Interesting fact about Admiral Zumwalt. My grandpa, Tran Van Chon, was a former Rear Admiral of the South Vietnamese Navy, worked along side him in joint ops against the North. When the war ended, my grandpa ended up a POW but released nearly 20 years later and Admiral Zumwalt was the one that helped him get to the US. When Admiral Zumwalt passed away, my grandpa attended his funeral. When the Zumwalt DD was made, my grandpa was invited to view the ship named after his best friend and also saw when it first set sail. My grandpa passed around this time last year.
My respects to your Grandfather, you and your family! That was a beautiful piece of history that you shared! History often fails to share or document the true human history of mankind! Your grandfathers and Admiral Zumwalt’s relationship is one that belongs in the history books! Thank you for sharing!
Someone said this to me once, "You wouldn't be so brave if you didn't have all of those weapons." And I told him, "You wouldn't be so scared if we didn't."
Also to build off that the F-117 was the first generation of stealth. It's downing wasn't on account of the failure of it's stealth either, but largely due to poor mission planning and mismanagement. The F-117's were flying the same flight patterns, again and again, and a keen Yugoslavian Colonel (Dani, I think his name was?) caught on and used this knowledge to aid in the attack. Anyways, ya the F-117 was the first generation of stealth, B-2 I would consider the 2nd. The f-22 being the third and finally the F-35 being the 4th generation of stealth, in my eyes at least. The separation between these being durability of stealth coating, and time required to service the coatings. If I'm not mistaken the coating on the f-35 isn't even featuring it's final form yet. There is a more "matte" in appearance coating nearing completion, that is even more durable and radar absorbent, if I recall correctly. Similar in sorts to the next generation of F-135 engines down the pipeline as well.... but I'm merely a Canadian with an interest in aviation, so this information is likely not remotely 100% accurate.

As an American veteran, I found this "reacts" video refreshing and well done. There were only a few minor points I found missed the mark, but overall this video was very on the mark.
There's a reason for the tumblehome hull design: it lessens the weight on the top half of the vessel (and keeping the bottom half heavy) acting like a pendulum, stabilizing the ship.
The B-21 project seems to be managed in a way that takes some serious lessons from the B-2 and the F-35 program. Things like a cost cap per airframe and getting rid of the god-awful concept of 'concurrency'. From wikipedia: " The Air Force initial plans were to acquire 80 to 100 LRS-B aircraft at a cost of $550 million per unit (2010) and envisions some 175 to 200 to be in service eventually". Recommended video for Artur to watch on the B-21: ua-cam.com/video/RBt7gRVOU4Q/v-deo.html (Covert Cabal)
I guess that you read the article about B-21 Raider. Next 17years from now, there will be new plane be in service according to the military. Right now, it's in the planning stages.
MrTech226 lol I jsut commented on someone claiming to be a Sailor on the Zumwalt who’s English clearly shows stollen valor, it’s comical the claims in the comment section. A LOT of F22 and F35 pilots in the comment sections and a LOT of Navy SEALs in the comments of that video. Hoping some of this dies down because it’s embarrassing and a disservice to active and Vets.

Zumwalt here! Very glad to hear a foreign perspective on my family. The USS Zumwalt was named after my uncle - Admiral Zumwalt. He was a true visionary and pioneer for the Navy, he took a "backwards" branch of the military with the lowest re-enlistment rates, the worst discrimination, and worst morale and completely flipped it around. He promoted blacks to the rank of Admirals (which before was impossible) and women were able to advance in the ranks up to Admiral as well. He was also Chief of Naval Operations during Vietnam. He ordered the dropping of Agent Orange on the foliage of Vietnam. This was extremely useful because the waterways were so thick with vegetation, that US Patrol boats could be as close as 10 feet away from VC forces and have no idea. It reduced the number of ambushes dramatically. The side effects to the soldiers after the war were horrendous though. No one knew at the time how bad it was. His own son was a Commander of one of these PT Boats, he would eventually die due to the complications from Agent Orange poisoning. After the war he worked to successfully have injuries and diseases caused by Agent Orange to be covered. He started numerous bone marrow transplant companies to help soldiers suffering from Agent Orange poisoning to receive bone marrow transplants. He was also the FIRST to normalize relations with the Vietnamese government. There is far too much to list here honestly so please look him up yourself. The technology of the ship as well is astounding, this is also a "disaster relief" ship - able to pull up to more or less any small country and run its entire power grid from the engines alone. Thank you for the review! Hopefully one day you'll be able to see some of these weapons you get to make videos about. You'd be amazed how much planning goes into a ship like this. Every inch of space has a planned purpose, down to the TVs used in the common rooms. All the best to Estonia!
My grandpa was friends with your uncle. My grandpa was named Tran Van Chon. He was a rear admiral in the south Vietnamese navy. I’m so glad that your uncle was honored with a ship class named after him. He saved my grandpa’s life. Edit: I also remember my grandpa telling me that he was also Chief of Naval Operations during the Vietnam War
As an American, it's nice that you react to our military, but it'd be nice if you also react to our allies' armed forces. It would be a breath of fresh air to see you react to other countries' militaries
just look at what EU has like the Absalon-class support ship in the Danish Navy that's an all in 1 ship... can fit it for what ever u want. they even used it for anti pirate years back when there was a big problem at Africa's horn and there about. think there's even a 5 part Doc. about that with English subs
In 2019, United States military expenditure amounted to 3.4 percent of US gross domestic product (GDP), placing the U.S. lower in national military expenditure as a percentage of GDP to Russia, which spent 3.9 percent of its GDP, and Saudi Arabia, which spent 8.0 percent of its GDP. We have the money, so why wouldn't we be sure to be prepared... and well equipped for when another conflict inevitably happens? It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
I had the opportunity to board the Zumwalt when it came to CFB Esquimalt in BC, Canada last year and i can confidently say it put our whole navy to shame. A grand piece of technology.
If there is a new problem, we will use old weaponry... while also making new weaponry because it's cool and a good excuse for making new weaponry new problems are only causeing newer and better solutions.

16:25 The reason you have two ships underway collide when they are traveling parallel to each other is because of the same forces that make an aircraft wing fly... It's a fluid dynamics thing called Bernoulli's principle describing an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure. But the same principle would apply if the fluid were stationary and an abject were to move through that fluid - that could cause a lower pressure area based on the shape of the object. Similar to the way an aircraft wing moves rapidly through the air and that causes a decrease in the static pressure above the wing causing a force differential between the top and bottom of the wing. With two ships the space between them can become a lower pressure area and the ships could be drawn together and collide. This is why underway replenishment is an evolution that always gets the heart rate up!

One of my friends lives in Wilmington NC and has done some volunteer work on USS North Carolina BB 55. He's been in spaces that aren't open to regular tourists . He was astounded by gunnery plot and the patch in the bow where a Japanese torpedo struck her .
I'm glad they addressed the Research and Development aspect at the end of the video. Yeah, they're expensive and some of the things didn't work, but as a naval ship it has the capabilities of testing future weapons. The US military is quite adept at using the good aspects of a project into something that works. For instance the Comanche helicopter project was cancelled in 2004 but parts of it were incorporated into the upgrade of the Apache helicopter (Apache Longbow). The main reason it was cancelled was because of aerial drones. The Zumwalt class is a R&D platform, let's see what we can learn.
It was actually built near my house (I live in Maine), a lobster boat crashed into it in the fog because it didn’t show up on its radar 21:59 YOU CAN SEE MY HOUSE IN THE BACKGROUND!!! (Or at least the island it’s on)
@@TheCsel The only reason the "top" speed of a SR71 is 3.3mach is cause a pilot said he went that fast one time out running an Egyptian missile. Before he told his story it was assumed the top speed was 3.0 to 3.1 mach. We will probably never know the true top speed of the SR71 because it was probably never pushed to its fullest potential.
If you do a video on the SR-71 I would also recommend looking up videos of Brian Shul. He was one of the pilots, there are some of him talking about flying it but they are over an hour long. So I would suggest it more for if you simply want to learn more after reacting to another video.
14:08 No, no, no, no, no No, It is Mostly the shape that makes things stealth for example the USS Zumwalt is angled upwards with lots of sharp edges so that radar from other ships bounces up and away so it can't be detected. The material and paint does help though
“There’s no need for these crazy stealth super weapons.” Me: There is and it is *MURICA* In all seriousness though, if we quit when we are ahead, then we are bound to be overtaken. We can see this happening to our economy with China, we got lazy. We’ll be damned if we let it happen to our military. That is why we strive mainly for expensive R&D with small production numbers. We don’t need a lot in peace time, but having the more advanced technologies for when war does break out will ultimately have us prevail.
Not to mention that, by virtue of information spread, as you invent something for yourself you're inevitably inventing it for your enemies. As an added problem, when someone gets ahold of what you've made and decides to make for themselves what you've invented, they will also probably use the opportunity to stand on your shoulders and improve it somehow.

So i work at the company that designed and built these things. Insane price tags, the ammo for the main gun is 100k a shot. However it can travel like 60 miles at the speed of a 7.62 NATO with the accuracy to knock a flower pot out of a window. Granted the shock wave would obliterate the building. They need less crew than a ship half its size because of all of the automation that was put in. The radar is next level too, they appear the size of a small fishing boat. They were meant to replace the current flagship, the DDG51 Arleigh Burkes. But the price of them made that near impossible. And the reason why there were so many people at the launch of the ship is because there is jack to do in Maine
There's a story that's been going around for years that the Serbians shot one down in '99. It's probably the story he saw and it's riddled with incorrect information but it persists for reasons unknown. The most common version of the story is that the B-2 in question was the Spirit of Missouri (AV-8). This is impossible, however, as Spirit of Missouri has been filmed in operation as recently as 2018 when it participated in an air show at Dyess Air Force Base here in Texas. You can find a photo of it at this event on the Wikipedia page for the B-2. I'm sure there are even more recent images floating around out there. This one's just easy to find. In fact, all known B-2s have been seen and photographed repeatedly since the supposed 1999 downing of one of their number. The claim, as far as I can tell, originated with a Serbian general by the name of Bozidar Delic who claims that on March 27th, 1999, unspecified forces shot down a B-2. It's worth noting that General Delic also made many other factually inaccurate claims during the same interview, including that anti-NATO forces only lost two tanks and a few dozen men when confirmed official numbers put those losses at hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers respectively. The real story appears to be that of the downing of "Something Wicked" (82-0806), an F-117 Nighthawk flying under the callsign "Vega 31" during the 1999 NATO bombing raids on Yugoslavia. The plane was being flown by then-Lt. Col. Darrell P. "Dale" Zelko and was shot down by a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 missile system under the command of then-Lt. Colonel Zoltán Dani of the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Army of Yugoslavia. The destroyed plane (or rather, pieces of it, most notably its distinctive canopy) is on display along with all other NATO and U.S. planes, whether manned or unmanned, shot down during the conflict in the Belgrade Aviation Museum. No identifiable pieces of a B-2 can be found at that museum, however. It appears the general or those who informed him mistook the F-117 for a B-2 due to their similar overall appearance at a distance. It's also worth noting that the interview was mostly a Russian propaganda piece which concluded with the general saying, "Ever since I walked Russia has been a mother. I love Serbia, I would give everything for Serbia, but if it is needed... I am ready to give everything for Russia as well."

Most ships have a big ceremony when they are launched. Last year, there was new USS Indianapolis launched. It was kind of a big deal since it is a successor to the infamous WW2 Indianapolis (which if you do not know about, it delivered the nuclear bomb parts to drop on Japan, but then was later sunk by a submarine and many of the crew were stranded and attacked by sharks) Plus the new USS Indianapolis was the first warship built on the Great Lakes in a long time. So it had a big Ceremony here on the Indiana coast.
How can we afford 3 billion dollars for a warship? Well, the US sold: 2019: 55 billion dollars in military sales 2018: 192 Billion Dollars in military sales 2017: 56 Billion Dollars in military sales. ... 2012: 287 billion dollars in military sales.

I live across the street from a Naval Air Station. The training they do flying around and right over my house can be loud and continuous at times and we have to pause the TV and stop our conversations because we can't hear. We don't complain, we love the sound of freedom. They sometimes fly quite low and over my house when they come in for a landing. We joke about writing "don't land here" on our roof.
You've commented on several videos that a particular weapons system or platform is "useless" because there is no opponent. I would offer that these systems are developed in anticipation of emerging threats instead of current ones. It takes far more time to develop new systems than modifications. As an example, the onboard electronics of the B2 probably bear little resemblance to the electronics when it first flew.
there a few "desirable" consequence to this enormous expenditure - beyond having superior firepower. 1. Bankrupt your enemies. 2. Attract allies. 3. The "military industrial complex" that produces and industries that support them pay a lot of wages to hundreds of thousands of worker at tens of thousands of locations. They in turn support communities and other jobs that workers and businesses buy goods and services.
The reason two ship that are passing come together is due to Bernoulli's principle. Basically when the water moving between two ships is constricted, it speeds up the flow reducing the pressure it exerts between the ships. This reduction causing a difference in pressure that then causes the ships to be pushed toward each other. Granted this effect is minimal.
Great explanation. I didn't know this, but I did know that it wasn't gravity causing ships to move together. I figured it had something to do with water displacement, but this is much more reasonable. Thank you for that explanation!
I sailed eight years sea duty on a DDG and a CG . During UNREP the helmsman , lee helmsman , and OOD are hand picked by the Skipper just for this reason .The lookouts are chosen personnel too , picked from the radar operators for their skills in observation and reporting .

Peace through strength. - President Ronald Reagan Btw Artur, the B-2 Spirit has never been shot down. In February of 2008, a B-2 crashed after takeoff in Guam. Both crew members ejected safely at low altitude.
There is nothing human-made that can possibly exert enough of a gravity pull to be significant in any way. The issue is the way water passes under a ship, and especially when the propellers are on. It creates a powerful suction and undertoe. The larger the ship, the stronger the force. Gravity is not involved.
The biggest factor in the collisions he was talking about is likely that people like to use the shortest distance when travelling, leading to the establishment of official and unofficial routes. Given the lack of things like mountains on the surface of the ocean this does not leave much leeway without outright avoiding the most efficient routes. Add in factors like the length of time between commanding a ship to do something and the ship finally doing that, as well as things like human arrogance/stupidity and it really isnt hard to understand why ships hit each other. (Also, most collisions I hear about seem to be near coasts and in places like the English Channel, high trraffic areas and bottleneck areas) Anyways, yeah gravity does technically come into play, but not in any way that could possibly do a billionth of what he said.
16:40 Speaking of the chances being so low yet a crash happens, I remember reading about a story of two cars. In Ohio during the 19th century, there was a time where literally only 2 cars existed in the state. Despite that, both managed to crash into each other causing the state's first car wreck.
They arent making Zumwalt class anymore, they are going back to the traditional design. There are a few European countries (mainly France) that are in talks with the Navy to build new ships for us. This is what Ive read in military news anyway, and a few videos are out there on it.
I never got to see the Zumwalt being built but whenever I drive home to Maine I get to see her sister ship the Lyndon B. Johnson being built at Bath Iron Works. It's kinda surreal to think Bath, the city that we drive through to get anywhere on the coast, makes the most advanced ships in our Navy.
I live there and it’s pretty crazy to see the brand new ones they are working on now and the ones already sent off. Also the fact that we hear about all the new technology’s before they are finished
It's more incredible to me that this DD is so CHEAP... think about it... A Stealth PLANE that's nearly the same price as a whole ship carrying 100's of people...
It’s helped a bit by the fact that the Zumwalt is still ship-shaped while stealth bombers are designed with the working title “How many rules of aviation do we actually need to follow?”
"There's no need to make these weapons because the U.S. does not have an enemy to fight." That's where you're wrong, bucko. If we can't find an enemy, we'll make one.
Russia is not our enemy. Yeah we disagree politically with their government but we wont fight each other. China on the other hand is our enemy and the enemy of the free world.
Russia and China are both big enemies of the USA but also they are nuclear armed so we are unlikely to ever have a war with them that ends with either country capable of functioning by the end.
You talking about the US having the money to have expensive failures got me thinking about the Manhattan Project. There were two ways to make an atomic bomb at the time (both still theoretical of course). Most countries would've focussed on the more reliable "gun-type" and moved on. The US studied and developed both...because we could.
While fighting a two front global war and supplying out Allies. Plus all the other research the B29 cost more then the bomb for example. WW2 US was OP as ****.
There’s an updated stealth ship you should react to, it’s called the USS Tulsa or the Juliet marine system Ghost, there’s a lot of Prototype stuff we have that really insane
16:30 I have to correct you. Gravitational force between super tankers, the most massive ships, at 1 M apart would result in 10^-6 G. Fluid dynamics and bernouilli's laws would far out strip such an effect. 4 Kilo Newton. That sounds like a lot, but compared to the mass of these vehicles, totally manageable due to conservation of momentum. These effects also drop off like wifi signal with inverse square law. Fact is that if I'm going from heavy port A to heavy port B, there really is only one optimal shortest path. Human error will always occur. Something that large also cannot redirect swiftly even if it wanted to. Therefore naval accidents occur on traffic lanes of shortest path and with a lack of vigilance on the part of some ships involved.

Admiral Arliegh Burke was woman mathematician who greatly influenced the first creation of basic computer code. It was she who first coined the phrase "de-bug" as she often had remove moth carcasses from the vacuum tube computer she programed. Her biography "Amazing Grace" reveals why she deserves to have an entire class of ships in her name. She was a really neat lady.
Don't know if you'll see this, as the video is several months old, but, as an old sailor, I felt compelled to comment on a small point. You mentioned two ships being close together, and "gravity" pulling them even closer. I spent four years on a Fleet Oiler, refueling other ships, and so we had a LOT of ships come alongside us, about 100 - 150 feet distant. What happens is that the water passing between the two ships, at the surface, speeds up; it's called the Venturi Effect. What this means is you have water on one side of your ship passing by at the speed you're traveling (12 knots, when we doing refueling) but the water between the two ships could be almost double that. You get more friction on that side of the ship, which can have the effect of slowing that side, forcing it to turn slightly towards the other vessle. The Venturi Effect also means that the water pressure in that constricted space is lower; higher pressure on one side, lower on the other, and you cause the vessels to turn towards each other. Helmsmen (the sailor at the ship's wheel) are constantly correcting your course to counteract these forces. As for the Zumwalt class being a viable combat ship, it's an unmitigated failure; as a research bed for new technology, it's expensive but worth the cost. We still need more Burke-class ships to be built, which in itself, isn't an instantaneous process, but takes several years...at best.
american sniper A) Well done liking your own comment, B) I am a Briton and I believe and know that the Typhoon is not junk as it is more manoeuvrable than any plane in the USA's arsenal. I also know that although the USA may have better planes all-round that doesn't mean ours don't fit that criteria. Also we recently bought roughly 200 F35Bs meaning that you saying the F35 is "better" than British aircraft is incorrect. Finally, we are nations with a very strong alliance so it does not matter if - as previously mentioned - you believe that the Typhoon is bad or outdated.
trashpanda101 01 its the reason the country was founded and its really the only war we celebrate and it’s the principle. Thousands of British ships and 1 million soldiers crossed the ocean for war, versus a couple thousand citizens who knew death was inevitable but stormed into battle anyway. Those Men became Gods, and it’s the only way citizens can reach that level of bravery and status is for England to return to our shores and give us chance to prove ourselves and I am sure no American wouldn’t back down from the challenge. Why do you think we spend thousands on AR-15s and optics and ammunition not for Russia nope, China nope, Middle East nope, but it’s the thought of hearing, THE RED COATS ARE COMING.

Hey Artur, I know you like to cover US military stuff a lot but have you even seen the Schwerer Gustav from WWII? Might be something people would like to see.
I was there when this was christened. I had the opportunity to tour it also. It is one bad ass ship. A huge improvement over the Ariel Burke class. I got to go on some of those too.
I actually have been on, and helped moore this ship to the pier when it first docked in San Diego. Absolute trip to see irl, reminds me of something the Aztecs would build shape wise.
Everyone hates us because we are the POLICE of the world. That's why our defense budget is so high and why we need so many military bases around the world.
The US has a nuclear laser they're thinking abput using on there subs because the new subs are nuclear power plants & the laser is strong enough to work under water!
@Stuxnet Lassa Haven´t heard of it but it probably works by using portion of the nuclear generator aboard submarines to power the laser; in which, the laser itself also gives off deadly heat from radiation and be powerful enough to penetrate out of water as nuclear energy is immensly powerful.
@Stuxnet Lassa It would be used for aircraft, small boats, & targets close to land! The laser can get through the surf of the water so the sub doesn't have to breach the surfs of the water but has to be near the surfs.
They did also introduce new technology to the Arleigh-burke class destroyers that we are still building. The zumwalt was never going to replace the Burke class. It still offers a unique capability to the navy to operate undetected in contested waters in southeast Asia and also the Arabian gulf.
I kinda guessed the USA would be very high in the charts in National Debt, but when I googled it they are number one on the list with a Per Capita debt of 126,533 dollars. So every American citizen would have to pay 26,533 dollars to clear the debt. But that's not too bad in comparison to the UK whom I was very surprised to see are number two on the list, but their debt has a per capita of 127,000 dollars. So obviously population numbers are a contributing factor here, more Americans to share the debt than the UK's lower population. But it's still very high, roughly three times higher than Muricas. Germany and Japan take third and fourth place on the table. And I always believe Germany were the European financial powerhouse of Europe. But Switzerland is number 10 on the list but with a whopping 213,100 dollars per capita. So America don't panic yet, though your national debt is number one in the world, what every American owes is by far not the worst by any means. I'm no financial expert so if anybody knows more about this than me please tell me if I'm looking at this wrong. I believe % of GDP is important too. The USA's is very low compared to other countries. I think the higher the % of GDP the better chance of paying off some of your debt, and the UK's is much much higher than Muricas. UK's is 313 and Muricas is 62.
Maybe some other country next like UK, Germany or Russia?and btw 10:33 for fucks sake stop pronouncing Finnish names like a Swedish guy XD the pressure is in the first letters and it goes down from there, there is no high sounds at the end of the name/word XD

Interesting fact about Admiral Zumwalt. My grandpa, Tran Van Chon, was a former Rear Admiral of the South Vietnamese Navy, worked along side him in joint ops against the North.

When Admiral Zumwalt passed away, my grandpa attended his funeral. When the Zumwalt DD was made, my grandpa was invited to view the ship named after his best friend and also saw when it first set sail. My grandpa passed around this time last year.
Amazing story glad your grand pa got a chance to beco e an American may he rest in peace
That is a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing it.
Rest in peace to your grandpa.
May your Grandpa rest in peace.
My respects to your Grandfather, you and your family! That was a beautiful piece of history that you shared! History often fails to share or document the true human history of mankind! Your grandfathers and Admiral Zumwalt’s relationship is one that belongs in the history books! Thank you for sharing!
Someone said this to me once, "You wouldn't be so brave if you didn't have all of those weapons." And I told him, "You wouldn't be so scared if we didn't."

It wasn’t a B2 that was shot down, it was a F-117 in Yugoslavia.
Also to build off that the F-117 was the first generation of stealth. It's downing wasn't on account of the failure of it's stealth either, but largely due to poor mission planning and mismanagement. The F-117's were flying the same flight patterns, again and again, and a keen Yugoslavian Colonel (Dani, I think his name was?) caught on and used this knowledge to aid in the attack. Anyways, ya the F-117 was the first generation of stealth, B-2 I would consider the 2nd. The f-22 being the third and finally the F-35 being the 4th generation of stealth, in my eyes at least. The separation between these being durability of stealth coating, and time required to service the coatings. If I'm not mistaken the coating on the f-35 isn't even featuring it's final form yet. There is a more "matte" in appearance coating nearing completion, that is even more durable and radar absorbent, if I recall correctly. Similar in sorts to the next generation of F-135 engines down the pipeline as well.... but I'm merely a Canadian with an interest in aviation, so this information is likely not remotely 100% accurate.
The only B-2 lost was to an accident on Guam.
@@ExUSSailor And that was because of humidity affecting the avionics unexpectedly.
@@ExUSSailor In 2008 due to a speed sensor failure causing pilots to believe they were going 8 knots faster than they were. Instantly stalled upon liftoff. Both pilots ejected and survived. Final conclusion was humidity caused the sensor to fail and read a higher speed than what was actually happening
Supposedly parts of the wreckage was smuggled into the Chinese embassy which was later "accidentally" bombed
As an American veteran, I found this "reacts" video refreshing and well done. There were only a few minor points I found missed the mark, but overall this video was very on the mark.
There's a reason for the tumblehome hull design: it lessens the weight on the top half of the vessel (and keeping the bottom half heavy) acting like a pendulum, stabilizing the ship.
No the B-2 is being replaced with the B-21.
Thumbs this so Artur finally sees lol.
The B-21 project seems to be managed in a way that takes some serious lessons from the B-2 and the F-35 program. Things like a cost cap per airframe and getting rid of the god-awful concept of 'concurrency'. From wikipedia: " The Air Force initial plans were to acquire 80 to 100 LRS-B aircraft at a cost of $550 million per unit (2010) and envisions some 175 to 200 to be in service eventually".
Recommended video for Artur to watch on the B-21: ua-cam.com/video/RBt7gRVOU4Q/v-deo.html (Covert Cabal)
I guess that you read the article about B-21 Raider. Next 17years from now, there will be new plane be in service according to the military. Right now, it's in the planning stages.
MrTech226 lol I jsut commented on someone claiming to be a Sailor on the Zumwalt who’s English clearly shows stollen valor, it’s comical the claims in the comment section. A LOT of F22 and F35 pilots in the comment sections and a LOT of Navy SEALs in the comments of that video. Hoping some of this dies down because it’s embarrassing and a disservice to active and Vets. (BTW) not claiming the comment your referring to is an imposter, just enjoyed your comment. Nothing implied about that person or you. 🙂👍
Yeah, the Covert Cabal video on the B-21 is probably the one to react to. That channel has a lot of good videos on military stuff.
the b-52 aint even retired after 60 years what makes you think they'll retire the b-2
Zumwalt here! Very glad to hear a foreign perspective on my family. The USS Zumwalt was named after my uncle - Admiral Zumwalt. He was a true visionary and pioneer for the Navy, he took a "backwards" branch of the military with the lowest re-enlistment rates, the worst discrimination, and worst morale and completely flipped it around. He promoted blacks to the rank of Admirals (which before was impossible) and women were able to advance in the ranks up to Admiral as well. He was also Chief of Naval Operations during Vietnam. He ordered the dropping of Agent Orange on the foliage of Vietnam. This was extremely useful because the waterways were so thick with vegetation, that US Patrol boats could be as close as 10 feet away from VC forces and have no idea. It reduced the number of ambushes dramatically. The side effects to the soldiers after the war were horrendous though. No one knew at the time how bad it was. His own son was a Commander of one of these PT Boats, he would eventually die due to the complications from Agent Orange poisoning. After the war he worked to successfully have injuries and diseases caused by Agent Orange to be covered. He started numerous bone marrow transplant companies to help soldiers suffering from Agent Orange poisoning to receive bone marrow transplants. He was also the FIRST to normalize relations with the Vietnamese government. There is far too much to list here honestly so please look him up yourself. The technology of the ship as well is astounding, this is also a "disaster relief" ship - able to pull up to more or less any small country and run its entire power grid from the engines alone.
Thank you for the review! Hopefully one day you'll be able to see some of these weapons you get to make videos about. You'd be amazed how much planning goes into a ship like this. Every inch of space has a planned purpose, down to the TVs used in the common rooms. All the best to Estonia!
50 years later and Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) is still using that crap. "Roundup" weed killer comes to mind.
Sounds like your uncle more than earned to have a ship class named after him. What an impressive legacy.
detric9508 thank you for your family’s service to the US!
My grandpa was friends with your uncle. My grandpa was named Tran Van Chon. He was a rear admiral in the south Vietnamese navy. I’m so glad that your uncle was honored with a ship class named after him. He saved my grandpa’s life. Edit: I also remember my grandpa telling me that he was also Chief of Naval Operations during the Vietnam War

As an American, it's nice that you react to our military, but it'd be nice if you also react to our allies' armed forces. It would be a breath of fresh air to see you react to other countries' militaries
There's just a lot of different weapon systems the US has. And on top of this a lot of NATO allies use American weapons.
I know the Bundeswehr has a lot of different weapons than other NATO allies so that would be interesting to look at.

16:25 The reason you have two ships underway collide when they are traveling parallel to each other is because of the same forces that make an aircraft wing fly...
It's a fluid dynamics thing called Bernoulli's principle describing an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure. But the same principle would apply if the fluid were stationary and an abject were to move through that fluid - that could cause a lower pressure area based on the shape of the object.
Similar to the way an aircraft wing moves rapidly through the air and that causes a decrease in the static pressure above the wing causing a force differential between the top and bottom of the wing.
With two ships the space between them can become a lower pressure area and the ships could be drawn together and collide. This is why underway replenishment is an evolution that always gets the heart rate up!

I'm glad they addressed the Research and Development aspect at the end of the video. Yeah, they're expensive and some of the things didn't work, but as a naval ship it has the capabilities of testing future weapons. The US military is quite adept at using the good aspects of a project into something that works. For instance the Comanche helicopter project was cancelled in 2004 but parts of it were incorporated into the upgrade of the Apache helicopter (Apache Longbow). The main reason it was cancelled was because of aerial drones. The Zumwalt class is a R&D platform, let's see what we can learn.

Day 3 still wanting a SR-71 fastest plane ever used reaction
Artur is 'Stalin' on this reaction
the A-12 was theoretically faster i've heard, but was never flown to its limits in testing.
@@TheCsel The only reason the "top" speed of a SR71 is 3.3mach is cause a pilot said he went that fast one time out running an Egyptian missile. Before he told his story it was assumed the top speed was 3.0 to 3.1 mach. We will probably never know the true top speed of the SR71 because it was probably never pushed to its fullest potential.
If you do a video on the SR-71 I would also recommend looking up videos of Brian Shul. He was one of the pilots, there are some of him talking about flying it but they are over an hour long. So I would suggest it more for if you simply want to learn more after reacting to another video.
I used to listen to the NKs react to overflights; by the time their systems were warmed up the bird was already over India and Pakistan.
14:08 No, no, no, no, no No, It is Mostly the shape that makes things stealth for example the USS Zumwalt is angled upwards with lots of sharp edges so that radar from other ships bounces up and away so it can't be detected. The material and paint does help though
“There’s no need for these crazy stealth super weapons.”
Me: There is and it is *MURICA*
In all seriousness though, if we quit when we are ahead, then we are bound to be overtaken. We can see this happening to our economy with China, we got lazy. We’ll be damned if we let it happen to our military. That is why we strive mainly for expensive R&D with small production numbers. We don’t need a lot in peace time, but having the more advanced technologies for when war does break out will ultimately have us prevail.
Not to mention that, by virtue of information spread, as you invent something for yourself you're inevitably inventing it for your enemies. As an added problem, when someone gets ahold of what you've made and decides to make for themselves what you've invented, they will also probably use the opportunity to stand on your shoulders and improve it somehow.

However it can travel like 60 miles at the speed of a 7.62 NATO with the accuracy to knock a flower pot out of a window. Granted the shock wave would obliterate the building. They need less crew than a ship half its size because of all of the automation that was put in. The radar is next level too, they appear the size of a small fishing boat. They were meant to replace the current flagship, the DDG51 Arleigh Burkes. But the price of them made that near impossible. And the reason why there were so many people at the launch of the ship is because there is jack to do in Maine
I live in bath and the boats we build are pretty nasty and there is stuff to do up here but not that much
14:25 - B-2 has never been shot down.
There's a story that's been going around for years that the Serbians shot one down in '99. It's probably the story he saw and it's riddled with incorrect information but it persists for reasons unknown. The most common version of the story is that the B-2 in question was the Spirit of Missouri (AV-8). This is impossible, however, as Spirit of Missouri has been filmed in operation as recently as 2018 when it participated in an air show at Dyess Air Force Base here in Texas. You can find a photo of it at this event on the Wikipedia page for the B-2. I'm sure there are even more recent images floating around out there. This one's just easy to find. In fact, all known B-2s have been seen and photographed repeatedly since the supposed 1999 downing of one of their number.
The claim, as far as I can tell, originated with a Serbian general by the name of Bozidar Delic who claims that on March 27th, 1999, unspecified forces shot down a B-2. It's worth noting that General Delic also made many other factually inaccurate claims during the same interview, including that anti-NATO forces only lost two tanks and a few dozen men when confirmed official numbers put those losses at hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers respectively. The real story appears to be that of the downing of "Something Wicked" (82-0806), an F-117 Nighthawk flying under the callsign "Vega 31" during the 1999 NATO bombing raids on Yugoslavia. The plane was being flown by then-Lt. Col. Darrell P. "Dale" Zelko and was shot down by a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 missile system under the command of then-Lt. Colonel Zoltán Dani of the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Army of Yugoslavia. The destroyed plane (or rather, pieces of it, most notably its distinctive canopy) is on display along with all other NATO and U.S. planes, whether manned or unmanned, shot down during the conflict in the Belgrade Aviation Museum. No identifiable pieces of a B-2 can be found at that museum, however. It appears the general or those who informed him mistook the F-117 for a B-2 due to their similar overall appearance at a distance. It's also worth noting that the interview was mostly a Russian propaganda piece which concluded with the general saying, "Ever since I walked Russia has been a mother. I love Serbia, I would give everything for Serbia, but if it is needed... I am ready to give everything for Russia as well."

Most ships have a big ceremony when they are launched. Last year, there was new USS Indianapolis launched. It was kind of a big deal since it is a successor to the infamous WW2 Indianapolis (which if you do not know about, it delivered the nuclear bomb parts to drop on Japan, but then was later sunk by a submarine and many of the crew were stranded and attacked by sharks) Plus the new USS Indianapolis was the first warship built on the Great Lakes in a long time. So it had a big Ceremony here on the Indiana coast.

You've commented on several videos that a particular weapons system or platform is "useless" because there is no opponent. I would offer that these systems are developed in anticipation of emerging threats instead of current ones. It takes far more time to develop new systems than modifications. As an example, the onboard electronics of the B2 probably bear little resemblance to the electronics when it first flew.
there a few "desirable" consequence to this enormous expenditure - beyond having superior firepower.
1. Bankrupt your enemies.
2. Attract allies.
3. The "military industrial complex" that produces and industries that support them pay a lot of wages to hundreds of thousands of worker at tens of thousands of locations. They in turn support communities and other jobs that workers and businesses buy goods and services.
The reason two ship that are passing come together is due to Bernoulli's principle. Basically when the water moving between two ships is constricted, it speeds up the flow reducing the pressure it exerts between the ships. This reduction causing a difference in pressure that then causes the ships to be pushed toward each other. Granted this effect is minimal.
But still has to be accounted for when your resupplying a 1000ft carrier with a 700ft resupply ship.
Great explanation. I didn't know this, but I did know that it wasn't gravity causing ships to move together. I figured it had something to do with water displacement, but this is much more reasonable. Thank you for that explanation!
I sailed eight years sea duty on a DDG and a CG . During UNREP the helmsman , lee helmsman , and OOD are hand picked by the Skipper just for this reason .The lookouts are chosen personnel too , picked from the radar operators for their skills in observation and reporting . During UNREP the Captain is usually on the bridge observing the operation.

Btw Artur, the B-2 Spirit has never been shot down. In February of 2008, a B-2 crashed after takeoff in Guam. Both crew members ejected safely at low altitude.
There is nothing human-made that can possibly exert enough of a gravity pull to be significant in any way. The issue is the way water passes under a ship, and especially when the propellers are on. It creates a powerful suction and undertoe. The larger the ship, the stronger the force. Gravity is not involved.
Exactly, this! Well gravitiy is always involved, just negligibly, yes.
Because it's objects moving through things due to density differences.
The biggest factor in the collisions he was talking about is likely that people like to use the shortest distance when travelling, leading to the establishment of official and unofficial routes. Given the lack of things like mountains on the surface of the ocean this does not leave much leeway without outright avoiding the most efficient routes.
Add in factors like the length of time between commanding a ship to do something and the ship finally doing that, as well as things like human arrogance/stupidity and it really isnt hard to understand why ships hit each other.
(Also, most collisions I hear about seem to be near coasts and in places like the English Channel, high trraffic areas and bottleneck areas)
Anyways, yeah gravity does technically come into play, but not in any way that could possibly do a billionth of what he said.

16:40 Speaking of the chances being so low yet a crash happens, I remember reading about a story of two cars. In Ohio during the 19th century, there was a time where literally only 2 cars existed in the state. Despite that, both managed to crash into each other causing the state's first car wreck.
This ship was built 10 minutes from my house in Maine! We as a state were very proud!

2:30 A destroyer that's shoots guided missles
I don't think you really have to say guided missile destroy...like every ship now shoots guided missiles sooo...
But that’s one of its main purposes unlike the other ones
They arent making Zumwalt class anymore, they are going back to the traditional design. There are a few European countries (mainly France) that are in talks with the Navy to build new ships for us. This is what Ive read in military news anyway, and a few videos are out there on it.
I never got to see the Zumwalt being built but whenever I drive home to Maine I get to see her sister ship the Lyndon B. Johnson being built at Bath Iron Works. It's kinda surreal to think Bath, the city that we drive through to get anywhere on the coast, makes the most advanced ships in our Navy.
I live there and it’s pretty crazy to see the brand new ones they are working on now and the ones already sent off. Also the fact that we hear about all the new technology’s before they are finished
It's more incredible to me that this DD is so CHEAP... think about it...
A Stealth PLANE that's nearly the same price as a whole ship carrying 100's of people...
It’s helped a bit by the fact that the Zumwalt is still ship-shaped while stealth bombers are designed with the working title “How many rules of aviation do we actually need to follow?”
It wasn't a B2 that was shot down. It was an f117 stealth fighter. Another military plane you should look into.
"There's no need to make these weapons because the U.S. does not have an enemy to fight."
That's where you're wrong, bucko. If we can't find an enemy, we'll make one.

It’s amazing I was at the shop christening when it was first built. It’s stunning
I wasn’t at the christening but I live in bath so I see them all get built all the time that must have been so cool
When the income of a Nation averages 16 trillion dollars a year , well you can pretty much buy all the toys you want.
You never know when you'll need those weapons. And you never stop innovating.
You talking about the US having the money to have expensive failures got me thinking about the Manhattan Project. There were two ways to make an atomic bomb at the time (both still theoretical of course). Most countries would've focussed on the more reliable "gun-type" and moved on. The US studied and developed both...because we could.
While fighting a two front global war and supplying out Allies. Plus all the other research the B29 cost more then the bomb for example. WW2 US was OP as ****.
There’s an updated stealth ship you should react to, it’s called the USS Tulsa or the Juliet marine system Ghost, there’s a lot of Prototype stuff we have that really insane
16:30 I have to correct you. Gravitational force between super tankers, the most massive ships, at 1 M apart would result in 10^-6 G. Fluid dynamics and bernouilli's laws would far out strip such an effect. 4 Kilo Newton. That sounds like a lot, but compared to the mass of these vehicles, totally manageable due to conservation of momentum. These effects also drop off like wifi signal with inverse square law.
Fact is that if I'm going from heavy port A to heavy port B, there really is only one optimal shortest path. Human error will always occur. Something that large also cannot redirect swiftly even if it wanted to. Therefore naval accidents occur on traffic lanes of shortest path and with a lack of vigilance on the part of some ships involved.
NERD!!!!!!!! 😁. Actually impressed you were figuring out gravitational forces for sub planetary objects.
Past US presidents: You get an enormous aircraft carrier named after you!
LBJ: Bruh, you get a destroyer. And only because they wouldn't just let us name a Zodiac after you.
He deserves a canoe at most IMO.
EDIT: Then again, LBJ was determined to deny and hide the truth, maybe a stealth ship is just the thing for honoring him.
Matt B LBJ wasn’t as good of a guy as you’re making him out to be. He was elected to the Senate fraudulently, he would bully and threaten other politicians in order to get his bills and policies through, he escalated the Vietnam War, and his War on Poverty actually halted the decline that poverty rates were going down by, freezing at around 17% poverty rate which remains today. Despite the fact that he did get things like Civil Rights Legislation through, he most certainly had his faults. Just like any figure throughout history or even just any person, he’s nuanced, and the situation is not so black and white.

Don't forget LBJ's stolen valor. He got a Silver Star he didn't deserve. Then he wore a miniature Silver Star ribbon on his lapel during his time as a politician. www.upi.com/Archives/2001/07/09/Commentary-A-late-look-at-LBJs-medal/5828994651200/
Admiral Arliegh Burke was woman mathematician who greatly influenced the first creation of basic computer code. It was she who first coined the phrase "de-bug" as she often had remove moth carcasses from the vacuum tube computer she programed. Her biography "Amazing Grace" reveals why she deserves to have an entire class of ships in her name. She was a really neat lady.
@@ahnanguhr5918 Burke was a man.
@@ahnanguhr5918 you're thinking of Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. A Burke class destroyer carries her name.
when i got here it said 1 view so i was like "I GOTTA BE SECOND"
AYYY ARTUR! GOODMORNING!
It's like 6pm for him Estonia is 8 hours ahead of US Central Time
Don't know if you'll see this, as the video is several months old, but, as an old sailor, I felt compelled to comment on a small point. You mentioned two ships being close together, and "gravity" pulling them even closer. I spent four years on a Fleet Oiler, refueling other ships, and so we had a LOT of ships come alongside us, about 100 - 150 feet distant. What happens is that the water passing between the two ships, at the surface, speeds up; it's called the Venturi Effect. What this means is you have water on one side of your ship passing by at the speed you're traveling (12 knots, when we doing refueling) but the water between the two ships could be almost double that. You get more friction on that side of the ship, which can have the effect of slowing that side, forcing it to turn slightly towards the other vessle. The Venturi Effect also means that the water pressure in that constricted space is lower; higher pressure on one side, lower on the other, and you cause the vessels to turn towards each other. Helmsmen (the sailor at the ship's wheel) are constantly correcting your course to counteract these forces. As for the Zumwalt class being a viable combat ship, it's an unmitigated failure; as a research bed for new technology, it's expensive but worth the cost. We still need more Burke-class ships to be built, which in itself, isn't an instantaneous process, but takes several years...at best.
I remember seeing this ship on a school field trip. I was in my high school welding class responder by the company that builds them.
They did a test with the lasers recently and shot down a MK 2 MOD 0
React to the Eurofighter Typhoon! Us Britons are waiting for it! Also you're an amazing UA-camr.
Euro fighter is out dated
@@fightchannel3128 That's a moot point, since A-10 is also extremely outdated . If it has unique features to learn about that's more important.
You Britons need to start buying cups or no video for you🇺🇸🇪🇪
american sniper A) Well done liking your own comment, B) I am a Briton and I believe and know that the Typhoon is not junk as it is more manoeuvrable than any plane in the USA's arsenal. I also know that although the USA may have better planes all-round that doesn't mean ours don't fit that criteria. Also we recently bought roughly 200 F35Bs meaning that you saying the F35 is "better" than British aircraft is incorrect. Finally, we are nations with a very strong alliance so it does not matter if - as previously mentioned - you believe that the Typhoon is bad or outdated.
We have to spend just in case the British Navy lands on our coast and you need to react to the citizens firepower.
Huh?
The British armed forces have no reason to invade America though?
trashpanda101 01 its the reason the country was founded and its really the only war we celebrate and it’s the principle. Thousands of British ships and 1 million soldiers crossed the ocean for war, versus a couple thousand citizens who knew death was inevitable but stormed into battle anyway. Those Men became Gods, and it’s the only way citizens can reach that level of bravery and status is for England to return to our shores and give us chance to prove ourselves and I am sure no American wouldn’t back down from the challenge. Why do you think we spend thousands on AR-15s and optics and ammunition not for Russia nope, China nope, Middle East nope, but it’s the thought of hearing, THE RED COATS ARE COMING.
@@ronharris8669 right, but the brits aren't in no way gonna invade America at anytime as that wouldn't be what they want, in fact Britain is just kinda defending they're homeland now days
@@trashpanda-sg2xh its a joke
idk how i ended up here. Idk why i ended up here. I blame youtube. But I am now on a binging spree of your videos so great job! I love your content haha.
I witnessed one of these ships head out to sea while we where at an old war fort, just a few minutes from a public beach. Pretty sure it was Popham Beach, didn't even know that the event was happening until we saw the ship. Pretty unique event for a Mainer.
I live in bath it’s pretty cool to see all of these get built and hear about all the new tech from the workers there
"The money is not endless", tell a Politician that and he'll laugh at you as any parasite would.
As a switch-up, you should react to the Swedish metal band Sabaton!
Hey Artur, I know you like to cover US military stuff a lot but have you even seen the Schwerer Gustav from WWII? Might be something people would like to see.
I agree it's a really interesting engineering feat
Yes
Japanese aircraft carrier submarine would be better lol
I was there when this was christened. I had the opportunity to tour it also. It is one bad ass ship. A huge improvement over the Ariel Burke class. I got to go on some of those too.
Did you see the ddg 1001 too? I live in bath and see these everyday but never got to go on one a couple friends of mine did though
Drew W , no just the 1000, sadly.
I actually have been on, and helped moore this ship to the pier when it first docked in San Diego. Absolute trip to see irl, reminds me of something the Aztecs would build shape wise.
Frankly, Artur, we do still have enemies. Everyone seems to hate us.
Everyone hates us because we are the POLICE of the world. That's why our defense budget is so high and why we need so many military bases around the world.
@Atheos B. Sapien so do succesful people
Artur you should react to ross Kemp man down its 13 minutes long really good documentary
"...a German wundermuffin?"
Sure. LOL
Artur: "It looks like Cybertruck"
Narrator: (offended) "it is *stealth*"
It it were left up to me, I'd paint these ships with some sort of "dazzle camouflage" pattern to breakup the visual lines of the ship.
He author can you react to why life in a tank sucks by the infrographics show I know you don’t really like it but it would be a experience
The guy in the video is talking through his teeth the whole time and its bothering me.
Lol Same.. And my mind keeps being distracted by picturing a dude talking with teeth so large and crooked that they don't fit in his mouth.
The US has a nuclear laser they're thinking abput using on there subs because the new subs are nuclear power plants & the laser is strong enough to work under water!
@Stuxnet Lassa it's a GRASER, much more deadly than a laser.
@Stuxnet Lassa Haven´t heard of it but it probably works by using portion of the nuclear generator aboard submarines to power the laser; in which, the laser itself also gives off deadly heat from radiation and be powerful enough to penetrate out of water as nuclear energy is immensly powerful.
@Stuxnet Lassa
It would be used for aircraft, small boats, & targets close to land! The laser can get through the surf of the water so the sub doesn't have to breach the surfs of the water but has to be near the surfs.
Its the BFG
They did also introduce new technology to the Arleigh-burke class destroyers that we are still building. The zumwalt was never going to replace the Burke class. It still offers a unique capability to the navy to operate undetected in contested waters in southeast Asia and also the Arabian gulf.
I kinda guessed the USA would be very high in the charts in National Debt, but when I googled it they are number one on the list with a Per Capita debt of 126,533 dollars. So every American citizen would have to pay 26,533 dollars to clear the debt. But that's not too bad in comparison to the UK whom I was very surprised to see are number two on the list, but their debt has a per capita of 127,000 dollars. So obviously population numbers are a contributing factor here, more Americans to share the debt than the UK's lower population. But it's still very high, roughly three times higher than Muricas. Germany and Japan take third and fourth place on the table. And I always believe Germany were the European financial powerhouse of Europe. But Switzerland is number 10 on the list but with a whopping 213,100 dollars per capita. So America don't panic yet, though your national debt is number one in the world, what every American owes is by far not the worst by any means. I'm no financial expert so if anybody knows more about this than me please tell me if I'm looking at this wrong. I believe % of GDP is important too. The USA's is very low compared to other countries. I think the higher the % of GDP the better chance of paying off some of your debt, and the UK's is much much higher than Muricas. UK's is 313 and Muricas is 62.
Damn...
“There is no point”
Russia: Am I A jOkE tO yOu?
U.S.:Yes you are
Maybe some other country next like UK, Germany or Russia?and btw 10:33 for fucks sake stop pronouncing Finnish names like a Swedish guy XD the pressure is in the first letters and it goes down from there, there is no high sounds at the end of the name/word XD
It's funny because whenever you ask, "How could you pay for these things?" I am equally as surprised as an American because we don't know any of these things are being made 😂
Just going to throw this out there, Artur should check out the U.S. Army TALOS system concept.
I'm curious about the cavitation of the propeller. The vibrations and sound produced from cavitation generates detectible noise.
