Listen, Kid. You’re held in reserve because you’re the most terrifying thing with wings since Quetzalcoatlus - if they’re making something to replace you in that role, that means you’ll have a chance to be sent into combat while the NEW GUY is busy being the thing that makes everyone shit themselves in fear knowing that for as much as they’re getting their shit kicked in by you, you’re not even the worst thing that could happen to them anymore.
Read this whole thing in Grandpa Buff's voice. As to how it gets scarier... not sure. Maybe both of those, but with the range and speed of the Blackbird?
3:34 on behalf of Polish people I would like to announce that we're ready to adopt the kid. We can provide him with safe space and plenty of room for fun games with "volunteering" neighbors to our east.
While the Raptor is a hilarious psychopath, Grandpa Buff is still my favorite. I STILL chuckle at just the MEMORY of Buff saying, "What the F**k is a Photon Torpedo?" in an earlier video!
The F-16 is both the most readily lovable/agreeable sounding of the jets, and also gives off the impression that it maintains *exactly* that tone and attitude in combat. Like a lethal children's show mascot.
Like the one that evaded six guided missiles without chaff or flares because they weren't working. That Viper was probably like "That was a fun workout." Completely professional but chill. (edited to correct a typo)
Check out Growling Sidewinder for F16 Wild Weasel action... you can thank me later. If this shows up for anyone.. ever... because they hate me here. For some reason.
A 22 got the opportunity to get an A2A kill. But the pilot was feeling generous. "You should go home now." The F4s were shitting bricks all the way home.
@@BlandSpagettiRight? That F22 Pilot took pity that the fight would have been so lopsided it wasn't worth the hours of paperwork for legitimately 5 seconds of fun.....I'm sure after checking the armament of the f4s that the F22 Pilot was literally crying with tears due to the shear comedy of what the F4s had armed.... The old addage of not bringing a knife to gun fight never rang more true....
As someone who is the same age as Grandpa Buff, and was in the Army when Corsairs and Phantoms were still flying close air support, not much makes me chuckle anymore. However, "West Taiwan" had me rolling in my chair laughing (if I'd rolled on the floor, I'd have had a hard time getting up off of it).

Cant get enough of Grandpa Buff and Raptor they instantly make every episode better. At this point this man should just make a spinoff show with both of them.
Put it this way, if America switches over to 6th gen, they'll have lots of F-22s suddenly surplus to requirement. And there are plenty of countries around the world looking to smack SUs and MIGs around that would happily take them.
If / when America switches to 6th Gen, those Raptors will probably stay in the USAF inventory. This would give us TWO aircraft that outclass everything that Russia and "West Taiwan" could produce by wide margins.
That's not legally a possibility. More than two decades ago Congress realized exactly what had been created and quickly passed a federal law prohibiting the export of F22's to any other nation. That law is still on the books and would require Congress to pass a new law to repeal it before negotiations to export them could even begin. The F22 is one of the very few weapons we have absolutely no interest in selling - ever. That's what we built the F35 for, it's more civilized and less terrifying which makes it acceptable to export to close allies.
When the F-22 is pulled from active service, it will likely go the way of the F-117, many kept in "ready" storage, and a few of them kept in service to operate as opposition aircraft for training exercises.
@mikeirvin9694 well laws can be repealed. Or we could at least them to Poland we're not giving them to them just put them on a 99 year lease Easy Legal workaround The reason for it sadly is because when the F-14 Tomcat was still new we sold them to Iran when the Shah was still in control, and then the Islamic Revolution occurred.... But we could easily put some sort of a remote kill switch on Raptor if the regime in Poland went sour then they would have a hunk of junk that they could do Jack Shit with. . The irony is politically I support Russia in this because opposition to deep State actions in Ukraine, but to me it is perfect for deterrence because balance must be maintained...
@@markbarta2369100% this, although I think they’ll be transferred to Guard units and not the boneyard with the Air Force keeping some for aggressor squadrons.
Netflix was great back when it was 8… then 10.99 was pushing it… then dropped it in 2020 and went back to Blu-ray from the library. Their “1080p” had less color depth than DVD, kinda like DVD with a low quality upscaler.
Yeah, when things went from just needing Netflix to suddenly needing Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, random bullshit, and the Evil Mouse one, I knew we were just remaking cable but the companies sell your data. I mean you used to be able to get by with one or two services, but now you need at least three or four just to get all the things you want to watch, and you end up spending about the same amount as cable ever since the prices went up, while still having commercials for a lot of them.
Poor Raptor...if the US comes out with a 6th gen fighter and that fighter actually gets to kill something that isn't a balloon, we'll hear the kid's scream across all of space and time. I swear to god that the angels in Heaven will hear it and go "What the fuck is that noise?!" The Thunderscreech and every cicada on Earth will bow to the Raptor and make him their king. That's how loud his screaming will be.
Fun fact, the streaming bundle is literally "cable plus". Cable was originally offered as an "add free" viewing option for customers who chose to pay for the service...Good job humanity! 😅
I love your videos! It's nice to see someone say what everyone else is thinking. I was with the first PATRIOT unit in combat during Desert Storm/Shield. We shot down more SCUD's than you could count on any given day. And I was an Abrams crewmember for 3 years as well. Makes me proud when I see your videos. I wait for them every day. Keep it coming!
1:27 Only the second half of that is true, and ONLY because they’ve been hoarding military material from since… Well since BEFORE _both_ World Wars at the earliest. To be fair, it HAS (barely) kept Russia in the game when most other nations would have run out of gear months ago, but even THEN, that stockpile was supposed to be used to ward off or invade NATO, and if it can’t contend with Ukraine using said NATO’s hand-me-downs in a timely manner and/or without mass casualties…
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire ***AHEM*** to summarize: The russkies roll west through the Fulda Gap. NATO decides whether or not to use theater-tactical nuclear weapons. IF NO THEN euro-forces slow and soften eastern bloc forces for 12-24 hours while "gee-whiz, high-tech" western weaponry slowly and inexorably snipes every, single piece of armor that is west of 25°East . That would include systems such as Apache/TOW/Maverick/M1 Abrams/M2 Bradley/F-15/F-16/A-10 ....... Mop up takes about 2 weeks to 2 months. By then mobilization can truly begin and europe eventually gets flooded with WESTERN FREEDOM UNITS. Moscow goes "***meep***". If tac-nukes employed then much as above but with nukes and eastern europe takes HEAVY damage but the russkies get stalled in the first 12-24 hours and mostly air assets are employed. ALSO: MEANWHILE; The russkie floaty-bois are wiped from the seven seas by the Dept Of The Boat People/Junior Birdmen/Home Protection Forces of the allied nations... that would be NATO/ANZUS/France/Japan/South Korea etc etc etc .... That could take 1 week to 6 months depending on what level of "wiped" one wishes to accomplish. SOMEWHERE in there are the Special Operations forces who basically dismantle anything and everything with a hammer and sickle on it ANYWHERE else on the planet. ..... Just my opinion.... I could be wrong....
It's cable all over again. This is the exact same thing as crypto bros claiming that they want to decentralize The financial system and then getting scammed because someone decided to create a crypto bank with no regulations
Seriously, how many crypto banks has it been at this point, 2, 3, 5? Are there even any that aren’t a problem? FTX, scam from the start, and I think another just made the news…
@@SonsOfLorgar To my knowledge Starscream has in different generations taken the form of the F-15, F-16, F-22, what I can best describe as a "stylized Flanker" (most likely the Su-37 prototype), and various sci-fi space fighter designs. Overall the F-15 is the most common among the designs based on real-world aircraft.
Good to see the kid taking the first step towards embracing his lack of action. He just has to remember that 0-0 is arguable more impressive than 0- literally any other number. Being the boogeyman of the skies isn't something to feel bad about. Though... he would be a fitting example of a winged hussar... striking absolute fear into the hearts of the enemy as he comes down the mountainside. Poland just needs to wait patiently for the US to finish up the 6th gen. And prove itself a more... stable ally.
I always side with Israel, and I’m not even Jewish. The Hebrews have spent nearly their entire existence fighting for survival, so I support them all the way.
“I don’t think you guys are ready for a 6th gen yet, if you guys were decent at making at least 5th gen aircraft I wouldn’t be 0-0.” And “Whatever you say, west Taiwan.” Are the best lines in the video.
0:43 There was a solid second where I was like “That is a really good impression.” Then I remembered he does both voices, and am now impressed at how good he is at seeming like multiple different people.
Did you know that according to three UN in modern warfare you should expect 1:9 civilian to combatant ratio? And that does not include when one side is using its people as human shield. According to multiple sources, currently in Gaza the ratio is 1:2-4 depends on the source. But even 1:4 is more than twice better than expected. Even according to Palestinian sources 70% of the casualties are men. Israel does not commit war crimes. It commit precision warfare in an urban area putting their own men to protect the other side. I’m sadden by the fact that a service member cannot see that and just repeat things like this with no fact check.
@@fulcrum2951 Yes. But it was not deliberate so it wasn't a war crime. Every military, including the US, has hit NGOs by accident, even with coordination.

Once America makes the 6th gen then Raptor might finally be allowed to spread his wings. That is of course dependent on whether or not the 6th gen consistently beats Raptor.
The way I see it, the Raptor is being demoted not replaced. All the planes below him are allowed to go on missions and do stuff, while Raptor is stuck in a hangar. Once they find a newer, better, far more expensive plane to sit in that hangar forever and do nothing, then Raptor will finally get the chance to do his thing and be an actual combat aircraft. Basically what I'm saying is that bro has a desk job, and the best thing for him would be to bust his ass down to private and capture a brain bug.

Put it this way, if America switches over to 6th gen, they'll have lots of F-22s suddenly surplus to requirement. And there are plenty of countries around the world looking to smack SUs and MIGs around that would happily take them.
If / when America switches to 6th Gen, those Raptors will probably stay in the USAF inventory. This would give us TWO aircraft that outclass everything that Russia and "West Taiwan" could produce by wide margins.
That's not legally a possibility. More than two decades ago Congress realized exactly what had been created and quickly passed a federal law prohibiting the export of F22's to any other nation. That law is still on the books and would require Congress to pass a new law to repeal it before negotiations to export them could even begin. The F22 is one of the very few weapons we have absolutely no interest in selling - ever. That's what we built the F35 for, it's more civilized and less terrifying which makes it acceptable to export to close allies.
When the F-22 is pulled from active service, it will likely go the way of the F-117, many kept in "ready" storage, and a few of them kept in service to operate as opposition aircraft for training exercises.
@mikeirvin9694 well laws can be repealed. Or we could at least them to Poland we're not giving them to them just put them on a 99 year lease Easy Legal workaround
The reason for it sadly is because when the F-14 Tomcat was still new we sold them to Iran when the Shah was still in control, and then the Islamic Revolution occurred....
But we could easily put some sort of a remote kill switch on Raptor if the regime in Poland went sour then they would have a hunk of junk that they could do Jack Shit with. .
The irony is politically I support Russia in this because opposition to deep State actions in Ukraine, but to me it is perfect for deterrence because balance must be maintained...
@@markbarta2369100% this, although I think they’ll be transferred to Guard units and not the boneyard with the Air Force keeping some for aggressor squadrons.
😂 I think after the 5th streaming service I always figured we'd come full circle back to cable.
Netflix was great back when it was 8… then 10.99 was pushing it… then dropped it in 2020 and went back to Blu-ray from the library. Their “1080p” had less color depth than DVD, kinda like DVD with a low quality upscaler.
Yeah, when things went from just needing Netflix to suddenly needing Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, random bullshit, and the Evil Mouse one, I knew we were just remaking cable but the companies sell your data. I mean you used to be able to get by with one or two services, but now you need at least three or four just to get all the things you want to watch, and you end up spending about the same amount as cable ever since the prices went up, while still having commercials for a lot of them.

“West Taiwan” is so unreasonably aggressive, it’s awesome.
Poor Raptor...if the US comes out with a 6th gen fighter and that fighter actually gets to kill something that isn't a balloon, we'll hear the kid's scream across all of space and time. I swear to god that the angels in Heaven will hear it and go "What the fuck is that noise?!" The Thunderscreech and every cicada on Earth will bow to the Raptor and make him their king. That's how loud his screaming will be.

I love your videos! It's nice to see someone say what everyone else is thinking. I was with the first PATRIOT unit in combat during Desert Storm/Shield.

Saw the whole streaming package thing coming about 5 years ago and honestly I'm surprised it took this long to finally come into affect
1:27 Only the second half of that is true, and ONLY because they’ve been hoarding military material from since… Well since BEFORE _both_ World Wars at the earliest. To be fair, it HAS (barely) kept Russia in the game when most other nations would have run out of gear months ago, but even THEN, that stockpile was supposed to be used to ward off or invade NATO, and if it can’t contend with Ukraine using said NATO’s hand-me-downs in a timely manner and/or without mass casualties…
Things in Ukraine are basically going the way that Clancy predicted back in the Mid-80s.
@@frednone
And what was that exactly?
You mean Tom Clancy?
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire ***AHEM*** to summarize: The russkies roll west through the Fulda Gap. NATO decides whether or not to use theater-tactical nuclear weapons. IF NO THEN euro-forces slow and soften eastern bloc forces for 12-24 hours while "gee-whiz, high-tech" western weaponry slowly and inexorably snipes every, single piece of armor that is west of 25°East . That would include systems such as Apache/TOW/Maverick/M1 Abrams/M2 Bradley/F-15/F-16/A-10 ....... Mop up takes about 2 weeks to 2 months. By then mobilization can truly begin and europe eventually gets flooded with WESTERN FREEDOM UNITS. Moscow goes "***meep***".
If tac-nukes employed then much as above but with nukes and eastern europe takes HEAVY damage but the russkies get stalled in the first 12-24 hours and mostly air assets are employed.
ALSO: MEANWHILE; The russkie floaty-bois are wiped from the seven seas by the Dept Of The Boat People/Junior Birdmen/Home Protection Forces of the allied nations... that would be NATO/ANZUS/France/Japan/South Korea etc etc etc .... That could take 1 week to 6 months depending on what level of "wiped" one wishes to accomplish.
SOMEWHERE in there are the Special Operations forces who basically dismantle anything and everything with a hammer and sickle on it ANYWHERE else on the planet.
..... Just my opinion.... I could be wrong....
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFireyou remember a thing called the Fulda Gap, *hmmm?*
It's cable all over again. This is the exact same thing as crypto bros claiming that they want to decentralize The financial system and then getting scammed because someone decided to create a crypto bank with no regulations

wasn't he an f15 at first?
@@Mamorufumio correct, I think Starscream has been depicted as both F-15A and E
Gen1 Starscream is an F-15, the movie version is the F-22.
@@SonsOfLorgar To my knowledge Starscream has in different generations taken the form of the F-15, F-16, F-22, what I can best describe as a "stylized Flanker" (most likely the Su-37 prototype), and various sci-fi space fighter designs. Overall the F-15 is the most common among the designs based on real-world aircraft.
@@NuclearFalcon146 Starscream will always be an F-15 to me.
Good to see the kid taking the first step towards embracing his lack of action. He just has to remember that 0-0 is arguable more impressive than 0- literally any other number. Being the boogeyman of the skies isn't something to feel bad about.
Though... he would be a fitting example of a winged hussar... striking absolute fear into the hearts of the enemy as he comes down the mountainside. Poland just needs to wait patiently for the US to finish up the 6th gen. And prove itself a more... stable ally.
I always side with Israel, and I’m not even Jewish.
The Hebrews have spent nearly their entire existence fighting for survival, so I support them all the way.
“I don’t think you guys are ready for a 6th gen yet, if you guys were decent at making at least 5th gen aircraft I wouldn’t be 0-0.”
And
“Whatever you say, west Taiwan.”

Did you know that according to three UN in modern warfare you should expect 1:9 civilian to combatant ratio? And that does not include when one side is using its people as human shield.
According to multiple sources, currently in Gaza the ratio is 1:2-4 depends on the source. But even 1:4 is more than twice better than expected. Even according to Palestinian sources 70% of the casualties are men.
Israel does not commit war crimes. It commit precision warfare in an urban area putting their own men to protect the other side.
I’m sadden by the fact that a service member cannot see that and just repeat things like this with no fact check.
Didnt the Israelis bombed the World Central Kitchen convoy despite it coordinating with the IDF?
@@fulcrum2951 Yes. But it was not deliberate so it wasn't a war crime. Every military, including the US, has hit NGOs by accident, even with coordination.
@@iselmon You don't screw up 3 times with a precision drone on clearly marked vehicles. One strike maybe, but not 3.
@@fulcrum2951 Clearly marked in visible spectrum, not in the IR they were targeting with. Yes, it was precise. Yes, they intentionally hit that vehicle. No, they didn't think it was the WCK's vehicle. They fired basically everybody involved afterward as well.

"West Taiwan" Expecting a John Cena apology any second.
Once America makes the 6th gen then Raptor might finally be allowed to spread his wings.
That is of course dependent on whether or not the 6th gen consistently beats Raptor.
The way I see it, the Raptor is being demoted not replaced. All the planes below him are allowed to go on missions and do stuff, while Raptor is stuck in a hangar. Once they find a newer, better, far more expensive plane to sit in that hangar forever and do nothing, then Raptor will finally get the chance to do his thing and be an actual combat aircraft. Basically what I'm saying is that bro has a desk job, and the best thing for him would be to bust his ass down to private and capture a brain bug.
