- Exercise Rogue Ambush 21-1 is the final phase and graduation exercise of No 2 Operational Conversion Unit and No 2 Squadron operational conversion courses. It has produced the first combat-ready F-35A Lightning II pilots and co-pilots now fully capable of delivering airpower for the joint force.
Operating out of RAAF Bases Darwin and Tindal from 15 June to 2 July 2021, Exercise Rogue Ambush provided a realistic warfighting training environment including a wide range of tactical flying activities across the Northern Territory, utilising the Tindal restricted airspace and Delamere Air Weapons Range.

That was epic. Love the videos lately, especially this one.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It's like a movie, super well done - I want more!!!
damn, these promos are way better than the US'
At the start i thought i was watching the promo for the next top gun movie, slick production.
They paid for this from the money they saved from the Pilots stealing pens.... 1:08.
@@IT-sq5rj nearly spat my water out
@@hibojoe1477 😂😂
@@hibojoe1477 Hmmm. I had a thought.. How many pilots are there with clipboards hanging from their pens in their flight suits???
To the people in our military, thank you for your service. To our Government thank you for increasing military spending but we need to be doing more. Our priority until recently was our economy but without security there is no economy so our security must be our first priority.
@CC I agree, but. Thankyou
As long as we're all prepared to pay our fair share in taxes, I agree.
Still love to see the F-18As that my grandfather help build at CAC, it will be sad when they are all gone.
They’ll still be flying in the RCAF for many years to come (along with private “adversary” forces)
Respect and thank you to all our defence force past and present
man I'm loving these videos 👌 amazing work
Thankyou for your service
Thanks to all.
Congratulations to all the ADF members in this story. It's so important in this crazy world and political climate to have a second to none Defence force. With our British, American, Canadian, New Zealander, South African, Allies and our Pacific Islander Brothers and Sisters along with Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, French Pacific Islanders, South Korea and Phillipines.......Among other NATO Countries what have we to fear now ?
No one is an advocate of War but to believe totalitarian regimes to our North and in the Middle East will allow us peaceloving democracies to remain complacent and defenceless is naive and dangerous.
And of course our ADF continues to provide humanitarian aid in the Pacific and South East Asia, as well as assisting in bushfires and Coronavirus Pandemic at home. And that's commendable.
Thanks again for your service and for keeping us safe and free.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI
🤠 😍
Impressed by the quality of the video
Love your videos 💯
cheers! very cool, very reassuring to our F35`s are combat ready when are the rest coming?
pure boss mode these guys are
I saw 4 of these bad boys fly past walking by myself at Iluka heads this Easter and I was like the kid from never ending story fust pumping the air like a nutter.
Great video, well done graduates
Wow, makes me so proud to be a part of all of this.
Awesome video team.
Great stuff
great job team love it
Aussie Aussie Aussie!!! ❤🇦🇺❤
We only have 72 of these. Need to order at least 120.
I’m a year 9 student with some questions:
1. What percentage of applicants become a pilot? (is it a realistic career choice)
2. Why is fast jet pilot a “priority role” on the adf jobs website
3. What is the difference between going through the officer aviation path and the University path?
4. What obstacle causes the most people to fail becoming a pilot?
Can only answer #2, but given proximity of future conflict, pilot recruiting has supposedly jumped 800% ADF wide
@@LaserAU does that mean it is easier to become a pilot or have they managed to maintain their high standard while recruiting 8x
I can roughly answer 1, very few. Firstly you have to meet the right physical requirements i.e. height and weight, and then you need the right HSC subjects, mainly physics and at a bare minimum, advanced maths.
@@And_rew92 I’m covered with that stuff, I’m in advanced maths and I’m not over the height limit of I think 193cm. Are you in the adf?
@@motleycat5030 not anymore. When I was going through the recruiting process the height limit for Fast Jets (fighters) was 185, that may have changed since then though.
proud to be a aafc
😂😂😂😂
@@JohnSmith-qi6pm yep
Im so hopeful we can get Vtol aircraft for Our two LHD's...and keeping some F18 as either Reserve flights or " training aircraft for Pilot officers".
Agree we need that capability when other nations in our region are doing that
F-35's are not designed to operate without fast weapon heavy partners, something that the F-18 platform is entirely appropriate for.
@@FairladyS130 Sorry to tell you this, but your very poorly informed. The F-35’s role is to enter high threat airspace, kill aircraft and air defences, then go home for tea and medals. It can perform every task that the F/A 18 can (and many others) with lest risk to the aircrew and aircraft. I’m not sure where you gained the information used to formulate your opinion, but I’d suggest finding a new source.
@@Smokeyr67 I hope that's not official Australian doctrine because it's inadequate. To maximumise the value of the F-35 it needs to act as a informer and director of aircraft that have the many qualities the F-35 has sacrificed for stealth eg speed, range, weapons load. Of course the F-35 can join in the fun but by itself it's capabilities would not be near fully used. If they are not going to be fully used then why did we buy it in the first place?
@@FairladyS130 The F-35 on internal weapons alone can match (actually exceed) the performance of it’s contemporaries when carrying an equivalent load.
Go and look at the performance of say, an F-16 C when armed with 2 GBU 31’s and 2 AAMRAAM’s, with the fuel for a combat radius of 600 miles. The F’35 can do that on internal fuel and internal weapons alone.
Comparing the legacy F-18 to the F-35 is like comparing a mullet to a marlin, sure, they both swim but that’s about all they have in common.
So much better then the j20
Should we copy the USAF & buy some new F15EXs?
@Kcid Deah love to see the f35b on the Canberra and Adelaide.Our politicians don't seem keen at all.Really negative on the idea,don't know why
@Kcid Deah yep I find it really annoying, Tomahawks would be a good f111 replacement.But we don't won't to offend anyone buying them really stupid.We also badly need long range bombers with stand off weapons.12-24 B-21 raiders would make up for that terrible sub deal
@Kcid Deah why is it stupid?how is a long range bomber a stupid idea with a possible conflict with China coming.We need to push them way back from Australia with long range stand off weapons.Air refueling planes make easy targets.long range bombers are needed with our new subs not ready for decades.
@@stevethomas7273 We don't have a delivery platform for a Tomahawk, however the new subs will be equipped with a Land Attack Missile
@@MagpieOz Welp now we are getting nuclear subs and tomahwaks
Hmmm…how does the Wedgetail detect a stealth fighter?
It doesn't. Why would you think it did?
@@MagpieOz ..then how would the Wedgetail know where the F35s are in relation to the F18s to arrange and intercept?
Link16 is how planes get to know each others location. Wedgetails can sometimes detect F-35 if the angle is right (since F-35 only has front aspect stealth)
@@Anderson_Hwang not so wealthy I’you have to transmit your position constantly to the AIC so you can be directed to the opposing fighters!
Aussie badass's, right here!
C'mon Mate! Do some of that pilot sh*t!
Makes me want to download ace combat
👍
Ok
Stay thirsty my friends slick action service
Rule the skies pilot.
Please do not forget to pay tax 70%.
Tax is around 30%
