I have long figured that just because SDI was never publicly pursued was no reason to believe we can't shoot down ICBMs and satellites through other means. That redonkulously overinflated military budget has yielded some crazy and frankly awesome shit over the years.
Just look at the SR71. One of the most advanced planes ever built, was conceptualized and designed in the 50s and early 60s in total secrecy. Then the US said, look what we have, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Here's a fun fact... a half second burst from a 50 kilowatt laser is enough to burn a hole in a titanium airframe. And if that airframe is moving faster than the speed of sound (at whatever its altitude's air density says the speed of sound is), then the properties of the air flow will MELT that hole all the way back to the tail in the fuselage... no additional laser zap needed. They did that in the late 80's. I for one do not think they set that tech aside and forgot about it.
We have 50 kw lasers strapped on Strykers for "missile defense" now, which are being put into the field practically, no longer prototypes. Bigger stuff on newer destroyers.
the germans had lasers back in the late 1940s i read a few reports that it was more radiation then heat itself....basically meant to irradiate the crew by using the plane as a conductor and amplifying the radiation. it was never made or pressed into service because it would require like...30-40 seconds of concentrated focus for one target. this is really not very new tech
@@tearstoneactual9773 There are two main problems with lasers, the scenario described essentially needs to have perfect conditions (also in the case of a supersonic aircraft the laser is getting a lot of help from friction). Lasers are subject to atmospheric scattering, and thermal blooming. If there are clouds, smoke, fog, or just too much air between you and the target you will not get that result. The clouds smoke, fog, are obvious, but the too much air is due to the previously mentioned thermal blooming. The laser itself changes the properties of the media it travels through and in high power applications this takes the forms of invisible lenses where the absorption of a fraction of the radiation from the laser has changed the localized index of refraction of the air itself. What this leads to is a loss of collumation, the associated destructive quantum interference that brings, and functionally acts as a range limiter on the laser itself. Now, that thermal blooming issue is also responsible for the second problem with lasers, which is that they don't scale well. Remember the thermal blooming is caused by the air absorbing a fraction of the radiation emitted right? The thing is, that fraction? Doesn't change as it depends on things like temperature, elevation (more correctly, air pressure), humidity, and even the absorption characteristics of the particular localized mix of atmospheric gasses between the laser and the target along it's column. All things being equal if 1/1000th of the radiation emitted by a 30kw laser is absorbed into blooming, then 1/1000th of a 1 megawatt laser will ALSO be absorbed into blooming. The problem here is that 1/1000th of one megawatt is significantly more than 1/1000th of 30kw on an absolute scale. So all effects of thermal blooming will be increased, which will have more of an effect on collumation. So sure, you are powering through but you're doing so in a very inefficient manner and it rapidly becomes impractical to power large lasers in atmosphere. Notably, none of this applies in space. In space, lasers are going to absolutely rule. Since there's no effective way to transfer heat to the vacuum of space (except for radiation, which means shiny surfaces are going to become the bane of lasers in space) you could focus a 30kw laser to the size of a pinhead and, with an advanced enough tracking system and associated moving parts, punch a barely perceptible hole through a critical component to take out a satellite without completely destroying it and exacerbating Kessler Syndrome. Unfortunately, even if you build a Gigawatt level laser in space, firing at a ground target is likely going to be a "no can do buddy" due to thermal blooming.

Had a giggle about US officials claiming we didn’t have an answer for it. The US was designing orbital weapons and counters for them nonstop during the Reagan presidency until everybody signed a cute little treaty. Trust me Russia, if you violate that treaty the next step is permanent Kessler syndrome localized entirely over Russia at all times
Yeeeaaah, that's kinda the problem with Kessler Syndrome. If it goes, then LEO will become a No Fly Zone of hypersonic debris encircling the entire planet, and it's not entirely certain if, let alone when, atmospheric drag would deorbit it all. And that's assuming it kicks off in LEO. If you hit GEO, that's NEVER coming back down.
You know, there is a timeline out there where China does design a hypersonic missile and US steels it, and when China complains, the US would just say 'Not so fun when it happens to you, is it?'
What if USA finds out, that chinese missile is full of chinese tech? Or worse: full of Nvidia and AMD hardware? (Jen-Hsun Huang and Lisa Su are cousins after all).
Not quite true in this case though. The US has a large number of hypersonic test vehicles that could’ve easily been weaponized - we chose not to because it meant buying fewer MRAPs, while the Chinese didn’t.
In Russia a project failure ends in an 💥 In the US a project fails when it's .05 degrees off target or 5% slower than expected. In China project fail due to dirty Xerox machines.

Also India shot down a satellite in 2019. India. It was a big deal because they didn't prepare it for the debris to quickly deorbit so a number of satellites including the ISS had to make emergency maneuvers to avoid the debris cloud as it continued to orbit and spread out. There were serious concerns about India initiating a Kessler storm at least temporarily. But thankfully the last large trackable piece finally deorbited in 2022.

It fired Pulse Plasma Cartridges through a Free Electron Laser bore, to turn six-ton satellites in geosynchronous orbit into welding slag. Then they quit firing "tests" because we begged them to stop, because the splatter off their targets was taking out other satellites.

The fear being that if the tank was not destroyed, it was possible for the fuel to make it to earth without burning up and creating a nightmare toxic spill.

Keep in mind, everything mentioned here is public information. Now, imagine what is not public information.
I have long figured that just because SDI was never publicly pursued was no reason to believe we can't shoot down ICBMs and satellites through other means. That redonkulously overinflated military budget has yielded some crazy and frankly awesome shit over the years.
. . . That's a *_really_* good point holy crap.
This is just the stuff we KNOW happened.
Just look at the SR71. One of the most advanced planes ever built, was conceptualized and designed in the 50s and early 60s in total secrecy. Then the US said, look what we have, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Maybe their trying to develop a way to recreate orbital drops.
Here's a fun fact... a half second burst from a 50 kilowatt laser is enough to burn a hole in a titanium airframe. And if that airframe is moving faster than the speed of sound (at whatever its altitude's air density says the speed of sound is), then the properties of the air flow will MELT that hole all the way back to the tail in the fuselage... no additional laser zap needed. They did that in the late 80's. I for one do not think they set that tech aside and forgot about it.
I believe the new Flight III Arleigh Burkes has laser anti-air defenses (HELIOS system). So... we've gotten there.
Set aside? Plausible.
Forgotten about? Never.
We have 50 kw lasers strapped on Strykers for "missile defense" now, which are being put into the field practically, no longer prototypes. Bigger stuff on newer destroyers.
the germans had lasers back in the late 1940s i read a few reports that it was more radiation then heat itself....basically meant to irradiate the crew by using the plane as a conductor and amplifying the radiation. it was never made or pressed into service because it would require like...30-40 seconds of concentrated focus for one target. this is really not very new tech
@@tearstoneactual9773 There are two main problems with lasers, the scenario described essentially needs to have perfect conditions (also in the case of a supersonic aircraft the laser is getting a lot of help from friction). Lasers are subject to atmospheric scattering, and thermal blooming. If there are clouds, smoke, fog, or just too much air between you and the target you will not get that result. The clouds smoke, fog, are obvious, but the too much air is due to the previously mentioned thermal blooming. The laser itself changes the properties of the media it travels through and in high power applications this takes the forms of invisible lenses where the absorption of a fraction of the radiation from the laser has changed the localized index of refraction of the air itself. What this leads to is a loss of collumation, the associated destructive quantum interference that brings, and functionally acts as a range limiter on the laser itself.
Now, that thermal blooming issue is also responsible for the second problem with lasers, which is that they don't scale well. Remember the thermal blooming is caused by the air absorbing a fraction of the radiation emitted right? The thing is, that fraction? Doesn't change as it depends on things like temperature, elevation (more correctly, air pressure), humidity, and even the absorption characteristics of the particular localized mix of atmospheric gasses between the laser and the target along it's column. All things being equal if 1/1000th of the radiation emitted by a 30kw laser is absorbed into blooming, then 1/1000th of a 1 megawatt laser will ALSO be absorbed into blooming. The problem here is that 1/1000th of one megawatt is significantly more than 1/1000th of 30kw on an absolute scale. So all effects of thermal blooming will be increased, which will have more of an effect on collumation. So sure, you are powering through but you're doing so in a very inefficient manner and it rapidly becomes impractical to power large lasers in atmosphere.
Notably, none of this applies in space. In space, lasers are going to absolutely rule. Since there's no effective way to transfer heat to the vacuum of space (except for radiation, which means shiny surfaces are going to become the bane of lasers in space) you could focus a 30kw laser to the size of a pinhead and, with an advanced enough tracking system and associated moving parts, punch a barely perceptible hole through a critical component to take out a satellite without completely destroying it and exacerbating Kessler Syndrome. Unfortunately, even if you build a Gigawatt level laser in space, firing at a ground target is likely going to be a "no can do buddy" due to thermal blooming.

If it goes, then LEO will become a No Fly Zone of hypersonic debris encircling the entire planet, and it's not entirely certain if, let alone when, atmospheric drag would deorbit it all.

Also India shot down a satellite in 2019. India.

While I'm not usually one for political cartoons, I do remember one in the 80's where the Russians and the U.S. are sitting at a table to discuss America's "Star Wars" program (-yes, that was a thing in the early 80's) -and the Russian military types are sitting there with $#!%%ing bricks expressions because Darth Vader is sitting on the U.S. side.
DARTH VADER: arm the Death star... ?????
Ya know, politicians should have at least an associate degree in American history. Thats a good idea
No no its not 😂 theyd all think the us was a racist country that started in 1619 or some such bullshit
just don't forget teh Democrat (communist) college professors teachitne hhistory classes though......
Just a passing grade in HS civics class would be good start.
Schumer would be out of a job.
Just a reminder: Hillsdale College has great, and honest, US History classes for the general public. Available online. Check 'em out!
@@kateshiningdeer3334 I attended a college and took an Early American History class, and the professor was very Hands-off. The students were all already raging leftists. The books used actually DID teach teh truth, but the students ignored ALL of it. But the professor was powerless to do or say anything to them. You could tell he was afraid to interfere.
I debated Every student, Every ridiculous response, cited sources from the assigned reading which they clearly didn't read.
I still have copies of ALL my books and source materials we were assigned in class, as well as saving copies of EVERY single debate in the entire class.
I aced the class. But I unfortunately think most everyone passed. If I was the professor, I'd have failed probably 90% of them. They didn't learn a thing.
So, even when the books are good, and the professors know the truth, they are threatened and unable to do what they need to for fear of losing their jobs.
There are still a few good schools out there. but not many.
Sounds like the Space Force just ordered F15s and some new rockets😂
Thank you for saying out loud the part we all want to
"I'm just competing with myself right now" that one is gold.
You know if America is mad if metric
is used and not imperial. You done went the wrong way on a one way street.
Who pissed in America's Cheerios this morning.. gaht DAYUM he was salty AF LOL
He's air defense, this probably his close to home for him.
I think it was the news today that pesticides are in Cheerios and those pesticides cause infertility.
dude if styropyro can make a handheld super laser, then the United States has made that but like 100x more powerful
Real quick about the 2008 shootdown. The USS Lake Erie fired a RIM-161 SM3 at the satellite. The satellite itself was about the size of a small sedan. The satellite wasn't actually the target. The target was an office wastepaper basket sized fueltank containing deadly hydrazine fuel. The fear being that if the tank was not destroyed, it was possible for the fuel to make it to earth without burning up and creating a nightmare toxic spill.
So, to sum up:
In 2008 the United States Navy fired a missile at a wastepaper basket 220km in space going 20,000MPH and hit and destroyed it in one shot.
E: typo - _offuce > office_
ABC news botched their headline and called them 'Intergalactic' missles. Galactic escape velocity from Earth is something like Mach 950-1700. These would be threatening but as they are still slower than Superman I'm not so concerned.
intergalactic?
the fuck are they thinking Russia is shooting at, Andromeda?
It's ABC they are morons over there.

I love when America goes Absolute Dad Energy on everybody. Bear in mind the the US decided it was way too expensive to arm space in the 80's when we found out that we could shoot down our own satellites from a jet.
Weaponize outer space ...
U$ most likely already have done it clandestinely .
Congrats on going over 500 thousand followers. Keep up the great work and amazing videos as always!! Some of us that have been around for a while are really enjoying the progress from the very beginning to now.
I saw this on the news yesterday and I was like "yeah, and? We can shoot nukes into space, too, and our nukes actually WORK." $50 says only one in ten of theirs can even launch and then only one out of THOSE ten will actually make it into the upper atmosphere while the others just go up the same way as most V2 rocket tests: ten feet then fall back down and explode.
We also considered using nuclear tipped balistic missiles to destroy or blind satellites in orbit... back in the 1960s.
I just look at what's coming out of Russian and think to my self, "Wait that's the plot to GoldenEye......."
the hypersonic bit does bring up a good point
I'm calling it now, when the Air Force retires the F-15, the Space Force is going to grab it for it's ability to shot down satellites. Maybe grab a few ships as well.
Imagine the budget hearing. "So, did I get this right. You, the Space Force, wants money required to get an aircraft carrier full of F-15s?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Movable space interceptors"
"You must be kidding me. Don't you want anything else? "
"Some F-22s and B-52s would be fun"

I love this channel.
This one is awesome man! I’ve listened to it at least 5 times.
Didnt anyone else read "The Cardinal of the Kremlin"? Tom Clancy knew, why doesn't everyone else?
Or Red Storm Rising - Buns Nakamura if memory serves?
⬆️⬆️⬆️ This guy knows his Clancy.
I read the double edition of those two books I had to tatters.
@@Professor_GonZo Yeah, my copy of RSR fell open at the chapter where the frisbees went in. As a second fave I always rather liked Patriot Games - or the later one's with weaponised Ebola. Terrifying.
@vfrhawk7633 the Iceland subplot is my favorite. It really humanized the whole book for me in a way the European Theater didn't.
@@Professor_GonZo yes, the rest of the plot was somewhat more about the equipment, that was almost entirely about people. Incredible it was published 38 years ago.
Fucking LOVED IT!!! All we needed was FLORIDA getting involved and “butt chugging RedBull” then going at China!!! Love your stuff BROTHER 🫡🫡
I needed a laugh and YOU DELIVERED, THANK YOU 🙏🫡

J-12 Nanchang isn't a "copy" or reverse-engineered of the Super Sabre .
J-8 II isn't a "copy" of any Soviet jets .
Jh-7 isn't a "copy" of any foreign jets .
J-20 isn't a "copy" of the MiG or F-22/35 .
"Because I haven't fucking designed it yet for you to steal" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 still rolling a minute later.
the lack of knowledge exhibited by politicians sometimes is really fucking alarming...
And now with 3D printers, "you have toys that can take down satellites?"
Yes, an exaggeration, for now. We can make a lot at home now.
Dude with some backyard chemistry, a 3D printed missile casing and a Arduino based guidance computer you've got the makings for a home brew Surface to Air laser guided missile. Heck there were UA-cam videos of some guy in the midwest documenting his progress of duplicating the Javelin 6 ish years ago. Home brew is insane nowadays.
You can already 3D print something to shoot down drones, I'm sure someone will try and see how many batteries they can plug into it before it explodes.
@@thomasschulz2167 Nice, so the FBI HAS REASONS to search everyone's house. Copy that shit. Just a click away from a "National security risk". Hmmh I like the smell of homegrown bullshit in the morning.
I've seen the old ruins of what is supposed to be part of the old laser base from the 90's, it's what i've been told.
The fact that there was a thing called "Hellstuff" absolutely sends me lmao
I just love it when you put new stuff out. You just make my day!
That last line made me spit out my drink involuntarily 🤣 love your content. Thanks for the fun
ohhhhhhh yeah Rods of god time
Nukes are probably easier to set up in orbit, rather than hauling a bunch of tungsten telephone poles, which aren't that accurate and don't have as much force as you'd think. (Conventional artillery is about as destructive.)
The smile on my face when you mentioned HELSTF. 😂😂
The amount of stuff that has been made and came out of White Sands is wild. 😂
One word.
MARAUDER.
Look into it.
I'm addicted to this channel atp
