Royal Marine Reacts To FA-XX - The Next American Fighter Jet

A pilot who was qualified on both the F15 and F22 said that a dogfight between the two was, "like a boxing match between two world champion heavyweights, but one of them just happens to be totally invisible."

I recommend Sandboxx! He’s a great defense industry journalist and a lot of his videos cover the next generation of airplanes, missles, etc!

The f35 helmet has the see through airframe you mentioned. British tempest 6th gen should be rolled out soon for its maiden flight. I love the older jets like The Lightning intercepter and my favourite has to be the mighty Gr4 Tornado

Check out the time an F22 intercepted two Iranian F4's that were trying to chase down a US drone. The F22 hung around them long enough to visually verify their ordinance from less then 100 yards away without the F4's knowing they were there until the F22's literally pulled up next to them like a Nissan Altima trying to race a soccer mom in a minivan. The F22 pilot just told the Iranian pilot, "You should go home". Go home they did.

The F-35B can land vertically and we use to have the Harrier which was the first to be able to hover and vertically take-off and land

There is a group here on YouTube that plays DCS doing historical combats with modern tech. I watch them take the F-22 right up behind a 4th gen fighter, fly in formation with it, and dance around behind it for a while. They call themselves The Grim Reapers - Beautiful Humans in Sexy Machines.

There's actually 3 more jet fighters (in my knowledge) that can land and takeoff vertically, the Soviet Yak-38 and Yak-141, the British Harrier (AV-8 on US service) and the latest one, the F-35

WW1 biplanes like the Fokker Dr1 and the Sopwith Camel along with WW2 planes like those he Horten HO-229 and the ME-262, P51 mustang, Spitfire, are fun also, something to consider :)

Im at the south end of fort hill airforce base as I type this. If an f35 is near enough for you to hear it, you are not the target. These things are incredible and the flight patterns and maneuvers they can achieve are super fun to watch and awe inspiring at times. I think someone else mentioned this but that 360 view you were talking about is in the helmets of the f35 and f22s. I think the Apache helicopters have something similar too. But all have thermal imaging and all sorts of information on their hud. 🎉

Hey luke, at 8:26 that idea is already real. It’s a capability of the F-35. The F-35 has multiple cameras (I think 6 to be exact) all around the outside of the aircraft linked with the pilots helmet. When used, the cameras take in the outside image of the aircraft and feed it through the pilots visor, making the body of the plane transparent and showing the pilot the outside image through the aircraft. And there’s no need to look at the heads up display or cockpit screens is bc all the essential data for flight is displayed in the pilots visor as well. Actually, there isn’t a heads up display in the F-35 bc it’s been replaced WITH the helmets visor. Each helmet costs $400,000.

The trouble with the f-35 development was mostly about parts compatibility between the A B and C models, or more accurately lack of parts compatibility which lead to huge cost overruns and delays.

3:00 would also perfectly fit into Bioshock as is thanks to the genre of dieselpunk

Suggestions: remake the reaction to the video "top 7 badass plane of the us military". Also take a look at the UK's 6th generation Tempest fighter.

It will NOT be unmanned, there are too many digital risks with having a completely unmanned air force. As a pilot that deals with autopilot systems, and avionics I can tell you we have major reliability issues even with all of the super stringent quality control measures that the FAA has in place for certifications of systems.

The videos you post about military weaponry are incredible. These weapons are only what they let us know about... We can only imagine what we can't see or know about.

Do one on the f14 , the only fighter better than the f15 before the f22a. Btw the f35 helmet has the tec you said . Pilots can look through the ground/floor or any part of the plane. So the tech is already being used.

Okay, so I've been following this pretty closely for a few years and I believe that these will be optionally manned. I would wager that the reason for that being is that they're already developing. Autonomous drones such as the loyal wingman. I believe I read or watched somewhere that the idea would be to have the NG AD fighters optionally manned with backup drones such as the loyal wing man so that in theory we can have a one-man squadron

Im glad i came back to you channel after a while, ive loved your vids.

The difference between 5th gen and 6th seems to be that the 6th gen fighter will have even smaller radar cross section plus massively improved networking and integration of new technologies. Things like data sharing with other military systems and weapons platforms, etc would enable much more granular control over the battlespace. Things like the Pilot's helmet ability to display the aircraft's integrated cameras and sensors enables really improved situational awareness for the pilot. (Add more automation of the aircraft systems and you leave the pilot more free to focus on other tasks.)

The closest I got to an airplane was a warthog. It flew over my head when I was out camping at tree Heights. Wow amazing
