    Very interesting Sam! I was a trained system technician on the HAWK-system, made by Raytheon, and I am also a stock owner of Raytheon, so it was with great pleasure I saw your entertaining video. What else I would like to see? On my list there are: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell, and should you go to the UK I would like to see similar videos from BAE. Your lastname sounds Swedish by the way. I'm from Sweden. Thanks again for your videos!

    Raytheon's technology appears to have nearly caught up to modern sci-fi portrayals of the future in some aspects, with humans and robots working in tandem, massive holographic projector rooms, 3-D laser scan mapping, and rooms full of instruments reaching out to the horizon; I don't think even NASA has this much tech crammed into one building.

  • @tylerdurdin8069
    @tylerdurdin8069 9 місяців тому +1

    Not the way microwaves developed. The magnetron came first, it was used to develop radar circa WW2. Radar facilities in Hawaii noticed that there were dead birds around their radar dishes and upon inspection noticed the birds were cooked from the inside out. Raytheon then developed the radar range. The first microwave. The problem with your lore is that if the peanut bar melted in his pocket from microwave exposure then that guy wouldn't be long for this earth as it would cook him easier than it would the bar because of moisture content as making water molecules vibrate is how microwaves work and since he's more water than that "bar" then he would have certainly felt the effects. This and I was told the story from my training in the Navy and from actual OG Raytheon techs from back in that day. Someone is trying to capitalize on something for some reason but I don't understand their motivation. Keep it real by telling the real story hommie. Not some fabricated propaganda piece told by... who did tell you that lie‽‽‽ Also are you not going to even go into what's really special about the Spy6 radar... it's a phased array radar with 360° constant coverage. Never said a single word about that. Just because it hooks into the Link system doesn't make it special. Everything goes into the Link system.

      Raytheon's the one behind putting those UFOs in the air, too. Maybe Northrup. Look into laser induced plasma, and laser induced plasma holograms. It's plasma that can appear, to the eye, to be a craft, and it is picked up on radar. The radar return on some of these plasma holograms, just so happen to be about the same return that a stealth bomber would make. I find it fascinating.
