It's actually Russian R-37M air to air missile if you compare size, weight, speed, warhead weight,ect. but used for air to ground fighting. And they have it since the 1980.s😂

Similar to the Mach 5+ capable AIM-54C "Phoenix", produced by the US beginning in the mid 1970's, and which succeeded the earlier Mach 4+ AIM-54A/B produced beginning in the mid 1960's, though the range of the R-37M "Axehead" exceeds that of both the AIM-54A/B and AIM-54C.
I never really put much thought into ŕockets and bombs! Very interesting, a lot of knowledge packed into 12Min Video! I will need to listen to certain passages again to try and comprehend the more complicated details!🤔😊
In the future there will be less planes and more rockets and drones these are the fighter jets of the future and they dont cost over a billion dollars each plus if they wanted they could have all the stealth of the best jets out there
Cheeks are part of the lift body, at such speeds it provides enough lift to increase range

Anduril is coming up with a cheaper JASSM too, called Barracuda (a lot of ocean life analogies going on here)
Maybe you're right. America is coming to term with the idea that cost effectiveness and scalability is a quality on its own
Not a cheaper JASSM, it's not even on the same class, only thing similar is the range, 100lbs warhead for a 500nm weapon is comical while being only 30 percent cheaper.
@@kermittoad I think you could argue that anything outside of 2000 lb for an air launch munition would likely only result in a mission kill. And I say that because the quicksink uses a GBU-31 jdam.
Maybe that's the point, a 1000-lb warhead is overkill for a mission kill. and thus you can save money...?
Fast fish are bad ass. If you see a missile named Jellyfish, I would avoid it. LOL
@@PW060284 Systems like SDB and from anduril themselves barracuda with less range and warhead employed by a LO platform is cheaper. everybody have an F-35 in respectable numbers with operating costs per hour decreasing every year, about $35k in 2024. Supply chain issues for additional parts that's currently being resolved will result in that mission readiness surge F-35 operators are desperately waiting for, 75-80 percent FMC rate with those weapon loadouts is the most affordable and sustainable thing you'll get.
@@PW060284 that's a good point, the only use for these i can envision is mass raids against double digit SAMs without expending JASSM stockpiles, might be a good idea in the pacific, it needs to be a bit cheaper than 30 percent tho, if economy of scale comes into play if large orders are placed, then yeah.
The defence giants are threatened by newer entrants like Anduril with their low cost large scale Baracuda family and are scrambling for systems with similar low cost and easily scalable solutions!

I think that Ukraine war has highlighted the need of having a high production rate for missiles for ground targets with low probability of interception.
Americans have to adapt.
There's so much analysis and informations in your videos that after only 10 min I feel like I've been watching a 1 hour video ! Thanks a lot!
Did millennium just beat sandboxx to a weapons manufacturing story?
First read about in on "The War Zone" website a couple of months ago when Lockheed PR announced it.
Pretty sure I first learned about it on Sandboxx. It was unveiled in April but wasn't it kinda known before that? It was a proposal for the SiAW program.
Nice Technical breakdown
Excellent.
being an american, i appreciate the secondary standard being shown... thank you.
That paint job could fit on a Lambo.
Probably more expensive
One quetion:so what available propoltion system do u think they could use for this missile since they dont have one yet,and another sub topic:people(westerners)ague that the kinzhal is not hypersonic because it doesnt have a scram jet engine,so what would u call this missile?
Thank you Sir
Love your analysis and the occasional comedy or flubs 5:03 😂😂
Great, they'll probably manufacture two a year for $2 billion each 🤦🏼♀️
My guess is that Lockheed knew they would never beat a cheaper Northrop grumman aargm based SIAW. So they just used the funding money do their own project that only nominally met requirements. I respect their shenanigans and hope someone funds it. Putting a booster on this would make a decent ship based hypersonic weapon.
This little gem is the beginning of something.
I don't know why it bothers me so much, but why do so many creators not use proper syntax when formulating a question? (Why so many creators don't use proper syntax? Sorry, couldn't help myself.) It should be either "Why the MAKO Missile is Extremely Important" without the question mark, or "Why is the MAKO Missile Extremely Important?"
Noted!
I would love to see a video about the kinzhal there's no many detailed and serious videos about it
I watched a deep dive about 6 months ago
Reminds me of the old AGM-69 SRAM.
Similar mission profile, perhaps? Haven't had anything beyond slow, non-stealthy (admittedly long-legged) cruise missiles since the 80s.
Hypersonic SRAM-3.
The physics package is about right for nominal 2-10KT (AGM-69 was 170KT) variable head, it likely has similar ablative RAM and the fact that it has roughly the same carriage box as a B61-12 makes it easy to transfer across to other (strategic) programs which might have a bit of a problem justifying a new program start on something cancelled under START but which typically have funding and are desperately in need of a nuclear SEAD weapon to penetrate behind (AGM-69 was a 15nm lolo, 30nm medium and 70nm high altitude profile, hypersonics should add 50% to these numbers...).
Fat fuselage (13.3" vs. 11.5") is just enough for the implosive detonator ring and the ASAS derived, high-impulse, rocket while the separate strongback gives you radiation free cable routing outside rather than through the warhead envelope as the AGM-88G (SIAW winner) deals with.
'Cheek Strakes' may be for optically flat sensor window as GPS denied radar map offset aimpoint steering but could equally be part of a lifting body/twist to steer setup, like the ASALM or Have Dash, or serve as part of a lift compensation effort for what is likely a heavy frontend physics+power+CNS suite.
If the missile is seriously sub-hypersonic after burnout, then an alternate method of evasive terminals may be required for penetration assurance.
We cancelled the AGM-131 and 131T, which was a major mistake as the Soviet era Russians did not ditch the AS-16 Kickback equivalent. Stealth may be superfluous in an era of dawning satwacs/SBR capabilities and subsonic penetrators should not come anywhere near the 10-15nm standoff of the 'nuclear JDAM' B61-12 release envelope.
LRSO will eventually give the bombers back an effective long stick replacement for the AGM-86, but for F-35, with the theater nuclear mission, reliance on free fall munitions is a really bad joke. You don't go into the heart of a heavy frontal IAMDS, looking to drop free-fall ballistic sunshine.
I enjoyed your video thank you.
Does it have a Customer ?. I dont think there have been any public trials yet as well.
How are the Sarmat tests going?
Better then Trident or Minuteman obviously.
Did u get your reply😂
Sarmat carries several expensive Avangard HGV missiles(It's fly great on their own, but Russians pushed them into Sarmat).
Probably problem is in testing Sarmat software.
@@avadhutagita3741 they did test the carrier some years back and got a good resort but the recent test they did,no one can confirm what they really tested for,all info are speculations,it could be for an impact testing or a different load.

Простите, а ф35, который не может лететь на сверхзвуке 1.3 больше пары минут ее запустить то сможет? Или она у него выпадать из отсека будет, а дальше сама?
Для кинжала целый миг31, который и высоко летит и очень быстро
That extra 10% of propellant and small warhead mass makes a huge difference in burn out velocity.
Imagine having to make pathetic missiles because you are too stubborn to change your awful design and have a bigger weapon bay. I forgot; don't need to imagine it, fail35 and aim260 already do that.
The starting speed is very important, if you cannot give the rocket high speed and altitude because your carrier is f35, not mig31, then you will have to make the rocket much bigger to compensate this
Suddenly, everything is Hypersonic, test, never trust, especially with Lockheed 😢😢😢
Could it not have a Dual Pulse solid motor to ensure hypersonic speed in final stage of penetration?
No matter by the time America comes up with a hypersonic anything, the Russians and Chinese will be using Laser and Charged Ion, zero time of flight Antiaircraft weapons 😂😂😂
No. There's just not enough room in the F35 weapons bay for the fuel requirement to make a weapon hypersonic in the terminal phase.
Cheek Fin theory:
At around Mach 5, the surface of an aircraft can become charged by ionized molecules. The fins could be a method of maintaining a signal connection by reaching an antenna out of the plasma?
Another theory:
Nasa is working on reentry craft which can use electromagnets to manipulate the plasma formed in order to control the trajectory instead of relying in parabolic calculations and hope. The fins could use magnetism to influence the flight path of the missile, or control the front of. The center of gravity and pressure.
Just a guess by a numbskull.
Sounds smart to me ….they may also be air-strakes for aero like on an F18?👊
For the age question, Otis is once incorrect.
He failed to account for the new age tax, so if it is 56, you will after having paid a couple of years in age tax, your age ends up being 20...
Концептуально это, насколько можно понять, достаточно компактная "аэробаллоистическая" ракета, что-то вроде Х-15, AGM-69, ну или куда более крупного и дальнобойного "Кинжала". Действительно очень интересный и опасный тип боеприпасов (учитывая что теперь мы точно знаем, что ни одна современная система ПВО не дает надёжной защиты от массированных ударов пободным оружием, а зачастую даже от ударов одиночными ракетами).
Судя по всему появление россицского "кинжала" вновь вернуло интерес к данному типу боеприпасов (Китай уже сделал аналоги, Израиль представил воздушный вариант LORA) + есть информация по малогабаритной "гиперзвуковой" ракете для су-57 (правда не ясно один ли это проект и какой тип ракеты будет, например аналогичная твердотопливная "аэробаллистическая" или "крылатая" с прямоточным двигателем).
Также в контексте ваших западных разработок было бы интересно посмотреть на "воздушную" версию ракеты PRSM, учитывая ее относительную компактность и высокую дальность на ф-15 она бы смотрелась очень уместно.

Please make an OTIS app so i can have his humour all the time
10:02 Americans usually prefer _what?_ and stealth?
What kind of targets is the Mako supposed to destroy with this tiny warhead!?
Wait for the Gremlin.....
If this missile is cheap and easy to produce, I imagine the project will be buried. It's just not how the US MOD works. Hopefully the design finds it's way to country willing to produce it.
a cheap US missile?😂 easy to produce? not likely. easy, cheap or effective, pick any 2.
That's a myth, take JASSM-ER for reference, recent sale to Japan at $100M for 50 live missiles+captive training missile+integration+spare parts+ training, that's under $2M for arguably the most advanced air to ground VLO cruise missile and the USAF buys it cheaper, economy at scale at play since there's about 4000 of them made so far, 540 a year.
@@kermittoad I get your argument of economy of scale, but the cheaper and easier the product, the less money the company makes. They don't get the money for R&D from the government that they claim they need and the profits from sales.
If it was cheap and easy, they'd sell what was needed and the production line would close.
@@Graeme-r2f they're closing the line when the 7000 target is reached, that's in 5-6 years, government burying something when it gets cheaper? Which systems did that happen to?
They used to say hypersonic missiles were all hype. Yet now they play catch up😅
They can only play catch up with themselves because they are ahead
@@m.a3914indeed they are ahead
@@alispeed5095 USA does not have an equivalent to the higher end models of Iskander, nor does it have a short range Hypersonic missile either.
The one thing the Russians put more R&D and effort into, is missiles, as it is their doctrine and defense measure. USA spends more money everywhere else, but they certainly do not beat Russian missile tech, because it is the best and proven by the fielded and war tested capabilities they have demonstrated, regardless of what the nato nut swingers will cope and seethe about.
Hypersonic aren't hype, russian "hypersonics" are. Mounting icbms to incredibly fast aircraft then launching at top speed does not make a hypersonic weapon. There is a reason the developer of kinzal got arrested a week after Russia failed to knock out patriot with 16 of them.
@@N4CR oh l know, l simply didnt want to argue with the other guy hence my agreement. Its a "sure dude..." kind of comment. Dude thinks the US is the peak of missile tech. Who is gonna waste time correcting such opinions?
Which MIC designed Otis?🤔
Small and cheap in american terms is probably still more expensive than the competition, which means this probably will be a select use, case by case, missile, fielded in smaller numbers.
Where as Kinzhal and Zircons are seen flying by the dozens daily at 3+ mach faster than the MAKO can peak in theory.
The US weapons also work unlike the competition

@@MilitaryTechNerd006 And it is right that you sure, because don't need to be a master to understand little about aerodynamics. This missile is almost full copy of Russian R-37M(weight, dimensions). Today "hypersonic" means a missile capable of moving in term "fast hypersonic" (10mach and higher).
A missile of this shape of tail isn't capable of moving faster than 5mach. Read little more about powers acting on missile at different hypersonic speeds and where exactly it's directed.
UPD: I read little more about Mako and found that, Yes! they're planning speed of 5 Mach and if they can, a little more.

Off the shelf alas nowadays also means it's not going to be the most reliable or jamming resistant, I'm afraid. Unless there will be a program aimed at correcting that which, considering the USA, can easily happen. Just not after a bunch of these missiles fail to live up to their hype.

I read information about this rocket in the comments under another video.

Interesting and somewhat disturbing content here very well done ... .it would seem the Americans have come to believe a huge war 8s very close now and are not working on game changing technology instead they are leveraging what they have available and instead combining it in cheap easy 2 mass manufacture combinations.... After all if there is a war in 3 years there will be no new ships or aircraft development we have what we have all we can do is ramp up pilot training spare part and ammunition procurement and start a massive training programme.....
Now ask yourself what is Europe doing???
Answer... nothing....

Surprised the US hasn't yet caught up with Hypersonic technology but even if the MAKO works it seems underwhelming given it will be an expensive , presumably, precise short range weapon with a very small warhead. In other words an awful lot of them would be needed to have an affect on the battlefield that can be done by cheaper alternatives. Plus you have to depend on stealth working in the medium to long term. But given the US only goes to war with third rate opponents I suppose that's mute.
The US is pretty much the top dog in hypersonic tech. They have been in the field for longer, they invested the most money and they were pretty interested in such technologies all the way back in the 80s. In fact, the Pershing 2 is what Iskander... aaaa sorry, Kinzhal is today. The Americans had such systems in the 80s. Not to mention that the US is the only country in the world that is known for, with factual and undisputed evidence, being able to have maneuverable systems, moving at hypersonic speeds.
@@m.a3914what's the American equivalent of Zirkon?
@@m.a3914 it was huge (~10x larger) medium range ballitstic missile and nuclear warhead carrier (no need for accuracy). Quite different
@@m.a3914 Not modern hypersonics that can maneuver.
You don’t need a lot of them I think.
I mean, if the Moskva can be sunk with just two mediocre Neptune missiles, there’s no chance another ship in say, the Russian Navy, would be able to counter around 5 of these approaching at hypersonic speeds. Better, more modern ships in the Chinese navy would probably require more care though. Plus, even if the warhead’s small, the US has demonstrated its precision accuracy in a number of systems and it’s not too speculative to assume that this missile can aim for a ship’s magazine… which would devastate any ship.
The Americans are always playing catch-up.
Hard to say that. The Americans started investing in hypersonic technologies in the mid-50s. By the 1980s, they already had the Pershing 2 which is a hypersonic weapon that flies low in the atmosphere. At the end of the day, it is really about doctrine. The US Army already has an operational hypersonic weapon that is extremely fast with a long range. There are many US projects from the Army, Navy, and the USAF for the development of such systems too. They also have a communicational advantage over Russia and China with Starlink so they actually have advanced hypersonic cruise missiles.

Yanks learning from Ukraine where cheap and mass produced tools are taking out expensive hardware.
The US has many projects for hypersonics, many of which are similar. If they didn't want the missile, they probably had a better alternative. The US military won't agree with a missile similar to Kinzhal or a ballistic missile moving in the atmo. They already had such a missile 40+ years ago. They want something that actually maneuvers

It's pretty annoying that having to reduce scale and weight of armaments in order to fit in to the new stealthy aircrafts.
It will be funny if radar and guidance technologies make a rapid advances and stealth become irrelevant faster than we thought 😂 all those billions
Radars have theoretical limits like signal to noise ratio. So stealth is pretty reliable unlike high velocity.

Greetings. Until we know the maneuverability of the MAKO missile and whether it can engage moving targets on the surface and in the air, we will not have a clear idea of its capabilities.
