This is probably the most unique take I've seen on AI. Instead of destroying us, or us finding a sense of harmony. The machines we create only continue to carry out the will of their long dead masters incapable of understanding why we fought or why it's pointless to keep going.
Rubixraptor sent me here. Can also confirm, The Forever Winter does definitely catch these vibes, although mankind isn't quite as extinct in that Universe.
I find it interesting that after like a decade these animation starts to struggle when compared to what modern CG suite could serve, still this was a decade ago so its still impressive
A film like that would be beautiful. No humans, just machines, and we the audience would be left to interpret, to think how all this happened and what led up to it. That would be quite beautiful
I get your point, but I don't know how one can make that kind of thing. I mean, this is an interesting concept, but there is only so much material to work with. One can only watch machines fighting a war after our extinction for so long before they lose interest.
A ware like this is always inevitable. We have gathered speed but shut ourselves in. We have all these technologies and fantastic machines but still the same ole primate brain at the helm of it all. We will destroy ourselves
As the helmet lights up to reveal a skull...wow...very effective! As sad a movie as I've seen. The scene with the bullet casings flying is "beautiful"...incredible detailing. A wonderful piece altogether... ☆☆☆☆☆
This looks like it would make a good setting for a post-apocalyptic video game about a world where the Last War killed almost every human being and the very few remaining survivors look for refuge from the automated war machines that continue to do their duty even though their operators are dead. Good or no?
FPSKillstreak Terminator's more about s Rogue AI computer creating a robot army and destroying humanity. This is more we killed each other, and now the machines we built continue to fight our wars, long after we're gone.
This is an awesome piece of work. It might have been inspired by the short SF story called "The Flying Dutchman" written by Ward Moore in 1951. The plot is very similar. Here are the final lines from that story: "It flew toward the city which had long since become finely pulverized rubble. It flew toward the outlying rings of antiaircraft batteries and the few serviceable guns left which would spot it on their radarscreens and automatically aim and fire, attempting to bring it to the fate of all its counterparts. The Flying Dutchman flew toward the country of the enemy, a defeated country whose armies had been annihilated and whose people had perished. It flew so high that far below its outstretched wings and steady motors the bulge of the earth made a great curving line, the earth, that dead planet, upon which no living thing had been for a long, long time."
The design of the bomber is gorgeous! Oh man, really good animation. And it gives an unconfortable feeling, seeing the dead pilots, and the destroyed world beneath them... But that's why it's great!
@ urdnal, 🔵 Why are you acting like an ass-hat?.. (Please take note that I didn't say you WERE an ass-hat, I said you were ACTING like one). There was absolutely NO reason for you to immediately digress into name-calling, the person merely expressed their ignorance of something!....all that was necessary, IF you wished to edify them, would have been for you to Simply inform them that: "It's called 'Nose Art' and was popular in wars fought with air support up to and including Vietnam". FYI: NO-ONE is BORN knowing this stuff!! At one time, YOU were ignorant of this information as well. It takes a certain kind of a person (one with a particular predilection of responding in a derogatory manner when such a lack of Civility is uncalled-for) to just go off at the drop of a hat on someone that is asking a reasonable question or making a statement out of ignorance. [ the definition of 'Ignorant' is: "Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing",as-in: "They were ignorant of astronomy". Synonyms: unknowledgeable, unaware]. Being ignorant is not the same as being an "Ignoramus", one is derogatory, the other is not. Evidently, YOU are 'Ignorant' of the difference. Think of how YOU would feel if EVERY time you expressed YOUR lack of knowledge about something, someone jumped-up and immediately called YOU an "Ignoramus!"... if 'Normal' people did that, it would pretty much be a deterrent for ANYONE to ask questions now wouldn't it? People express ignorance and seek to know by asking questions, This is one of the ways people learn, there is no shame in asking questions and there is no need to be nasty without provocation. I'm not a mental health care professional, but I'm going to hazard a guess that the people who raised you had no tolerance or patience for the normal questions a child would ordinarily ask, and that they castigated you whenever you would inquire about anything, and so you're just passing this particular mental-convolution along to everyone else because that's how YOU were treated...... A shame really, I'm sure it makes things difficult for those that try to be your friend, as VERY few people are going to put up with that kind of shit for very long... quite Sad really. So,.."Good luck" in life with that kind of an attitude hobbling you, if you ever intend on KEEPING any friends very long at ALL you're REALLY going to need it.
This is a really good story. A humanless world fighting a humanless war with no survivors to tell the mechanized army that both sides lost. And that the fighting can stop. A simple animation that tells a long lasting story. Bravo.
One lone bomber, still flying bravely onwards to fight a war ended long ago where all have lost and none have won. The pilot long dead, his bones still firmly trapped within, his mission will never end. The engines of war drone endlessly on, gnashing onwards to finish their goal, to bomb cities destroyed long ago. The only remaining vestige of humanity that remains is the pinup girl who straddles a bomb, who has flown on countless missions and will fly on countless more. She is a symbol of man's lusting for war...and the final and only survivor of our own damnation, and who will witness more bombings, here forevermore.
It only starts on one more mission before engines die and it crashes. Automatic systems eject the pilot's seat with the skeleton in it. Final display: "The war is over". ua-cam.com/video/GhRapsbwhqE/v-deo.html
So are there only two of these by Dima, this and the "Last Day of War"? The concept is thought provoking, especially today. This has been on my top five list since I first saw it.
It would be an impossible movie: everyone is dead, nothing interesting happens from the human point of view. If any director tries to show some prior events, involving living people, the film would inevitably follow the model of the "Final destination" series. Because of the boundary condition placed upon future. That being said, I seriously doubt anyone could enjoy a movie developed from this animation.
I would have to disagree. While the two clips show only two missions, I find the concept of AI's carrying out their last orders, even though the ones who issued those orders are long since dead, to be somewhat compelling. When I was in the USN, we had a very capable class of warship that had an auto mode built in. The last surviving combat crewman could activate the system and the ship would carry out it's mission autonomously until it's weapons and fuel were depleted. Thankfully, it never had to be used. As robotics becomes more advanced and our civilization is on the precipice of self destruction, I can imagine such a scenario as depicted in these two shorts.
I watch this over and over again for so long now. The atmosphere is great and sinister. Great quality and well thought storyline. If anyone knows more of these kinds of movies please reply.
There's supposed to be 3 at least but I only know for sure the sequel is out called The last war or the last day of War. If it's not on CGI brothers it's probably on mad artists
wRazeRw I'd like to see some firing back at bmbarder. And, maybe some automatic dogfights with pilots' sceletons breaking in process. Maybe refueling process shown with perspective on lack of meaning in all of that.
SneakyJoe's Яussian salad I really love the idea of having these things acting autmatically, but without any typical "hive mind" or central AI controlling them. just every unit on its own, working on and on. maybe a sequel could show the base, maybe some animals living there, eating what is served by never-dying machines for soldiers that are long gone.
MrMartechi Than it'd be cool if at any moment one part of airforces would decide that another one is stopping them from doing what they're programmed to do. Like they are doing the same thing, but in process one half is trying to destroy another one.
I could never get "BORED" looking at this fascinating animated film. Oh! You ask! How many times I saw this animated CLASSIC. I stop counting after 100 times. This person who wrote this great film has Good vision of the future. I'm still hoping that there will be another part to this GREAT animated CLASSIC. I salute and bow to all the men and women behind this film.
based on a cry old short SF story. great designs, beautiful rendering and animation. surprised the bombs separated into submunitions but then detonated like huge single bombs.
+Barack Clinton The bombs appear to be styled after a thermobaric weapon. Canisters of liquid explosive form a vapor cloud that is detonated. Heat and pressure wave damage effective against soft targets over a large area.
The fact humanity created these non stop automated killers shows the beauty that destruction can show and the metaphor extracted from it As even as we disapeer and become irrelevant and life continues our grudges never stop not even as we breath our final breath
Reminds me of some strategy game I played. Our armies somehow passed each other, destroying either base completely. Noticing the game wasn't over, both went looking for each others armies to see if that would finish it. It didn't. The only things left was a hangar with a bomber executing bombing runs on my enemy's long dead base and a single enemy fighter landed a bit outside of the map.
In Total Annihilation I once had 100 plane-factories on auto-exit-patrol to my enemies base, he just had build a wall of flag on a 90 degree angel.... and had gone to the store, I never knew. ;)
I heard someone talk about a simulation where they were testing the capabilities of AI to effectively destroy military targets. Supposedly a basic point system was put in place to reward the AI for successfully destroying a target. But then the AI didn't stop. And then it destroyed the radio tower sending it commands. And then it destroyed the command centre giving those commands. Pretty scary.
Honestly incredible work. All i have to say as someone who doesnt do cgi stuff is that you should probally make the explosion mushroom clouds rise much slower to make it a bit more realistic.
...Господи, как же хочется какого-то продолжения. Это всё так идеально. Только представьте какой-то полнометражный фильм, где выжившие после войны люди будут жить в мире, где автоматические машины всё ещё исполняют свой долг. Да даже хорошую видеоигру можно сделать с таким сюжетом
@@sergeysuyarov784 конфликты среди людей можно сделать одной из составляющих сюжета. Я считаю, что можно создать шедевр, если взять за основу вселенную, которую показали в видеоролике
I guess this gives a new meaning to -Put sunglasses on- a skeleton crew.
5 років тому+4
reminds me of a gag in the online comic "order of the stick" where someone was preparing to attack a place with "a skeleton crew" and expected to encounter walking skeletons... "what? look at the world we live in. it was a reasonable assumption."
I don't know what's more terrifying. the fact that humanity extinguished itself.... or the fact that the computers don't even know enough to realize we did
Awesome video and awesome concept, but the one thing that bothered me were the bombs. They were cluster bombs of some sort, but there were only 4 big explosions like from 4 normal bombs, but not hundreds of smaller explosions as I expected after seeing the big bomb scatter into many smaller bombs.
See the small bomb shell with grass at the end? There was only 4 major explosions maybe because those small shells contain no explosives. The explosions maybe only caused by the bigger bomb shells.
Walter Crockett It's one of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons, as it creates a strong vacuum followed immediately by an even more effective explosion.
This video and the other by the same dude "the last war" remind me a lot of a story on a heavy metal magazine I read long ago, there was this tank, beeping of an enemy approach, then it auto loaded it's cannons and aimed at the enemy who was a bird. the tank's crew was long dead and it was just the broken machine still trying to wage war even though everything around it was dead.
I swear the sound effects for that fighter's engine that tried to intercept the bomber was taken from an Avro Vulcan Once you've heard the roar of four Rolls Royce Olympus engines you can't unhear them.
They should just have a movie about only the robots, how they all still continued to do their duty even though all of their creators perished, slowly deteriorating and dying off, one by one
There is something chilling about this short: A war continuing forever because of mindless AIs still carrying out their functions and even replacing the long-dead human soldiers because they literally have no other purpose than to continue the war until victory... But there is *no-one* left to win or to lose.
I know this will get buried in the comments but my father passed away 2 months ago to the day and this was one of his favorite videos on the internet. Rest in Piece Big Man.
Some how this feels like every sci-fi RTS game I've ever played. All the weapons were robots fighting it out, and there were no civilians anywhere to be found.
I saw this video a few years ago and somehow remembered it wrong, I thought that both airplanes had run out of bullets so the cannons tracked each other and clicked but they strafed past and ignored each other after that. I really like the design of the bomber.
There have been similar ideas in sci-fi literature before, but this is very well done as a short film. It would be cool to have other parts, not necessary, but could be interesting.
Already seen something very similar in a comix from the artist Juan Gimenez in the '80s. The idea of destroying machines self repairing and attacking even when everything is destroyed is quite common in SF. Having told so, the short clip is really well done, and could be the starting of a movie, maybe with some explorers arriving in the planet ad facing a situation like this.
Fun facts: the enemy interceptor jet had its nose cone ripped off, which explains its instablilty the non-sentient AI who keeps bombing the ruins over and over may be a metaphor of how humanity's hatred keeps going on and on the fact that the AI plane ejected the pilot and then crashed is an metaphor of the "perfect soldier" concept: senseless, heartless, fearless about death and willing to sacrifice itself to protect its superiors (in this case, the dead pilot) And the ominous-yet-high-tech looking bomber might be symbolizing how much effort and technology we create to kill ourselves
Would like to see you expand this great animation to 30 minutes or longer, superb storyline, with a fell of the end, but not how a person may think. Well done indeed.
This is the most realistic scenario for AI wiping us all out. That it is not doing it out of malice or because it became selfaware but doing so to fulfill its purpose or programming. An AI continuing a set goal past the destruction of human civilization is an alarmingly realistic scenario.
I have a cool idea for a D&D adventure based on this. A long time ago, two powerful mages fought for reasons long forgotten. After countless clashes, they both began building construct armies to fight by their side. These constructs wiped each other out, so they began working on self-repairing constructs, and instructed them to flee when badly damaged or outmatched and return to base for repair by other automated systems. Finally, after years of back-and forth, the two mages clashed again in the skies as their soulless armies fought below. Eventually, one of them got the upper hand, but in his spite the other closed the distance and cast an antimagic field, negating both of their ability to fly. They plummetted to their death, locked together and trying to strangle each other with bare hands. But they never gave their machine armies a command to stop, so to this day they sally forth every day to skirmish with one another, retreating if they face destruction. And if the party doesn't find a way to shut them all down, that's what they're going to continue doing as long as the world turns.
So both Mages fall into their death while havent giving order for the self construct armies to stop attacking the opponent sides?? And What kind of self construct armies it would be?? Golems?? Stone golems?? Iron golems?? Treant and walking tree armies?? Undead zombie armies??
@@benayakeenanhutagalung9798 Yeah, golems. I originally had this idea for 3.5, so I was thinking that each base would have a set of magic items which deal the different kinds of damage which heal each golem type.
It’s really just a mistranslation from Russian but the context is the bomber detected an unknown aircraft that’s not supposed to within the area. It tried to request an IFF response and got an one that’s not registered as friendly. It requested a response from the pilot as it could be a captured aircraft used to infiltrate the enemy but as the fighter pilot is dead and didn’t respond, the bomber automatically determined it’s a hostile plane
An interesting point I just noticed on a rewatch, during the scene where you see the new mushroom clouds rising, you can see the lines/patterns of the previous detonations that have happened.
and now we're seeing this concept imminently about to be expressed as a game: The Forever Winter
Hello yea
I have the game wishlisted
Yaaaaay
@@Stonehawk it’s so sad the game did not turn out to be as amazing as I thought it would be
This is probably the most unique take I've seen on AI. Instead of destroying us, or us finding a sense of harmony. The machines we create only continue to carry out the will of their long dead masters incapable of understanding why we fought or why it's pointless to keep going.
It's the whole Nier Automata concept as well. I highly recommend this game if you haven't tried it.

Peoples obsession with automation. A very interesting perspective. Machines will outlive humans, this is a good sneak peak of what beyond.
They won't last long.
You can only defer maintenance so long, and fuel, not to mention ammo, is even harder to replace.
Praise the omnissiah
When all are dead, our technology is left to carry out our menial tasks. The fighter, the bomber, and the dead city are all beautiful metaphors...
slaves to Gods that destroyed themselves.
The bomber is not only a beautiful metaphor, but it is beautiful itself. I mean the design, not the purpose, of course...
Not really theres nothing indicating that any of these machines are being repaired. Even this automated stuff will succumb to nature again.
@@moguldamongrel3054 when did anyone say they were being repaired?

This is a perfect example of creepy, majestic, and overall realistic
This is still an amazing piece after all these years.
It's scary to think this may one day become a reality, that is if people ever get brave enough to let the AI pull the trigger
AI smartest than humans, who started war's
I heard someone talk about a simulation where they were testing the capabilities of AI to effectively destroy military targets. Supposedly a basic point system was put in place to reward the AI for successfully destroying a target. But then the AI didn't stop. And then it destroyed the radio tower sending it commands. And then it destroyed the command centre giving those commands. Pretty scary.
@@EEE-1409 we need to agree to cause the largest uproar possible if the military ever honestly thinks about using AI.
@@Noah-j3x4n Actually though. If Terminator has taught us anything, do not let AI have access to military equipment at all costs!
Is this 9 years old? Magnificent, so much potential in high quality stories
Honestly incredible work. All i have to say as someone who doesnt do cgi stuff is that you should probally make the explosion mushroom clouds rise much slower to make it a bit more realistic.
...Господи, как же хочется какого-то продолжения. Это всё так идеально. Только представьте какой-то полнометражный фильм, где выжившие после войны люди будут жить в мире, где автоматические машины всё ещё исполняют свой долг. Да даже хорошую видеоигру можно сделать с таким сюжетом
Даже если выживут всего двое. один из них. всё равно будет начальником. а второй - подчинённым. так устроен человек... А дальше по известному кругу.
@@sergeysuyarov784 конфликты среди людей можно сделать одной из составляющих сюжета. Я считаю, что можно создать шедевр, если взять за основу вселенную, которую показали в видеоролике

That was masterfully efficient storytelling. In less than 2 minutes I was sold on this world.
I love that idea of an automatized warfare that continues even after every human involved are long gone.
It's so delightfully dystopian and dark.
I love this animation.... So sad...
Maksym Bedynski the really sad thing is with the way the worlds going this could be a reality for humanity):
Please tell me I'm not the only one getting a sort of 9 vibe from this?
nope
same
Jul 'Mdama defiantly no!
was so excited for that movie....9 was one of the worst movies ever
Jul 'Mdama That movie scared the absolute shit shot out of me as a kid.
I guess this gives a new meaning to -Put sunglasses on- a skeleton crew.
reminds me of a gag in the online comic "order of the stick" where someone was preparing to attack a place with "a skeleton crew" and expected to encounter walking skeletons...
"what? look at the world we live in. it was a reasonable assumption."
@@syaondri haha
Cue "The Who"
YEEEAAAAHHH
This is such good story writing, if this was a movie I would pay to watch it, I wish it was
Damn, looks more interesting than anything Hollywood is making today.
I would really love if we could get more backstory or like a prequel to this
This is a prequel to Last Day of War, also by the creator Dima Fedotov
Just imagine a nuclear powered plane like this flying for years through the clouds...
I don't know what's more terrifying. the fact that humanity extinguished itself.... or the fact that the computers don't even know enough to realize we did
There's just something morbidly fascinating about the concept of a dead world.
Awesome video and awesome concept, but the one thing that bothered me were the bombs. They were cluster bombs of some sort, but there were only 4 big explosions like from 4 normal bombs, but not hundreds of smaller explosions as I expected after seeing the big bomb scatter into many smaller bombs.
Bombs!
Could be explosive gas bomb. Gas is released in canisters and then ignited. This was tested but I don't know if it was ever deployed.
See the small bomb shell with grass at the end? There was only 4 major explosions maybe because those small shells contain no explosives. The explosions maybe only caused by the bigger bomb shells.
Walter Crockett It's one of the most powerful non-nuclear weapons, as it creates a strong vacuum followed immediately by an even more effective explosion.
There are a few real nukes , the rest are decoys to create so much of a target rich environment the real one will be easily missed
Congratulations to Mr. Fedotov. Amazing job!
This video and the other by the same dude "the last war" remind me a lot of a story on a heavy metal magazine I read long ago, there was this tank, beeping of an enemy approach, then it auto loaded it's cannons and aimed at the enemy who was a bird. the tank's crew was long dead and it was just the broken machine still trying to wage war even though everything around it was dead.
Those are my favorite heavy metal stories, the ones like you described
What is it called?
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I swear the sound effects for that fighter's engine that tried to intercept the bomber was taken from an Avro Vulcan
Once you've heard the roar of four Rolls Royce Olympus engines you can't unhear them.
For years I have wanted to see more of that world.
They should just have a movie about only the robots, how they all still continued to do their duty even though all of their creators perished, slowly deteriorating and dying off, one by one
There is something chilling about this short: A war continuing forever because of mindless AIs still carrying out their functions and even replacing the long-dead human soldiers because they literally have no other purpose than to continue the war until victory... But there is *no-one* left to win or to lose.
I know this will get buried in the comments but my father passed away 2 months ago to the day and this was one of his favorite videos on the internet. Rest in Piece Big Man.
Sorry to hear that
I'm sorry to hear that

My condolences
I just love how much symbolism there can be in a patch of grass growing out of the concrete.
So eerie , yet the concept is almost believable of a possible future.
a high quality war machine still being able to do its job for a long time
1:53 I think that the eerie silence/quiet humming gives the nukes a better effect. Much more creepy than a simple boom.
twitchyflash333 high grade Nukes don't make a boom noise anyway, so in a way this animation is realistic
@@TheMlgFox false
Awesome, Humanity have gone extinct, the AI's continue the war
The ai continues what we where too dumb to prevent
yeah , we are dumb stinky idiots who destroyed themselves
Some how this feels like every sci-fi RTS game I've ever played. All the weapons were robots fighting it out, and there were no civilians anywhere to be found.
I saw this video a few years ago and somehow remembered it wrong, I thought that both airplanes had run out of bullets so the cannons tracked each other and clicked but they strafed past and ignored each other after that. I really like the design of the bomber.
War, War never changes.
+Team Squeaky Those are wise words, my friend.

+wootuser Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Perhaps a video on the backstory? Knowing the details of the society that create these machines would be great
I for one would like to compliment the construction of those vehicles. Going for years afterward on automation, that is quaility craftsmanship
I love the retro-futuristic look...
Will somebody just give Dima a shit load of money so he can make a full movie? Please! He is too skilled not to.
This really has a cold war yet futuristic feel to it
SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON

ruben vong long since the humans perished, the spoopy spary skeletons will carry out their war efforts.
Kind of like the Grim Reaper.

Man this reboot of Screamers looks effin' hardcore.
from the short cgi on the dust channel, the last day of war. wonderfully done.
There have been similar ideas in sci-fi literature before, but this is very well done as a short film. It would be cool to have other parts, not necessary, but could be interesting.
1:27 looks like a video game loading screen.
Already seen something very similar in a comix from the artist Juan Gimenez in the '80s. The idea of destroying machines self repairing and attacking even when everything is destroyed is quite common in SF. Having told so, the short clip is really well done, and could be the starting of a movie, maybe with some explorers arriving in the planet ad facing a situation like this.
looks like Sky Soldier video game from 1988
LIIIINK
is that metabaron??
Goodbye Soldier...
I would love to see more like this,,, maybe even a continuation of this story🎉
Fun facts:
the enemy interceptor jet had its nose cone ripped off, which explains its instablilty
the non-sentient AI who keeps bombing the ruins over and over may be a metaphor of how humanity's hatred keeps going on and on
the fact that the AI plane ejected the pilot and then crashed is an metaphor of the "perfect soldier" concept: senseless, heartless, fearless about death and willing to sacrifice itself to protect its superiors (in this case, the dead pilot)
And the ominous-yet-high-tech looking bomber might be symbolizing how much effort and technology we create to kill ourselves
gg den gelenler 😂btw müthiş bir animasyon
Would like to see you expand this great animation to 30 minutes or longer, superb storyline, with a fell of the end, but not how a person may think. Well done indeed.
This is the most realistic scenario for AI wiping us all out. That it is not doing it out of malice or because it became selfaware but doing so to fulfill its purpose or programming.
An AI continuing a set goal past the destruction of human civilization is an alarmingly realistic scenario.
@@Sohave скорее нас уничтожит капитализм. Уже уничтожает.
I keep watching this. These guys are above genius level in their detail
Really good work, beautiful devastation.
The scene at 1:35 reminded me of Biomega.
Also: cool concept of the AI keeping on fighting, even though the humans who gave that order are long gone.
I have a cool idea for a D&D adventure based on this. A long time ago, two powerful mages fought for reasons long forgotten. After countless clashes, they both began building construct armies to fight by their side. These constructs wiped each other out, so they began working on self-repairing constructs, and instructed them to flee when badly damaged or outmatched and return to base for repair by other automated systems. Finally, after years of back-and forth, the two mages clashed again in the skies as their soulless armies fought below. Eventually, one of them got the upper hand, but in his spite the other closed the distance and cast an antimagic field, negating both of their ability to fly. They plummetted to their death, locked together and trying to strangle each other with bare hands.
But they never gave their machine armies a command to stop, so to this day they sally forth every day to skirmish with one another, retreating if they face destruction. And if the party doesn't find a way to shut them all down, that's what they're going to continue doing as long as the world turns.
So both Mages fall into their death while havent giving order for the self construct armies to stop attacking the opponent sides?? And What kind of self construct armies it would be?? Golems?? Stone golems?? Iron golems?? Treant and walking tree armies?? Undead zombie armies??
@@benayakeenanhutagalung9798 Yeah, golems. I originally had this idea for 3.5, so I was thinking that each base would have a set of magic items which deal the different kinds of damage which heal each golem type.
@@stevenneiman9789 ok now this is awesome, this needs to happen
Somehow this reminds me of that short in Heavy Metal

Very well done! It's sad that this may become a reality one day
Oh boy does this film now scare me a lot more now as it did just a few years ago
A backdrop for more dystopian adventures
Idk about anyone else but I'm flipin in love with these aircraft, beautiful
I like how the bomber first thought the fighter was a friendly alien and then realized it was an enemy
It’s really just a mistranslation from Russian but the context is the bomber detected an unknown aircraft that’s not supposed to within the area. It tried to request an IFF response and got an one that’s not registered as friendly. It requested a response from the pilot as it could be a captured aircraft used to infiltrate the enemy but as the fighter pilot is dead and didn’t respond, the bomber automatically determined it’s a hostile plane
An interesting point I just noticed on a rewatch, during the scene where you see the new mushroom clouds rising, you can see the lines/patterns of the previous detonations that have happened.
After every War there is dangerous legacy ... No matter in which World ...
