I feel like business insider of whatever they are calling themselves now is just a combined version of different videos that they already released and putting it into a new video and giving it a new title
This video was a series of previous videos combined into one. But even then, goes to show how much work is put into things like maintaining aircraft, creating new aircraft, training future pilots and carrying out exercises to prepare for a real life combat situation. Much respect to all those serving in the military for their hard work and commitment to protecting their country and allies abroad.
Working as civilian contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan 2006 thru 2012 I always LOVED getting an opportunity to travel in the Osprey. When those huge wings rotate into forward travel the acceleration G's you feel in the cabin is awesome!
Jesus loves you and wants to free you from any shackles in your life! Call upon His name and He will save you! If you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe that He rose from the dead and abandon your sins, you will be saved! God bless you, have an awesome day ❤😊😊
These warplanes are indeed on another level, compared to other American warplanes. But other European planes already included this technologies before the F-35 had flown for the first time.
I hope that all these incredible machines will be used in training missions and not in combat wars.All the staff working on these amazing planes deserve our respect.
Former machinist here. There's a lot more work in making those wierd and precisely shaped airplane parts than you think because you can't weld or cast aluminum. You have to start with a block of metal and cut it down until you get the part. Most of the material goes in the recycle and robot cutting machines do most of the work but it might take a semi-skilled worker all day to make 100 VERY SIMPLE parts while the bigger structural parts we did often took three guys all day to make a couple dozen. This is why airplanes are so expensive.

That's like saying the Commodore 64 computers from decades ago are old, let's build new ones. No you don't just build the same outdated airframe. It was built for different needs with tech that is no longer relevant. A-10 was never really that good at CAS anyway. It killed more of our own guys that any other plane. Time to retire for the F35 because the F35 is so versatile it can easily handle it and the enemy will never even ever see it.
People dont realize the F35B essentially gives Japan aircraft carriers again (they are technically not "allowed" to have them). They can be deployed from much smaller "helicopter" carriers and have give immense more capability then the outgoing harrier.
I saw the first iteration of the A-10 in 1976. (Won't say where) It was so new the flight crew covered the cockpit so Soviet satellites couldn't see inside. Ironically, it was the Army/Marines who lobbied to keep the A-10 in the inventory because of its infantry support capabilities.
Problem is the A-10 was never particularly good at CAS. Now it's so outdated it's horrendous they we're putting people into these planes still and subjecting troops on the ground to it as it's so dangerous for them. This plane has more blue-on-blue incidents than any other airframe.
The F-35B is the most essential component of our broader strategy in securing the pacific. A stealth fighter, fleet defense and strike fighter, deployable from a network of many tiny, faster ships is the only viable naval aviation deployment strategy moving forward. Super carriers are too large and vulnerable to sail within 400 miles of China ground-based anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, in wartime. These ships can sail closer and can spread the power over larger areas. They are smaller, cheaper, harder to track, and as a distributed system, if one leaves for repair, you don’t lose an entire limb of our forces… The carrier can act as the center of the hive, of the distributed system. Moreover, carriers can then shift their operations to larger, heavier aircraft for long-range strike, interdiction, surveillance. AEWACs, refueling, logistics, etc,,,,
so now working out this video is at least a year old the a-10s did get heavily updated and are here to stay a little longer its a great airplane maybe the best for supporting ground troops and its a tank buster a10 is awesome
so nice, that airman is like "it's just a click of the button" for almost every maneuvers. Forgets to mention there are thousands of buttons, and that you have to press the right one at exactly the right speed and altitude
Attending a wedding years ago near Hartford my wife booked us a room at some no tell motel that was pretty cringe to which I said "You book us a room at the end of an airport runway? Good one Hun, Not!" At Sunrise we were awakened by the a loud roar and the place shaking. I looked out the window to see 5 A-10s lined up for take off while blasting the place with jet wash, In Awe of this I took back my grumblings, "How cool is this!"
raining 155's from the sky -- i hope people don't miss that bit lol they are pre-loading and raining artillery shells with precision -- do you know what that does to the target lol just look up what one shell does when fired by ground artillery [its our favorite highlight to show on our channels on youtube]
Yep, but the F-35 is a multinational program, not an American airplane. It was financed and developed by multiple nations, and its different components are built by multiple different nations.
🛩👏🌍 It's reassuring to see these incredible machines being utilized for training purposes rather than in actual combat. The dedication and hard work of the staff involved in the development and operation of these planes deserve our utmost respect. Understanding how the US Military allocates its budget for warplanes sheds light on the complex dynamics of defense spending. I'm intrigued to learn more about the fascinating world of military aviation and its impact on the business landscape. Great video! 🎥🔍💼
🤯🇺🇸💰 The comparison of the US Marine Corps to the entire UK Air Force, Army, and Navy combined is certainly striking. It highlights the vast difference in military capabilities and resources between the two countries. This comment raises questions about defense spending and the allocation of resources. It also sparks curiosity about the strategic considerations and priorities of each nation. The comparison invites further exploration into the dynamics of global military power and the impact it has on international relations.
The US spends about 3.4% of GDP on it's military the UK currently spends about 2.2% of GDP! In Europe only Greece, Latvia and Croatia spend more GDP as a % on defence than the UK. As a total spent the UK spends more than ANY country in Western or Central Europe at $68.5 Billion the UK is committed to defence spending but it simply cannot compete with the 900 Billion the US spend also the economy of scale means the US also gets more bang for it's buck because it orders in 100s and 1000s not 10s and 100s.
UK Commandos are Top Notch, even if they don't have the U.S. Hardware.. The RM Commandos trained The Ukrainians, they blew a lot of shit up in Crimea, including key ADR sites which allowed the Ukranians to hit and damage subs, frigates, LSTs, and the Black Sea Fleet Command Center, and now the Russians are retreating. They did this without any capital ships of their own, just a couple of BAMFs on sea doos and rubber boats.
This is a dumb question, but if the age of the A10 is an issue, can't they just make new A10 aircrafts? I agree close-air support is a key asset the plane provides that the F35 isn't really designed for.
@@viking5736 not only that, but the entire designs are outdated. Today stealth and range rules. You can't just get up close to enemy when they all have shoulder fired AA missiles. The F35 can do the A-10s job from so far away that the enemy never even spots it visually, and especially when you consider the stealth radar capabilities imbued into it. Just because Model Ts were good for their time, doesn't mean we should build modern Model Ts.
@John Jingleheimersmith exactly. I didn't want to go into a lot of crazy detail about different eras different doctrines and all that, so thanks for adding that.
@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 I'd argue it was obsolete by the late 80's, when 2nd generation of gun SHORAD's that the Soviets had was in large numbers, the Tunguska. Their main purpose was to strafe and attack columns of russian tanks, but the Shilka and Tunguska made the idea obsolete.
@@Milo-id9qd Sure but the whole idea is debatable from the inception. The best stats the military could put up show how inaccurate the gun was AND THAT WAS UNDER PERFECT, THEORETICAL CONDITIONS. It's mad but a lot of people think the A10 was an underperformer from the outset. The only saving grace for the A10 was the ability to upgrade it's weapon loadout through the decades and those situations were non-near-peer.
Very end of the doco is about the AC-130 and rules of engagement. Last ground feature ID'd from above is a new skate park. Commander says "Skate or Die". I hope those aren't the rules of engagement. Ha.
Those pilots, men and women are awesome. They are talented, smart, courageous, and selfless. They are trained to protect our country and to rescue those who need help.
And yet that budget will continue to increase as multiple companies are now price gouging the parts and overall have every bit of information to fix the equipment that the pentagon does not have, don't be surprised if the f35 turns into the similar situation of the f22 just becoming too expensive
i cant imagine how much easier this thing is to fly than the harriers. also i bet when u have toworry less about landing - you are probably able to get better at dog fighting instead.
As much as I love the A10, us ground troops need to let it go. Our future wars will not be like Iraq and Afghanistan. the next enemy will have capable antiaircraft capabilities.
In this vid some of the guys were saying that the hardest part about flying the f35 is absorbing all the information like where to look and what to do as different situations arise and what instruments to monitor etc. A really good gamer should be able to absorb multitudes of information relatively easily lol, the f35 simulator is basically a rlly good life like video game lol. So if you want to be a fighter pilot in the future, get yourself or your kid an Xbox like the one I built in my thumbnail😊. The military or the government need to Stop phasing out all the other aircraft for the F35 it's going to create problems in the future and cost a lot more. I can understand phasing some aircraft out but they are phasing out way too many tried and true aircraft. IDC how good the f35 is. Everyone always says it's the best plane they've ever flown(almost like they were coached into saying that) but it never needs to get close enough to dogfight so go figure. I could go on all day about reasons to Not phase out other aircraft simply because they think the f35 will be able to do everything those aircraft can better. Guess what we have the f35 now, o ok so were good to phase out the c5 and the b2 then 😆.
The F-35 doesn't seem like a replacement for the A-10. t seems like aspects of the plane's envelope (low cost, robustness, massive ground assault capability) can't be replaced by the F-35. Also, imagine Iran getting hold of F-35 tech and giving it to all of their buddies, right? Not to mention that the USAF could buy several A-10s for the price of one F-35. I think I'd ask the Army if they like the A-10. That's what the plane is there for, after all. Are ground troops and tankers happier with A-10s hanging around, or do they prefer Apaches and the new choppers being developed? A replacement with a higher ground speed seems like a good option.
Having personally been in the shit when cas finally gets there and they have an A10, it would be a terrible disservice to ground pounders to mothball them. Just KNOWING there are A10s on station makes you feel better leaving the wire.
turn the A10 into a one way remote operated drone: radar absorbent coating. counter measures. explosive ordinance penetrator body. Metal Storm Main weapon. Remove the pilot. keep the rest. It will be the Death Hog. operated by a pilot that is remote using a F35 similar helmet for piloting.

True. I always wonder why they want humans and the answer seems to be “human discretion is necessary” but you can pilot live remotely from the ground
No wonder there's a lot of types of Taxes, gotta gather all the money you can to keep all these tech companies & fleets running.
I admire this enthusiasm for advancing in all sorts if knowledge & technology, I just hope it'll be used for the good of humanity.

500 dollars for a toilet seat. 50 dollars for a cup. 5 dollars for a screw. Another five for a nut. Another 5 for a washer. I can get all 3 the same for 2 dollars.
Id say dont retire the a10 it old but effective even in 20 more years or make a a10 30 worthawk
The A-10 is needed to support ground troops and just needs to be replaced with new planes not retired.
A-10 Fart gun, i make that sound regularly.
Let me play you the song of my people. BRRRRT!
Idol
I understand the original design of the F22 had insane capabilities but it made the plane too expensive. I want one of those, too expensive, F22s
Yemen is definitely scared...3 us aircraft down so far and counting 😂😂
A10 pilots are Attack Pilots not "Fighter Pilots"
ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!
Canada needs to do the same
warthog is a beast, one machine you do not want to see if your on the receiving end…
Well it is for our troops on the ground. The plane has killed more of our own troops than any other plane. It's time to get rid of it.
