Nah m8 this is Royal Airforce. U.S airforce is "The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isnt. Subtracting where it is from where it isnt thus gets where it wasnt. CONFUSED SCREAMING"
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this explanation! I have love missiles since before I could spell "Missile". Needless to say the Sidewinder family has always been one of my favorites. Dr Mc Clean (sorry if I misspelled his name) was one of my heros.
The single most amazing thing here is the fact that the uploader let the video be the resolution it naturally wants to be rather than adding black bars to force it into 1080p or something. It baffles me that people still do this in an age when the software can happily scale video to any screen as required. Even Netflix does the black bar nonsense, causing ultrawide aspect ratio movies that should fill my monitor perfectly to instead float half-sized in the middle of a sea of blankness.
If you hit "stats for nerds" you can see that it says the Optimal Res/FPS is 426x94@10, anything above that is up-scaled. RUclips instantiates 240p these days just because most people have large monitors and they certainly don't have a 94p height check. 94/426 = 0.220657 and this is the coefficient they use for flexy width scaling as the video gets bigger. It's nowhere close to 1080p height-wise, though if you have a super-wide monitor or stretch it along multiple monitors and somehow fullscreen it across all of them you can get a bit closer.
Is there a way of watching this fullscreen across two monitors? All the browsers I've tried just use a single screen when you select the full screen option.
Brave men. ❤️ Even though they only know where they aren’t they still abandon the ship regardless if they’re most likely behind enemy lines. We shall never forget their sacrifice. 🙏🏼🕊
I expected the helmsman to go down with the ship, glad his patriotism and urgent sense of duty mixed with a possible concussion from the engine ignition didn't render him blind or confused enough to eject in time.
Now, imagine a missile where the control computer actually manage to jettison and return to base, saving cost for the next launch, instead of getting destroyed?
I was confused for a moment by the little guys throwing balls, as I always thought the Sidewinder was a heat-seeking missile. However, Wikipedia confirms that the newer models feature radar guidance as well as infrared.
The 'ball throwing' is representing detonation, not guidance. Modern AIM-9s have a laser-optical proximity fuse: they bounce laser pulses off the target and detonate when the returns say that they're close enough.

The same, but there's a lookout back in the plane telling them where to go until they get close and see the missile themselves, after that, it's the same as an AIM-9

So how do you recover the green guys. Do they walk back to the AIM-9 factory?
Yes they are green berets duh
They can probably fly home under their own power, but will be defenseless if intercepted.
I like to think the lock tone is the lookout screaming at the pilot.
Yeah that’s exactly what it is, a wonderful voice the lookout has indeed

You saw how many trannys work at netflix during the dave chappel thing, that should explain it.
i dont think you know how resolution works, the original uploader upscaled this 720p video to 1080 P youtube

The whole video is black for me but i hear audio
Is this audio only or is the video so low resolution that it doesn't work on mobile
Video works, but opening the quality selector causes a crash.
Now, imagine a missile where the control computer actually manage to jettison and return to base, saving cost for the next launch, instead of getting destroyed?
They'd probably rather it just get destroyed than risk it getting captured and reverse engineered or letting the enemy find a weakness in the system.
@@jamesmclemore9123 yeah, I wouldn't want my computers becoming POWs.
Do you plan to spend 6 months searching enemy jungle, because only way the guidance is escaping is via parachute.
What a cute and innocent way to describe something designed to kill...
Not quite right. It's designed to destroy, not neccessarily kill.
The Hellfire missile version with the rotating knives on the other hand is.
@@Bearkiller72 thanks for making the distinction...
It knocks out planes, not kill the pilots although the latter can happen since the pilot is ...yk...in the plane

How a sidewinder works but for kids
British explantion. Eleqauntly put with informative cartoons.
American explanation
The missile knows where its going because it knows where it isnt.
2:14 In our empire of WW2, if they abandoned the missile, they sent again to ensure death.
So, the missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t?
The Helmsman knows where the missile is at all times; he knows this because the lookout tells him
noo!!! missiles are unmanned guided weapons with eletronics inside!!!!
the tiny green men inside my sidewinder :
what about the AIM-54 Phoenix?
The same, but there's a lookout back in the plane telling them where to go until they get close and see the missile themselves, after that, it's the same as an AIM-9

Jumping without parachute still result in death.
