say we have 400 nuclear Missiles times that by five

  • @dwanemarsh4378

    I am 65 yrs old, a retired U.S. combat vet, was in the Iraq war 3 times, plus numerous other assignments. NO military person, despite what they say or think, EVER wants any country to use a nuke! Not even our own country! BUT, having said that, none of us know the future, or how bad things make become. Also, I DO think that tactical nukes WILL be used in my lifetime. Not full-blown nukes, but limited ones. And that may happen very soon. The "problem" with that is, if ANY country uses tacticals, they will get an immediate response, and that just MAY lead to use of the big nukes, which will essentially send us either back hundreds of years, OR wipe us all out.

      There are many plans to defend against such an attack. From bunkers, to interception, to strikes before the enemy is able to launch. The bottom line planning for an outright nuclear war is to save what you can, but make sure that the enemy is so thoroughly decimated that they will never again be able to pose a threat as your survivors climb back out of the ashes.

    On your last question. No. While cyber attacks are detrimental, they are not an end all form of attack. This also ignores the fact that the US leads the world in cyber everything. Cyber security, hacking, innovation, etc. That nation would be hit much worse.
    But in the end, a cyber attack can definitely do damage, just not on the same scale as other things. The US has been fighting a cyber war with asia. For years.

They wouldn't just be wiping out their target, they'd most likely nuke the entire globe. I believe the missile talks and numbers are there more as a scare tactic, for a county's "don't mess with us" points but I agree that it's a bit scary lol
