I was in the U.S. Army in the first Gulf War (Desert Storm), and we had Iraqi SCUD missiles fired at us over and over again. I wouldn't be here today if we hadn't had a Patriot missile unit next to us, taking out the SCUD missiles. Man, I miss my Army days.
Same here I got the witness that myself I was a brand new private I thought it was the coolest thing ever except for the doning of the mop gear I could’ve done without that
Young lady, (at 18:32) don't worry too much. The US, along with her allies, (including your own country) have your back. We do not fight wars of conquest, we fight to defend. And we're DAMN good at it.

Its funny that you said "imagine going to McDonald's in one of those" referring to the tank because the 2017 winner of the World's Strongest Man, owns a tank that he sometimes drives around his town in England and puts the footage on his UA-cam channel. You should check out his channel as he has a lot of fun videos where he does eating challenges and other entertaining things.
I live right near an rocket and artilery field. Our town has a schedule given to the township of the level of noise they are planning on a color grade. Recently its been orange to red. Red being them testing live rounds an expect your house to shake. It took a little while but now I'm really used to it. ❤
I’m a new private to the US Army Infantry currently all the gear still fascinates me and our training is great it’s difficult but well worth it and so rewarding best job I’ve ever had
Fun Fact: All US ARMY helicopters with only a single exception (The AH-1 Cobra), are named after Native American Nations. The Black Hawk, Apache, Chinook, and Kiowa and but a few examples. This is to honor those indigenous peoples.
We have a company here in America that is about to bring out a 50 caliber Gatling gun for the military that is like the miniguns you see in this video but it's going to be 50 caliber with three barrels instead of six barrels and shoot roughly 1500 to 1800 rounds per minute. It's in the last stages of testing. I think there is a video out about it right now
@15:35 you can infact get used to hearing these various vehicles and their respective weapon systems firing while sleeping. The crazier part isnt that you can learn sleep through all that, but much quieter door and cot squeaks will keep you up lol
I grew up near Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina. We would often have to ask, “Was that thunder or just guns from the fort?” Fort Jackson is a city in itself. Huge training fort.
I live near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (USAF, US Army, US Navy, respectively), and periodically they put out notices that they’re going to be doing live fire training so don’t be alarmed when you hear gunfire and explosions.

Countries do not have friends, only other countries where their mutual interests align. We call those mutual interests "alliances" and they can shift like the winds. Each decade can look vastly different from the last. Currently, Slovenia is aligned with some of our interests, and yes, we'll gladly defend them, but it has not been so in the past. As a BUFF and Beak pilot, I've dropped ordnance on enemies once considered allies alongside allies once considered enemies. It's an odd sensation when you hit the pickle button and you muse if someone you once shared a meal with might be beneath the ordinance falling from the bomb bay.
@@kimchi2780 So there will never be another war? Glad you were able to solve that little conundrum for the rest of humanity. Why don't you go sit in the corner and gnaw on your crayons Scooter.
Spent 8 years supporting Field Artillery. Yes I’m a woman. I realized that people who watch these for the helicopters haven’t even picked up on all are named after Native American tribes. I was in the Army when the first MLRS system was fielded. 8 inch Howitzers shells are 8” across. Just a heads up the bores can only fire so many shells and they then have to be replaced. The heat generated by the shells strips the rifling from inside the bore. No rifling the shell can’t be fired. I might be wrong on a few points because I was in the Army 1980 - 1993. Yeah the dark ages. After I left the Army the Paladin was just coming on line. One last thing you can hear them firing from anywhere in the city or outskirts at anytime. My husband and I would be woken up at 3 in the morning. “Oh honey listen, they’re playing our song.”🎶 😂
I live in Lampasas,TX. 20 miles west of Ft. Hood/Ft Cavaso. We can hear them at night firing big guns. We also get alot of fly overs from, Apache and Chanoocks. And tons of convoys coming through town.
When calling in artillery fire, usually you have a map that is 1:10,000 scale and a protractor with hash marks that when you put it over the particular grid and the estimated spot and get a grid reading that is accurate within 10 meters. Also our satellites can find a target and mark it for a gps strike.
Story time. I was heading home one afternoon after being gone a week. I was used to seeing all the tanks, tracs, humvees, everything olive drab. I realized how serious things were, this was after the towers came down, when I noticed, from the freeway, everything was SAND, no more green. I called my husband, Army Vietnam Veteran, and he just said, "What did you expect?" I felt like an idiot.
Don't have to feel that way. You kinda have a different perspective when you're in, or a veteran. A different way of thinking. Because having your life on the line, changes this.

its a true story most likely, the opening day was such an extreme thunder run through the desert most of the combatants weren't even kitted up when the Americans drove in
Y’all were talking about the blackhaws and in my previous comment I explained that my family ended up moving to Savannah, Georgia where there was an army post. We had a house right on the driving range on a golf course and at any time we would watch some of the Rangers performing off base exercises. I’ll never forget the first time I was in our house when suddenly the house was literally shaking and we could hear a few helicopters flying over us. They’d hover right over the driving range (basically our backyard) and the rangers would come one after another repelling from the copter down onto the golf course! It was extremely cool! I later on became friends with some of those Rangers.
Don't worry young one. We are your friends, brothers, sisters, and cousins. If you ever see these weapons in real life they will be there to defend you

7:18 To clarify, the Javelin has two Modes, I couldn't tell you the exact terminology for the Modes, but when the Operator locks on to a Target, they have 2 options, 1 I believe is called "skim" and the other is called something like "Overhead". "Skim" means the Missile will stay parallel to the Ground until it reaches it's target, almost like it is shooting in a straight line, imagine an RPG Missile fired across a flat field. Overhead means the Missile comes out of the Tube, and almost instantly flies straight up into the Sky, until it calculates where it should begin to descend in order to strike it's Target directly on top, this, theoretically can be much more lethal when dealing with things like Tanks, IFVs, APCs, ect. Also, as far as I know, and anybody who may have actual experience Operating the Javelin please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there is an Initial Charge that pushes the Missile out of the Tube, and then after the Missile is out of the Tube, it has a propellent that ignites and Drives the Missiles towards its Target completely unassisted by the Operator since it utilizes IR and Lock on Capabilities, hence, "Fire and Forget". Fun Fact; Each Missile that comes out of the Javelin costs about $78,000 according to various sources online.
I love this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm from and most of my family still lives in a San Antonio... But now live in Houston, and ALWAYS have big redd in the frig.❤️🤣😂
The Blackhawk is being retired. The fantastic replacement The V-280 Valor is a next generation tiltrotor design similar to the legacy V-22 Osprey but slimmer, more agile, and maybe most importantly, has a less complex drive train which means far less maintainence.
@LancerX916 Honestly the Osprey has only had 12 crashes since 2007 when it came into service. Not a good thing by any means but not a standout among its contempraries like the Blackhawk . Long story short, yes the simplified design should be more reliable given fewer moving parts.
@phantomviper8297 No that's a myth. There have been a total of 12 crashes since it became operational in 2007. There have been 390 crashes with blackhawks. That said when you correct for the number of units and time in service they are pretty much on par. The reason the Osprey gets alot of press is one because it's unusual, and two because it often carries far more people meaning a single accident is often more deadly.
Ahhh the MA Duece M2. Way back in the day we called it the jackhammer. It's an old but fantastic weapon that I fired many times. I also carried a very old weapon called the Greasegun. Slow firing 45 cal sub machine gun...feeling kinda old!! Do I mention the M60 "The Pig"?
Hey guys, how about The Rescue of Jessica Buchanan? Or The Siege of the Alamo? The First Medal of Honor ever recorded? Or finding out about US Air Force Pararescue?

Please let your little girl know that if she came to the U.S. she would never see any of this! These were just videos from army bases testing groups, ect... even civilians dont see this ever! Yes we have this, but America is so large that these bases may seem large to you because we can fit 2 and a half of you in our 1 state let alone the other 49 states!

I was never in the military, but I used to live right next to a U.S Navy Base in Southern California called 'China Lake'. They test new and old weapons, and you can hear when they blow stuff up sometimes, because you will be outside when you hear a distant explosion, really cool stuff.
Tell your daughter not to worry, we got her back. I know my USA is brought into many disruptions in other country's, but we do our very best to protect the innocent and our best is very good at it.
Lol. I love the difference of reactions between the girls and boys in this video. The boys have a sustained fascination. The girls? Intimidation and mild disgust. Yup! That checks out. I hate war, but love weapons. Typical boy. Great video.
I love seeing your content. If you ever want to reach out for Army related questions. I would love to help! Anyways keep up the amazing work and I will keep taking in the reactions!
What's nice weather for you? The last 10 days in the US state of Iowa it been raining with temps as high as 95 F. Tornados, massive floods. Nothing unusual for this time of the year.
The Bradley is really showing it's combat effectiveness right now in Ukraine. While notable handful have been destroyed in the conflict? It's kill/death ratio at the moment is bonkers. It was designed with a Cold War mind so it was designed for all out war. And it is clear as day when you see the combat footage from Ukraine. The near rapid barrage of 25mm rounds (usually explosive ammunition or armor piercing) has punched holes through many Russian tanks and armored troop carriers. Plus it can fire tow missiles while the main gun reloads and can quickly carry/evacuate troops. To think the US government was trying to retire it just like the Warthog. Cannot reiterate the combat footage from this vehicle is terrifying especially against Russian infantry. Many videos from a drone perspective of Russians getting turned into literal mist.
YEAH so the shell casings dropping down from helicopters are INSANELY hot and do fuck you up if youre below it, doesnt do any real damage if hit by the casings but it does burn/melt your skin when it gets stuck in your shirt, dont ask me how i know lol.
american here yea i have a military base about 15 minutes up the road from me you occasionally hear explosion's and hear A10 warthogs and drones and other planes flyby my house and its unreal you feel the ground shake and feel the vibrations in your body when they do that stuff. and also they are *VERY* touchy about you being near their base (understandably so) but we can see tanks, apcs, missile launchers, etc, when you drive by it.
If you're curious about how the Javelin can defeat any known armor, it actually pops up and dives down on its target. The top armor tends to be the thinnest and most vulnerable on most vehicles, including tanks.
OK were to start ..little bird ..the soldiers are NOT strapped in they must be able to exit rapidly..the momentum keeps you in the helo ..red tips on ammo is the tracer ammo ..the Javlin is a Too down weapon..as that is the weaks part of a vehicle Blackhawks can carry up 14 troop depending on the seating configuration 16 with Pilots and co pilot .
The girl asked about the Javelin's flight. Once it acquires a target, it goes towards it, then flies up and down in a loop, to come down vertically. This is because tanks are weakest on top. They're heavily armed on the sides.
I dream of my Army weight. I'm an Army infantry veteran and I was 6 ft 185 when I went in. I was fortunate enough to be a paratrooper, and I think I lost an inch and there's somewhere. Not everybody's that tall there are 5'5 powerhouses, they always find the right place for themselves and it all works and we all work together

Fun Fact; Each Missile that comes out of the Javelin costs about $78,000 according to various sources online.
I love this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm from and most of my family still lives in a San Antonio... But now live in Houston, and ALWAYS have big redd in the frig.❤️🤣😂
The Blackhawk is being retired.
The fantastic replacement The V-280 Valor is a next generation tiltrotor design similar to the legacy V-22 Osprey but slimmer, more agile, and maybe most importantly, has a less complex drive train which means far less maintainence.
Hopefully it does not crash like the Osprey. Biggest piece of junk ever.
@LancerX916 Honestly the Osprey has only had 12 crashes since 2007 when it came into service. Not a good thing by any means but not a standout among its contempraries like the Blackhawk .
Long story short, yes the simplified design should be more reliable given fewer moving parts.
And wasn't the V-22 quite accident prone?
@phantomviper8297 No that's a myth. There have been a total of 12 crashes since it became operational in 2007. There have been 390 crashes with blackhawks. That said when you correct for the number of units and time in service they are pretty much on par. The reason the Osprey gets alot of press is one because it's unusual, and two because it often carries far more people meaning a single accident is often more deadly.
Ahhh the MA Duece M2. Way back in the day we called it the jackhammer. It's an old but fantastic weapon that I fired many times. I also carried a very old weapon called the Greasegun. Slow firing 45 cal sub machine gun...feeling kinda old!! Do I mention the M60 "The Pig"?
Hi Oshgosh is in the state of Wisconsin. Just south of Green Bay. They also build Fire Trucks.
Hey guys, how about The Rescue of Jessica Buchanan? Or The Siege of the Alamo? The First Medal of Honor ever recorded? Or finding out about US Air Force Pararescue?
For a cool action movie with several of weapons in here check out FIREBIRDS with Nick Cage and Tommy Lee Jones. Great action and is basically TOP GUN for Apache helicopter and the Army
Graham Family Reacts does watching 15 Reasons You Shouldn't Mess With the US Army in any way make y'all want 2 get your own Full Matching Head 2 Toe Camouflage Patterned Outfits/Uniforms with Matching Solid Colored Clothing Accessories?
To me your family is American!! 🇺🇸 god bless you and the family! Hopefully your kids come to the states for college!
When yall do a reaction please don't stop the video and stop talking during the video
Great video family, and Mommy, might want to check your blouse next time.. :) thank you.. have you guys reacted to the SR-71 Flyover speed check video? Or any Space videos? shuttle? hubble? Webb? Moon landings of any of the newest countries landing?
Please let your little girl know that if she came to the U.S. she would never see any of this! These were just videos from army bases testing groups, ect... even civilians dont see this ever! Yes we have this, but America is so large that these bases may seem large to you because we can fit 2 and a half of you in our 1 state let alone the other 49 states! I don't think foreigners especially kids realize how massive America is! The movie home alone or feeris bulelers day off depicts a better day by day of real American life (minus the breakins) I dont think kids from other countries can understand because they are comparing it to their country size! So ya...that would be heck of scary! But she shouldn't be scared, in fact she'd have tons of fun and be well.. more protected.
$27 a round seemed really high for the C-RAM but then I found out their not just bullets, their 20mm High Explosive incendiary tracer rounds that also self destruct lmao
4500 per min = 75 PER SECOND. The tracers are every 5th round. And they're not .22 cal, more the size of a red bull can.
After 9- 11 a song was written called "The angry American" by Toby Keith. Check it out.
Mr. Graham off topic here but I was looking for your most recent video in hopes you would see this. This just happened Sunday past and I think you should see it. Please look for John Force's 300 MPH fiery crash. It is pretty horrific. He drives in our Lucas oil NHRA drag racing series and he is seventy something years old and still driving these cars. 11,000 horsepower cars. Thankyou I love your channel and your lovely family.
I was never in the military, but I used to live right next to a U.S Navy Base in Southern California called 'China Lake'. They test new and old weapons, and you can hear when they blow stuff up sometimes, because you will be outside when you hear a distant explosion, really cool stuff.
Personally, I love seeing the B-2 Bomber and F-35 and F-22 Aircraft So I hope you can see more videos about the US Air force.
Tell your daughter not to worry, we got her back. I know my USA is brought into many disruptions in other country's, but we do our very best to protect the innocent and our best is very good at it.
Check oot (lol) the Windsor/Detroit fireworks that went off last night! (Monday the 24th of June, 2024)
Lol. I love the difference of reactions between the girls and boys in this video. The boys have a sustained fascination. The girls? Intimidation and mild disgust. Yup! That checks out. I hate war, but love weapons. Typical boy. Great video.
The Javelin attacks from the top because that's where the armor is the weakest ❤
Army Medical Corps veteran. Hello from Pennsylvania!
Our cops have silent helicopters, drones and and jet packs for 20 years now. Seriously.😊
I love seeing your content. If you ever want to reach out for Army related questions. I would love to help! Anyways keep up the amazing work and I will keep taking in the reactions!
What's nice weather for you?
The last 10 days in the US state of Iowa it been raining with temps as high as 95 F. Tornados, massive floods.
Nothing unusual for this time of the year.
Is this video for you or for me? Are you aware you're recording? We are not interested in constant talking. Stop. Really, Stop.
The Bradley is really showing it's combat effectiveness right now in Ukraine. While notable handful have been destroyed in the conflict? It's kill/death ratio at the moment is bonkers. It was designed with a Cold War mind so it was designed for all out war. And it is clear as day when you see the combat footage from Ukraine. The near rapid barrage of 25mm rounds (usually explosive ammunition or armor piercing) has punched holes through many Russian tanks and armored troop carriers. Plus it can fire tow missiles while the main gun reloads and can quickly carry/evacuate troops. To think the US government was trying to retire it just like the Warthog. Cannot reiterate the combat footage from this vehicle is terrifying especially against Russian infantry. Many videos from a drone perspective of Russians getting turned into literal mist.
My personal car (Jeep Grand Cherokee) rises 9'' to travel on uneven ground, so the military rises much faster than my car...
YEAH so the shell casings dropping down from helicopters are INSANELY hot and do fuck you up if youre below it, doesnt do any real damage if hit by the casings but it does burn/melt your skin when it gets stuck in your shirt, dont ask me how i know lol.
american here yea i have a military base about 15 minutes up the road from me you occasionally hear explosion's and hear A10 warthogs and drones and other planes flyby my house and its unreal you feel the ground shake and feel the vibrations in your body when they do that stuff. and also they are *VERY* touchy about you being near their base (understandably so) but we can see tanks, apcs, missile launchers, etc, when you drive by it.
Correct me if I'm wrong..But I believe in Desert Storm a group of tanks surrendered to an Apache Strike Group.
If you're curious about how the Javelin can defeat any known armor, it actually pops up and dives down on its target. The top armor tends to be the thinnest and most vulnerable on most vehicles, including tanks.
OK were to start ..little bird ..the soldiers are NOT strapped in they must be able to exit rapidly..the momentum keeps you in the helo ..red tips on ammo is the tracer ammo ..the Javlin is a Too down weapon..as that is the weaks part of a vehicle
Blackhawks can carry up 14 troop depending on the seating configuration 16 with Pilots and co pilot .
The girl asked about the Javelin's flight. Once it acquires a target, it goes towards it, then flies up and down in a loop, to come down vertically. This is because tanks are weakest on top. They're heavily armed on the sides.
I dream of my Army weight. I'm an Army infantry veteran and I was 6 ft 185 when I went in. I was fortunate enough to be a paratrooper, and I think I lost an inch and there's somewhere. Not everybody's that tall there are 5'5 powerhouses, they always find the right place for themselves and it all works and we all work together
