      Did you see the video in which the pilot was saved by the Auto-GCAS .. ?
      PIlot passes out and drops 11,000 feet and picks up 270 MPH ... in 11 seconds! Search that phrase; you'll see it. It was INSANE.
      In the 4th quadrant of a loop ... (in a citabria) ... We pulled 6.5 Gs for about 2-3 seconds (it showed the max acceleration in some gauge) ... That's the totality of 'high G's I've felt in my life.
      Once straight & level ... I felt immediately TIRED (for over a DAY) ... and nauseous (like I had to concentrate to not vomit). It was SO quick ! In turns at 3G -- 4G ... it's _heavy_ ... but it's nothing like 6.5 was.
      My cone of vision narrowed ...
      The image was "less vibrant" - monochrome ... and ...
      MY LOWER LIP _FELL DOWN_ -- I had to CONSCIOUSLY 'lift' my lip to shut my mouth.
      People talk about "9 Gs this and 8-G limit ... blah blah blah. 6 - 7 is MORE than enough!

      @@ytpadux If you watch centrifuge training (what astronauts and fighter pilots have to do in order to sustain much higher than normal G-force without passing out), breathing like this is part of the training. The "weight" of the G-Force compresses you ribs onto your lungs, making inhaling after exhaling extremely difficult. If an average person was subjected to this, they would 100% pass out. And losing consciousness is not something you want to do when flying at 1500MPH with SAMs locked onto you.

    - At approximately 3:16, you can hear Tullia under duress, calling out, “Stroke 3 defending SA-2” as the aircraft can be seen banking left. The SA-2 Guideline is the NATO reporting name for the Soviet S-75 Dvina high-altitude air defense system, which leverages radar to guide its missiles to their targets.
    - At approximately 3:44 you can hear one of the pilots say “jettisoned, egressing.” Tullia and some other pilots jettisoned their external fuel tanks to reduce the weight of the aircraft and increase their ability to maneuver. This was a risky move, as without those external tanks, Tullia couldn’t be sure he’d have enough fuel to make it back.
    - By 3:50, Tulia’s Stroke 3 has already managed to make two inbound surface-to-air missiles miss.
    - At 4:36 you can hear another pilot shout “Stroke 3 come on! Stroke 3 check right, break right! Stroke 3 break right!” as he sees the third missile fired at Tullia’s aircraft.
    - At 4:52 you can hear pilots say, “someone got hit,” and “Stroke 4 got hit” as another F-16 is hit by a missile. After, you can hear pilots with increasing stress in their voices calling out, “Stroke 4 status?” to check on their downed friend, but by then, he is unable to respond.
    - At 5:22 you can see the aircraft making aggressive turns to try to avoid being hit by an incoming SAM.
    - At 5:32 you can hear a pilot say, “second one, break” telling Stroke 3 to evade as another missile closes in. After Tullia dodges it, you can hear someone say, “that’s two” meaning he dodged both inbound missiles. At that point, Tullia has already dodged four SAMs.
    - At 5:58 you can hear a pilot call out, “Another SAM launch, another SAM launch same location!”
    - At 6:02 you can see the contrails from multiple SAMs that had been recently launched.
    - At 6:14 you can hear Tullia call out, “Oh shiiiii…” as a SAM comes very close to hitting his aircraft (Tullia would later report that the missile flew by at such close range, he could hear the rocket motor burning)
    - At 6:20 you can hear labored breathing as Tullia calls out, “Stroke 3 defending” under heavy Gs. The G indicator suggests he’s pulled more than 6 Gs.
    - At 6:38 you can hear pilots asking aloud, “Stroke 3 are you still there?”
    - At 6:53, Tullia responds, “Stroke 3 is headed south.”
    - At 6:59 you see the aircraft go inverted as Tullia once again calls out, “Stroke 3 defending 6” as yet another SAM flies his way. That “6” indicated an SA-6, or Soviet 2K12 “Kub” - which is a more capable weapon system than the SA-2’s fired earlier. His breathing is becoming increasingly labored by this time. He’s now pushing 6.5 Gs.
    - Shortly after that, Stroke 3 is able to make it out of the fight.

    The heavy breathing technique, with the suits they wore, dramatically increases their G-force tolerance. Instead of six g's, they can peak out at NINE g's without blacking out. Damned impressive. This technique forces blood up into their neck and head, by hard constricting the abdomen.

    • @Partsnotshown
      @Partsnotshown 4 роки тому +630

      Kyle Sky When you enter the FEBA you are no longer protected by distance from the enemy. The pilot begins to fence in and conduct his Sead or Cap. I believe this mission was a two ship mission meaning there were multiple fighters in the air. The wing man calling for stroke 1 was in engaged by surface to air missiles. They all were. Whenever the pilot calls out stroke 3 you’re on your own, that means he can longer fly on his wing and defend him… At that point it was every man for himself because they were all being engaged by surface to air missile‘s. It’s just incredible because during this time they were doing so many things that have to be done in order to stay alive; paying attention their altitude, making sure you’re maneuvering the aircraft utilizing aggressive ACM in order to gain energy so that you can defeat the incoming missiles that you can’t even see coming, unless you happen to see their ploom. Utilizing impeccable S.A. ... Amazing how the pilots do all this while pulling extremely hard G’s 10x His/her own body weight and pumping chaff at 500 miles per hour while their RWR is 🚨 buzzing alerting them death is coming.

      Just a tip for anyone out there: If you hardly ever answer calls from numbers you don't know or recognize, or if you don't really care, go into your phones call settings, and change to "allow calls from contact's only". This means your phone wont ring unless it's someone you have specifically put in as a contact. If it's not a contact, they can leave a message if it's important.
      Depending on what type of phone you have, the call still pops up (like if you're watching UA-cam or browsing the web), but you won't hear it ring at all. My phone used to ring so many times a day from spammers and scammer's, but it hardly ever goes off now, and when it does, its either friends or family, specifically.
      Edit: And if you need help finding this option, just google "allow calls from contact's only" and it will walk you through it. You can even add your phone model in the search, and it may give you exact detailed instructions if you need em.

    Holy cow. Most people might not be able to tell from the camera, but that guy is flying some EXTREME maneuvering to avoid all of those SAM launches. Nobody shy of an extremely well trained and experienced expert could do this.

      It's not the lungs that matter, it's the heart and arteries. Gotta keep that blood going to the old noggin. Breathing itself isn't too difficult. If you've ever held your breath and increased pressure in your head to make your face go beet red, that's kind of what the pilot is doing over and over again during maneuvers.

      The guy most likely jettisoned as soon as he was being tracked by so many missiles. At that point, drag would he greatly reduced. He was most likely pulling 7-8Gs.

      In the 4th quadrant of a loop ... (in a citabria) ... We pulled 6.5 Gs for about 2-3 seconds (it showed the max acceleration in some gauge) ... That's the totality of 'high G's I've felt in my life.
      Once straight & level ... I felt immediately TIRED (for over a DAY) ... and nauseous (like I had to concentrate to not vomit). It was SO quick ! In turns at 3G -- 4G ... it's _heavy_ ... but it's nothing like 6.5 was.
      My cone of vision narrowed ...
      The image was "less vibrant" - monochrome ... and ...
      MY LOWER LIP _FELL DOWN_ -- I had to CONSCIOUSLY 'lift' my lip to shut my mouth.
      People talk about "9 Gs this and 8-G limit ... blah blah blah. 6 - 7 is MORE than enough!

    Flight recorder counted almost 13G's of force, several times i might add, one of which peaked for more than 6 seconds. If you dont understand what that means, go google what 6 Gs does to the normal person. This guy literally did the impossible, on top of something nearly impossible then did it 6 times, in a row whilst communicating, fighting to keep conscious, fighting to get a breath, while turning within a few hundredths of a second before that missile impacts
