Operation Rolling Thunder isn't going well for the United States. The North Vietnamese VPAF have acquired the potent MiG-21 interceptor, but fighter ace Robin Olds hatches a plan. He sets a trap, "in disguise" as F-105 Thunderchiefs, his wing of F-4 Phantom fighters will lie in wait to surprise and destroy the MiGs.

I think the bolo he was referring to was the groucho bolo. It's three strands of cordage with balls attached at the ends. You twirl the bolo around your head then let go to hit your target. Which describes what they were doing in combat.
Given world of tanks has helped find tank museums and renovating old tanks, this is a very sensible choice for a sponsor. Appreciate the integrity with the reupload, very few creators have such
better sponsor than betterhelp lol
Will you please make the operation postmasters?
Feel Like a real tank commander, does a 360 flip in a tank.
For those that wonder why this was re-uploaded the original sponsor for this video was Better Help and the operations room didn’t know about their shadiness until people pointed it out in the original release.
what makes them shady?
@Galnar They're a therapy service, ostensibly bound by HIPAA, but had been collecting and selling patients' data.
@@Galnar Selling user data illegally. There are also a lot of users who claim that their therapists aren't good.
@@BonesCapone I see, well they sound lovely, cheers
@@Galnar alot of people are reporting most data they harvest is sold and alot of the "therapists" aren't even licensed and are just facebook moms or their equivalent
Completely my own fault but re-uploads tend to struggle. If you enjoy this episode, could you please hit the like button and/or leave a comment, it helps us massively. Appreciate you all!
why did you reup?
@@mettjaeger previous had a betterhelp sponsor
@@quietdignityandgrace What the fuck are you even on about
@@quietdignityandgrace i would say selling patients personal information and not actually providing accredited mental health care. would upset people
thank you very much sir, this may well have lost you money, but you will no doubt have maintained subscribers who would otherwise have left. jolly good show.
Worth rewatching and I appreciate professional integrity
I appreciate that, thank you
Watching again at .25 speed to support the video.
Watching again!
what do u mean?
@@josephpaulson4479Smart I'll do that as well
Congrats on your marriage! And thank you for vetting your sponsor as well as you did. We appreciate your efforts.
The Operation Room is not only a good military history animation channel, they also have professional integrity.
When was this originally posted?
@@hypeflexington7081 5 days ago I think
I second that
What does professional integrity even mean in this context?
@@spyczech They choose to remove the video when they learned the problems with the previous sponsor.
Man that wouldve been frustrating for those pilots having textbook shots and the missiles failing to ignite or track
Reminds one of the Mark 14 submarine torpedos.
AIM-7 Sparrows had a bad reputation. AIM-9 Sidewinders, not so much but the ones used in the video were young.
Today, the AIM-9X is super deadly. Its highly accurate, fast and VERY maneuverable. For example, the F-35 Lightning to use IR receivers that can detect targets 360 in any direction and the pilots can track and lock onto them. The AIM-9X can be fired at any target in any direction and turn almost immediately to fly at the target. I'm pretty sure the F-15EX Eagle II might have similar targeting capability but that plane can literally carry a dozen or more missiles.
@@thudthud5423 And for the record, the last versions of the Sparrow were a lot better, too, scoring several kills in the Gulf War. By the 1980s these missiles had all been upgraded with way better electronics and made more reliable.
@@thudthud5423 But how do they handle the tropical environment? If the modern versions electronics are still vulnerable to the tropical conditions, they're no better than they were in the 70s.
AND they didn’t even have cannons early in the war 💀
Robin Old's mustache alone made him a legend in the USAF; the fact that he was the proverbial fighter pilot's fighter pilot was just icing on the cake.
That is certainly a magnificent lip sweater, as TFE called it.
@benn454 yep, and if I remember correctly, all the rest of the Wolfpack decided to emulate the boss and grow their own.
Icing is literally the reason he had to shave it off when he retired. As the mou iced up when he was skiing, complete with snot.
Its incredible seeing someone actually cancelling the sponsorship and even reuploading. Much respect to you sir
3:50 That’s my wives uncle smiling talking with Olds. His name was Bill Kirk and he knocked down 2 MIG 21s during his time in Vietnam. He was there on the BOLO Mission. Kirk would retire a 4 Star general and head all USAF personnel in Europe in 1989. Kirk was also the godfather of the Red Flag exercise in Nevada each year. Kirk actually gave Robin Olds his check out flight in the F-4 Phantom before Olds left for Vietnam. Not bad for a country boy from northeast Louisiana! 😊❤
@@PattMcCrotch Country boy is better option in many cases. It does not help if you are a doctor or lawyer when it comes to practical problem solving or action.
@@OriginalThisAndThat Aint that the truth!
Lovely additional colour - thank you for sharing.
Kudos for having the integrity to re-work this video due to the previous sponsor. This was an excellent video on Operations Bolo and I'm definitely sharing with my circles. Hope to see more videos on aerial combat over Vietnam, especially those covering the pilots of the Vietnamese Air Force.
Thanks for the re-upload. Shows that you have a lot of integrity👏👏👏
Did they get something wrong on the original?
@@yousarrname3051 The original was sponsored by betterhelp.
@@yousarrname3051 The original had a sponsorship from Betterhelp, an online therapy service that is extremely shady, sells user data, and there are claims that the therapists aren't good. People pointed this out and in this reupload, they removed the sponsored segment from them.
@@yousarrname3051they had a sponsorship from better health which has been illegally selling patient data and many say it’s not very good therapy, operations room didn’t know and returned the money after finding out and pulled the video
@@yousarrname3051 They accepted a sponsorship from an online therapy platform that got caught selling private customer data.
Col Olds mustache is also credited with 5 kills.
This is the kind of dedication to doing the right thing and integrity of character that has earned all of our trust and makes us all keep coming back. Amazing work, keep it up :)
Not getting Ace status just so you can keep fighting is a gigachad move
Does that mean he ceased flying air-to-air combat missions, otherwise wouldn't that be abandoning duty?
He also managed to get ahold of the mission log books and fudged his mission count to stay in the fight. In Vietnam, pilots were rotated out after 100 missions. Following his retirement, Olds estimated he flew close to 200 missions over Vietnam. True Warrior.
Fun fact: despite the fact that the F-4C didn't have an internal gun, it scored more air to air gun kills (using gun pods) during the Vietnam war than the F-4E (the variant with an internal gun) did during the entirety of its service life with the USAF.
Better training and missile reliability I image helped.
The Navy F4 Phantoms were aided by TOPGUN being formed.
The Operations Room is probably the only content creator that will listen to people pointing out bad sponsors, go back, and change them. Great video!
Lots of people stop using bad sponsors and even more never have one in the first place. Reuploading is a decent thing to do but lets not pretend this was ok.
@@XMysticHerox well true, but some people that had bad sponsors didn't do anything about it, but its slowly coming to an end
who was the og sponsor?
@@greatcanadianmoose3965 Betterhelp.
@@greatcanadianmoose3965 better help
This period of air combat history is so fascinating. Jets had advanced to the point of being recognizably "modern" with avionics, supersonic speeds, and guided missiles but due to the limitations of early electronics you still had close quarters dogfights like this. These episodes on the air battles of the Vietnam, Arab-Israeli and Indo-Pakistani wars are especially interesting because of that aspect.
i just don't understand what was the Vietnamese tactic here. Other then the first Mig, did they even attack? They didn't carry missiles at all? Why did they show up piecemeal? They seem to be criss-crossing the path of the americans without any kind of logic. Would love to see this engagement from the Vietnamese perspective, they must have analyzed this engagement considering the serious losses they had.
@@thingamajigwhy would they carry missiles to shoot down slow and heavy bombers?
@@thingamajig The VPAF had fallen into habit. Since the US planners kept doing practically the same thing. The Vietnamese controllers would listen to the transmissions and specifically target the slow & heavily laden US bombers with their MiGs because those bombers were easy targets. The MiGs would launch once GCI told them the bombers were coming and the MiGs would quickly streak through the formation, shooting as they go, then bug out back to base where they would be safe. Because the White House prohibited it's forces from attacking them. The ruse tricked them into attacking the US fighters instead of the bombers this time. The VPAF temporarily suspended their interceptions until they figured out a new doctrine afterward and could get replacements.
+1,000,000 integrity points for re-uploading this video with new sponsors.
@TheOperationsRoom , I just wanted to thank you so much for the willingness to reupload your video with a different sponsor. I commented on the first version expressing my disappointment, and the fact that you were willing to reupload means so much to me and so many others. So few large creators like yourself would give it a second thought, and the fact that you didn't even comment on it was an integrity move. Cheers.
And i will give a comment for the algoritm
Thanks for reuploading, it's good to see you care about the integrity of your sponsors.
The failure of the missiles reminds me of the flawed MK14 torpedo of WW2.
So true, trial by fire
1967: Air force fighter jets called star fighters
2167: Space force fighter jets called air fighters.
I was wondering what the "this video is private" in my tabs was, it was this! Lovely having it back
Absolutly worth a rewatch, thanks for being so very open
great video, worth the rewatch, and if it's because of the previous sponsor you have even more of my respect for your integrity.
I already watched this, but I'm going to play it all the way through in the background on my phone. Plus, I'm going to leave this comment. I appreciate the ability to recognize a mistake and directly address it, and I want to reward that.
That’s awfully nice of you to leave a comment. And I guess we have to thank World of Tanks for stepping up too.
Appreciate you taking down the betterhelp sponsorship - most channels wouldn't have done this
+
I have never been interested in WoT but after you showed your character with what happened I'm gunna install it and use your code. Cheers
Edit: Everyone should do this is possible. Operation Room showed real care for his audience and it's easy to return the gesture.
Very kind, thank you
@@TheOperationsRoom no sir thank you!
@@chardaskie also his code is great, really nice bonuses for new players
No thanks. WoT is a trash, exploitative game (with token backtracking to buy back consumer good will). Only reason its not morally wrong is because they moved out of Russia and headquartered in France after Russia started their invasion and attempted genocide of Ukraine.
Unlike War Thunder devs, Gaijin, who moved to Hungary and Cyprus "officially" (one is a Russian-puppeteered and corrupt shithole thanks to Orban, and the other is a notorious tax haven for Russian companies) to pretend they are no longer Russian not long after the start of hostilities in 2014, and have been caught giving money to Pro-Russian "separatists" in Ukraine. They moved to avoid the heavy taxes, that's it. Their real offices are still in Russia, the locations on their websites are "shells" to get around taxes and abuse EU tax loopholes (a common tactic for international companies, especially corrupt ones). All of their main employees and executives are in Russia. Someone went to their HQ in Budapest last year and only a handful of people were there, less than 10.
Easily one of the best channels on RUclips. I just learned about how this is a reupload because of the better help sponsorship. Huuuuge kudos. I've stopped watching some of my favorite channels because they continue to take money from them. Glad I get to keep watching!
I love the F-4 Phantom. Great explanation of events, as always.
I appreciate you doing the right thing and reuploading this, I know it's never ideal to do so, but it's good to see professional integrity.
Absolutely worth the rewatch! I could go through this channel for hours (and sometimes do.)
A much better sponsor and great integrity from a channel that sets high standards for themselves
This battle is always worth a revisit
Is this the one where the vietkong kicked America's butt and they ran away like babies?
@@scottandcoke1342 The war? not kicked but left because of internal public pressure. In battles US always have better K/D ratio and they won most of the battles but were forced to be on the defensive the entire war instead of marching on to capture the entire country like they did back in WW2 in europe so they were handicapped.
This video is about Operation bolo, an operation designed to lure mig-21 into the fight against the phantoms.
Phantom ate mig-21 like breakfast in this operation.
@scottandcoke1342 I am Vietnamese and I would like people to stop taking our side for the wrong reasons, you make us look bad
@@tunguska2370 I'm from North Korea. All hail great leader.
@@scottandcoke1342 you make us look bad
Thank you for having the courage and integrity to re-upload the video. I’ve liked and will share the video with all my friends 😁
Total credit to you, happy to watch it again 🙂
Very well done, again! Love how you decided to can the previous version and reupload with a better sponsor
Your videos are absolutely quality, keep it up!
Really cool of you to make appropriate changes when the audience points out issues with the sponsor. Makes me like the channel even more.
I re watch your older videos on a regular basis anyway, happy to watch this one again to help out an awesome channel.
Same
Good on you mate! It takes a very honest and integrity oriented person to admit mistakes and act upon them! Best wishes to you and the Mrs.
Really enjoyed this one - thanks guys
Kudos to you OR, for being so receptive to feedback on who sponsors your videos
Definitely worth watching again, Great video operations room, Thank you. ❤
Olds was a true warrior both in combat and overall leadership! It seems that his swagger was infectious.
Worth the wait, thanks for the great content as usual!
Much respect for the re-upload!
Thank god you reuploaded it
Olds didn't really avoid becoming an ace, he was already a double ace coming out of WWII. He became a triple ace in Vietnam with his 4 jet kills, for a total of 16. You're right, though, he knew if he scored 5 in Vietnam then they'd pull him out. Rumor is that he deliberately let his wingmen take shots he could've taken to avoid this.
why do they pull out aces?
@@RainCanadian PR purposes would be my guess, probably not wanting a hero to get killed after becoming famous. Kind of like how John Glenn and Neil Armstrong became heroes they never got to fly in space again.
He couldn't do what he did best and fly planes he'd be treated as a celebrity and be grounded while his squadron was being lead by someone else
@@RCAvhstape John Glenn flew again in the shuttle in '98. They wanted to study the effects of space travel on an older body. But I guess by that point the hero thing wasn't a big deal any more.
@@Mk-qb2ny No, it was definitely still a thing, but after almost 40 years since his historic flight, NASA was now risking his life for PR purposes, just like they did with Krista McAuliffe in 1986. Or so astronaut Mike Mullane argues in his book.
Rewatching this as a sacrifice to the algorithm, and on 1.5 speed instead of 2.0.
Kudos for your integrity.
Commenting for the algortm
Watching anything on anything other than 1x that isn’t a tutorial is psychopath behavior.
@@Wasattsi nah, hard disagree. Humans are capable of comprehending speech faster than most people talk, hence why you can usually read text faster than listening to a voice note. (Which I also listen to on 1.5 speed)
@@eitantovey2570 I don't care, it completely ruins the pacing.
Thats fine for the voice but I think we can all agree that there is a lot more to this video than the speech and 2x will always take away from that.
Definitely worth another view and comment - thanks for demonstrating your integrity!
So impressed at your integrity to reupload once you realized how your previous sponsor acted. World of Tanks is so much better of a sponsor!
Love your videos so much and im glad to see the integrity of this channel. You would ne happy to know the algorithm did suggest this video to me
Good video! I have always loved reading about operation Bolo: nice to see it animated on map.
This is a great channel. I would have never seen this video if you didn't have to reupload it, thanks for having integrity with your advertisers!
Integrity matters. Much respect. Excellent content as always!
I'm really glad that you uploaded this. I was so distracted by the comments on the previous upload that I didn't even finish the video last time.
What I got really curious about was the point of not becoming an ace in order to keep flying combat missions. Was it about being able to lead others?
As always, love the videos! And lots of respect for the integrity, I also didn’t know about that companies issues until you took your video down, much respect
Thanks for another great video and your continued integrity!
Rolling Thunder was bad leadership at the executive level which led to “bad planning”.
Olds succeeded in spite of McNamara.
I am really liking these videos on the air war in Vietnam, i awlays want to know more about this time period but if you ever watch documents on Vietnam its always the same stuff, ia drang, tet offensive and saigon. Seems like thats it. Nice to learn something different
Love your videos, I'll continue to support here and on Patreon. Keep up the amazing work and thank you and your team for your professionalism!
Didn't notice the re-upload, great job! I watched, downloaded, upvoted (was already subbed) and clicked the link, that's all I can do?
Great video! The Vietnam videos are reigniting my interest in that conflict.
Respect for dropping Better Help as a sponsor. I hope this re-upload does just as well, if not better than the original.
Its always lovely to have a new video! The actual combat operations are always interesting to see, because the plan almost always has to be adapted. Makes me feel better when my approach blows in my face in DCS and I have to improvise :D
Loved it the first time, rewatching it now, because thats how great these vids are!
All hands on deck on this one. Thanks for having integrity.
These videos are always so great :) The visuals add so much, makes it really easy to understand what is going on!
Thanks for keeping this great content coming. I was looking forward to this one once you started the Vietnam Air War series.
“A bolo which is a type of Philippine machete that looks harmless to enemies until it is too late” 😂
That's my nickname for the missus. For the same reason.
You have shown your quality sir. The very highest!
Mig-21s vs F4s in a Wiley Coyote maneuver is the most cold war matchup ever other than F86 vs Mig-19
One of the best channels out there!
I appreciate the integrity of @TheOperationsRoom by reuploading with a new sponsor, even at risk to their own profit margin.
Been waiting for this one, and it did not disappoint
Good on you for reuploading this. Funnily enough, I still got a Better Help ad at the start of the video.
Top tier class reuploading with a new sponsor. RUclips needs more creators like you.
I missed it the first time and had to wait longer, worth the wait though
Commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for the reupload
Glad to see the reupload! Great video as always
Thanks for reuploading, it really shows your dedication to advertising only good sponsors :))
Thank you for listening. You guys are a class act.
It's amazing how quickly the USAF turned things around after its sloppy complacency was exposed.
Well worth the re-upload 👏
Great content!😀
Thanks for the re-upload.
The Ops Room with excellent content as always. Wonder if we could have a Vietnam playlist?
drinking a shot everytime a sparrow fails in the video was a mistake!
I always love the animation with the story telling.
Incredible History
Beautiful presentation
Great oration
Good Work My Man
2nd ever episode of Dogfights. And funny enough. Wright Patterson has his F-4C Phantom as well.
Appreciate the work you guys put in preserving and sharing history.
Superb video, lovely details as usual.
Great video great channel. Olds' actually has 5 kills in Vietnam, 4 by himself, 1 by that kickass 'stache. Keep up the great work!
The Operations Room is a MUST WATCH!
cheers for re-uploading!
Welcome back, TOR.
Quality channels like this deserve a war thunder sponsorship
