SR-72 DARKSTAR Takes to the Skies - USAF Finally Declared!

[@apal5386]

God bless America 🇺🇸 ❤

[@kenconey]

If the change over from one pod of operation to another. Will truly be the most versatile aircraft ever built.

[@TitoBobbyPh]

F22 is the most beautiful fighter to date. The designers are at a different level

[@avNATION2]

The SR-72 and Darkstar are the same thing. It's called the SR-72 Darkstar.

[@tanvictor6175]

Will it make America great again?

[@patrickkem689]

If the unclassified mock is 12 I would be hard pressed guessing a classified mock!

[@jeffstanaway3576]

SR 72 has been flying for years. . . .

[@blenheimantiques9507]

Got any video footage then? Because all I can find is CGI

[@CtRAlTtAb]

​@blenheimantiques9507 it's more of a consistency sort of thing. Planes like the F-117 and SR-71 flew long before they were introduced. But technically, it was the prototype variants that flew, not the official variants

[@childrey14]

I agree and I'm sure they have far more advanced aircraft that are more classified than this jet

[@blenheimantiques9507]

@@CtRAlTtAb sure. Retrospectively you can say that. But who's to say an SR-72 will ever be unveiled at all, until it is?

I'd like to tour a hanger with the SR72 within. In the 60s' I looked through middle silos and the B52 bombers in their many advancements. I have always remembered some of the little nuances. Like what I did in the Army, I remember but never give out trade secrets. Though I might nod and smile.

[@markfischer3626]

What happened to the GE/DARPA/USAF Labs rotary detonation chamber that could propel the plane to Mach 10 and above?

[@jeffstanaway3576]

I was in the deep woods of Washington State when we heard a jet fly overhead that left a dotted exhaust trail. . . We heard it for about 10 seconds and then it was gone. . . . That was in the early 2000's. . . .

[@michaelmcgee8011]

The F-22 is the 1st generation stealth? I don't think so. Ever heard of the F-117 ? Doesn't give me much confidence in the rest of this guys material.

[@spikymikie]

Its been flying for years. But very cool video!

[@johnnywalker4490]

IF you heard about it Today, It was Classified for 50 years. What is New Today , You will hear about it in 50 Years . Period. wrap your head around that...

[@TahdemBarsoom]

Actually the x15 could go up to Mach 9

[@patrickcallahan1539]

Amazing

[@Anarchy_420]

U.S. Airforce/Spaceforce i implore you, make the name SR-72 Dark Phoenix! The SR-71 Blackbird program restored as The Phoenix rises from the ashes! Would pay homage to The Semi-hypersonic AIM-54C Phoenix, Dark keeps with pop cultural theme, and for any comic fans The SR-72 Dark Phoenix! Lol way better than Son of Blackbird ;)👍

[@ScottWilmore]

Is the Darkstar a scramjet?

[@salvatorecotrone3950]

To me:: The best jet remains in the history::: was THE SR 71 blackbird!!!

[@IDamian1]

Russia's Zircon and China's DF-100 would pose a threat, no?

[@michaelsparks350]

Suck it all in because most all of this teck hasn't gotten off the computer screen yet.

[@mattydare]

Oh no - not more Merican top secrets on YT🤣

[@carsonsklam]

What the Chi-Na's one is just Ramjet version of SR-71 in practice.

[@ralphw7950]

Beginning of the video stated SR 72 would not have vertical stabilizers, but then pretty much every animation before and afterward showed it with vertical stabilizers

[@benjaminroussey5710]

It won't - it was showing other jets. It will not have vertical stabilizers.

Can it take down drones in New Jersey?

[@ronthomas5273]

So, when did the USAF make the Darkstar declaration? What’s that? I didn’t hear you…😢 More Clickbait money making nonsense. Just stop it….

[@DavETharp]

🚩At 2:40 standoutness 🤔 really. Do Better.

[@1527Stingray]

Navy?…. Seriously? Hahaha. Didn’t see a tail hook.

[@frisk151]

And some of you actually subscribe to this channel.. Everyone knows the Darkstar went back in time and killed the dinosaurs..

[@johninmoapa8355]

The technology we know about pales in comparison to what we dont know about. Trump slipped early in his first term and referenced this.

[@bradharris1062]

I wiuld make a mode for super slow. Super low

[@jakebarrett2339]

Sorry. We're years behind the game.

[@tvdroid22]

What game? The US did hypersonic studies in the early 1970's. Russia is just now where we were 50yrs ago. The only thing that has changed is the technology needed to operate this stuff, be it computers or heat tolerant materials.

[@redlightron]

You play too many games.

[@jakebarrett2339]

@@tvdroid22 They did studies. Didn't invest it. Russia rules the hypersonic realm. This is common knowledge.

What about tr3b?

[@jamesrudasill4440]

The Tr3b utilizes antigravity drive is not jet technology.

[@michaelhayes498]

@jamesrudasill4440 I am aware. Just wanted to hear some information about when or if our military would admit it is ours.

[@joshsmith6955]

​​​Stay off the UFO sites. ​@@michaelhayes498 if we had that technology we would have absolutely zero reason to build this or any of the other jets.. zero sense. What for when you could have an antigravity warp drive tr3b that's apparently off fighting the aliens in far away planets and showing up in warzone for quick pics on earth.... please. You wouldn't need to hide that technology from the world you'd let that puppy out. Why? Because from that point on. We rule the world. All the oil.... All the world's resources would be controlled and allocated by US. It would put an end to all our squabbles that we have with anybody else. The benefits of proving that technology is owned by us far outweigh any downside

[@sonnytrinh386]

I don't think this damn thing real

[@slowpoke3102]

Isn't this outdated technology with a bigger engine. Tech is outdated why are we wasting money like this?

[@benjaminroussey5710]

The Darkstar can't have missiles!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FogbornAhh]

It might just shoot itself down instead

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

Surely the Darkstar cannot fly faster than Mach 10? Some of Russian hypersonic missile can exceed that? Therefore, unlike the SR71, the SR72 can no longer fly over Russia with impunity...A technology marvel no doubt but unlikely to be a game-changer...

[@jakevicknair5262]

they have to track something with next level stealth flying at minimum mach 6, that makes a huge difference. if you cant track it you cant begin to fire a hypersonic missile.

[@eymeeraosaka2954]

@@jakevicknair5262 This sounds pretty illogical to me? The SR72 is not a stealth aircraft. Its forte is speed? If the Russians and Chinese have hypersonic missiles that can exceed Mach10, is naive to think they cannot detect and target the SR72. Why do you think the Pentagon decided to replace the B2 with the B21? It is because it is extremely expensive to build and maintain. It can now be detected and shot down. So can the B21 but because it is cheaper to build this will increase its survivability with numbers...As Stalin famously said, quantity has a quality of its own..."

[@jakevicknair5262]

@ we are not building quantity over quality with our planes first of all, second of all our stealth and radar capabilities far exceed any other country currently we literally made the technology. The darkstar will exceed Mach 6 but they won’t release the real speed for security reasons, the United states now fits a type of countermeasure much like a flare specifically made for missiles tracking radar, so even if they did lock a stealth fighter moving at Mach 6+ there are countermeasures, also the United States has hypersonic missiles as well that fit in every single plane except for the f35 vtol variant, to even include the ac-130 😂 russia can’t handle Ukraine they wouldn’t touch the United States if we actually went to war and held nothing back.

[@jakevicknair5262]

@blenheimantiques9507 our own fighters can barely track our own f35s buddy I don’t need to prove that a next generation fighter moving 3-4 times faster and focused on stealth can evade radar 😂 the mf’n thing would be gone by the time you acknowledged a radar signal in the first place.
