That's the whole reason why NATO runs exercises. Just a few years ago the US Navy "lost" an aircraft carrier to a French sub in a naval exercise. That one did make the news. Covering up failures is the worst thing you can do. Notice how the US air defenses learned nothing and failed even worse the second time.

Hi Recky, the Vulcan could actually fly at 63,000+ft they stayed down at 56,000ft as the Russians didn't have anything that could get higher. The USAF found a solution to the problem......They stopped inviting the RAF. Btw, check out one or two clips of "the Vulcan Howl", the engines on full power produce a noise like a banshee, and it feels like the air is being ripped apart. Also, Mark Felton manages to uncover stories from WW2 that no-one else does.

I’m proud that the Brits never let the cat out of the back. They are our allies after all.

What is scary is that we knew they were coming and still let it happen! The Soviet Union definitely would not have given us any warning

Have a look for the Vulcans only active missions, then the longest bombing raids ever. Search for Operation Black Buck during the Falklands War, the mental gymnastics to plan to get one bomber over Port Stanley is mind-boggling. It still is the longest raid, with the airborne support originating from the same base as the Bomber.

Remember England invented both radar and sonar. The only shared the tech with the US when WWII was under way and just prior to Pearl Harbor, The site there was brand new and was ignored by brass on Dec. 7 as we expected a flight of bombers from CA. Nothing on the scale of the assault but our techs were still learning to read the returns.

Recky, I would really like to see you and Carol react to “How America makes Britain Look Like a Small Village” by Lawrence Brown of Lost in the Pond. I realize you are in Sweden, not Britain, but this is the BEST video to show how big America really is. You will both enjoy it.

The Vulcan was an extraordinary plane.

I was completely unaware that this had happened. Apparently almost all Americans also were in my same boots. Things were so scary back then that I think I’m glad I didn’t know or I would’ve been much more worried about a potential Soviet attack.

so the birds find the prey the Vulcan was a first strike nightmare for anyone anywhere

I just love the way Brits take the piss.

Who else would you trust to this level? Testing your ultimate last line of defence? Probably best to ask a good friend.

I was lucky enough to see a Vulcan air display some years ago. The 'howl' is something else! Sadly, there are none left now that still fly.

There is film of a Vulcan doing a barrel roll which was then restricted to normal flight .

Another great one Recky. This one has me chuckling. Our Vulcans weren't allowed to operate at their highest levels. I heard a tale I heard & hope is true (but I am Very doubtful it is). Apparently the Vulcan which landed in NY wasn't even noticed until it had landed & radioed in asked which hanger he could park his Vulcan in. We ran rings around the US here. The 2nd time we played a really sneaky trick. We changed tactics. This is the whole point of military mock engagements. Learn your faults. Learn from your enemy. Adapt to overcome the foe

Agree, the only way you know if something works is to test it. Good react.

@randalparks9648 28 күн бұрын

Maybe the Brits used the "Hush A-Boom" from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons show so nobody noticed! (I can't explain Rocky and Bullwinkle. Look up some of their old cartoons)

Like you, Recky, I think this was a good idea. You can’t fix it if you don’t know it’s broken. I think the reasons for keeping them secret were two fold. 1) We couldn’t let Russia know, because they hate(d) the U.S., and could possibly do something really stupid. 2) We were in the Cold War, and most Americans would have freaked out. I’m old enough to remember “duck and cover” drills at school. All classes would get down under their desks, and cover our heads. I remember thinking it was kinda dumb to “hide” from a nuke. I knew why we had them, but if one hit really close you’d be a burnt rotisserie chicken under your desk.

The whole point of NATO exercises to test tactics and strategies. Show up what works and what doesn’t, so that we can adapt or remove whatever proves ineffective. I think people forget these days that no matter how many smart systems we have, in war people will be killed. Our enemies have not sat idle developing their own smart systems. These exercises are insanely complicated to plan, and massively expensive to run, but I’d rather lose money testing our equipment and plans, than lose countless lives should a war break out because our militaries relied upon untested theories and assumptions.

As long as lessons were learned America should feel no shame. The important thing is you DID test your defenses and found opportunities for improvement. Let's not forget, these exercises were planned, the US knew those planes were on their way. In a real conflict there will be no warning and no time to prepare.
