A MIG-21 carrying a nuclear device doesn't surprise me in the slightest considering it's NK..

[@DIBgmail]

I don't think NK has any gravity nukes. I'd be surprised!

[@concinnus]

Would surprise me. We can fit an H-bomb in a 700# gravity bomb, small enough to stick a glide kit on (free fall range wouldn't be sufficient). But I doubt the NorKs can even shrink their A-bombs that much. And since they know this, they probably haven't even made any gravity nukes.

Would want to send the best aircraft possible if you have your entire B2 group, and not the modernized 4th gen fighters. (No hate to the F15 & 16, proven aircraft), but if you had to make a decision between F22's, F35's, F15's, and F16's, probably go with the new generations. All depends on the mission aspects n' stuff.

[@cxaf420]

@@RonM.yea but the escorts being 4th gen is still viable. you just gotta have like 3 or 4 f-22s to go in and secure the airspace, and then you just have the f-16s and 15 protect the strike group and b-2s and once the airspace is clear then it doesn’t matter for stealth because by the time they realize the enemy is there it’s too late

[@sombraarthur]

It is. But only unitl the nukes start to fly. Then, panic sets in, specially if the strikes are carried out by H bombs, in hypersonic missiles, given that they are NOT ballistic, and given that they are flying to more than 6 times the speed of sound.

[@smithyMcjoe]

So if all the B2 sortied, how many of the F22s and 35s do we think would deploy alongside them for security? Wasn't expecting a random broken arrow. It would be cool to do some super high stakes stuff involving nukes. Such good stuff being put out by your channel. Thanks, bud.

[@joshuafischer684]

I'd guess 4 F-22s per B-2. With the "send 2 to do the job of 1" doctrine, nuking Pyongyang would be a 2 or 3 bird mission (so send 4 B-2s and 16 F-22's). Not entirely sure how the 35 would fit, but I'd estimate 2x the number of B-2s.

[@LeglessTurtle]

Any chance of getting some more IL2 videos? Love the videos. I check in everyday. Keep it up man!

[@CastleGraphics]

Nukes, like all other weapons, have an arming cycle that must complete before it will detonate. Even if the aircraft itself burns, the detonation of an unarmed nuke is unlikely to cause an actual nuclear explosion. Might spray radioactive material everywhere, but it won't cause a reaction.

[@concinnus]

As the Goldsboro B-52 crash demonstrated, just because it's designed with safeties doesn't mean they'll all work.
