Air Force has had a high energy airborne LASER platform since 1981! A film of it was shown at commanders call at Tinker AFB in an "Air Force Now" film. The film showed it blowing up a drone aircraft, no red beam no sound like in SIFI movies, the plane just blew up!
It was a 707/135 platform.
@@davef.2811 No it wasn't. It was actually a 747.
And this was in 2006
@@alexhudson- Many years ago, I saw what was probably the initial development platform of this at an AFB. Might even have been Tinker, I don't remember now.
@@davef.2811 My dad worked and flew on it.
Who else here because of Maui?
What is Maui?
Works great starting forest fires.
This is wild considering what Maui just went through.
I know right
why would they use a fucking plane for that? just send some crackheads with gasoline cans smh. easier
Yes isn't it. And evil as they come.
@@Pixel_FX they'd send some sunset movement, juststopoil or extinction rebelloons scum, then pin on some "crack heads" but I guess you missed the image shot by a passenger on a plane which shows a circle of fire in Maui. Yea fucking crack heads, that's the bbbUNwefetcetc.
On point ✌️🙏
0:39 so I can hear the camera shutter, but not the plane taking off?
it has suppressor on
Sooo, setting fire in the middle of the forrest is now easy?
Yeah just look what they did in Maui
NOT TO MENTION TEXAS😮
Maui, Hawaii, 2023
Wow take a minute and realize how big that plane really is. Look how small the pilots windows are. Can you imagine the guts in that plane to power a laser with that large of a reflector? Born in 1970 back when that kind of thing was still taught in school and science fiction wasn't so fiction then.
French accent: "two hours later"
It's a 747 with deathstar weapon.
Is this plane still in the airforce today?
@@60ssuperman12 nope,its scrapped for the parts after cancellation of the program !
Sadly, we're behind in power by a factor of 10^26, but this is 80s tech were probably there by now😂
Hawaii muai attack
My dad designed the laser. RIP.
Did he ever tell you how it worked?
@@mk6315its actually a chemical reaction. Very interesting
@@christophhaas5696 what sort of chemicals?
iodine laser?
what happened to commentary sound?!
Amazing plane!
no shields be shot down in instant
@rsprockets7846 thats what I thought
It was scrapped. Not because it didn't work. It did. But the Optics and the LASER were going obsolete before that plane and LASER actually flew. Solid State LASERS of sufficient power now exist, (no more massive payload of chemicals driving the LASER), and the Active and Adaptive Optics housed in that turret are all HUGELY reduced in size now. The only obstacle left is the satellite based mirror system to get the beam exo-amospheric and back down again. This is a matter of penetrating 120 Miles of atmosphere. But YAL-1 made it's intercepts at ranges of 200 miles PLUS. This relay system could easily make this LASER interception possilbe from a mobile station pulled up in a parking lot anywhere.
It must have some extreme low beam divergence to be effective at hundreds of miles.
The media launched an onslaught against the SDI program perhaps because they thought it was an easy way to make Reagan look foolish. If the system is also effective against nonnuclear weapons, the argument of well one might get through anyway is a lame argument. It seems like the same people that scoff at the SDI program are the same ones telling us we need to spend trillions to stop tge fake climate crisis. The warming since 1980 has been caused by earthquakes. A magnitude 9 releases as much heat energy as about ten million one megaton hydrogen bombs. If it is ten or 15 miles down like the ones in 2004 and 2011, one might expect it to heat up the ocean and melt a lot of ice which is what one sees on the graphs before the graphs.
But the fake climate crisis narrative has encouraged many to install home solar energy systems. These systems often have large battery packs. A metropolitan area with ten million homes might have ten gigawatts of electric utility power.
A 12 volt lead acid battery can deliver about 10,000 watts. Times 100 in a 100 kwh battery pack is a million watts. Times ten million is ten trillion watts. That is a thousand times more power than from the electric utility. If the 10 billion watts from the electric utility were used to power a solid state or CO2 laser system, it might destroy many incoming nuclear and nonnuclear weapons. Having a thousand times power might generate useful for another system. A laser defense would be useless against nuclear warheads if there is much low cloud cover. But with ten trillion watts, it might be possible to evaporate the clouds from a large metropolitan area or raise the cloud ceiling by a number by a number of kilometers allowing enough time to destroy incoming warheads with lasers. And destroy planes and drones and missiles carrying nonnuclear weapons. An argument might be made that the expense and effort put into a laser defense is futile against an average 50% or 70% cloud cover. Why bother if the system is only 30% effective.
Some try to say that Reagan spoke of a 100% effective defense against nuclear weapons. That may be possible but perhaps not probable. But there is a big difference between getting hit by one negaton and ten negatons especially in terms of radiation contamination. And with ten trillion watts, a 100% effective defense under clear skies might be more than just possible but even probable.
If one does the numbers on the expense of the laser system, figuring mass produces CO2 or solid state lasers, the cost is a small fraction of a defense against even just conventional weapons and the ammunition is virtually unlimited and free to replace. Americans might think that they are safe from conventional weapons because of a nuclear deterrent. But that may be less probable than some think. The EU is running out of TNT and gunpowder. Will they just surrender if they run out? The nuclear deterrent was supposed to compensate for overwhelming Soviet advantage in tanks and conventional arms. But the Soviets still trampled all over Eastern Eurooe and the nuclear deterrent did not stop them from attacking Ukraine.
easy target too
If they put a decent laser on an RQ 180 type platform it could patrol neat North Korea or Iran and shoot down their missiles in the boost stage of flight.
@@JK-uj8ur NAW ORBITAL WEAPONS PLATFORM WOOD BE BETTTER
@@JK-uj8urit would need to be masive drone
Mounting fast missiels that would intercept the ICBMs could be better,cheaper and more possible option
RIP YAL-1 2002 - 2014
Why did they discontinue this plane?
@@60ssuperman12 too expensive to operate. There's a Wikipedia page about this aircraft for more info
🔴🔴🔴 AUDIO⁉️
why fund a ABL system when Space Force got built in lasers capable of exo atmosphere flight
Brilliant pebbles and these systems should be everywhere
there motto COOK EM DAN-O
let me ask a question!?
this Airborne Laser effective against incoming Nuclear Warhead?
think the whole point is to shoot the icbm is "Before" it reaches space. So probably not incoming icbms, especially if it's mrv' s
I don't get why they scrapped this plane THAY should of held her untill you know 2020 and so if ww3 does happen witch it probably won't they could use this aircraft to
@@dioniciothomas5716 "Secretary of Defense Gates summarized fundamental concerns with the practicality of the program concept:
"I don't know anybody at the Department of Defense, Mr. Tiahrt, who thinks that this program should, or would, ever be operationally deployed. The reality is that you would need a laser something like 20 to 30 times more powerful than the chemical laser in the plane right now to be able to get any distance from the launch site to fire ... So, right now the ABL would have to orbit inside the borders of Iran in order to be able to try and use its laser to shoot down that missile in the boost phase. And if you were to operationalize this you would be looking at 10 to 20 747s, at a billion and a half dollars apiece, and $100 million a year to operate. And there's nobody in uniform that I know who believes that this is a workable concept""
@@redpandaz5146 thanks for the information and citing your sources, I have recently discovered this project and have become fascinated.
Well more robust reason wasn't the cost itself, it was the safety. The laser uses something called singlet oxygen which is created using hydrogen peroxide and chlorine. Not only are both corrosive and dangerous, but the by product is chlorine gas. Too many safety systems to manage. Too much could go wrong
yo buddy , still alive?
Fellow ace, hello there
A bizarre but very cool project! It should’ve been put in the Air Force Museum. It would look cool on a 747-8.
uhhhhhhh they had it since 1998 and out in the Desert Boneyard its just tooo big
ohh so cool not ohh so cool not ohh so cool not ohh so cool not ohh so cool not ohh so cool not
@@jeff-sq4fe >> Not only that, it’s cool.😎💁🏻♂️🙄

Para el que quiera ver más allá...
Is this plane still operational?
No, it was broken up for scrap in 2014
Not that they say but yes it still is
@@O5FS muesum in arizona scrapyard
@@rsprockets7846 they have something better than this now lol look at Israel’s radar plane with its huge nose hahaha
@@O5FS Big Black TRANGLES got the lasers and shields capable of spaceflight
Russia only got a airborne spud gun on a biplain
Dr Bendover speaking of T50 Pak fa which is as powerful as a f22 is right now. So now the Russians are catching up on tech
Dr Bendover and you can’t even spell bi plane
So it’s like a flying gun
isnt every plane a flying gun technically?
@@armoredcf3536 To my knowlege, the A-10 fits that description.
Is this plane still in service today?
No, discontinued
Was discontinued long ago in 2014. Too expensive to operate
BOTH MAUI AND TEXAS
I read that this system was cancelled which means discontinued and updated versions are now being used. But do you suppose a non military version has been made? I saw an add for a portable laser system is being sold for $12,000 and used to trim trees. It's pretty impressive. In one video a tree caught on fire. Oh, it's portable but it has a rather large generator to power it. It's made in China.
Have you seen those rust removal lasers?
Hahaha
Nuclear Weapons fly by pigeons except from the USA. There launch vehicle's are half our speed.
I SEE WHY IT WAS CANCELLED. THIS WAS PROBABLY THE RESULTS FOR THE LOST OF BILLIONS FOR A FABRICATED PROMOTIONAL PROPOSAL.
While China focus on Hypersonics almost 10 years ago we tested speed of light defense systems LOL (as well as hypersonics). And china thinks it could take on U.S.A. Hah, I'd like to see them confront a more modern Airborne laser aircraft that isn't from 10 years ago like this one! The sky would be lit up like a Christmas tree with Chinese fighters and missiles falling from the sky.
Rumor has it we sold 10 models to China.
exactly😮
California forest fires
Who came from the Zeppelin Bass Machine video wondering what the fæk was a boeing yal-1?
No? Only me?
now add bae systems invisibilty tech to a stealth craft with the laser mount. or declare marshal law and attach the lase mount to 100,000 commercial airliners and invade mexico, remember the alamo. lol
CONSPIRACIONES
THAT'S FOR WARFARE. NOT TO SET FIRES EVERYWHERE....

u can shoot down fighters with this dawg, but ICBMs? naw...

don't go atack russia :p they got something more advance :3
They have no money you fool XD
Byron Henry
they done that more powerfull shit than this, in while the 1st world war... The President was killed because he showed that technologie..
They got the yak-9t
what are you on about? The 1st world war? Lasers? This is some conspiracy shit
@@e-dawggaming1198 we have laser tech guns in Romania since the 1960s, well... don't imagine star wars laser pistols haha
Anyone else here because of Maui??
