    10:08 really interesting insight into the making of these videos/the idiosyncrasies of working with DCS to make these complex scenarios. I think it is as much an insight into Cap's personality as it is into how the videos are made though. He often mentions hours of work trying to get various things to run correctly. I have a hunch that this is as much about Cap's brain fixating on understanding the problem as it is about finding a solution. In this example he eventually just has the flight of F-16's despawn and a new one spawn in. He could have implemented this pretty quickly but he spent three hours trying to figure out WHY the F-16's kept blowing themselves up before doing it. A stubborn curiosity. Like most personality traits it can be either advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the circumstances. Cap's (and others who have this trait) stubborn drive to understand could lead him to keep working on something when others would have quit, leading him to solutions (maybe better solutions) others never would have attained. On the other hand he might also be inefficient, spending far to much time trying to figure out why something isn't working when he doesn't need to or where there isn't much hope of finding an answer anyway. The beauty of this type of variation in human traits is that a community might have both types of people working on a problem- one that will solve it quick and get things running again, and another who will keep working until the problem is thoroughly understood and can implement an even better solution down the road. This is one of the things that make humans so adaptable and successful as a species. We have very complex variation in how we think and this means that more often than not we have a person/persons especially suited to take on any problem that arises.

      The SM-6 missile does not have to use all it's fuel for boost-only, so for reaching max possible speed. The SM-2/SM-3 airframe most probably has restrictions that not allow it a hypersonic flight (think of things like melting the nosecones and fins, exceeding temperature limits for airframe and so on). Most likely it boosts to about Mach 3.5-4 and uses the remaining fuel either for sustaining thrust or for a second impulse after some time - in the interception phase or just to extend the range.
      Maybe the massive booster propels it to designed cruise speed and the whole main missile rocket engine is configured for long sustain, or a multiple impulse work.
      For an air launch most likely the booster would not be used, only the main missile body and engine. 22:19 22:20 22:21

So I was thinking of you giving a group of humans a certain objective and having them decide what assests they want to use. And you as the other side. They will have access to small amounts of intelligence and have to use that to build an attack around that. Hope that makes sense cheers Cap!

    I think you got the whole approach to this the wrong way. If you are going to emulate an Ukrainian version of a Kinzhal strike, you should go the whole way. Use MiG-25's and convert them to fire ATACMS like SU-24's are firing Storm Shadows/SCALP's. The MiG-29's/F-16's can fire the SM-6's as decoys since the MALD's that you are using are just simply too slow.

      ​@@gundamator4709well for one, sm6 isn't designed to be difficult to intercept because it is itself an interceptor. Secondly, ships have multiple radars located all over, on modern vessels they're located on different sides of the ships. Even if you could get an sm6 to hit a ship's radar directly, that's far from taking it out of the fight. The reason we dont do this is because if you can get an SM6 through, you can get an actual antiship missile through and ships need those sm6's for defense.

      @@92HazelMocha As the US Navy has specifically requested that the SM-6 have an anti surface capability, and has explored using the Standard Missile form factor for anti-surface warfare, and the fact they've been successfully used to attack surface ships for decades, would probably indicate you are wrong.
      Would it be a waste to use them versus a carrier? Probably.
      But if they are employed in combination with other dedicated anti-ship weapons, it might be what's needed to take down a very difficult target. Particularly if they are targeting masts and superstructure, because that's what their seeker would be able to see.
      I would not want to be on anything smaller than a carrier, if I was being attacked by a vessel that could strike me with SM-6.

    I don't know how I would go about requesting something, but I have seen this SM-6 picture before as well as the articles about air launching the AMRAMM-ER (from the NASAMS 3) and comparing these to the AIM260 you guys have modeled.
    My limited understanding is that the AIM260 is designed around the form factor of a AIM120 so that internal stowage for F22s and F35s will not decrease missile count BUT there were other long range missiles under design and development that were larger and heavier that were not limited by such constraints.
    You guys have done a lot of work with NASAMS 3 and the AMRAAM ER, AIM260 and the SM-6 and I was wondering if it were possible to bolt all three of these to an F15 EX and compare and contrast them regarding range, speed, terminal kinematics, etc...

    The SM-6 just isnt designed for tactical SEAD missions. Its designed to intercept incoming threats, mainly aircraft, but also missiles, and also has the added capability of striking a surface target. However, its not a stealth missile, and it doesn't have any onboard EW suites to help it get past interceptor missiles. It makes up for this by being insanely accurate (crazy good seeker), maneuverable, and pretty much immune to jamming. So its best used against softened targets that are not defended by interceptors, or are only lightly defended.
    An air launched SM-6 wouldnt really be an SM-6 anymore. It would be fundamentally redesigned with onboard EW suites, a low observability profile, and probably a dual-stage platform. It would just be a supersonic JASSM or LRASM with less stealth and longer range.
    Which we dont really need... because the JASSM already has massive range and is stealthy, and the LRASM is designed for ships. And both of them work incredibly well.
    Im sure the Navy fooled around with SM-6 on aircraft as a way to test whether it was viable to use aircraft loaded with SM-6 interceptors as an extra layer of defense against incoming missile threats. I can see their idea being to stick a couple SM-6's on Carrier Group patrol aircraft, and have them in thr air so that if a threat is detected, the aircraft can fly out to and engage the threat themselves before it enters the carrier groups attack envelope.

  • @zaneroskoph7460
