[@CanDellJack]

I fired a few Hellfires in my day. *_TIME FOR HISTORY!_* The Hellfire's got a 20 pound HE explosive behind a copper plate. The explosion liquefies the copper and sends it forward as a supersonic blast of molten metal that can cut through any armor on the planet. That was the original function: anti-tank. After a a few years, they decided 'Why not make the boom deadlier?" and scored and cut the missile casing so it fragments on detonation, turning it into a 20 pound fragmentation grenade behind a copper plate that still kills tanks. Anti-tank _plus_ anti-infantry. Then they said "But is it deadly enough?" and changed the explosive formula to include an aluminum oxide compound so it burns away all the oxygen and can turn a human's lungs inside-out with negative pressure. It was now a thermobaric anti-tank fragmentation missile. The military was stacking buffs on the Hellfire. It's now _anti-everything_ inside an entire building, even the parts of the building that should have been safe, like three rooms away. Then they had to make two separate variants, because using a thermobaric weapon too close to civilians is toeing the line of 'war crime' a bit too closely. So, in the end, there are normal Hellfires as a laser-guided anti-tank frag grenade, and the N-variant which still turns oxygen into fire, in addition to everything else.

My great grandpa was a test pilot in the cold war, he got a distinguished flying cross for landing an experimental plane they decided that he shouldve, and near anyone else wouldve, ejected from. That was his 4th distinguished flying cross to go along with the 3 he earned in combat in ww2 as a P47 pilot in the army air corps with The Black Rams (I cant believe I forgot the number, I wanna say 418th or 428th) fighter squadron in the Pacific theater, he was also in the air and saw with his own eyes the detonation of the first atomic bomb dropped by the Enola Gay. He was also one of the pilots that would fly scientist into ground zero during the bikini islands atomic bomb testing. He also flew missions in the Korean and Vietnam wars. He was also scrambled several times during the Cuban missile crisis. He was shot down 3 times, earned 4 distinguished flying crosses and I believe 1 silver star and 2 bronze stars, zero purple hearts fuckin somehow, and retired a Lt.Colenel in the airforce, apparently they wouldn't give him full bird cuz he didnt go to college before joining the military during ww2. He died a horrific death as a result of all the radiation he was exposed to while we were learning how nasty it is. His bones dissolved from the inside out and he refused painkillers because he would rather keep his wits about than be all fucked up on a ton of methadone. He died a few years before I was born, I wish I couldve known him, I wish more that I couldve talked to him as a man and actually know him rather than just hear the stories about him...he is my namesake after all.

the debate over the "humanity" of using the sword missile kinda reminds me of the debate of using atomics in Japan. Yes, it's kinda gruesome, but they saved more lives than they took if you think about it. I've red the estimated casualty rate of a Japanese land invasion was in the millions.

[@UchihaPercy]

And to think, it was the VERY LAST OPTION. Note: I put that last bit in caps because in most readings, there was one more atomic bomb planned to be dropped over Tokyo. If that didn't work, then it was 'Operation Downfall'. Fat Electrician said it a few times in a couple of his videos: "Not saying it's right, but it did happen".

Downfall was going to be an absolutely shit show. I remember one US Army estimate that basically said that Japan would become the next state because we'd have to colonize it because to take the islands we would have to reduce the Japanese population below the survivability limit. It's a human mercy that Downfall never had to go ahead.

The sword missile is a dumb debate, it kills you quicker than you react and it prevents collateral damage.

@@MrKeserian The most realistic estimate for Downfall I’ve seen stated 500,00+ dead Allied troops, and up to 10 million dead Japanese. For perspective on that, the total number of all people killed in the Holocaust was 11 million.

The all new Katana hellfire missle by Lockheed bringing a whole new level to fuck around and find out😂😂

[@jtengineering9385]

I went to a University lecture given by the Chief Design engineer on the Quiet Supersonic jet that LM SkunkWorks created. The design actually does create N-Waves, AKA Sonic Booms. You see, normally, aircraft create multiple smaller N-Waves, one at each of the major features of the aircraft: The Nose, the canopy, the wings, tails, engine inlet, etc. As all those smaller N-waves travel towards the ground, they merge constructively into a single, loud N-wave, the sonic boom we are familiar with. The geometry of the aircraft is designed in such a way to reduce the number of N-waves being produced, and spread them out as far as possible, so that the N-waves don't have time to merge constructively before they hit the observer on the ground. The net effect is that instead of a single large sonic boom, the observer would get several smaller, less intense mini-booms. That's what the Quiet super sonic jet looks so long and dart like, to spread out the features that generate sonic booms so they don't merge constructively. Also, it doesn't have a canopy the pilot can look forward out of. Instead, he flies and lands via cameras. Their plan is to fly the QSST aircraft over an unsuspecting town and measure the number of complaints they receive from the locals. If it goes well, they will take that data to congress and home a carve-out bill will be created for Quiet Super Sonic technology. Assuming all goes well, they will try to scale it up first for Business jets. The Chief engineer seemed really dubious when someone asked about commercial passenger jets. His response was along the lines of, "let's see how it goes with getting approval for business jets first."

[@Zanza1463]

Can you guys get this to HLC, he needs to put the X-15 plane into his videos because its America's hypersonic plane from the 60's.

This makes me think about a question I've asked probably about a hundred+ people. Now the question is "If you were going to be grievously injured, would you rather be shot or stabbed?" and funnily enough for the majority of people that live in places where guns are not common would rather be stabbed but people who live in places where guns are common would rather be shot. Now take the rest of this with some salt for if my math is off, but taking out subcutaneous knife wounds or bullet grazes, wounds that don't enter the body cavity, to keep the stats more fairly aligned with the question, and since there are more knife wounds than gunshot wounds, and most knife wounds are subcutaneous slashes and not stabs and most bullet wounds are not grazes, you have around the same chance of dying given a gunshot wound or a stab, around 10-20% fatality rate for said types of puncture wounds based on my found statistics. This being said tho, knife wounds are more lethal in the short term while gunshot wounds are more lethal in the long term, because stabs cause more bleeding than gunshots. Now if my math is right, this would mean that no matter what you choose as your option, your option is based on your opinion based on your culture of what would hurt the least, and explains some of the founded and unfounded fears of weaponry in the public consciousness, the fear of the unknown is what really scares people. I just thought that was interesting.

@3:45 There were 3 companies trying to make a low boom (not no boom) supersonic plane but at least one of them went bankrupt. They were all trying several different ways to reduce the boom but the way I think is most likely to work long term is the one where they actually create 2 sonic booms that are out of phase with each other so they cancel each other out. This is the same way that large ships reduce their wakes and increase fuel efficiency. It's also the same process that makes noise canceling headphones work.

HLC it is Lockheed Martin and Skunkworks doing the Supersonic X-59 Quesst plane. It does make sonic booms but it is designed to send it behind and above the plane so it makes a barely audible thump on the ground

The new supersonic plane you're talking about does create a sonic boom, but he creates a sonic boom going upward instead of towards the ground so no one can hear it, and it was a collaboration between DARPA, skunkwork,and NASA I believe that made that plane

F-101 Voodoo is a good looking plane and in Canadian service(CF-101) had some really nice looking paint jobs, also AIR-2A Genie is fun idea

You guys need to do a show on the soviet Sonic Boom Plane... the plane that was literally designed to use its sonic boom as a weapon of mass destruction.
