When Russian SU-27 Tried To Shoot Down RAF RC-135 Spy Plane In 2022

"You got the target" *WW3 starts* "GODDAMIT BORIS I DIDNT MEANT TO ENGAGE"

[@Hamaviation3]

Lol

[@henryairconcepts2999]

In soviet Russia, the missiles prevent WW3

Having weapons is one thing... Having accurately working useful weapons is a whole other..

[@jade7631]

That’s not all that uncommon

[@mikeh.753]

​@@jade7631if the United States accepted a 100% failure rate of their missles I don't think it would be nearly so successful in combat.

[@jade7631]

@@mikeh.753 They aren’t. In the skies over Iraq, many of these missiles on Iraq’s Air Force failed. Don’t even get me started on Vietnam.

[@mikeh.753]

@@jade7631 I had no idea you had such in-depth knowledge of military hardware success and failure rates. I'm just going off of memories. So if you're referring Google like most people like to do, you might want to ask yourself who really owns Google and would or could they have a motive to publish misunderstanding information. I'm 59 and retired from the the department of defense/air Force as a civilian aircraft jet engine components machinist at the largest military jet engine maintenance and repair facility in the world. Yes Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I'm no expert but I worked on a daily basis with the military and failure rates were addressed on a monthly basis. If you've never done a FOD walk it's quite fun to do.

[@jade7631]

@@mikeh.753 Let’s change perspectives. How many air to air missiles were shot compared to how many aircraft were shot down.

[@hadorstapa]

The first missile went into orbit? That thing must be seriously overpowered! 17.5k mph to achieve low earth orbit. That's like Mach 25.

[@AbyssViber1028]

Some missiles are designed to climb up as high as possible while the booster is still hot. Once the booster runs out, the potential energy built up in the climb is converted into kinetic energy that the missile uses to basically fall on the target. Best example I can give you is the AIM-54 Phoenix.

[@hadorstapa]

@@AbyssViber1028 that sounds very powerful indeed, but what you describe is ballistic, not orbital. Orbital velocity takes so much more power than a ballistic trajectory.

[@AlejandroOni]

My brother in Christ, you are aware that in 1985, an F-15 EAGLE fighter was able to intercept and destroy a SATELLITE that was moving at 17,500 mph in actual space!

[@hadorstapa]

@@AlejandroOni Indeed it did, fired by Major Wilbert "Doug" Peterson. However, the missile he fired was not able to (and did not need to) achieve orbit. Only to intercept something that was in orbit 300 miles above his aircraft. It was part of the test programme in the race to make anti-satellite warfare possible, so it was an American satellite being shot down by an American fighter with every possible bit of information provided to make it achievable. It's incredibly difficult to do, not least because of the satellite's massive speed advantage. It can only be done from ahead of the satellite, because no such missile could catch a satellite from behind.

Hey Sergei! The exact reason American Pilots rule the skies. AlwaysStand🇺🇸💪🏻💪🏿💪🏽💪

[@thomasd9424]

I'm sure the Su27 pilot had a technical malfunction from his Superiors on returning to base.

[@muttman325]

Don't mess with Typhoon Ivan.

[@arsalanahmad3514]

Missile missed RC 135? lmao

[@yzho105]

Why is this not major international news?

[@lemieux-z8933]

Russians know what it's like to have their missile do stupid shit like Sparrows

[@awlyouneedtoknow9435]

😂😂😂

[@ossianx8752]

These Planes are tougher to shoot down than you think. The Ruskies are pretty good at electronic warfare but they are George Foreman versus the RAF’s Muhammad Ali let’s say ❤

[@MrJohnnydeath]

Don’t they repeat the order just to make sure they understand, crazy Ivan.

[@Jase29]

So close with what happened..

[@caesar1295]

Russian incompetence WOW and they have Nuclear bombs!

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Typical quality Russian armaments.

[@VTUGYT]

How the heck russians cant use their own missiles with high success rate and they are even exporting them😅, good thing India is now diversifying its need, largest weapons importer deserves better

[@The_Mimewar]

So, Russian firepower is old, or under equipped.

[@thierryperquin1148]

Back to cold war ?

[@doubleubee7523]

The fall of the Soviet Union did not end the war, they just no longer use that name. The East and the West have always been at war.

[@Thrdoal]

Has it ever truly ended?

[@uuxxuu5002]

Made in Russia missile no good

Hey man, why do you delete comments which contradict you? Huh, don't you have the guts to approach comments??

[@awlyouneedtoknow9435]

What? Are you serious? I didn't delete any comment. 😒😒 What did you say? What contradiction? Tell me. You must've used some bad language. Therefore, the youtube removed that comment itself. Tell me, what you were trying to say? Tell me here.
