Uncle Sam comes from a meat packer named Samual Wilson, who supplied meat to the military back in the early 1800s. The meat was packed in barrels marked U.S. to show it was property of the United States government, but soldiers seeing the U.S. markings would refer to the meat as food from Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam then became a symbol for United States.
As much as I love your channel, I do have to give it to you, Lewis. Over talking the video with NON-STOP questions so people will comment in order to drive the algorithm. Clever, but sly.
to add to RG_Outdoors comment, and yes former sailor here, I was in VF-A 83 a F-A 18 hornet squadron on board the USS Saratoga in the 80s the aircraft carrier is hollow is side where those {holes} are, actually they are doors, and most if not all of the aircraft can fix inside the hanger bay on the ship when needed.
Edit I don’t know if it’s still like this or not, but during the Cold War. Both US Submarines and UK, and the UK’s Commonwealth countries ships. Has the Safe that’s in the Captain’s Quarters. An if WW3 kicked off the UK’s Navy had orders that if the UK’s Upper Government and Royal Family was taken out or if UK was overrun they had orders to hook up with the US Military and to become part of the U.S. Military. The US military has the same orders. It’s controlled by sending the codes that tell them to open top secret file whatever the code was to tell them it happened. It’s because both of our nations nuclear submarines main job was 2nd wave attack As someone who lived through the Cold War. It was scary, but it was also an exciting time to live through. I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was born a year after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and even though I wasn’t alive I’ve heard the stories of it.
those holes on the side of the carriers are door ways connected to a platform that functions like an elevater so they can move jets, helicopters, ordinance, or troops to the deck
The closest we ever got to Nuclear War was during what Americans call the Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia was in the process of placing nuclear missiles in Cuba, very close to US soil. The US set up a Naval Blockade to stop them. The Russian naval Capitan's were ordered to run the blockade the US naval Capitan's had been told to sink them if they try to run the Blockade. They were 8 mins. away from fighting. Russia was fueling their missiles, and the US had gone to DEF-CON 1 and were ready to lunch, 8 mins. then Russia sent the order to stand down.
Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is different at sea level than at 40,000 feet, so Mach 1.6 isnt like a miles per hour kind of measurement (For reference, the F-15, which the F35 is replacing, is Mach 2.7, the Blackbird is Mach 3.1)
9:50 the holes are actually tracts for elevators, as the elevators go up and down to send equipment and planes to and from the hangars inside, they aren’t actually holes, but just bits of the ship that allows for elevators
That round building is apples, and it can be seen from space, and yes its in the silicon valley. A company i workerd for at the time was installing the fire sprinklers when it was first being built.
“Uncle Sam” goes back the war of 1812. The gov.got it supply from individuals / businesses … some guy supplied beef in barrels and makes the barrels US ….soldier called it Uncle Sam ( the suppliers name was Sam and US looked like Uncle Sam. Soldier tend rename many things …. As a so,DIY’er you may fight side by side and only know your combat buddy by his last name or nick name.
'Uncle Sam' was used long before the famous 1917 World War I recruiting poster by J. M. Flagg that gave "him" an image. The "holes" in an aircraft carriers are where the jet elevators are located. It takes fresh aircraft from the hanger deck up to the flight deck. And aircraft needing repairs can be taken down to the hanger deck. F35 speed is Mach 1.6 = 1,186 mph / 1,909 kmh F15ex speed is Mach 2.5 = 1,853 mph / 2,982 kmh New York to London ~ 3,500 miles / 5,570 kilometers Armaments: F35 can be upgraded to 16 missiles, but loses its stealth to do so. F15 doesn't have stealth but can load 22 missiles. However they don't have the same mission...
Aegis class destroyers have a high powered laser on them. These destroyers are manufactured about an hour drive from where I'm at in Mobile , Alabama. In Pascagoula Mississippi.
@@MegaLokopoyou can’t have the hole in the middle of the deck above as that is the runway. So the elevator lowers the aircraft down to store in the hangar below. Then brings them back for launch.
@@scottlambert3337 Yes but does it hang over the side? Why is there not a wall on the outside of the ship, even if the elevator is against the outside edge of the ship, there doesn't seem to be a reason for a "missing" wall on the outside edge of the ship.
@@MegaLokopo it’s so far above the water line it treated like an exterior deck. The ship has water tight integrity and will not sink if water gets in the hanger deck.
So many of your questions I wish I had time to answer them all, but one key point I feel I should point out is that the U.S does not operate "Battle Ship", in the modern U.S.N. every ship is a Battle Ship. The U.S has 8 "Battle Ships" in it's fleet, but all 8 have been converted into floating museums. What the U.S does have, and what you heard about being deployed are "Battle Groups", also referred to as "Carrier Groups". Just last week USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and it's battle group were sent to the eastern Mediterranean, to defend Israel.
You right about the laser weapons looking like that missile launcher on that ship. They are insane. Infact, I think you should do a react video to the USA's Space Force along with other countries'developments with space weapons. Space Force is super tiny compared to all our other branches/forces. Barely over 6,000 personnel total, with under 80 machines/crafts under their control and development.. But mannn are they making moves. And so are a lot of other countries. (There's A satellite that has arms, and can grab ahold of other countries satellites, and move them where they want them! And has done so!! ) And Russia's Cosmos (space defense weapon essentially) , is also insanely cool/scary. One of Russia's satellites can essentially walk right up to other satellites and disable or kill it. And they have a freaking russian nesting satellite! Its launched, and then a much smaller satellite is launched from the larger one once in orbit....or feely in space because it can be moved!....and then the smaller one can launch a projectile.😳That one in particular, got the USA's attention. And it basically walked right up to one of ours, after we thought it was just space junk...lol. After that, was when the US first tested its new and heavily improved high energy laser in the persian gulf.The testing went so well it got the attention of the world over. The lasers travel at the speed of light (think of how fast light from the sun reaches ur eyes. instanously. Thats how fast that is). During that testing they successfully blew up targets on land, sea and air. They're now currently shopping around to see which of the multiple laser weapons systems ends up being the most cost effective. Which will be able to be shot from space (via the aforementioned wild ass satellites) OR/AND from land, but be able to reach space to shoot other enemy satellites! Star Wars is really here, and developing in real time. So I just think it would make for a wildly cool video for you to react to. Also because i think most of your viewers would be reacting to most of these developments and info for the first time, right along with you! I know im just learning about a lot of it myself. Could be cool 🤷🏼♀
To answer his question about the holes in the aircraft carriers those are just the elevator ports the elevator slide down and they push the planes on or off of them
1: Uncle Sam is actually a legit comic book character. The living embodiment of the USA (or as many of us just abbreviate it, "the US"). You could probably do a Wikipedia search that would go into proper detail, as most of us just think of him as a mascot. 2: It's good to see a video that doen't focus on a "USA vs the world" scenario. We love all of our allies, and wish our non-allies would become allies.
Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
I very vividly remember the “Cold War”, when I was in about the 6th grade, practicing hiding under my desk incase of an attack…..lot of good that would have done considering I lived only about 70 miles from Houston….but it did give us a sense survivability and probably had a calming effect.
I've always lived in NYC and never concerned myself that the City was always the #1 target if there ever was a nuclear war. I remember once, after one of our several-hour-long power outages, the Governor was interviewed on TV. He said then that we could have been nuked overnight while we were all asleep, and no one would've been warned. It didn't bother me, being a kid. I was worried, however, about the rumor that UFOs flying overhead, had somehow caused it all. Now THAT was scary ... still is!
The nuclear war is known to be an embargo for all nations kinda. But America never stops spending money on military technology we have non nuclear bombs that are far more destructive without the fallout which is what we use now such as the Moab mother of all bombs. But that is known by all. The military is so secretive and advanced they don’t share with the public or world for obvious reasons.
L3. Little known fact, the elevator bays on the hanger deck of earlier US aircraft carriers actually had a steam catapult in the floor so they could launch aircraft. Abandoned long ago
Yes ur right it had to be so scary then but tbh children I'm the usa were about school shooting and war around the world and how viral even the people in one's own country have become ...People please wake up ik we ALL LUV our families we ALL DONT want anything to harm our loved ones and we our ALL DIFFERENT PARTIES YET we ALL want our loved ones SAFE AND ALIVE!! We ALL nd to wake up and smell the blood and make sure we all work together to save us all
There were numerous close calls during the Cold War. It would have been hair raising to live in places like Berlin. But there’s plenty of reason to worry about WW3 now. Russia/Ukraine, Syria, Israel/Gaza… the world embargos on Russia and it cutting off gas to Europe…. If there is a WW3 and anyone around to remember it, this stuff will be remembered as the early phases. Sheesh, even what happened to Mr Trump in Butler… we were a literal inch from a very plausible new American civil war and breakup of the US. The US military strength could not have prevented that. The close calls in the Cold War were mostly things like nerves and brinkmanship, and quite a few false alarms.
Does make sense. If miliary pilots are trainedi in simulators which are wayyy more realistic than the machine in the mall. "Enders Game," the book about the whiz video game genius lid and was trained well in an advanced 3D immersive system. Spoiler alert: turns out it wasn't a simulation, it was controls for actual starship weapons.
It is more dangerous now than it has ever been before. That said, growing up through the Cold War was pretty mental. Telling us to "duck and cover" under out school desks during drills as if anyone would be alive 😂
We never had those type drills at any school I attended. We had special drills but it mostly was for fires and things of that nature, and they would all end with everyone in the school being sent outside to the schoolyard...
False. During the Cold War there were several times where the world only survived because one person said “No, we aren’t going to launch.” Now just seems scarier because the media needs to sell something and those in charge know that people that are scared are easier to manipulate. We’re safer now than at any other point in world history. Not just US history.
Yes, the military does recruit plenty of video gamers. The Air Force especially is known to run recruitment booths at conventions. Also, the department of defense is one of the largest investors into AAA video games such as Call Of Duty and Battlefield as a type of propaganda and make people interested in enlistment
Watch “The Day After” it about what would happen if a nuclear war happened. An old movie but one that was very very early fear if an AI went rogue is “War Games” with Matthew Broderick.
We've tested rail guns on ships* all in all until we can figure out how to keep the rails from shredding themselves from there shear friction and heat its gonna be on the back burner. Think we're working more on the laser weapon and drones approach. 😅
When soldiers in the field received supplies from the government back during the civil war it came in wooden boxes that had the letters U.S. on the front they made the joke that they got gifts from Uncle Sam. U.S.
the big holes you saw in the side of the carrier are the elevators to bring up aircraft from the lower deck. the lower deck is mostly for storage and maintenance while the upper deck is the flight deck for take off and landing.
@@MegaLokopo there is too much important equipment on the upper decks thats why its on the side. the launch catapults and the landing arrest equipment (the cables that stop the landing jets from driving off the other side as well as the system that make it work) take up alot of the flight deck and the deck below it with the main hangar and maintenance deck below that. as for the full layout of the ship i have no clue but i can make some logical guesses.
Automation isn't about not losing people. The biggest enemy any military unit faces is itself. People make mistakes, no matter how smart, well-trained and experienced they are. You don't take the person out of the engagement for the sake of the person, but for the sake of the mission. Automation and AI make for advanced systems that can behave very predictably to the people who operate them, while appearing so insanely complicated to an enemy that they are fundamentally unpredictable to them. Also, human troops need food, water, medical supplies, they suffer fatigue and have depreciating tactical value over time. Military engagements are 95% logistics. Supply lines are everything, that always determines the victor, end of story. You fundamentally cannot win a war without reliable resupply. So lowering the dependence on those supplies needed to maintain troops gives an unprecedented level of agility. You still need supply lines for things like fuel and repair, but autonomous systems reduce that dependency so considerably, it's a higher level of warfare when such systems are used. That doesn't eliminate the need for people, but it does allow them to be more effectively allocated.
You aren't wrong. That's why the U.S logistic capabilities are unmatched aswell. Also yea the U.S is currently dealing with abunch of America and freedom hating loons we'll be be lucky if a civil war doesn't break out within the next decade
You think there are a lot of nuclear weapons now..... it may surprise you to learn that at one point in the 1980s there were over 60,000 (yes... 60 thousand) total nuclear weapons in the world with Russia (USSR) having more than 39k and the US having more than 23k. These weapons included many thousand in the multiple megaton range (between 5 and 20 megatons) compared to the vastly smaller ones now (the B-83 being the largest known active weapon in the US now at 1.2 megatons). The main reason wasn't because of damage area, but because advanced targeting radars hadn't been invented yet. So, conceivably you could miss a city/base size target by several miles/kilometers but because the explosion was so big, you'd still drstroy most of your targets due to the blast range. With advanced targeting systems and MIRV technology, weapons could and were scaled back due to costs, and the fact you could hit more of a bullseye, as opposed to just hitting the dart board. Excessive megaton weapons were overkill (no pun intended), since they required more fission/fusion materials, heavier rockets, more fuel, etc. We have something now called "dialable yield" weapons, which allow a certain range of destructive power to be set within each weapon depending on target, so you could change it from a few kilotons, to probably over 3 to 5 megatons if needed for hardened military targets. The specifics ate classified and the "dialable" yield aspect is still limited by the the size and type of nuclear fuel. For example, you won't get a a marble-sized sphere of Plutonium to give you a 50 megaton explosion.... because of, well.... physics and energy. Still scary and amazing technology though. Too bad it is used for things like this.

Uncle Sam comes from a meat packer named Samual Wilson, who supplied meat to the military back in the early 1800s. The meat was packed in barrels marked U.S. to show it was property of the United States government, but soldiers seeing the U.S. markings would refer to the meat as food from Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam then became a symbol for United States.
Correct.
Th😂t is really cool!
This Navy vet has a tremendous amount of respect for General Milley and his Military Leadership. Great reaction, thanks so much.
As much as I love your channel, I do have to give it to you, Lewis. Over talking the video with NON-STOP questions so people will comment in order to drive the algorithm. Clever, but sly.
to add to RG_Outdoors comment, and yes former sailor here, I was in VF-A 83 a F-A 18 hornet squadron on board the USS Saratoga in the 80s the aircraft carrier is hollow is side where those {holes} are, actually they are doors, and most if not all of the aircraft can fix inside the hanger bay on the ship when needed.
Edit
I don’t know if it’s still like this or not, but during the Cold War. Both US Submarines and UK, and the UK’s Commonwealth countries ships. Has the Safe that’s in the Captain’s Quarters. An if WW3 kicked off the UK’s Navy had orders that if the UK’s Upper Government and Royal Family was taken out or if UK was overrun they had orders to hook up with the US Military and to become part of the U.S. Military. The US military has the same orders. It’s controlled by sending the codes that tell them to open top secret file whatever the code was to tell them it happened. It’s because both of our nations nuclear submarines main job was 2nd wave attack
As someone who lived through the Cold War. It was scary, but it was also an exciting time to live through. I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was born a year after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and even though I wasn’t alive I’ve heard the stories of it.
And the drones only get better. Now the don’t even need fuel lol.
those holes on the side of the carriers are door ways connected to a platform that functions like an elevater so they can move jets, helicopters, ordinance, or troops to the deck
Yeah, the US Navy is the second largest air force in the world, after the US Air Force. We are totally terrifying in that respect.
Technology should never end growing until humanity stops the advancement.
Keep in mind these are the weapons we KNOW about its the weapons we DON'T know about what is truly ×100 more potent, effective and terrifying
Yep
The closest we ever got to Nuclear War was during what Americans call the Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia was in the process of placing nuclear missiles in Cuba, very close to US soil. The US set up a Naval Blockade to stop them. The Russian naval Capitan's were ordered to run the blockade the US naval Capitan's had been told to sink them if they try to run the Blockade. They were 8 mins. away from fighting. Russia was fueling their missiles, and the US had gone to DEF-CON 1 and were ready to lunch, 8 mins. then Russia sent the order to stand down.
Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is different at sea level than at 40,000 feet, so Mach 1.6 isnt like a miles per hour kind of measurement
(For reference, the F-15, which the F35 is replacing, is Mach 2.7, the Blackbird is Mach 3.1)
The "hole" on the side of carriers is a large elevator. Used for moving planes and munitions to and from the deck.
9:50 the holes are actually tracts for elevators, as the elevators go up and down to send equipment and planes to and from the hangars inside, they aren’t actually holes, but just bits of the ship that allows for elevators
That round building is apples, and it can be seen from space, and yes its in the silicon valley. A company i workerd for at the time was installing the fire sprinklers when it was first being built.
So those large holes on the side of the aircraft carrier are hanger bays with elevators to bring the stored aircraft up to the flight deck 🤘
At 13:13 😂😂 SAS is you British
“Uncle Sam” goes back the war of 1812. The gov.got it supply from individuals / businesses … some guy supplied beef in barrels and makes the barrels US ….soldier called it Uncle Sam ( the suppliers name was Sam and US looked like Uncle Sam. Soldier tend rename many things …. As a so,DIY’er you may fight side by side and only know your combat buddy by his last name or nick name.
I enjoy the military videos. I'm proud of my country and those who protect it. 😊
I served aboard a fleet ballistic missile submarine during the cold war, the USS John Adams SSBN 620.
'Uncle Sam' was used long before the famous 1917 World War I recruiting poster by J. M. Flagg that gave "him" an image.
The "holes" in an aircraft carriers are where the jet elevators are located. It takes fresh aircraft from the hanger deck up to the flight deck. And aircraft needing repairs can be taken down to the hanger deck.
F35 speed is Mach 1.6 = 1,186 mph / 1,909 kmh
F15ex speed is Mach 2.5 = 1,853 mph / 2,982 kmh
New York to London ~ 3,500 miles / 5,570 kilometers
Armaments: F35 can be upgraded to 16 missiles, but loses its stealth to do so. F15 doesn't have stealth but can load 22 missiles. However they don't have the same mission...
Aegis class destroyers have a high powered laser on them. These destroyers are manufactured about an hour drive from where I'm at in Mobile , Alabama. In Pascagoula Mississippi.
That was, indeed, Apple's main campus! Very cool!
The large opening on the side of the ship is actually a large elevator for lowering the aircraft below deck. ✌️😎👍
Why is it on the outside?
@@MegaLokopoyou can’t have the hole in the middle of the deck above as that is the runway. So the elevator lowers the aircraft down to store in the hangar below. Then brings them back for launch.
@@scottlambert3337 Yes but does it hang over the side? Why is there not a wall on the outside of the ship, even if the elevator is against the outside edge of the ship, there doesn't seem to be a reason for a "missing" wall on the outside edge of the ship.
@@MegaLokopo it’s so far above the water line it treated like an exterior deck. The ship has water tight integrity and will not sink if water gets in the hanger deck.
@@scottlambert3337 Yea I get that, but it still makes no sense why it would need to be exposed to the outside edge.
the holes are elevators to bring aircraft up from down below
So many of your questions I wish I had time to answer them all, but one key point I feel I should point out is that the U.S does not operate "Battle Ship", in the modern U.S.N. every ship is a Battle Ship. The U.S has 8 "Battle Ships" in it's fleet, but all 8 have been converted into floating museums. What the U.S does have, and what you heard about being deployed are "Battle Groups", also referred to as "Carrier Groups". Just last week USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and it's battle group were sent to the eastern Mediterranean, to defend Israel.
the hole in the side of carriers is for the elevator to lower jets into the hanger area
You right about the laser weapons looking like that missile launcher on that ship. They are insane. Infact, I think you should do a react video to the USA's Space Force along with other countries'developments with space weapons. Space Force is super tiny compared to all our other branches/forces. Barely over 6,000 personnel total, with under 80 machines/crafts under their control and development.. But mannn are they making moves. And so are a lot of other countries. (There's A satellite that has arms, and can grab ahold of other countries satellites, and move them where they want them! And has done so!! ) And Russia's Cosmos (space defense weapon essentially) , is also insanely cool/scary. One of Russia's satellites can essentially walk right up to other satellites and disable or kill it. And they have a freaking russian nesting satellite! Its launched, and then a much smaller satellite is launched from the larger one once in orbit....or feely in space because it can be moved!....and then the smaller one can launch a projectile.😳That one in particular, got the USA's attention. And it basically walked right up to one of ours, after we thought it was just space junk...lol. After that, was when the US first tested its new and heavily improved high energy laser in the persian gulf.The testing went so well it got the attention of the world over. The lasers travel at the speed of light (think of how fast light from the sun reaches ur eyes. instanously. Thats how fast that is). During that testing they successfully blew up targets on land, sea and air. They're now currently shopping around to see which of the multiple laser weapons systems ends up being the most cost effective. Which will be able to be shot from space (via the aforementioned wild ass satellites) OR/AND from land, but be able to reach space to shoot other enemy satellites!
Star Wars is really here, and developing in real time. So I just think it would make for a wildly cool video for you to react to. Also because i think most of your viewers would be reacting to most of these developments and info for the first time, right along with you! I know im just learning about a lot of it myself. Could be cool 🤷🏼♀
To answer his question about the holes in the aircraft carriers those are just the elevator ports the elevator slide down and they push the planes on or off of them
Mach 1.6 the speed of sound is 1227.631 miles per hour
1: Uncle Sam is actually a legit comic book character. The living embodiment of the USA (or as many of us just abbreviate it, "the US"). You could probably do a Wikipedia search that would go into proper detail, as most of us just think of him as a mascot.
2: It's good to see a video that doen't focus on a "USA vs the world" scenario. We love all of our allies, and wish our non-allies would become allies.
Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
21:34 YES. It is true and also being implemented for commercial use flying cars 2025
I very vividly remember the “Cold War”, when I was in about the 6th grade, practicing hiding under my desk incase of an attack…..lot of good that would have done considering I lived only about 70 miles from Houston….but it did give us a sense survivability and probably had a calming effect.
I've always lived in NYC and never concerned myself that the City was always the #1 target if there ever was a nuclear war. I remember once, after one of our several-hour-long power outages, the Governor was interviewed on TV. He said then that we could have been nuked overnight while we were all asleep, and no one would've been warned. It didn't bother me, being a kid. I was worried, however, about the rumor that UFOs flying overhead, had somehow caused it all. Now THAT was scary ... still is!
Above the hole on the aircraft carrier side is an elevator part of the deck so they can go into the hangar Bay underneath for maintenance.
Mach 1.6 is over 1200 miles per hour.
We did nuclear drills every day at primary school. Go in the hallway and tuck your head between your legs and pretty much kiss your ass goodbye lol.
The nuclear war is known to be an embargo for all nations kinda. But America never stops spending money on military technology we have non nuclear bombs that are far more destructive without the fallout which is what we use now such as the Moab mother of all bombs. But that is known by all. The military is so secretive and advanced they don’t share with the public or world for obvious reasons.
L3. Little known fact, the elevator bays on the hanger deck of earlier US aircraft carriers actually had a steam catapult in the floor so they could launch aircraft. Abandoned long ago
That cut out my guess is the elevator to bring planes on the deck since the store them inside.
24:10 Mach 1.6 equates to around
1230 Miles Per Hour
SAS is the British, Australian and Canadian Royal Army Special Forces.
The holes are elevators to raise and lower air craft
I just watched your Costco video and I feel like I want to go get a Costco card and apply for the Navy... Lol I'm 62 however...
If you became a US citizen you could enlist in the ai and games division of the airforce they are recruiting
Yes ur right it had to be so scary then but tbh children I'm the usa were about school shooting and war around the world and how viral even the people in one's own country have become ...People please wake up ik we ALL LUV our families we ALL DONT want anything to harm our loved ones and we our ALL DIFFERENT PARTIES YET we ALL want our loved ones SAFE AND ALIVE!! We ALL nd to wake up and smell the blood and make sure we all work together to save us all
The British Vanguard class submarines carry the same Trident missiles as the US Ohio class, supplied by the US.
There were numerous close calls during the Cold War. It would have been hair raising to live in places like Berlin. But there’s plenty of reason to worry about WW3 now.
Russia/Ukraine, Syria, Israel/Gaza… the world embargos on Russia and it cutting off gas to Europe…. If there is a WW3 and anyone around to remember it, this stuff will be remembered as the early phases.
Sheesh, even what happened to Mr Trump in Butler… we were a literal inch from a very plausible new American civil war and breakup of the US. The US military strength could not have prevented that.
The close calls in the Cold War were mostly things like nerves and brinkmanship, and quite a few false alarms.
Yes that hole building is apple
The NGAD 6th gen is wild.
“Listen, let’s never not be allies” 😂
Platform over the hole is an elevator to bring the planes under the deck
*"Hiring Gamers"* Check out the Fat Electrician - "America's Kamikaze Drone"
Does make sense. If miliary pilots are trainedi in simulators which are wayyy more realistic than the machine in the mall. "Enders Game," the book about the whiz video game genius lid and was trained well in an advanced 3D immersive system. Spoiler alert: turns out it wasn't a simulation, it was controls for actual starship weapons.
That big hole is not for weapons it's a storage bay where they keep the aircraft they don't use
It is more dangerous now than it has ever been before. That said, growing up through the Cold War was pretty mental. Telling us to "duck and cover" under out school desks during drills as if anyone would be alive 😂
We live in the safest time ever to live in the US. Ukraine or Russia not so much.
We never had those type drills at any school I attended. We had special drills but it mostly was for fires and things of that nature, and they would all end with everyone in the school being sent outside to the schoolyard...
False. During the Cold War there were several times where the world only survived because one person said “No, we aren’t going to launch.” Now just seems scarier because the media needs to sell something and those in charge know that people that are scared are easier to manipulate. We’re safer now than at any other point in world history. Not just US history.
Yes, the military does recruit plenty of video gamers. The Air Force especially is known to run recruitment booths at conventions.
Also, the department of defense is one of the largest investors into AAA video games such as Call Of Duty and Battlefield as a type of propaganda and make people interested in enlistment
Watch “The Day After” it about what would happen if a nuclear war happened. An old movie but one that was very very early fear if an AI went rogue is “War Games” with Matthew Broderick.
Mach 1.6 is something like 2,000 kilometers per hour I think.
We also have rail guns on the ships
We've tested rail guns on ships* all in all until we can figure out how to keep the rails from shredding themselves from there shear friction and heat its gonna be on the back burner. Think we're working more on the laser weapon and drones approach. 😅
When soldiers in the field received supplies from the government back during the civil war it came in wooden boxes that had the letters U.S. on the front they made the joke that they got gifts from Uncle Sam. U.S.
MACH 1.6 is over 1200 mph bro lol 😂!
the big holes you saw in the side of the carrier are the elevators to bring up aircraft from the lower deck. the lower deck is mostly for storage and maintenance while the upper deck is the flight deck for take off and landing.
I thought the elevator was contained on the inside of the carrier? The hole is on the outside edge?
@@MegaLokopo there is too much important equipment on the upper decks thats why its on the side. the launch catapults and the landing arrest equipment (the cables that stop the landing jets from driving off the other side as well as the system that make it work) take up alot of the flight deck and the deck below it with the main hangar and maintenance deck below that. as for the full layout of the ship i have no clue but i can make some logical guesses.
@@jameshudson6649 It just seems un neccessary for the elevator to be open on the edge.
@@MegaLokopo what do you mean. like the lack of hand rails
@@jameshudson6649 It seems to be on the edge of the ship with a "missing" wall. Unless the elevator hangs over the side?
Automation isn't about not losing people. The biggest enemy any military unit faces is itself. People make mistakes, no matter how smart, well-trained and experienced they are. You don't take the person out of the engagement for the sake of the person, but for the sake of the mission. Automation and AI make for advanced systems that can behave very predictably to the people who operate them, while appearing so insanely complicated to an enemy that they are fundamentally unpredictable to them.
Also, human troops need food, water, medical supplies, they suffer fatigue and have depreciating tactical value over time. Military engagements are 95% logistics. Supply lines are everything, that always determines the victor, end of story. You fundamentally cannot win a war without reliable resupply. So lowering the dependence on those supplies needed to maintain troops gives an unprecedented level of agility. You still need supply lines for things like fuel and repair, but autonomous systems reduce that dependency so considerably, it's a higher level of warfare when such systems are used. That doesn't eliminate the need for people, but it does allow them to be more effectively allocated.
You aren't wrong. That's why the U.S logistic capabilities are unmatched aswell.
Also yea the U.S is currently dealing with abunch of America and freedom hating loons we'll be be lucky if a civil war doesn't break out within the next decade
You think there are a lot of nuclear weapons now..... it may surprise you to learn that at one point in the 1980s there were over 60,000 (yes... 60 thousand) total nuclear weapons in the world with Russia (USSR) having more than 39k and the US having more than 23k. These weapons included many thousand in the multiple megaton range (between 5 and 20 megatons) compared to the vastly smaller ones now (the B-83 being the largest known active weapon in the US now at 1.2 megatons). The main reason wasn't because of damage area, but because advanced targeting radars hadn't been invented yet. So, conceivably you could miss a city/base size target by several miles/kilometers but because the explosion was so big, you'd still drstroy most of your targets due to the blast range. With advanced targeting systems and MIRV technology, weapons could and were scaled back due to costs, and the fact you could hit more of a bullseye, as opposed to just hitting the dart board. Excessive megaton weapons were overkill (no pun intended), since they required more fission/fusion materials, heavier rockets, more fuel, etc. We have something now called "dialable yield" weapons, which allow a certain range of destructive power to be set within each weapon depending on target, so you could change it from a few kilotons, to probably over 3 to 5 megatons if needed for hardened military targets. The specifics ate classified and the "dialable" yield aspect is still limited by the the size and type of nuclear fuel. For example, you won't get a a marble-sized sphere of Plutonium to give you a 50 megaton explosion.... because of, well.... physics and energy. Still scary and amazing technology though. Too bad it is used for things like this.
Stealth fighters don't carry a whole lot of armament because their payload is held completely internally.
SAS is a British special forces group.
Uncle Sam gets his cut taxes 😂
More of these videos please
You should see the video about the 1988 battle with Iran, operation praying mantis
