You should do Operation Tea Ball. It's what dramatically altered the kill ratio for the last 5 months of the Vietnam air war.. It was a command post that gathered information in real time from all surveillance and intelligence sources on the location of Migs. Starting in Aug 1972, USAF pilots got a briefing on UHF radioes before ingressing into North Vietnam on the location of all Migs. The US kill ratio for Migcap F-4s rose to 13-1!!! ... It wasn't the gun or improved dogfight training that increased the kill ratio, but rather a massive increase in Situational Awareness that Tea Ball afforded USAF pilots.

The Vietnam War is always portrayed in pop culture as this low tech affair with US GIs trudging through rice fields fighting VC guerrillas in straw hats. But there was this other side to the war with high-intensity combat between organized conventional militaries. Aside from Herzog’s excellent Rescue Dawn (2006), I don’t think any major films have portrayed the air war over Vietnam, and even that one was only about the US air to ground operations early on.

not just the air war.. the PAVN in Central Vietnam and Laos had a fair amount of tanks and artilleries, as well as a sophisticated logistics network hidden in the jungle, which came as a nasty surprise for the South Vietnamese force during the Lam Son 719 Campaign. though tbf, the North Vietnamese government themselves loved the image of the "farmer-soldier", as it was powerful propaganda for the "People's War". In fact, even for the air war, the stories of famer-militants armed with rifles/light machine guns shot down US aircraft during their divebomb were celebrated and even made into songs in Vietnam.

You're acting like the US couldn't actively fight 3 other wars while Korea and Vietnam were going on... and no, the north got straight up smoked militarily considering the defensive position more than made up for any technological advantages or size difference. Also the battles the South lost? Should we also count the battles China lost to Japan in ww2? Get out of here with that nonsense. 🤣

It's not until I got the good fortune to study in the US did I learn that the chinese army in Korea suffered 8 to 10x the casualties. It made a lot of sense when you are trying to swarm tanks using soldiers with satchel charges, but we didn't think of it because we were not taught to think independently.

Yes, SA is important, especially since the USAF brass 'de-emphasized' air to air combat in between Rolling Thunder and Linebacker because 'it was too dangerous' to learn how to push a plane to it's limits (nevermind silly stuff like dodging SAMs or pulling lotsa Gs to get on the tail of a bandit). Combine that with the F4's rather crappy radio AND the very cluttered airwaves with hundreds of aircraft all over Southeast Asia all using the same channel to communicate, along with the 'promoting of pilots out of transport and tanker aircraft into the cockpits of F4s headed for the deadliest piece of airspace in the world---sounds like a recipe for trouble.FORTUNATELY, later in the war, the 'higher ups' allowed experienced pilots (and in some cases, experienced squadrons) back into theater as well as resolving the SA issue. Ed Rasimus called it 'pilots flying fighters vs fighter pilots'.

It’s absurd that it took until almost 1973 for Nixon to finally release B-52s to attack NV. We pussy-footed for seven years with the casualties to prove it. And once the NV saw what the B-52s could do, they came to the negotiating table. There is a common misconception that we hammered the North for years and years but the political leadership was more interested in sending messages than winning.

Người Mỹ rất giỏi trong việc đánh giá, phân tích những thành công và thất bại của họ một cách nghiêm túc và tỉ mỉ để rút ra bài học cho mình.

It's a 16 minute video that started 15 minutes ago and you commented before it even finished so how's it great if you haven't watched it?

@@Xiodot I understand, I have patreon as well. Comment over there. Didn't say so. Let them answer for that. I just like these comments that predetermine a video before they ever watch it.
