Even if you can't stop a launch, being able to ensure that "you won't be coming home" has got to change the mission planning on the other side. Even if they don't care at all about the crew, knowing you won't get air-frames back that haven't been in production since 1993 isn't something you do without thinking about what else you could use them for.
@@kousand9917 that gets me thinking, if you know that a strike is inbound, are you better off scrambling everything (including non defense units) or leaving stuff on the ground? Are your odds of having usable landing strips before you run out of fuel better than the odds of surviving in known ground positions?
@@benjaminshropshire2900 METT-TC dependent, but it really depends on how early the warning is. If they know an attack is pending and unlikely to be defeated/likely to inflict significant damage on the aircraft while on the ground, they would almost certainly elect to disperse forces if the timeline allowed. If they find out they only have 30 minutes or something like that, they're not going to have enough time to get aircraft safely in the air and they would likely focus on getting personnel to bunkers.
@@benjaminshropshire2900 Look at how US Forces in Iraq responded to the threat of ballistic missile attack in Jan 2020 for a case study of how threat and time would be considered when coming up with a plan.
Instead of more speed perhaps earlier warning? A single frigate or destroyer serving as a radar picket might work. It is unlikely that a large group of Bear bombers assembling and taking off would go unnoticed by intelligence assets. That could provide a clue as to the approximate time and most likely approach vector of the potential incoming strike. Enough warning to send out a vessel as early warning radar and possibly to shoot down some incoming missiles. That allows the B-1 and F-15EX to take off a little bit sooner and get into position to intercept while managing fuel.

Millenium7-History Tech, did an analysis of the -174 a few weeks back. He calculated the missile could/would have a maximum range of an astonishing 617 km/383 miles!!!
Fighters are cool but ive always had a soft spot for bombers. I got to see the XB-70 at the air force meuseam in ohio and its so freaking cool. They also have a B1, a B52, the Bockscar, and more ww2 bombers.
Great video, Cap! It might be worth trying out Fox-1 missiles like the AIM-7 to deconflict better and to stop friendly fire in these missions. It seemed a few people were waiting for a good 5 minutes to have their turn shooting AIM-120s to avoid hitting someone, and the range of the AIM-120s here doesn't seem much larger than an AIM-7
@@jameson1239 the issue is that you lose efficiently and the risk of friendly fire. Not to mention at those ranges, you lose the major advantage of the AIM-120
@@LegitimateCK4120 you also can’t fire multiple sparrows at once at different targets only being able to engage one missile at a time would have slowed them down even more not to mention sparrows can get confused because they track reflected radar emissions if you have multiple radars illuminating targets that are close together the sparrow can get confused
@@jameson1239 the trade off with that is the idea everyone can fire at once, as you can deconflict targets and in theory avoid friendly fire. AMRAAMs are great, but can go for the biggest targets and do miss as well. I believe the US and UK used fox-1s when Iran launched that big cruise missile/drone strike not too long ago. Idk, guess it would be interesting to test, pros and cons to both after all!
Hmm great idea. I had one but there’s probably a reason it wasn’t used that one of you could explain to me? If they all went with STT lock then their AMRAAMs shouldn’t be at risk of hitting other jets, and all jets could fire AMRAAMs at once without having to deal with the low PK of a Sparrow. Yes you have to wait for it to hit but if everyone is closer to the missile pack then that time is minimized, and offset by the simultaneous use of missiles. Thoughts?
guam would likely have a THAAD system in addition to Patriot and the THAAD system's AN/TPY-2 radar has an unclassified range of 2,900 mi (2,500 nmi; 4,700 km)
SuperCap, the Great Bear Hunter! Quick way to make that scenario work, you were SO close: Send a couple of SparkVarks out with the Bone. They're fast enough to keep up, and would hash the Bears' radar for just long enough to get you those few minutes. Success!
Thank you for doing a variation on the AIM-174B I had an idea for. The B-1R is close enough to my B-21 or B-2 missile truck concept. I know one thing about the B-1. It's loud and fast. One of my favorite birds at airshows. One idea I have is the "B-1RX" A B-1R with the same engines of the F-35, the F-135s. Although, I'm pretty sure the B-21 probably has a variation of the F-135 engine.
This is how to attack a carrier group; no navy would risk there carry group when they were not forced to a few B-1 with makos to drain the VLS cells as they would be forced to fire multiple interceptors Macko, followed up with 174b as they have a large warhead and a longer range. The other benefit of this is with the range of the b-1 they could attack before the enemy was within attack range themselves.
6:41 By my estimation, the B-2 can carry at least two in each of its bays (which is kind of a scary concept, to be honest), so I’m confident the B-1 can as well.
Yep this one hit the spot! I think AIM174 videos will stay entertaining if you keep pushing the envelope of what they're doing. A single B-1 taking out a fleet of bombers ain't bad. Maybe you could push a couple of those right into china on the first day of a war, if you supported them with the whole Raptor fleet. Could only simulate a fraction of that but...- Perhaps it is worth testing just how important P-8's could be, they are persistent and numerous for USN but all of these wargames they are just left out. I can understand not having the P-8 working in game, but surely there is an analog. Also, if you do get it working, I'd love to see if you could do the Falklands raid. UK has 9 of them, right? Can they do long range strike? Does the U.S. and other operators have a "secret" bomber force?
Thx Cap, Seems like you could launch 2 tankers behind the FA aircraft and have them stay in Burner longer for the intercept. But the actual value of that may be slight as you seemed to have adequate engagement time on the missiles.
In DCS, can you create and use a F15EX? It supposedly carries 22 air to air missiles. I just watched a video by Military Affairs on UA-cam. Has missiles that pop out of the side the body under the wing…..
Nice video as always Cap. Very infrmative (and fun). I was wondering if the Grim Reapers could ever try a desert war runway denial raid with RAF tornados?
Cap, can you imagine how much noise all those Tu95's would be making, you wouldn't need Radar to find them as you would probably be able you hear them a few hundred miles away. ✈✈✈✈🔊😬
The problem with these scenarios is the timing. The USA would know when the Russian bombers took off from their respective bases. So, the USA would have airborne assets intercepting the bombers much sooner. Rerun the scenario with the B-1 already airborne and halfway to interception.
F22 Engines on a b1 bomber? The engine from a little fighter jet installed into something significantly bigger and heavier? Those engines must be something great. I didn't know that. I know about thr FB-22.
Capt, you ask how to make it better, well use 2x B52j on a barrier cap using their new radars, and let the TU95 launch a max range as Guam is not a moving object, or have 2 x EC3 on the expected line of advance as there will be some radio chatter from the bears

I have an off-topic question for the experts here at GR. I've recently broke my 3rd X56 flight stick as in the plastic at the ball joint literally broke and unusable. But my throttle is great and I already have rudder pedals. I plan on buying a winwing 16EX stick this weekend. I'd like a new throttle too but I'm disabled Marine Corps vet and that's pushing the budget getting both together. Does anyone know I can use the x56 throttle with a winwing stick for at least a month with full use. I would appreciate any advice. I'm going to the much more expensive option because I've broken so many plastic sticks, 5 in the last 10 years and want one that is all metal will last for years to come. Help me Obi-Wan Kanobi your my last hope 😢
Crazy future idea. The problem to shooting the bears down early enough is speed getting to the bears. ...what if the platform that delivers the aim-174b to the bear's range...is a larger missile?
