Weird hearing it repeatedly referred to as the Ghibli - I always read about it being called the AMX as I was a bit of an aviation nerd as a kid when it was being introduced.
@@stone-hand AMX international, was the consortium that built the plane. The plane name has always been AMX Ghibli, later renamed in Italy A11 Ghibli. Crewmen called it "Topone" (Big Rat), due to the black nose , the long snout and the two air intakes high up resembling ears.
I saw the name and was wondering where it came from. Thanx for clearing up the Studio Ghibli connection and how both the plane and the studio came to the same name. Awesome stuff
Ghibli was already used by Caproni as a name for one of their airplanes (Caproni Ca.309, 1937-1943 - errata corrige, Ghibli was a nickname it acquired in operations in Libya, being the Ghibli a strong wind of the desert there). Miyazaki is not just a massive aircraft lover - then again, his father was director of an airplane parts factory, so Hayao probably started sketching biplanes before he learned how to draw redhead girls - but more specifically a huge Ing. Caproni fanboy, if I can infer it from the latter's role in "The wind rises". So, I am pretty sure that the studio was named after the old Caproni airplane rather than the wind.
There's an interesting story worth mentioning. Back in 94, a Brazilian AMX managed to beat an F-16 from the Puerto Rican coast guard in a 1v1 simulated dogfight, during a military exercise. It was nicknamed by american pilots as the "bumblebee" for its agility and surprising "sting".
It could be an USAF F-16 being Puerto Rico part of the US for sure no Coast Guard in the world have in their fleet any F-16 !!! This start the question what you are talking about? Myth??? Here in Italy we had it both and pilots of two planes agree there's no match between them except exceptional events... AMX was a good attack aircraft and performed well wherever the Aeronautica Militare use it
@@abnurtharn2927 Any other plane movies to reccomend? I have not been that lucky to find many good ones.

Well, thing is, I never knew it was known as the A-11 at all. First I've heard of it, actually. And I've been keeping up with it since I first saw it fly back in 1990 during an airshow. Here in Brazil it's either called the AMX or by it's official FAB designation of 'A-1.' Moreover we never had 59 of them. Ever. We planned to upgrade some 24 or so, but due to lack of funds (priority having shifted to the acquisition of the Gripen-E's), so I guess we'll just have 14 upgraded to the level that it should've always been. And I don't think we even have any more than those 14 in operation. The engines were the real achilles heel for the AMX, unfortunatelly.
Italians started calling it A-11 in 2012. I don't know when Ghibli came about in Italy, but I didn't hear it until the last couple of years in the US. It was always the AMX AMX to me. To be fair, I didn't realize you called it the A-1 until recently either. I prefer A-11, since A-1 makes me think Skyraider and A-11 fits into a gap between A-10 and the cancelled A-12, but expecting international consistency when countries aren't even internally consistent is too much.
@@VeteranManiac i know but damn every country in the game is getting there attackers while italy is stuck with F104s, a tornado and harrier. Just want something around 10 or 10.3 for them.

@furiacabocla2furiacabocla589 Are you suggesting that arms contracts are not fair and legal? Surely a nation's government will weight up the pros and cons and do what is best for its people.😂
You totally missed that the Amx is really the SAAB B3LA (or A38 as it was supposed to be named in the Swedish air force) . When the Swedish air forces decided now to buy it, SAAB sold the blueprints to Italy .
I think everyone only knows it with the name AMX solely. It's one of the contenders for my country new fighter back in the 80s among F-20, Hawk 100 and Hawk 200, the Chinese F-7 and the winner F-16 Block 15 which was the only prospect in the first place.
This little plane, was by all means an updated Vought A7: same engine, same gun, about the same load out, same toughness, subsonic but still agile enough to manoeuvre and very precise in hitting the target. The main issue, and a REALLY difficult one to understand, is why the Old Spey was chosen instead of the RB199, already widely in service on the Tornado or the upcoming RB200. Smaller, lighter and more powerful engines which would have allowed even larger fuel tanks or more electronics and payload. Possibly, it was to cut out Germany from blocking sales abroad. In the end it did no good as the USA did everything possible to block exports for the AMX, on the base of few components, including The Philippine bid to Italy and an already concluded sale by Brazil to Venezuela in the early nineties (Same country to which the USA sold F16 a few years later) and the plane was never sold outside the two building countries. It was no different and no more absurd then when the USA blocked Sweden from selling Viggens to India, on the base of the RM8B engine (a 100% civil market JT8D with a Swedish designed afterburner), only to see Russia selling it's planes instead of the USA ones they were hoping to offer. In the end the Ghibli, after being upgraded to the ACOL standards performed very well, flying hundreds of hours over hostile territory in Bosnia, Kossovo, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan Syria, Lybia, often called in by the coalition because of his prolonged loitering time and Opher targeting which allowed it to spot enemy insurgents on the ground. It has been retired this year and being replaced by the F35, a plane so expensive that probably a single one could cost more then the entire fleet of A11 Ghibli, both in purchase and per flight cost. Due to lack of an Afterburner, to give energy in a dogfight, the Ghibli was never intended to fight in highly contested and high tech environment, where better and more survivable planes were available, but certainly it has been more capable and MUCH more economically viable to fly, in low intensity conflict then the Bisonic Tornado which served alongside for more then 3 decades.
In the title, you missed: ...and a touch of Sweden... Aermacchi and SAAB were in cooperation to develop a trainer/attack aircraft, but when Saab realised that it had to focus on their next fighter for the swedish airforce, which eventually became the JAS39 Gripen, the cooperation was ended in 1979. The Saab designation number was 38, so Saab 38. The name B3LA was also used, which was more common in the swedish press.
The main issue is that ground attack aircraft are becoming obsolete in themselves. Cheaper planes that were designed for civilian use prove to be able to be modified to get the job done in certain cases. Also, drones are becoming a thing. They can do the job quite well.
Can you do swedish grepin next ? Capabilities and its future are they cost effective for third world country ex. Philippines? According to the infos here in Philippines were still aiming for swedish fighter
Jet video… How about a Panavia Tornado or Sepecat Jaguar? Maybe even better yet a Tornado vs. Jaguar video… An interesting match up for development and capabilities
A lot of people don't realise that the Jaguar could only really carry one bomb. It'd need drop tanks to give a useful radius and countermeasures pods on the outer pylons so.... one centreline pylon for ordnance. Two overwing pylons for Sidewinders or similar. No TFR, no radar at all really, single seat so very high workload. Cockpit is an ergonomic nightmare, GPS only added after the Gulf War for accurate navigation. Completely in a different league to the Tornado.
@@SPiderman-rh2zkbut a side by side comparison would be a good video highlighting advancement in design and avionics since both were effects designed for the same job but 5-7 years apart…. But maybe it’s just my curiosity or my love of the tornado… could be biased 😂🤣
@@whiteshadow_001 Fellow Lincolnshire Landshark enthusiast here haha. The design is one aspect, but it's also useful to consider the roles both aircraft had in Germany - Tornados did interdiction and attacking bridges and airfields, and to some extent SEAD with the integration of the ALARM. The Jaguar force, once established, took over attack - I think 'Strike' refers to nuclear missions, which IIRC both aircraft were cleared for, but I think Jaguars were more for going after troop concentrations, armour and so on - stuff closer to, or on, the front line. In this they replaced the Phantom Force which went to AD.
@@melissasmith5109 It wasn't designed to be stealth, it just ended up having a smooth design with a narrow cross section that interfered with early Radar, it wasn't invisible to them.

Ghibli’s name attribution makes a lot of sense, Miyazaki loves depicting flight in his films. Almost every one of his films has flying machines of some sort. His films about the Japanese aerospace engineer ‘The Wind Rises’ and the Italian sea plane pilot ‘Porco Rosso’ are works of art.
Ghibli is the Libian name for the Sirocco wind, and wind names were commonly used for Italian planes at a time when Libia was an Italian colony. The Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli was a reconnaissance twin engine plane that flew between 1937 and 1948. Miyazaki did choose the name to indicate that a new wind would blow through the world of animation, but I wouldn't be surprised if he knew the word because of his passion for old planes.
You should do a video on the US m65 atomic cannon, it was a cannon made for shoot nuclear bullets each round weighed 810lbs and had a range of around 20 miles

Austere- simple, unadorned, strict, giving no pleasure. I suppose a relatively light combat environment can be described this way. But there are better descriptive words available.
This is pretty embarrassing for this channel. The AMX was not advanced when it went into production. Moreover, Italy’s ‘ultimate’ fighter bomber would undoubtedly be the typhoon. This channel would be much better served doing an episode on that. Although I expect on one of your 7423 channels you have.
