Depends on where the US carrier located 😅

You can tell us about the destroyer Donald Cook and the Su-24 in the Black Sea. Why did the entire crew quit?

@@user-vd2ry5ou8v BullSh*t!!!

Imagine their response, if we do NOT respond! Haha. “Ok, fly over….We are still going to win. How many people like to play the game, when you have stopped playing the game? Roll the dice 100x in Monopoly. Buy every property. I stopped playing after I put hotels on BoardWalk and Park Avenue because I know that I am going to win”.

And, who cares about the Russian ‘bear’. I lived there. It was a great country, when I moved there. I remember 19:30 on election day, and fireworks. I said, “I thought the elections ended at midnight”. She said, “He already knows he won”. I said, “He knew THAT, 16 years ago”. She cross-eyed me, “WHAT?!”…….”Nothing, мишка”. Quit playing the game. Give them nothing to work with. I love to talk trash. The minute somebody stops replying, I get angry, then go to sleep. By the way, we used to sing a lullaby, that describes a wolf (Americans, because we smile/show our teeth), stealing babies from their Mother……if people were more familiar with the cultures of their opponents, America might have prevented a lot of casualties throughout the decades. What is YOUR OPINION, Navy?

How often did US/NATO aircraft or ships follow Russian navy ships? Was it ever done on a tit-for-tat basis? I have never served in any military role and I find all this insight from those of you who have served absolutely fascinating.

@@denisekennedy3099we followed or observed them, same as they did us. It was routine stuff. There was a time when the USS kitty hawk a conventionally powered US super carrier ran over a nuke Russian sub

@@denisekennedy3099 US and UK nuclear submarine used to trail soviet nuclear submarine waiting them directly on exit from their homeport!!! Above the surface, if there was something interesting or warning NATO, thanks to aircraft carriers they were tracking it by greater distance. Another deadly game played, as done with submarines, was to have an old almost ineffective allied ship, usually a Gearing destroyer underwent Fram II modernization, staying in the wake of carrier officially in case of plane crash or man overboard, but in reality to be hit by taylor made soviet torpedo following the unique wake of an aircraft carrier! Crazy times, not crazy as now with Putin, which is hard to understand if he is mad or a wonderful poker player caged in his own propaganda of a Great Russia...

We got permission to moon the bears on my LST’s flight deck in the early 80’s.

This is hilarious. Did Soviet naval crews do anything similar?

Or the Russians showing them Playboy magazines...

@@user-qu4ey5yy3f Not comparable at all. Apple and oranges. Besides, if you say the same thing over and over again to someone (at the same occasion) I guess that person would think you are quite tirening to listen to...

Our country doesn't whine wars. We win them.

Our military is constantly "doing", winning? that's up for debate.

many would say we haven't won a war since WW2.

With a terse message: "maybe it's best if you just go home"

Not unheard of. There's a "team mentality" between the two countries, but as individuals, we all understand the "other guy" just wants to do their time and go home to their wife and children just like all the rest of us.

I'm English, so have no bias either way, but the truth and the facts are all that matter. Why do so many Americans, claim the Russian SU-57, is nothing but junk, that relies on washing machine chip technology, with the RCS (radar cross-section) of a Jumbo Jet? While the truth is, they've no idea what the RCS of any military aircraft, is, as they're always kept classified, so, really, what is that all about? But even more stupidly, they never ask any of the obvious questions, either, (as they all always just assume so much). Questions like, how can the F-22, or F-35's detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft, from BVR (beyond visual range)? Yet if they had just asked that one, really obvious question, then maybe, they'd start to understand that today's reality is nothing at all like they think! Seemingly the Americans don't even understand, that stealth alone, defeats high-frequency (short wave), radar, by absorption and deflection, but it does not defeat low-frequency (long wave radar). Therefore, to detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, can be done with long-wave radar, (but it must also be enhanced), to remove all background clutter for targeting purposes. So regardless of the aircraft's RCS (we read the Americans believing means so much), when they're being detected, tracked and targetted by long wave radar, they're far from stealthy, and they just light up, and they stand out like a beacon in the night. It also seems, that these Americans we always read talking their juvenile understanding of these military aircraft that they don't even know, that, neither the APG-77 radar in the F-22, or the APG-81 radar in the F-35, have any kind of long wave radar, (hence, they can't detect any enemy stealth aircraft from BVR). So, just think about that, and what it actually means? This is also a fact, the US air force will be fully aware of, only it seems the reality is, when the F-35 radars were being designed 13 years ago, there were no other stealth aircraft to think about as a potential threat! So, obviously, we must ask, just what do the F-22 or the F-35, actually have available to them, to detect enemy stealth aircraft from BVR? They have AWACS, (that can transfer all targetting data to the F-22 - F-35's in real time). Only, that's not possible today. And this is why actually understanding any potential adversaries real abilities, becomes extremely important, critical in fact. As, on the other hand, we find this Russian SU-57 rubbish (the Americans all claim), is equipped with a 5th generation radar, (with enhanced long-wave radar), their new Byelka (2band) radar used in SU-57. They can detect, track, and target enemy stealth jets from BVR, and very easily today. Russia has designed, and developed, the first L-Band fighter radar we've ever seen. They've embedded L-band AESA radars into the leading edges of the wings. The L-band AESA radar "data" gets processed in real time (through extremely powerful Russian computers), being significantly enhanced, removing all background clutter, seeing them perfectly able to detect, track, and engage enemy stealth aircraft from BVR. This new Russian radar technology, along with its very impressive range parameters, and it's jamming ability (over very large areas) make this aircraft deadly to all other aircraft types. (But according to the Americans), it's just Russian rubbish, right?. They can also detect, track, and target enemy stealth fighters, long before they enter Russian airspace, (from much greater distances today), with "real-time" data from all those massive Russian ground (long wave stations), that are all protected with the networked S-400 defensive system. Russia's new (2band) radar, covers all frequencies across all channels, used for tracking, targeting, and also for jamming (over large areas). It's part of Sh121 multifunctional integrated radio electronic system (MIRES) on board the SU-57. We should also understand, that Russia tested this new radar suit in the SU-35's, so they also have the option of fitting this radar into the SU-35's. Seeing the SU-35 at no disadvantage against either the F-22/35. As although the SU-35 can be detected, tracked, targeted and shot down from BVR by the US stealth fighters, the SU-35 equipped with this new radar is just as able to detect, track, target and shoot down the US stealth fighters from BVR. Seeing the all-important, huge Russian advantage, in BVR missile range, plus the excellent manoeuvring, neither the F-22/F-35 have, as more than critical, (if you're going to avoid simply being blown out of the sky). The truth is, this new Russian 5th generation radar, design, has very clear potentials, to provide genuine shared multifunction apertures, with applications including... Search, track, and destroy, missile mid-course guidance, against low signature aircraft, identification of friend or foe with secondary surveillance radar. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters at long ranges. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of L-band AEWC - AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges. Passive angle tracking and geolocation of hostile (i.e. Western) IFF and SSR transponders at long ranges. High-powered active jamming of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters. High-powered active jamming of satellite navigation receivers over large areas. High-powered active jamming of L-band AEWC-AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges. High-powered active jamming of guided munition command data links over large areas. [Effectively, and completely, neutralizing the USA's use of AWACS for their detection]. The Tikhomirov NIIP L-band AESA radar, is an extremely important strategic development, and it's a technology which once fully matured and deployed in useful numbers, will render narrowband stealth designs like the F-22 & F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and many, UAVs, as highly vulnerable to all flanker variants equipped with such radars. But, wait, It's just Russian crap? Also, just what have the Americans ever seen the F-22 do? Well, other than flying over a beach, on a KZfaq video? Absolutely nothing! So what is that all about?

And BTW we have Russian aircraft approaching us every day, there is nothing we or anyone else can do about it, and we did it all by ourselves, by stupidly flying our aircraft toward Russia, and after we agreed to do that no more! So our own fault. Well actually, it's your fault, as all this country does is what you order it to do, and that's soon going to change, thank God.

You people are the problem against the whole world today, yet we read you all sat in these comments with seemingly no idea about any of this and NO IDEA, of this backlash happening across all Europe today, against all of you. You only have support of our governments, none of the people, and every pro US government in Europe are being taken down one country at a time, even here in the UK our Washington puppet government has zero chance of reelection.

Great old monster of a bird, still in use with a couple of countries I believe

My dad worked at McDonald Douglas in St. Louis where they built the F4 and F15s he loved them both

Use to be a jet mech and worked on A LOT of F-4’s while stationed in Guam. Good ole P&W j-79’s. If my memory serves me correct, same engine as on the B-52’s and even the f-111. Loved the f-4

All there doing is to study our response time and methods.(opinion)

@@jameswhitman8710 it’s left over from the Cold War, we watch them they watch us

Brilliant. I bet the Soviet/Russian pilots were laughing their heads off and had a hard time getting anyone to believe them if they didn’t photograph or film it. Great story, thank you.

Well put. I just find the opportunities for mis-interpretations these intentional close encounters present to be unjustifiable on BOTH sides. One screw-up and we could be looking at a nuclear exchange. As the world situation intensifies, it's not wise, no, not one bit..

The jet would go faster than sound.

When we were rigging the Soviets, it was common to have guns tracking us, and them shooting flares "in our general direction". Oranges from box lunches could mysteriously fall from free fall chutes during on-top shots. We never did figure out how that occurred.

@@jimtownsend7899 We came across two Soviet subs tied to a tender while transiting the Med. We descended rapidly and dropped a flare on the bubbles of one of the subs getting underway. The tender lowered a lifeboat and went to retrieve the flare. It was fun to watch.

What Russian fleet? A large part of it lies on the seabed. And was sent there by a country that does not even have a navy.

@@zenon7094imagine the Americans having lost to goat herders wearing sandals riding donkeys and armed only with a rifle in Afghanistan 😅 They didn’t even have boots, helmets, drones, tanks, artillery, navy or airforce. It took two decades to replace one group of terrorists with the same group of terrorists 😂

@@zenon7094 Where did you hear this nonsense? Corrupt media? Well done. The Majority of the Russian navy is intact and serves in pacific and Atlantic.

Besides what zenon... speaks of, your confusing Battle Groups with FLEETS. To see an actual fleet all within the same area is talking a "D Day" scenario. As far as BG to BG, there is no argument, because there at this time is no comparison whatsoever. Russia or even the USSR has never had a Carrier Group b/c they have never owned a Carrier as referenced here. Japan, sure. Russia, N - E - V -E - R, ever.

@@artimustrieste1480 Both Russia and USSR have different military doctrine which is not focused on fleets, since its not locked by the water as the US. USSR had 5 or 6 aircraft carriers. Russia possesses 1. @zenon7094 Ukraine destroyed several patrol vessels in the Black Sea. What fleet are you talking about? The majority of vessels including large fleet of nuclear subs is located in the northern region, Baltic and Pacific region.

The information given is already known by the Russians. In fact, there is more information available to the public sector in books that would surprise you. One publisher that comes to mins is Jane's. And they cover the gamut. And don't forget that we have the same knowledge level on them.
