" THE PENTOMIC ARMY LONG RANGE FIREPOWER " 1957 U.S. ARMY TACTICAL NUCLEAR WARFARE XD60384

[@John-ci8yk]

In the early eighties in high school I was promised by my teachers that I would not have to worry about my retirement, that someday in the near future I would see a bright flash off in the distance and before my central nervous system could register pain I would be vaporized. And well frankly now I'm disappointed. A complete idiot from Philadelphia. Thank you and thumbs up.

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

Same for me & my classmates in the mid-50s to the late 60s Espc after 1954 when the H-bomb appeared.

[@michaelsexton8885]

@1:53 The biggest factor at Agincourt was probably the wet muddy terrain rather than the English Longbow which wouldn't have been able to penetrate good quality armour at farther range. The use of heavy Calvary was already in decline due to the use of Pikes in tight formations, added to the new addition of gunpowder.

[@skenzyme81]

I get a kick of the rumbly explosion sound effect they sync with the flash of nukes for these films. Bro, if there is no delay between the flash and the boom, you won't hear it anyway. Your eardrums will have already been vaporized.

[@John-ci8yk]

That I didn't notice, thank you. I'm one of those people during World War II documentaries that gets pissed when they show a Thompson submachine gun firing but the audio is the sound of a Browning automatic rifle. Have a nice day.

[@Iridium43]

When China had the Olympics their opening ceremony had a lot of those simultaneous flash bangs.

[@kidkique]

Everyone knows those are added sound effects but thanks for trying to look smart

"Red with war, and rumors of war. Because War...War never changes." For a moment I thought the title was "The Pentatonic Army," and wondered if they were going to talk about making all the marching bands play five-note scales instead of octaves. That said, holy shit this stuff is nutty.

[@floydvaughn9666]

Pentomic was a term used to describe the way that units were structured. Square = units of 4 elements, triangle = 3, etc. Penti = 5. I guess. HaHa, I read this in Soldier, by Col. Anthony Herbert, the most decorated soldier of the Korean War.

6:00 They are suggesting that using a PGM-11 Redstone ballistic missile for "Halting and destroying a forward enemy formation" is okay👍. I would suggest that using weapon with a 3.75 megaton warhead in a "Tactical" situation, is a little heavy handed. A 155mm HE Shell has 7kg of explosives in it, so that's 535,000,000 155mm rounds going bang all at once.

[@nevoobrazimiy]

11:09 It really caught me in surprise for how long in fact such kind of loitering munition are in service

[@Cartoonman154]

That's not a loitering munition. This would most likely have more in common with missiles like a spike missile or Javelin.

[@АзарЯвед-э4м]

That's an early ATGM "SSM-A-23 Dart". The project was cancelled in favor of French SS.11 missile.

[@davidfisher12865]

Because we know, the only way to be SURE, is with the use of thermo nuclear weapons to keep us all SAFE. Can't argue with that logic.

[@gordonlandreth9550]

Yeah , who wants to mess with you because you have nukes and will use them . Makes sense to me .

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I started school about 1953 and this kind of crap was part of everyday life for us. Drop, Duck and Cover. It didn't take long for us to understand that while we were down there we should also just kiss our asses goodbye! This crap lasted into the 60s then we never heard of it again.

[@jeanhebert2130]

Thanks

[@dcrog69]

Progress!

[@drmarkintexas-400]

🤗🙏🇺🇲 Thank you for sharing

[@jefflyon2020]

"It can deliver a HUGE nuclear charge with amazing accuracy", who needs accuracy when the entire battlefield has been atomized and remains a balmy,sweaty and warmish 1800 degrees from the thermal effects of a nuclear 280mm shell from atomic annie?

[@dcrog69]

Wouldn't want to vaporize the wrong city.

[@tapalmer99]

At 2:50 was that a 37 mm tank killer mounted to the Jeep?

M40 106mm Recoilless Rifle.

[@mthury4532]

106mm recoiless rifle

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

0:53 -> It all began with sticks and stones. Read Richard Armour Colonel USA “It All Began With Sticks And Stones” To laugh at our own foolishness.

[@Mark_Ocain]

It must gall the US Army to this day that all nuclear capabilities are with the USAF and USN.

[@bigjimtruth6957]

Sry nukes don't exist at all period end of story

[@DoctorShocktor]

What we know doesn’t exist is your education and probably half your teeth. What we guess probably does exist is your government support check and a bong and/or bible. What we’re not sure exists is your sister wife and a few mutated children.

[@MichaelMadcock]

Sry you fell for the psyop.

[@seeingeyesseelies9545]

I agree with big Jim. The old footage of nuclear explosions at the Nevada test site is hilarious. It's on bitchute and the commentary is scientific with the perfect amount of snark. Christian churches in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tokyo were carpeted bombed (holocausted by fire, not nuked) after Japan surrendered. Of course those cities were immediately habitable. Dresden was also carpet bombed/holocausted. Everything that you were ever taught about American history is a lie. All of it. Your government lies to you constantly, about absolutely everything. Whatever you hear on your television look elsewhere for the truth.
