The Next World War | Episode 10 | Deep Strike

With its supply lines under severe strain and threat, NATO takes a risky and perilous step by launching a strike inside Russia, aiming to disrupt the advancing invasion. The Next World War is a documentary series that takes a terrifying and realistic look at a hypothetical Third World War scenario.
Creator notes and commentary:
- First, a thank you to Robert Wilkerson (call sign “Skinner”), a former harrier pilot, for his insight and information for this and future episodes, and for catching an important error in THIS episode.
- ERROR discovered: In real-life, NATO SACEUR and US Commander EUCOM are actually the same person, wearing two hats. I have them as two characters. Viewers and a friend of mine caught the error, but it was after I posted, so... that one's on me! Sorry folks.
- I couldn't find the successor to the Marine AAV (the new ACV), so I had to improvise.
- I don't have General uniforms for US, UK, etc. - so I had to go with what I got.
- The Russian missiles taking down "glide bombs"... weren't glide bombs. I had to improvise with drones.
- The F35s are dropping JASSMs for the story, though visually they look like bombs - thus calling "rifle" instead of "bombs away".
- Does this airstrike scenario cover all the bases for reality? Nope. To keep the story moving, I couldn't include everything - but it gives enough of the tension and flavor of what's plausible to make it exciting and watchable. Would there be more downed NATO planes in reality? Maybe, but my thinking was that most of the weapons dropped would be dropped while still well inside the Baltics, reducing risk. The losses would mostly be bombs and missiles being knocked down while heading in.
Lastly, please keep in mind that the equipment, “actors”, uniform rank, etc., in my video may not be perfect. Though I try to get it right, sometimes there isn’t a mod or 3D model for what’s needed. Or, I might get something wrong. I’m a One Man Show here and I’m doing my best, so I ask for some grace. That said, if you see something that I might be able to address in future episodes, let me know. Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome.

Amen

Easily my favourite thing ever viewed on KZbin!

[@robertoler3795]

superb my wife and I are both naval aviators...and our oldest daughter is a LCDR driving the F35 we all loved this. fly safe and BZ

[@ptboy4162]

I didn't understand how the F35 fired before it had targets. The range is what? 100 miles? They wouldn't have known distance to target. Your thoughts?

[@iluvstrats2864]

@@ptboy4162 Early warning aircraft can provide targeting for them. They can fire them and the awacs can give them trageting info so the f35s don't have to even turn on radar.

[@ptboy4162]

Seemed to show the F35 firing when there was no target and then the AWAC vectored it in when a target appeared. Perhaps this is future tech in development?

[@iluvstrats2864]

That's basically it. Pretty wild stuff.

[@leeprince9283]

@@ptboy4162some missiles-and torps can be fired before you get a target.The real bad ones go looking on there own until they run out of fuel or get redirected.I hope we have FOF on them.

This should be a film series,it would take the world by storm.

My son is in his last year of playing college football, next year heading to OCS for the US Marine Corps. He loves this series because it gives him insight to what the future of warfare could be. We thank you for your work.

[@krismurphy7711]

Thank Him for his Future Service....20+ years without war hopefully.

[@summitap1]

The series is so intense that it was hard to remember the conflict is only 5 days in, so that was a very helpful reminder in the script!!! Excellent work again!

[@mojoe6396]

only 5 days? feels like 5 weeks

[@elessartelcontar9415]

Shout out to John! Thank you, John for creating this for all of us! You are highly skilled and should be in Hollywood as an expert advising on military movies.

Brilliant. Thanks for this, as a veteran I can say that this is not far from what may happen in the future. The tactics are pretty much on point.

[@billross1966]

It's absolutely gripping this series. It could almost be a docudrama from one of the big TV networks. Great stuff.

[@ptboy4162]

I gotta say, having been one, I can't imagine grunts in the field using the word"indefinitely " while bitching to the squad leader in the back of a personnel carrier! LOL. Still I'm enjoying this series very much!

[@NickLupercus]

Continuing to nail the documentary feel while keeping the story feeling intense. LOVE THIS SERIES!
