The Bat Bomb was America's plan B in case the Manhattan Project failed, but it was canceled after the success of the Trinity test. The people working on the Bat Bomb didn't know about the Manhattan Project (which was top secret), and they didn't find out why Project X-Ray was canceled until after Hiroshima.
Most of the bats came back to the PX and mess hall whose high ceilings led to fire. Or was this dis-info? Carrots and night vision, just cover up for radar.

As a child, I used to spend holidays at my aunt and uncle's countryside house. One day, my chubby cousin accused me of taking a cookie from his stash (we both received packages from my aunt, While I ate one he had already eaten about five of). After a lot of tears, he decided to stash the remaining cookies in his room, along with the dog to guard them while he went off to play. However, the dog ended up devouring his precious cookies.

It reminds me of the cat that the US spend millions of dollars on making a spycat during the cold war. It was equiped surgically with an antenna in its tail, microfones in its ears, a transmitter by the neck and a battery in its stomach. After months or years of testing a developing, spending millions of dollars on it, it was finally ready for its first mission. The goal was to spy on some russians in a park in New York. The first thing that happens is that its run over by a taxi driver when crossing the street. The project was stopped soon after
@@mailcs06 COrrection on some things i mentioned in the first comment: It was 5 years it took and 200 million dollars in todays equvilant i think. There was planed to be a battery pack in its stommach but it ended up being it the neck, and i thikn the transmitter was also in the neck. The name of the project was called Acoustic Kitty.

this channel is honestly so good, found you a couple of weeks ago and went on a binge, for sure gonna hit 100k by the end of this year. loving the runescape music in the background too
Just found this channel. These videos are great. The amount of editing and comedic value accompanied with the educational value are priceless. I subbed immediately after watching just two videos. Great work.
The novogrod was ok for its job. It'd get fucked in a proper sea battle but it was essentially a moving costal defence platform that was quite cost effective. Awful ship in most aspects, decent at being a thing with big guns to hang around the coast.
I've been binge watching your vids this whole week, they're genuinely funny. It's uncommon that I subscribe to someone, I'm only subbed to like 10 people and been on UA-cam since I was 12(I'm 24 now). Your videos are great, honestly a lot better than the other animation history youtubers since your videos aren't 5 mins long or 30 mins long, they're just long enough that I won't get tired of the subject or be craving more. Keep covering these dumb obscure topics of history 🙏
Love the channel. Instantly subscribed. To bad your content isnt "advertiser friendly". Im surprised you even got recommend but you did so now im bingeing you channel.
During WWII the Soviet Union trained anti tank dogs. They trained dogs to search under tanks for food so they could later strap a bomb to the dogs and have them hide under an enemy tank to be detonated. The issue was the dogs were trained to recognise Soviet tanks, so often ran to them instead of the German tanks.
Honestly, history was one of my worst subjects in school and I had little interest in it. (Speaking as a native of the Maple Syrup Land) but your videos have made me have a newfound love for this subject and I love your comedy! You make me laugh every single time! Sending love from the Land of Maple Syrup!
8:04 - Is that my imagination, or is that music Town Square from Spyro 1? (That and the 2nd one were two of my favorite games to ever play. I still have my original Playstation to this day, and it still works! :)
My favourite part of the bat bomb story is that when they conducted an air test, they did it too far into the sunrise and the bats immediately roosted underneath the wings of the plane. Then they were believed to have nibbled at their explosive jackets and, once one went, the whole lot blew and took the plane clean out.
I hate it when they use animals for experiments, let alone war. Disgusting, especially since if animals did that to us humans people would think that it is the most evil and tragic thing ever. 😒
Only one that stuck in my mind was the Soviet Anti-Tank Dogs, basically a dog with a bomb strapped to it trained to seek out tanks and explode. Problem was the Soviets didn't consider how dogs use scent as much as sight. While they disguised the training tanks as German tanks with correct color and designs, they forgot that Soviet tanks used diesel engines while Germans used gasoline engines, completely different scents. Between the dogs freaking out at gunfire and running back to handlers, dogs waiting for tanks to stop moving and getting shot (they were trained on stationary targets and got confused when Tanks were moving) and the dogs who targeted the ally soviet tanks over the enemy tanks, it was a complete flop.

You know the funny thing about the flying tank, by the time it was fully ready the t-60 was outdated by years so even if it went through fully, it would have no gas,ammo or night capabilities as well as being dog shit useless unless faced against infantry even then a AT rifle or a explosive charge would do the trick
I know there's lots of dumb weapons out there. I tried to cover the lesser-known ones. What dumb weapons are your favorite?
Flying tank, AKA Average World of Tanks expirience

"project x-ray"
Ah yes no sonar, these bats use X-rays because why not
I always just imagined the corner gun thingie would just explode, the bullet going through it. Must’ve been a tiny bullet.
It was estimated the bat bombs would have been orders of magnitude more destructive then the both nukes combined
The Soviet Flying Tank reminds me of the 'Ren & Stimpy' episode where they join the Army and become "tank paratroopers". 🤣
the flying tank should be in a movie
