All-time ace of aces Erich Hartmann strongly opposed the F-104's adoption by West Germany's air force. His outspoken criticism was unpopular with his superiors, and he was forced into early retirement in 1970. I wonder if he ever commented about the bribes scandal when it came to light.

Electronic Warfare is shooting out a fuckton of signals on a fuckload of frequencies that are commonly used by radar and radios to confuse them AKA "Jamming". Also the us has had the ability to send out signals from a missile size drone that make it show up as a full-sized aircraft on radar we used these in the gulf war.

We still use the ones attached to aircraft, the f35 and f22 have retractable ones that help to confuse systems

46:42 I have got a pal, who is EW specialist for last 6 years. He gave me darn 3 hours long exposition what is electric warfare is, how it works and why it is important. Long story short, it is about finding, intercepting and/or jamming enemy’s signals. And this is not just radio-/satellite communications, but also making certain places “invisible” for high precision munitions (which working with GPS navigation). EW can be mobile (truck, armoured vehicle, boat, aircraft or drone) or stationary station, that constantly jamming unauthorised signals. Or do exact opposite for enemy’s communications with special missiles and bombs, that designed to find same stations and destroy them.

40:50 Digitising all that information from paper documents isn't trivial just because of the sheer volume, you'd need a lot of people to digitise it in anything resembling a timely manner. And then we get to the issue of digital storage, offsite backups and internet bandwidth for serving this data. Most of these archives are so underfunded they have to choose between keeping the lights on and keeping the air conditioning on (and the air conditioning is very important for the storage conditions of paper). It would be cool, sure, but you'd have to convince politicians to give that budget to something that boring.
@saintcynicism26548 ай бұрын
Adding in here from (limited) experience: A lot of archives *are* working on digitization projects (including the university I attended, despite not being one of the more well-known or funded ones even within the state), but it's important to remember that it involves an extreme amount of time, a considerable amount of money, and a not-insignificant amount of manpower resources. You need someone to scan everything in, you need someone to then properly categorize and label it so it can be found and accessed, and they need to do this shit one page at a time. Add to this additional costs associated with creating and maintaining a digital database, plus the time needed to go through every single document page by page, and the fact that you're basically working with literally everything stored since the creation of said archives which might span anything from several decades to centuries *page by page* all while more documents keep coming in and you can see why the entire thing is downright Sisyphean.

1:17:10 Here is my favourite part: NATO-lead coalition still has decisively won the Kosovo war. And not only that, US Air Force in Europe took Serbians a little bit seriously. Which meant that they dedicated the entire air group (roughly 36-40 combat aircrafts) to done nothing, but searching and bombing Serbian ground based air defence systems. As a result, same Serbian air defence brigade that shot down F-117 was wiped out off the Earth. All missile launchers, command posts, ammunition carriers and radars were either destroyed or damaged beyond repair. And 70% of personnel took casualties. This brigade was only rebuilt from scratches after war, yet some Serbians still believes that THEY the one who defeated Americans.

Electronic warfare is complicated and can refer to several things. It can involve jamming enemy radar, scrambling their communications, directly attacking their AA systems with high-intensity systems, and hacking. It can also include emerging technologies, like using high-powered directed EM emitters to fry the electronics in enemy drones across large areas (look up AFRL Mjolnir and Rafael DroneDome for examples of this). Basically, if you want to simplify it, EW systems are the electronic equivalent to tossing a flash-bang at high-tech enemy systems to sent them back a couple decades.

1:26:55 This idea is called Lazerbear syndrom go look it up its quite intresting and a little funny when your in the know, but bascially the Russian would say they have something, the Lazerbear, the US would say oh we can't counter the Lazerbear, quick we need a counter and then the Russia's accidently advanced the US tecnology by 30 years. Its also the idea behind Lazerpigs name, hes just swaped bear with pig. I'm not joking by the way thats actually the idea behind his channel name.

46:44 - Electronic warfare means anything that can interfere with your opponents electronics, which includes but is not limited to: - jamming / spoofing comms (sometimes decrypting scrambled signals for older tech) - jamming / spoofing radar - jamming / spoofing gps / location beacons - jamming / spoofing laser guidance - disrupting kill-chains - locating enemy assets (specially radar stations and other EW stations) - obtaining recoding of enemy data links / guidance system telemetry / used frequencies list goes on. Anything you can imagine that does bad things to the enemy using radio / light and doesn't require a hacker with obligatory hoodie and dark gloves sitting in front of the laptop falls under this category.

Alexander Graham Bell actually moved to Canada when he was 23, and his telephony experiments started giving seriously practical results 6 years later. Though he was also experimenting with it for a few years before the move. So I think it's somewhat iffy to definitively say the telephone is either Scottish or American.

1:35:06 Their was a WW2 ACE Eric Heartman the top scoring fighter pilot ever and he hated this plane but due to coruption he bascially got forced to retire early. Also this is the reason the F-104 was known and the Lawndart and Widowmaker. Also it had a downward firing ejector seat at one point, yes really, which i feel would make low flying ejecting a double lawndart, you lawndart with or with out the plane you pick. Although i will say their is also a video on the F-104 by Falcon Figter Tales called "In Defense of the F-104" where he does go over the aircraft and he does bring up the bad side as well as its good points which it has many i will admit, i just never want to fly the thing as i like not lawndarting.
