The check pattern was painted on the nuke was to determine the initial velocity during a test with camera footage.

Take a look at how close they're all coming out together so they all are able to land in the same location

[@Killerpixel11]

The video is a bit overdramatic on Quicksink. It's nothing really groundbreaking. It's an existing JDAM with a new seeker. Any aircraft (and the F-35 in particular) that's capable of lobbing a JDAM, is also capable of lobbing a GBU with laser guidance, which achieves the same thing. The mine clearing line charges aren't all that unique, but a cool piece of kit. There's man-portable versions that come in backpacks. The Russians have their own versions.

[@Anubis78250]

Drove me nuts as the clip keeps calling it a rocket, or missile. It's a bomb. A bomb with a seeker and steering, but still a bomb. A rocket is a self propelled, unguided device. A missile is a self propelled, guided device. A guided gravity bomb is still a bomb. The real advantage of the system is the price. Instead of sinking it with a 2 to 5 million dollar torpedo, you can sink it with a 2 to 300k bomb. That also gives a use to outdated munitions.

[@KNETTWERX]

In the early 2000’s when I was an active duty Marine when a unit of Marines were doing a jump with sabotaged chutes. My platoon was on range SR-10 when this happened and had a good view of most of the incident. Three Marines jumped before the rest of those slated to jump were stopped. We watched helplessly as 3 Marines fell behind the trees from our point of view. What we didn’t see was that all three pulled their reserve chutes at very low altitude and survived with minimal injuries. A Marine was arrested and court martialed for purposely sabotaging multiple chutes after being NJP’d by his CO. His charges included multiple attempted murder charges, and he might actually be still in prison.

RE: Railguns - Remember this acronym WAV - Wattage = Amperage x Voltage. If you have a million amps, that means your wattage has got to be absolutely bonkers. It's why stun guns won't kill you, high voltage but low amperage. Voltage doesn't kill you, Amperage does.

[@kimchi2780]

As an EET we were always taught Amps kill, Watts hurt.

[@Whiteknight-xg2pq]

Wait... forgive my shitty analogy. Electricity is energy and can be measured like uh.... frequency I think. So a stung gun per say has a High and wide frequency pattern, Where as lets say two powerlines being short circuited could be a High but Short frequency pattern. Long F:(/ \ / \) Short F:(\/\/\/).

[@kimchi2780]

@@Whiteknight-xg2pq More amps means more shocks.

[@odorousobject8165]

​@@Whiteknight-xg2pq It's better to think of electricity like water coming out of a hose with a spray nozzle. Try this analogy: To better understand the relationship between voltage and amperage and how it affects the risk of electrical shock, imagine spraying someone with a water hose with a spray nozzle. For this analogy, consider the following: Voltage = Water Spigot's Initial Pressure Resistance = Hose With a Spray Nozzle Amperage = Resulting Water Flow Pulling the spray nozzle's trigger further would decrease the resistance, thus increasing the current. The initial water pressure (constant voltage) never changes. However, the increase in the volume of water (increased amperage) due to the opened spray nozzle (decreased resistance) is what determines how soaked you get when sprayed. Thus, with amps vs. volts, the danger is in the amps. So while the voltage can remain the same in the system, increasing amperage drastically starts to increase the overall wattage (the spray power out of the nozzle). It's why Stun Guns don't kill you, it's like a HUGE amount of light misty rain that soaks you wet. You get wet, but you're not killed by it. Hope that long block of text helps

[@steeljawX]

I think I heard it best on one of Tom Scott's many shows. During a Technical Difficulties show, Chris Joel quoted, "It's the volts that jolts. It's the mills (as in milliamps) that kills." That, I believe, was their Citation Needed episode about the Coffin Ray, but that's how I remember it now. High voltage is going to hurt and really REALLY suck. If it's got high amps, I'm not dealing with it.

Military parachutes are meant to get you to the ground quickly You're going to have to remove the main shoot very quickly Because they throw you out the jet at low altitude To help get you to the ground quickly So you don't get shot

[@Majorpain32677]

Im a military veteran and when they sink something in a test we then dive and take video of the damage to analyze it usually small navy seal subs or drivers will take pictures and videos

[@fyvefouroh]

As far as military parades go in the US, we don't necessarily just drive the equipment down the road waving, but we do have military exercises and simulated events you can attend. They are fucking awesome! U.S. Special Operations Command hosts a thrilling capabilities demonstration in Tampa, Florida. They have simulated gunfire and explosions, heli's and much more! You should check a video out on one of the demonstrations. It's called the "Battle of the Bay".

The US Navy has had Rail Guns on several small boys testing goong back to when I first saw one in Mayport Florida back in 2001. The benefits are speed, no tracking or noise. It's like riding a motorcycle at 100 mph with no helmet and taking a bumblebee to the eyeball.

[@MulliAT]

As terrifying as heli crashes are they are way safer than people think. I know someone who was serving in the RAF as a heli crewman in the early 2000s and during an exercise in Germany the heli rolled down the side of a mountain. I've seen the footage he showed me once and as violent as it looked no one was harmed at all.

Great video. Super tiny thing is that US navy carriers have F35-C aircraft not B. The US marines do operate the B type VTOLs on their smaller carriers that can’t support catapult launches.

[@NottiOne]

The parachruper was an oh shit moment, was my biggest fear during training.

[@JIMBEARRI]

I've seen footage from sinking a carrier as a reef. There were numerous cameras and other sensors throughout the ship feeding video and data to computer equipment in a large launch sitting on the flight deck on stocks. When the carrier went under, the launch floated off. Presumably, the Navy recovered the launch and the data. If you've never seen this video, it's worth watching : USS Oriskany Sunk and becomes Artificial Reef

[@Asymmetrical-Saggin]

F35-C is the Carrier specific. F35-B is STOVL capable.

Yup and B’s would be on amphibs, not carriers. Although some marine pilots will fly the c variant.

Railguns would be used for potential anti nuclear deterrance, becuase of the speeds they can be launched very far very fast and if you can manage to use a shrapnel shell and get them close to warheads in the terminal phase you should be able to add a new layer of defence. so they have uses.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you took a second to say, "The title says incredible military moments and that was an incredible moment. Not incredible in a good way, incredible in a bad way." One of my biggest KZbin gripes is the name of videos. The greatest, the best, You won't believe this, New discovery breaks the laws of physics. This shit pisses me off to no end, even if I actually really enjoy the content they produced. The false, over hyped titles completely turn me off. So when you or anyone else reference the content in relation to what the video is sold as is a wonderful thing. I would actually ask you to drop more lines like that into your commentary. Even if you only do it when it's positive... I can totally understand you not wanting to dump on a creator whose video is good enough for you want to share it and break down.

[@steeljawX]

Good gravy, that weenie in the corner blabbing on again!!! (I'm trying to keep you honest here, Luke.) But you're saying, "Oh, I love a good ship sink'n!" And I'm here like, "So you're the freak in the theater laughing and cheering in the viewing of 'Titanic'." You know, there were people shrieking and crying and gritting their teeth. Luke's entire family are in the back like, "WHOOOO! SINK ANOTHER!!!!" That was less well received when they did the same during the movie "Pearl Harbor." . . . I'm kidding, but I can totally see you holding in the urge to whoop at the sinking scene of the Titanic. It's a big ship that went down. That Russian missile......yeah, it might be able to do that, but we're talking about Russia. Also, that's something I don't feel is worthwhile gloating over and here's why. Rockets aren't like an engine where you get to adjust amounts. Rockets are an all on or nothing at all deal. Meaning that it's not so much that they've programmed the rocket to correct itself, it's that they've worked out exactly how much fuel needs to be put in those correcting rockets to get it to go in a certain direction. I don't think if they have any other option. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive that they got that figured out, but it's kind of like those tank fireworks when they work right. They move so far before "firing" little fire balls and maybe explode or crackle. That's not huge tech working, that's just careful measurements. So I applaud Russian chemists and physicists for figuring that bit out, not so much on the rocket engineers and technology programmers who probably are accredited with making an "amazing sophisticated rocket correction system."

[@steeljawX]

The other thing you need to note about the mine clearing device is it's a cord. It's less about how it lands initially because you can pull on the end still connected to the vehicle with the trigger line until it's covering a more decent distance. As long as the head of the line gets as far as it can, you can reel that back just enough to get maximum clearance out of it. And what's even more mind boggling about it is that it's another some how "close enough" calculation. It will clear out surface width that just happens to be a little wider than most US Military vehicles are wide, but it doesn't make a ditch. That aside, it's one of many tools usually fitted to the M1150 ABV Shredder.

[@Rembrant65]

The video is factually hopeless. At 2:37 "steers the rocket"? It's a bomb. At 3:17 "you can see the rocket fly in" 3:28 "the missile is so fast you don't even see it hit"? Oh, now it's a missile? The narrator pointed it out at 3:17 so it is not too fast to see. The script feels AI generated. I didn't bother with the rest of the video. Even though I love explosions as much as anybody.

#1 5/10: Not really impressed. I would expect this capability. Plus one point because the boat sinking like that just gets an extra point. #2 4/10: It's a rocket taking off, still not impressed. We went to the mood decades ago. #3 3/10 : This would be cooler if it was anything new. Just blowing up defenses/mines with explosives fashioned into a rope. #4 3/10: The only reason it's not a 1 is because the wire hitting him made me pucker. But tanks wiping out seems to be not that uncommon in Russia. #5 2/10: Out of every "incredible" helicopter crash they could pick from, they pick one of the most tamest I think I have ever seen. I have seen far worse non-fatal crashes. Only got a two because of the bus. #6 10/10: Now this is some crazy stuff, I was expecting more of this. Dude came so close to becoming a pancake, but saved it last moment. I really want to know why his chute failed. #7 4/10: Same as number one, but the ship didn't sink like the first so no extra point. #8 7/10: That's a really crappy situation man. Alright I guess. #9 I don't even feel like rating this one. Overall score for the video is 3/10, it's just so low effort when it came to clip selection and the commentary. Felt like a program on television that's been dumbed down for a "general audience". The majority of these were not nearly as incredible as some of the other stuff I have seen online, not including stuff that wouldn't be suitable for KZbin.

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

5:10 "I feel like its russian, it might just fall apart." -- Actuallly you have no idea how accurate that is for their Mobile Missile carriers... they operate off a 2-stage 'booster' system. The first stage 'kicks' the rocket up out of the lunch-tube, then the 2nd stage kicks in to send it on its way. There are MANY, many, videos of the 2nd stage never igniting and the Missile falling back down 'onto' the launch-carrier. OR the 2nd stage ignighting, and the guidance breaking so it just spirals above the carrier or 'cartwheels' above it before detonating in the air or back on the ground.

My dad and his friends were hooligans in the early 50's. He got drunk and crashed his pickup into a pharmacy at age 17. When he went to court, the judge offered jail time or military service. He chose to join the Army. As a paratrooper, he did a practice jump similar to the ones in the video. Back then, one guy packed everybody's chutes. Guy that packed chutes this particular day was notoriously lazy, careless, stupid or all three. When he jumped, his primary deployed tangled and didn't open. My dad pulled his backup and it only partially deployed. He landed in a sand dune, broke his hip pointer and crushed a vertebrae. The ornery bastard walked into town 4 miles away and got drunk. Hitched back to base where he immediately went and punched the "lazy dipshit" that packed chutes before finally reporting to the infirmary. Somehow, he still managed an honorable discharge, but he said he never wanted to jump out of a plane or tolerate a lazy dipshit ever again.

[@timmooney7528]

One of the mine clearing charges looked like it got snagged on a tree, hence getting piled up. Gauss rifles or rail guns have potential to be placed on battleships for naval artillery. A guided round could be launched to intercept aircraft. Imagine an artillery round with the range of a missile.

[@Cole_Zulkowski]

when the parachute fails as a paratrooper and someone can fix what i say if it is true or not on that but when the main chute fails and your that close to the ground when pulling the reserve chute you can expect pretty horrible injuries still becuase that chute will not slow you down enough at all i seen others who had the same thing happen and they were given major injuries from it because the reserve chute can not save you when your that close to ground so your given injuries no matter what since the trooper was going probably faster than some one just doing a normal jump from plane for a adrenaline junky so expect the paratroopers who have issues with chutes to be injured or maybe injured enough that they can not do it again.

[@theblackbear211]

Yeah, the JDAM thing - The Navy can drop them from all the variations of F-18s, and the F-35C from their large carriers, and the F-35B, and the AV-8B Harrier from their LHAs & LHDs, Though it is not listed as a weapon carried by the P-8 Poseidon patrol bomber - I suspect they could be equipped with JDAMs if the Navy wanted to. Despite being ex - Navy, for my money the most frightening delivery system to contemplate is the B-52 which can be JDAM equipped and could potentially carry dozens of them, dropping them from a height where there would be no visual or audible warning of the bomb's approach.

[@Babbseagle12]

America probably does the most military parades, just in the form of flyovers. We have flyovers for almost every single baseball game in the 162 game season. We have flyovers for every single football game. We have flyovers for fireworks sometimes. And then there's the blue angels.

[@wittsullivan8130]

There are rail guns and coil guns (aka Gauss rifles, even though they're smoothbore) A coil gun uses a series of electromagnets that turn on as the projectile approaches, then turns off when the projectile goes through it and the next coil activates. The more coils you have, the more power they can handle to make more magnetic force, and the speed they can power up and down makes the projectile faster and larger. They use a similar system in the new electromagnetic catapult system on the Ford class of aircraft carriers, which are nuclear powered. The electromagnetic system stores current in capacitors, which charge instantaneously compared to batteries or the old steam catapults, so they can launch several aircraft a minute of various weights, as long as they put in the proper weight. you would not want to launch an F-35 after putting in a cargo plane's weight or it would rip the landing gear off. They also need to know the loadout of weapons to make sure they have the right weight. Atomic General, the inventors of the electromagnetic launch system was working on a rail gun to replace the Navy's 5" guns, but the Navy put it on hold. At the time the only supplier of blackpowder, which artillery still uses in big guns, went out of business for a while and they were worried they wouldn't have enough powder for practice and active warfare, so they were looking at other technologies. If you have a ship with a nuclear powerplant, you don't have to worry about powering up such a beast, but the rail gun can only handle so many shots before the barrel needs replacing, the rails act just like brushes in a motor, but with more stress, the contacts burn out. Gun barrels can handle a lot more rounds between replacement, and another company took over making blackpowder, so they could keep on using old fashioned cannons. They are still working on guns that can use liquid propellant, like a giant potato launcher or how car engines work. Inject some aerolized fuel into the chamber and hit it with a spark. You adjust the amount of fuel for the range or weight of the projectile. The Germans have a mobil artillery piece that can fire up to 5 rounds a minute using liquid propellant. It's not a rail gun but still hella cool. We figured our 3 rounds per minute Paladins were "good enough" especially since they can drop all three rounds on the same target simultaneously. We use the German cannon, but they use our targeting systems. :)

19:50 First guy in the line: See you ladies on the ground! -- Guy who later has the chute-snare: Not if i get there first! Glad his reserve didnt get tangled in the mess his main was.... dont they usualy 'cut away' then pull their reserve to ensure that isnt a issue? (not that im complaining, just a question ive always had when seeing that video)

Mine clearance the British in the 70s 80s had viper the same thing PE4 in a hose fired from a three quater ton trailer like a Land rover would tow this had two cases in it the thing was this could be towed by any armoured Vehical from a ferret to a 432 to a tank and yes if breave enough a truck or land rover. Plus the unit was so cheep it could be loaded into any empty trailer . And looking from the front you could have dozens of 432s approaching you and not be able to see the trailer behind one let alone say twenty

16:17 That wire could also possibly be a phone/telegram transmitting wire. I assume/hope that authorities wouldn't allow a crowd to form around a downed power line 😬

That ship missile 8.5 due to it destroying the super structure of the vessel

[@theblackbear211]

ICBMs - yeah, the philosophy of "Mutually Assured Destruction" isn't something to think too much about. The weakness of the silo based ICBMs is that everyone knows exactly where they are. Consider Ballistic Missile Submarines - of which the UK has 4 and the US 14. They both carry the same make of ICBM the UK's subs carry 16 and the US subs carry 20 (reduced from 24 by treaty) Each missile can carry between 8 and 14 individually aimed warheads. That's 128 to 280 cities that could be wiped off the map per submarine. Let's all hope that never, ever happens.

Honestly if I was in charge of a single missiles paint scheme it be this, A-Pink all over, with the silhouette of a white rabbit and the words "French Tickler" right under it. Because if images or video is ever found of it in flight, history will know..... what Idk, I just think its funny.

[@tusk9248]

6:50 Because if we had not been able to deliver these warheads across the globe within 10-20 minutes, they would most likely have been destroyed without the ability to strike back, and in general they do a good job of deterring a possible encroachment on territories

You know the first time somebody sends off one of those nuclear bombs the Earth is dead

[@wittsullivan8130]

I liked the first one a lot because it saves money by using obsolescent bombs instead of spending millions of dollars on a new missile. The Satan 2 was checker painted for testing purposes. They can look at slow motion footage to check it's speed and other things, just like how crash test dummies and other experimental craft and weapons have weird color patters on them. They're reference points. The issued weapon won't be so colorful. Everyone who has nuclear silos also have satelites parked over their enemies countries watching for their silos to open up. When the US, UK, France, Israel, Russia, China whoever else is going to test an ICBM, they make sure everyone else knows so they won't accidentally start a nuclear war just to see of the silo door still works. Because of the satelites, we'll know when nukes launch and figure out their trajectory, giving us plenty of time to launch countermeasures from Alaska and various other bases designed for that. In North Korea, they'll have row after row of vehicles. According to North Korean Army defectors, they don't have enough fuel or ammo to practice during the year, they're saving their fuel for the parades and the high level execs transport. When the vehicles and marching soldiers get around the corner, they swap uniforms and unit designations to make the soldiers and vehicles look like another unit to make the army look bigger.

[@cadennorris960]

There are no imaging satellites in geostationary orbit atleast not yet so you can’t “park” them anywhere they are stuck in low earth orbit.

[@GamerMarine89]

Remember if they are showing it, they have shit even more advanced they will tell us in 15 years they just came up with it.

Reaction on Indian Marco operation against Somalia pirates and other recent

[@briandelaroy1670]

Rail gun concept 10…..but gets a 4 because its not practical and no navel vessel could operate it without multiple nuclear reactors on board.
