I feel like business insider of whatever they are calling themselves now is just a combined version of different videos that they already released and putting it into a new video and giving it a new title

unsung hero's...dont get the amount of recognition they truly deserve

This video was a series of previous videos combined into one. But even then, goes to show how much work is put into things like maintaining aircraft, creating new aircraft, training future pilots and carrying out exercises to prepare for a real life combat situation. Much respect to all those serving in the military for their hard work and commitment to protecting their country and allies abroad.

These warplanes are on another level. It's fascinating to see everything unfold. To the ones reading this comment, just know that you are all blessed.

The us marine corps on its own is bigger than our entire Air Force army and navy combined here in the U.K.

Working as civilian contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan 2006 thru 2012 I always LOVED getting an opportunity to travel in the Osprey. When those huge wings rotate into forward travel the acceleration G's you feel in the cabin is awesome!

The F35 is impressive but my favorite fighter is definitely the F22 Raptor.

The Military Industrial Complex rules the world.

I hope that all these incredible machines will be used in training missions and not in combat wars.All the staff working on these amazing planes deserve our respect.

People dont realize the F35B essentially gives Japan aircraft carriers again (they are technically not "allowed" to have them). They can be deployed from much smaller "helicopter" carriers and have give immense more capability then the outgoing harrier.

Former machinist here. There's a lot more work in making those wierd and precisely shaped airplane parts than you think because you can't weld or cast aluminum. You have to start with a block of metal and cut it down until you get the part. Most of the material goes in the recycle and robot cutting machines do most of the work but it might take a semi-skilled worker all day to make 100 VERY SIMPLE parts while the bigger structural parts we did often took three guys all day to make a couple dozen. This is why airplanes are so expensive.

These videos are titled like a Tutorial 😂 Yes, I do have 44 billion and was just thinking how I can spend them on warplanes 😂🙏

Really a interesting doc..... Awesome ❤

may the world be peaceful without war

Good to see al these very well trained young people with good values behind all that equipment

Those pilots, men and women are awesome. They are talented, smart, courageous, and selfless. They are trained to protect our country and to rescue those who need help.

Lockheed Martin ✌👏🗽

The F-35B is the most essential component of our broader strategy in securing the pacific. A stealth fighter, fleet defense and strike fighter, deployable from a network of many tiny, faster ships is the only viable naval aviation deployment strategy moving forward. Super carriers are too large and vulnerable to sail within 400 miles of China ground-based anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, in wartime. These ships can sail closer and can spread the power over larger areas. They are smaller, cheaper, harder to track, and as a distributed system, if one leaves for repair, you don’t lose an entire limb of our forces… The carrier can act as the center of the hive, of the distributed system. Moreover, carriers can then shift their operations to larger, heavier aircraft for long-range strike, interdiction, surveillance. AEWACs, refueling, logistics, etc,,,,

I saw the first iteration of the A-10 in 1976. (Won't say where) It was so new the flight crew covered the cockpit so Soviet satellites couldn't see inside. Ironically, it was the Army/Marines who lobbied to keep the A-10 in the inventory because of its infantry support capabilities.

Bruhh...it's next level documentary...great.

so nice, that airman is like "it's just a click of the button" for almost every maneuvers. Forgets to mention there are thousands of buttons, and that you have to press the right one at exactly the right speed and altitude

Good doco!

If the 10s are old build new ones. I grew up watching them fly over low and it's awesome. They have saved tons of our peoples lives on the ground

amazing vehicles but the fact that the pentagon has yet again failed an audit is NOT anything we as a nation should celebrate. We spent more on our military than the next 7 countries combined. We homelessness, people without healthcare but sure let's line the pockets of the Lockheed, Boeing and Raytheon.

The us is top dog in military and have been for years.

I'm really proud of the GREAT NATION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The $80 million figure is for the F-35A, the F-35B variant has a substantially increased cost.

GOHEL is the perfect name for the weapons operator on the GHOST RIDER C130

I like that it can go 25 percent farther AND 25 percent longer!

A-10 warthog is a plane of its own and cheap.

14:56 Is that rust on the refuel coupling?

how? your fed takes money out of accounts from public's money

warthog is a beast, one machine you do not want to see if your on the receiving end…

Damnit I love the warthog, but the C-130 Ghost. Is 💯 bad ass. For sho. !

This is a dumb question, but if the age of the A10 is an issue, can't they just make new A10 aircrafts? I agree close-air support is a key asset the plane provides that the F35 isn't really designed for.

so now working out this video is at least a year old the a-10s did get heavily updated and are here to stay a little longer its a great airplane maybe the best for supporting ground troops and its a tank buster a10 is awesome

The legendary flying tank.

The flying tank vs the flying Ferrari.... thats what a pilot told me once when I asked him which one he liked flying better lol

raining 155's from the sky -- i hope people don't miss that bit lol they are pre-loading and raining artillery shells with precision -- do you know what that does to the target lol just look up what one shell does when fired by ground artillery [its our favorite highlight to show on our channels on youtube]

Keep the A-10 Warthog ❤

Why no range-finder to the ground on Ospreys, as a safety feature or crew tool when landing?

Weapons officer Cpt. Rushi Gohel.. what a fitting name 😂

🛩👏🌍 It's reassuring to see these incredible machines being utilized for training purposes rather than in actual combat. The dedication and hard work of the staff involved in the development and operation of these planes deserve our utmost respect. Understanding how the US Military allocates its budget for warplanes sheds light on the complex dynamics of defense spending. I'm intrigued to learn more about the fascinating world of military aviation and its impact on the business landscape. Great video! 🎥🔍💼

Best when covering CAP/CAS missions over Oregon. You can never first guess an Oregonian.

to be fighter pilot is not easy need also hard eggs ! allways under risk ! they are courage men !

I think drones are more cost efficient without the limitation of human body. Just attached a program mission incase connection lose.

Very end of the doco is about the AC-130 and rules of engagement. Last ground feature ID'd from above is a new skate park. Commander says "Skate or Die". I hope those aren't the rules of engagement. Ha.

🤯🇺🇸💰 The comparison of the US Marine Corps to the entire UK Air Force, Army, and Navy combined is certainly striking. It highlights the vast difference in military capabilities and resources between the two countries. This comment raises questions about defense spending and the allocation of resources. It also sparks curiosity about the strategic considerations and priorities of each nation. The comparison invites further exploration into the dynamics of global military power and the impact it has on international relations.

Long live the A-10, The grunt of the sky world!.. 💪🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

That plane a U F O

😂"A lot of people just think...you show up- you fly... then have a beer, and go home " cracked me up😅😂😂😂!

You own skies. You own the battle field. The USA never skims on Aircraft for that reason. 🇺🇸

And yet that budget will continue to increase as multiple companies are now price gouging the parts and overall have every bit of information to fix the equipment that the pentagon does not have, don't be surprised if the f35 turns into the similar situation of the f22 just becoming too expensive

Did anyone notice that the CrewChief tailgunner @ 38:28 kinda looks like Leonardo DiCaprio's younger brother? 😊

48:52 Yeah, but show us how it works. It seems complicated.

watching this in case i happen to buy an F35 some day :D

As much as I love the A10, us ground troops need to let it go. Our future wars will not be like Iraq and Afghanistan. the next enemy will have capable antiaircraft capabilities.

Attending a wedding years ago near Hartford my wife booked us a room at some no tell motel that was pretty cringe to which I said "You book us a room at the end of an airport runway? Good one Hun, Not!" At Sunrise we were awakened by the a loud roar and the place shaking. I looked out the window to see 5 A-10s lined up for take off while blasting the place with jet wash, In Awe of this I took back my grumblings, "How cool is this!"

I agree it's nbout quantity but quality

So we all gonna act like we ain’t see Bokeem Woodbine measuring that pilots helmet huh😂 I ain’t mad at cha..

Need to have contacts as quick as possible.

Wow 😮😮😮❤❤❤

No wonder there's a lot of types of Taxes, gotta gather all the money you can to keep all these tech companies & fleets running. I admire this enthusiasm for advancing in all sorts if knowledge & technology, I just hope it'll be used for the good of humanity.

turn the A10 into a one way remote operated drone: radar absorbent coating. counter measures. explosive ordinance penetrator body. Metal Storm Main weapon. Remove the pilot. keep the rest. It will be the Death Hog. operated by a pilot that is remote using a F35 similar helmet for piloting.

Let me play you the song of my people. BRRRRT!

All I can say is: God Bless The USA! From The UK.

Wings of liberty . Worriors of the GOOD SIDE of the force .

i like that they made a point of getting the female pilots interviewed too

Well basically Understood, How Hard & How Long U Could Become an Expert in that Field. > Toronto, Canada

Idol

Australia In 4 Pieces Boss Man 2 Had Enough Wants Too Build Boss 3 Please Too Keep Earth Going!!!!!

In this vid some of the guys were saying that the hardest part about flying the f35 is absorbing all the information like where to look and what to do as different situations arise and what instruments to monitor etc. A really good gamer should be able to absorb multitudes of information relatively easily lol, the f35 simulator is basically a rlly good life like video game lol. So if you want to be a fighter pilot in the future, get yourself or your kid an Xbox like the one I built in my thumbnail😊. The military or the government need to Stop phasing out all the other aircraft for the F35 it's going to create problems in the future and cost a lot more. I can understand phasing some aircraft out but they are phasing out way too many tried and true aircraft. IDC how good the f35 is. Everyone always says it's the best plane they've ever flown(almost like they were coached into saying that) but it never needs to get close enough to dogfight so go figure. I could go on all day about reasons to Not phase out other aircraft simply because they think the f35 will be able to do everything those aircraft can better. Guess what we have the f35 now, o ok so were good to phase out the c5 and the b2 then 😆.

Will honour that.

170,000 Ib = 85 us short tons or 75 uk long tons

A10 pilots are Attack Pilots not "Fighter Pilots"

By being corrupt, that’s how. Slash the defense budget by 50% and actually invest in working families.

I understand the original design of the F22 had insane capabilities but it made the plane too expensive. I want one of those, too expensive, F22s

wow

B is too expensive for the next Top Gun

Simulators are very important, they allow you to piss yourself quietly, and #2 is only a handful away.

Id say dont retire the a10 it old but effective even in 20 more years or make a a10 30 worthawk

Canada needs to do the same

According to the tech we have these warplane we see is so slow compared to the ones nobody* HAS

ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!

These pilots could've been in formula 1 making millions but opted to serve their country. I'm so grateful for their decision to serve.

😮The F22 Raptor fighter jet was for ways better in dog fightings in the sky.The Pentagon budget should of including of making more F22 Raptor fighter jets.

is it just me or the narrator sounds like Lew from Unbox Therapy ?

GIVE THE DOD MORE MONEY RAHHHHH I LOVE THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

$400,000 helmets times 350 planes. Wow!!!!

the most powerful military in the world.

Ukraine has been lobbying for the A-10's for some time now. If they are now retiring some of these deadly warbirds then give these planes to them.

Keep a-10 they history n they still fly good nothing wrong with them

Retiring the A10 is not a good idea 😢

With the A-10s why not just make new versions of it with more advanced features

Lmao were they using DCS during the air-to-air refueling sim?

Put a bath tub in the F-35, and then give it the green light. So long as it is still provided close-ground support, of course. But the survivability of those you task with mission, that ought to be absolute-priority. The fact cost is even mentioned is a bit revealing, but at the same time, not surprising. Government has never given a damn about cost, they only use this excuse to win support from voters.

Between the A-10ll and the F-35ll is that the stealth will not help the F-35ll in close combat because it's close and if it is going out for ground support I would hope it would be in Murder Spec meaning all hard points and indoor fully armed F-35ll like a A-10 would be also. So stealth doesn't help! Those F-35's will get blown out of the sky over the A-10...

I can't think of better investments than deterring a ruinous great power war.

But what I want to know is who designs them?

So are we not going to talk about the $1.5Trillion, yes that's $1,500,000,000,000 spent on the F-35 alone?
