When I joined the USN on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 1986 we went on our 1st Med cruise. I was an Aviation Ordnanceman working in the G3 Division of the Weapons Dept. in the magazines. They called us Mag Rats. We would store, breakout and assemble all the weapons that the airwings used and manage them while in use. When we left Norfolk we had AGM 45 Shrikes in our inventory. During our transit to the Med we had our 1st UNREP (Underway Replenishment) and sent all our Shrikes up to the flight deck where they were transferred off and we on loaded the AGM 88 HARM's that were just getting to the fleet in large numbers. However we kept a dozen of the Shrikes for a time. If I remember correctly (and I may not be) the reason was we were also transitioning from the Hornet A/B models to the C/D models. The A/B models could not use the new HARM missile, only the C/D's that we were also receiving could use them. So, until they totally were switched over to the C/D's we had to keep a few of the Shrikes for them. And they were doing some other test with using the Shrikes and HARMS against the same targets, like a comparison test while we were in the Med. Some NATO exercise. Whatever the reason, we had both and the difference between the two was startling. The Shrike next to a HARM was like a Sidewinder next to a Phoenix. No point to this comment, other that I had some small part in the transition and it's kind of interesting to me.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and thanks for your service. Love hearing these 'inside baseball' stories from folks who have worked with the real deal and of course not sharing any classified info, just interesting day to day military details that wouldn't be pertinent to anyone but us aviation geeks.
@@Whatsinanameanyway13 LOL true. Worthless information that is interest to no one but us sim geeks. And even then it's still worthless, but you can now tell your buddies if they ask when we made the transition from Shrikes to HARMS, I wonder what it was like? You can now say "Well...there was this sailor on UA-cam that said..."
I don’t know how I have become addicted to your channel Cap, I don’t play DCS, never been in military or pilot and don’t watch any other video game channels. I found you when the Moskva sank and you reenacted it, and have been watching ever since, almost all your vids (reenactments , what ifs and everything else but the actual DCS tutorial vids). You have a decent balance of content, fun banter and seriousness. I know the sim is only an approximate of the real world but it’s interesting to see what may happen in a real war scenario
Same here. I don’t play any video games, don’t watch video games, I don’t fly, etc. However, I found either Grim Reapers or Growling Sidewinder and got addicted. If you don’t watch Growling Sidewinder, I highly recommend his stuff, too. Because of Cap and GS, I’m now a military aviation nerd.
The loudest plane I ever heard was at the Fort Lauderdale Air show when two B-1s approached the viewing area from directly behind, at low altitude, and when right about us, both Bones cranked up full afterburners and each flew away in a different direction. Didn't hear them coming, but sure heard them leaving!
DUDE, I was at the same show, car alarms going off every wear. came in from behind the buildings, and tilted upward on a 45 degree Toward the beach, in full after burners.....lived in Miramar than. now up in Vero Beach
I work within a mile of Miramar MCAS, we see everything although we predominantly see F-18Cs, F-35Bs & Cs, and FA-18E/F super hornets. Several times a year we see F-22s, F-15s, F-16s, A-10s, C-130s, C-17s, C-5s, Ospreys, AH-1s, UH-1s MH-60s, CH-53s and even a WB-57 (one of 4 left). We also get to see foreign fighters as well, IAI Kfir, Eurofighter, Rafale, Tornado...all here to train or perform in the annual airshow...etc.
Been subbed for a few months and loving the videos and learning all about military combat and finding new stuff out about you guys. What would be cool is if you did a video with all the guys with a picture on the screen (so we can put a face to a name) and a little bit about you all, what you used to do, if you’ve got any military combat experiences, how you got into flying, and how you got into what you do now etc etc. Almost like a little, welcome to the GR/meet the crew. Keep up the the good work
There was also an older ARM called MARTEL, but that was never very popular, since it's subsonic speed gave enemy radar operators more time to shut down their radars.
On one of the GR videos I made a comment about an ALARM missile. My acronym was for a Advanced Loitering Anti Radiation Missile. I didn't realize that there was already an ALARM missile, even though it's a different acronym. 😂
Cap, I was in the US Navy station in Mildenhall from 2001-2005. It was a C-12 unit in the old SR-71 hanger before the Air Force tore them down. Now I'm retired and living in Wales while I have 2 shipmates that retired and are living in the East Anglia area by you.
Hey Cap and @Grimreapers I've got a mission for you, in the late 1960 s the Australians R Double AF Ubon in Thailand hosted the USAF during Vietnam the CAC Avon sabres would engage in mock combat with F4 Phantoms, and would give the USAF blokes a run for their money. The CAC Avon Sabre (based of the F86f) had a locally manufactured Rolls Royce RA7 with 7500 lb of thrust and could break the sound barrier in a shallow dive. The armament was Two 30mm Aden cannons(150 rounds per Gun) and two Aim7B Sidewinder, they were tested with Blue Jay, or Fire Flash but nothing came of it. I was thinking that they may give mig17 a thrashing, great to see them against Phantoms.
I live next to Hill Air Force base. The F35 pilots seriously love using burner and high g turns. They fly over my work, and we have learned to pause conversations until they finish their pass so we can hear each other. It's a relief when the F15s or A10's are flying.
My dad was on the delevepment team for tha AALARM missile and has confermend matrixS info and said in the gulf war the UK tornadoes fired 110 of them and hit 109 targets
None of the technologies in SiAW are new, but this is the first time all those features fit in the nose of a missile small enough to be carried by a fighter at an acceptable price.
Historical note: in the late Middle Ages to Early Renaissance, theatre troups would roll into town squares with stages built on wagons. In order for the audiences to see all the action on the stage, the stages would be raked, or sloped, higher in back. As an actor walked away from the audience he would literally be climbing up the slope of the stage. Thus the origin of the terms still in use in theatre today: upstage (away from the audience) and downstage (toward the audience).
I was stationed on Nimitz when we got some F-35s. My office was on the 03 lvl under a JBD, and the difference between the single F-35 and any twin engine wasn't even close.
Hey CAP in just wanted to say keep up the great work and to the tune of the topic I live close to Tyndall Air Force Base on the water I always see F 35s and the occasional raptor ‘s keep up the amazing work🛩️
According to Perplexity Yes, the British ALARM missile was fired in combat. It was used in several conflicts, including the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Granby), the Kosovo War (Operation Allied Force), the 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Telic), the 2011 Libya conflict (Operation Ellamy), and the 2015 Yemen conflict.
Holy crap I actually caught a video right after you uploaded it, I think that's the first in the nearly three years I've been following😂 Anyway it seems to be a good video so far we're just going through the first part but it looks good
Sounds like the Beartooth concert described sounds like a place in Pittsburgh called the Sanctuary in the Strip... old cathedral turned into a club/ concert venue... seen several metal concerts there
ALARM was used during the 2nd Gulf War and over Bosnia. The ARM was carried by the F-105 and was based on the Standard ARM SAM. The ARM had an advantage in range, speed, and warhead size. The Shrike's warhead would destroy a radar but it wouldn't destroy the radar truck and crew. The ARM would destroy most of the site.
hopefully, DCS will get more fighters involved with the control of drones/UCAV'S. this would allow you guys more opportunity to have somewhat realistic fun in the air.
20:56 Excuse me, the Buff is eternal. Its already recieved at least one new upgrade in the past year alone, and its expected to remain in service till at least 2040. The B-21 ain’t replacing it. I think the reason there are so many B-21s planned compared to B-2s in service is because just one B-2 costs over 1 billion USD, and the B-21 doesnt cost as much.
I lived just outside of Witchia for 16 years. Both Learjet and Cessna have plants besides Spirit near Witchita. You also have McConnell AF Base near Witchita.
You must live near RAF Lakenheath. I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall & lived in Tuddenham St. Mary from 1996-2004. The F-15's flew over my bunglow every freaking day!
Yes guys, talking about Boeing. In Washington State, Platt Field, Seattle, huge place. Went on a tour there and I have never seen a larger building full of aircraft at various stages of construction. Also, new aircraft for lots of various airlines from around the world waiting to be delivered. A great day out that was.
@@ianmackenzie212 Would certainly like to do that. And what Cap and others said about the noise from the F35; Seen one at Farnborough Airshow a few years back and it was doing the Harrier thing, whilst in the hover, sideways, forward and back, and nose dip. Harrier was loud, but the F35 is way louder.
At 14:11: French had their own anti-radiation missile, carried by Mirage IIIE and Jaguars called AS-37 Martel.. retired in the late 90's, and since then they didn't have any anti radiation missiles... so in Lybia they probably fired SCALP cruise missiles to shut down Lybian loyalists radars and SAM sites, or even in shorter range AASM propelled bombs ;)
The Ryman auditorium was originally a church built in 1892 in Nashville. The Ryman is famous for being the Mother Church of Country Music, the birthplace of bluegrass, and the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. It’s where countless music careers were launched. It’s a unique musical venue constructed with stunning acoustics and 130 years of history. When the modern Opry House was built in the 70’s, the Ryman sat derelict for almost 20 years until it was bought, restored and now used as a concert venue. It has the type of seating layout Grump described, so I was just interested if that’s where his concert was.
LOL. I live in a town with an AFB for training NATO pilots. We have planes overhead all the time. Got to watch an F22 stand on its tail and go straight up. We have an airshow coming up this year.
Yeah Cap, I've seen F-35 maniacs flying out of Hill AFB. When we were on vacation in Layton, Utah, the F-16s flew sensibly but the F-35s would do tight manuveurs over residential areas.
The first clue would have been the amount of water. Kansas is about as landlocked as a state could possibly get. Most of the state is about as flat as the ocean though, which is why I live in the east part of the state where there are hills and a few trees.
@@WyvernFalken I live in the northern part of the flinthills (Manhattan), though I've been to Pittsburg plenty of times since I used to work for the health system that ran the hospital there. Most of eastern Kansas is good as far as the terrain goes, really. Most of what I've heard about Florida just relates to the abundance of straight roads mentioned by my motorcycle friends. That and the heat and humidity from my coworkers, most of which are based there.
You guys have to check out the new upgrades planned for the f22, gets irst and the f35’s capability to lock on to anything in range as long as the pilot is looking in that direction like the DAS or something
back in 87, I was stationed in Iwakuni Japan. The f4's would take off about 200 yards from my barracks and felt like they HAD to use afterburners at takeoff. Got a lot better later in the year when we started to get the F18s in.
When we first used brimstone it was found out that a tank and caravan looked similar, not a good idea......so the sensors were changed. We then bolted caravan looking shapes onto tanks and...... the missiles hit nothing. Works now though :-;
Who is from Kansas? It does suck that the Spirit of Kansas crashed. Watched a video about that crash. I've lived in WIchita for 54 years, spent 6 years in the USAF as a Autotrack Radar Technician providing training to aircrews on how to recognice and evade Soviet SAM/AAA threats during hte cold war. This video is VERY interesting. Hope the new systems works out
ALARM missile was used in the following conflicts: 1991 Gulf War (Operation Granby), during which 121 missiles were used. Kosovo War (Operation Allied Force), during which 6 missiles were used. 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Telic), during which 47 missiles were used. 2011 Libya (Operation Ellamy). 2015 Yemen.
you're right about the Super Hornet being ludicrously noisy. if unexpected, the low bypass turbofans give us civilians on the ground a chance to imagine being memorialized on Air Crash Investigation. "holy crap this is the end people." A cool thing to notice about the Super Hornet is when it's coming straight over the top of you, you really don't hear it as it approaches. The thing is so loud, yet all that sound is directed around the sides and back. You get a narrow little band ahead of the airplane where those on the ground won't hear it until it's past the release point for bombing them. is that noise profile being quiet from the front a design goal or a convenient side effect of the design? do F-35s or F-22s have the same sort of 'quiet zone' inside 15° of dead ahead?
What system did Tower 22 have that supposedly " failed" because their drone was following their drone back to the base... I have a article from a few years ago in Military Times Magazine that said "The 900 US troops at Tower 22 are sitting ducks"
The retired Concorde was one loud aircraft flying over my house for years! Why do you fly in formation with a "stealth aircraft"? I know its a simulator but you should fly just shy of visual range from it on missions.
can you test how good an ARMIGER anti radiation missile could've been? it was a project to develop an ARM to replace the AGM-88 in the German inventory and it was actually based on the Meteor frame(so it also had that ramjet engine)
B-21 is a lot cheaper than B-2, that's why they are gonna make a lot of them but I really doubt their intentions to use B-21 to replace also B-1 and B-52, those both are really good platforms and very reliable too. B-1 can do swift strikes or work as a big missile truck and B-52 has transcendental range and long mission effectiveness.
Heh, what are the odds, I was just reading about ALARM, trying to figure out what we replaced them with.... turns out the replacement was nothing, let the yanks do that job. But yes, they were used quite extensively in the gulf war. The Saudis still fly them too BTW.
You have to have your tontsells out before you 16 my brother as they get wider and more inflamed as you get older and it makes much more risky and difficult get some collidial silver spray and spray them before bed and when you wake up they will soon go down 👊
The prematurely retired British ALARM was way ahead of its time, if the radar turned off, it would climb up high then dangle beneath a parachute, waiting for radars to turn back on, simple and very effective, just the UK governments love to scrap capabilities, like Sea Eagle, Bloodhound (old but never replaced), even the very capable E5 Sentinal, we even scrapped maritime patrol aircraft for over a decade
Just watched a video on Sandboxx news. I am ashamed to admit that I never knew about _towed decoys._ Are these modeled in DCS anywhere? BTW, I _have_ to believe that CAP flies unsafely close to other aircraft. Not just this video.
ALARM has been used in the following conflicts: 1991 Gulf War (Operation Granby), during which 121 missiles were used.[13] Kosovo War (Operation Allied Force), during which 6 missiles were used.[14] 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Telic), during which 47 missiles were used.[15][16] 2011 Libya (Operation Ellamy).[15] 2015 Yemen.[17]
Glad Cap got his ankle monitor taken off and is allowed to go to the pub again.
Ahh so that’s the reason he can’t use pedals!! 😂
Is that true?
I got the left one off but righty is still in place :(
Are you sure it's not because he's now got drone surveillance to make sure he doesn't step out of line?
I’m curious what this is all about. Hopefully Cap tells us.
When I joined the USN on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 1986 we went on our 1st Med cruise. I was an Aviation Ordnanceman working in the G3 Division of the Weapons Dept. in the magazines. They called us Mag Rats. We would store, breakout and assemble all the weapons that the airwings used and manage them while in use. When we left Norfolk we had AGM 45 Shrikes in our inventory. During our transit to the Med we had our 1st UNREP (Underway Replenishment) and sent all our Shrikes up to the flight deck where they were transferred off and we on loaded the AGM 88 HARM's that were just getting to the fleet in large numbers. However we kept a dozen of the Shrikes for a time. If I remember correctly (and I may not be) the reason was we were also transitioning from the Hornet A/B models to the C/D models. The A/B models could not use the new HARM missile, only the C/D's that we were also receiving could use them. So, until they totally were switched over to the C/D's we had to keep a few of the Shrikes for them. And they were doing some other test with using the Shrikes and HARMS against the same targets, like a comparison test while we were in the Med. Some NATO exercise. Whatever the reason, we had both and the difference between the two was startling. The Shrike next to a HARM was like a Sidewinder next to a Phoenix. No point to this comment, other that I had some small part in the transition and it's kind of interesting to me.

Note how Cap specifies where he got his intel on weapons since telling us about NCIS the other day 😁
First thing I thought when cap started with disclaimer: "NCIS is looking." :D
He's been saying for a long time that it was from open sources though.
I didn't NCIS was real. It was the name of a TV show for a long time.
So I’m not the only one that noticed that 😂
@itmcdoug a Google search told me JAG and NCIS were tv shows. I didn't realize it was propaganda , and a real thing until I saw it here.
8:25 "it will self-detonate and become essentially HARMless" ehehe

When the modern Opry House was built in the 70’s, the Ryman sat derelict for almost 20 years until it was bought, restored and now used as a concert venue. It has the type of seating layout Grump described, so I was just interested if that’s where his concert was.
@@Bbuzz8393 nope not s country fan.
My son-in-law works on those engines that fly over your house, Cap.. they’ve been in the UK for over a year now
Awesome!
Would love to see and hear you guys do a "Flying Under the influence" mission. Operation: Wild Turkey or Rot-gut 😅 Have a Great Weekend Everyone ❤❤
That was fun to watch and learn. 👽👍
The B-21 needs turn signals!
LOL. I live in a town with an AFB for training NATO pilots. We have planes overhead all the time. Got to watch an F22 stand on its tail and go straight up. We have an airshow coming up this year.
A little bit of trivia, the AGM-88 G program came about following a request from the RAAF
Very cool.
Yeah Cap, I've seen F-35 maniacs flying out of Hill AFB. When we were on vacation in Layton, Utah, the F-16s flew sensibly but the F-35s would do tight manuveurs over residential areas.
Clue: they are following the same rules
At 22:00, some would call this "foreshadowing" viewingtons.
There was the standard arm from the 60s as well, based on the sm1, i think?
The crew of that b2 on ejecting "we"re not in Kansas any more"
The first clue would have been the amount of water. Kansas is about as landlocked as a state could possibly get. Most of the state is about as flat as the ocean though, which is why I live in the east part of the state where there are hills and a few trees.
@@Sprchkn The one thing that Kansas had over Florida was the Flint Hills. I used to have to go through Fredonia to see my brothers in Pittsburg.
@@WyvernFalken I live in the northern part of the flinthills (Manhattan), though I've been to Pittsburg plenty of times since I used to work for the health system that ran the hospital there. Most of eastern Kansas is good as far as the terrain goes, really. Most of what I've heard about Florida just relates to the abundance of straight roads mentioned by my motorcycle friends. That and the heat and humidity from my coworkers, most of which are based there.
You guys have to check out the new upgrades planned for the f22, gets irst and the f35’s capability to lock on to anything in range as long as the pilot is looking in that direction like the DAS or something
Couple hours south of Seattle? Portland metro?? Beaverton here..
I am sure the Tornado used them in first Gulf War. It was mentioned in the Tornado book by John Nichol
back in 87, I was stationed in Iwakuni Japan. The f4's would take off about 200 yards from my barracks and felt like they HAD to use afterburners at takeoff.
Got a lot better later in the year when we started to get the F18s in.
I like how you guys are all mobbing the only stealth aircraft in the group.
The missile knows where it is at all times because it knows where it isnt
Thi missile knows where it is but more importantly, it knows where YOU are.
Don’t forget the AGM-78 STARM used by the USAF and USN. It was a beast of a missile. Better the. shrike
Thanks.
some alarms must have been fired during the first gulf war, i worked making the seeker heads during the war, we made a fair few.
Oh man I'd like to take you out for a beer!
Thanks for the Friday boom boom everyone, enjoy your weekend!❤
When we first used brimstone it was found out that a tank and caravan looked similar, not a good idea......so the sensors were changed. We then bolted caravan looking shapes onto tanks and...... the missiles hit nothing. Works now though :-;
I live in the Phoenix Arizona metro area and Luke AF Base flies the F35. They are loud as hell. But cool to watch take off and land.
Who is from Kansas? It does suck that the Spirit of Kansas crashed. Watched a video about that crash. I've lived in WIchita for 54 years, spent 6 years in the USAF as a Autotrack Radar Technician providing training to aircrews on how to recognice and evade Soviet SAM/AAA threats during hte cold war. This video is VERY interesting. Hope the new systems works out
I lived in Kansas for the first 25 years of my life. Served in the KANG as an imagery analyst from 2008-2016.
ALARM missile was used in the following conflicts:
1991 Gulf War (Operation Granby), during which 121 missiles were used.
Kosovo War (Operation Allied Force), during which 6 missiles were used.
2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Telic), during which 47 missiles were used.
2011 Libya (Operation Ellamy).
2015 Yemen.
I wonder if those can be fired from Predators. If so, that would be a great way to use them.
The B-21 will replace the B-1b and the B-2, the BUF will remain in service through 2040 possibly 2055 for 100 years of service.
06:48 it looks like you are all about to attack the starship USS Enterprise
you're right about the Super Hornet being ludicrously noisy. if unexpected, the low bypass turbofans give us civilians on the ground a chance to imagine being memorialized on Air Crash Investigation. "holy crap this is the end people."
A cool thing to notice about the Super Hornet is when it's coming straight over the top of you, you really don't hear it as it approaches. The thing is so loud, yet all that sound is directed around the sides and back. You get a narrow little band ahead of the airplane where those on the ground won't hear it until it's past the release point for bombing them.
is that noise profile being quiet from the front a design goal or a convenient side effect of the design?
do F-35s or F-22s have the same sort of 'quiet zone' inside 15° of dead ahead?
What system did Tower 22 have that supposedly " failed" because their drone was following their drone back to the base... I have a article from a few years ago in Military Times Magazine that said "The 900 US troops at Tower 22 are sitting ducks"
They are making so many b21’s bc they have air to air as well, and can also be flown with out humans onboard
The retired Concorde was one loud aircraft flying over my house for years! Why do you fly in formation with a "stealth aircraft"? I know its a simulator but you should fly just shy of visual range from it on missions.
When I was in Bagram, F-15s would take off at full afterburner every couple of hours. The EA-6B Prowler though was loud as fu(k.
I swear at one point HARM was an acronym for Homing Anti-Radiation Missile.
That doesn't sound remotely right.....As whats a not "homing" Anti-radiation missle?
@@ttpechon2535 I suppose they all are, but I just remember that being what HARM stood for.
Slowly figuring out where Cap lives...next time i'm in Ireland or Scotland to visit the in laws may have to drive down and pop in lol.
Sure thing!
can you test how good an ARMIGER anti radiation missile could've been? it was a project to develop an ARM to replace the AGM-88 in the German inventory and it was actually based on the Meteor frame(so it also had that ramjet engine)
B-21 is a lot cheaper than B-2, that's why they are gonna make a lot of them but I really doubt their intentions to use B-21 to replace also B-1 and B-52, those both are really good platforms and very reliable too. B-1 can do swift strikes or work as a big missile truck and B-52 has transcendental range and long mission effectiveness.
Yeah ibthink the b52h are being upgraded to a new standard called b52j
I wanna see a Reapers 1980's recreation of the Doolittle Raid with US Navy A-6 Intruders
27:42 The first family safe missile!
Heh, what are the odds, I was just reading about ALARM, trying to figure out what we replaced them with.... turns out the replacement was nothing, let the yanks do that job.
But yes, they were used quite extensively in the gulf war.
The Saudis still fly them too BTW.
Anybody else read, "SiAW," but hear Howard Dean, "SiAAAWWWWW!"
The usaf wants to run b21 's and b52s only in the future. The b21 is cleared for full production of 5 jets after successful tests.
OMG it worked! It wouldnt have had Cap slammed into the bomber ;)
You have to have your tontsells out before you 16 my brother as they get wider and more inflamed as you get older and it makes much more risky and difficult get some collidial silver spray and spray them before bed and when you wake up they will soon go down 👊
Boeing's HQ is in Arlington, VA...for obvious lobbying reasons.
F35 is SOMEHOW louder than the Harrier. But the loudest I have heard is the EA6B Prowler.
What do you think about Su-25 with gunpods as WWII bomber-hunter?
I think that sounds like extreme fun.
Loved the chat...Great video.
The prematurely retired British ALARM was way ahead of its time, if the radar turned off, it would climb up high then dangle beneath a parachute, waiting for radars to turn back on, simple and very effective, just the UK governments love to scrap capabilities, like Sea Eagle, Bloodhound (old but never replaced), even the very capable E5 Sentinal, we even scrapped maritime patrol aircraft for over a decade
This is why NCIS is knocking at your door
Just watched a video on Sandboxx news. I am ashamed to admit that I never knew about _towed decoys._ Are these modeled in DCS anywhere?
BTW, I _have_ to believe that CAP flies unsafely close to other aircraft. Not just this video.
We are trying to make a towed decoy but no luck so far.
@@grimreapers Cool. I look froward to your later success then.
9:14 looking at you NCIS 👀
ALARM has been used in the following conflicts:
1991 Gulf War (Operation Granby), during which 121 missiles were used.[13]
Kosovo War (Operation Allied Force), during which 6 missiles were used.[14]
2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Telic), during which 47 missiles were used.[15][16]
2011 Libya (Operation Ellamy).[15]
2015 Yemen.[17]
Thanks for the info!
Thanks!
