Amateur hour

Funny how it offends the ears, does't it? I mean you can't take anything else in the video seriously after that, Reminds me of the WKRP Chi Chi Rodriguez bit (look it up, funny).

Glad I wasn't the only one being bothered!

Lol smalls

It was decided that MAD was unnecessary in the P-8A as it's capabilities are replaced by a range of other systems in the US, UK and Australian P-8's.

Subs are very vulnerable when surfaced. They are not well-armored, and if their hull is damaged they may not be able to submerge. Their safety relies on not being detected. You're thinking of launching AA while submerged, but such weapons must first acquire their target before firing. Which cannot be done with the boat submerged.

Russian Kilo class and German (I don't remember the exact class) have that capability; they're armed with MANPADS

@@Foxtrot_India - That's sensible, but you're aware that the sub would have to surface to use them, right? They would have to surface before the MANPAD could be deployed, and that takes time. During which they would be quite vulnerable.

@@cyberherbalist They'll threaten the MPA/helicopter once they're asked to surface

@@Foxtrot_India - in an active war situation, surfacing in the presence of an enemy aircraft with armed weapons would be fatal. They'd be sunk well before the MANPAD could be deployed. Staying submerged is vital.

Thanks

RAF does

Indian Navy has this

Australia - P-8a x12 (2 more ordered) UK - P-8a x 9 Norway - P-8a x5 New Zealand - P-8a x4 India - P-8i - (customiszed) version x12 Future operators Germany x5 order +7 are planned

plus sixteen ordered by Canada@@NighthawkNZ

So the UK is finally retiring the Nimrods? I have been to that base near Newquay that had Nimrods in 1974. We flew there from the Azores in a P3. I have a few pictures with a P3 parked next to some Nimrods.

The Nimrod was a very capable aircraft in the role.

Very interesting fact!

In fact India operates a specialised variant called Neptune yet they didn't even mentioned it or India's name at last at the user list although India operates 12 units and looking to buy 6 more.

@@Foxtrot_India India was included in the user list. Other than possessing a MAD what is the difference between western P8s and the P8I? If the MAD is it, you shouldn’t be surprised that Cold War era tech isn’t noteworthy. My grandpa hunted subs in the Cold War on the P3 which was of course equipped with a MAD. Radars are powerful enough to detect submerged subs now which is way more interesting than decades old tech.

No more Bullshit? The US is not prefect yes we have committed war crimes, yes we have done wrong, yes we are corrupts but we have something many don't Freedom, we can chose to get rid of our leaders and with the power of the people we can make change yea we may not be prefect but at least we strive to be. We taken the impossible task to do good for everyone which in itself has it own issues. While many say we don't have freedom forget the dramatic change we have every 4 we might be divided right now but we sure as hell can get united when need be. The P8 is a prefect example, we taken our ideals of freedom and reformed it form the old ideas like the P3, and like freedom we spread it around the world each country modifying to their own needs. We may look weak as a passenger plane but when need be we can turn in a submarine hunter, destroyer of navies. China and Russia has track record of harming others, Russian has taken Ukrainian again, my ancestral homelands, China has attacked India in the Himalayas and attacked the Philippines, Japan, Twain, and even as far as Argentina and other South American nations Argentina even sunk some apart of China's reckless fishing navy. They done great harm to environment and human health to slave labor camps in their home country and a plague call Covid-19 that ravaged the world, it's time they held accountable

Subs tend to hunt alone. They don't carry AA missiles.

@@cyberherbalist As of now....but who knows. Russians and chinese would be stupid not to try.

@@cyberherbalist Indeed they carry; especially some Russian Kilos

@@Foxtrot_India - News to me! But I'm no expert. What do they carry? Missiles launchable from submerged? Or are we talking MANPADs here?

@@cyberherbalist Manpads probably wouldn't have the range nor the height to reach a Poseidon. They would need something like the missiles from a Pantsir S1 or a TorM1 to be able to catch a Poseidon at least.

It’s sold very well internationally, so I doubt people would buy something that doesn’t work. Clearly a Bait comment

Anti ballistic missile

Fake missile, probably has a detection system similar to the moskva, and we know how that ended.

Robot ?

Indian navy also has this anti submarine aircraft to counter fast manufacturing of Chinese submarines India has bought 12 of them.

Proven in Ukraine? Missiles with electronics from the 1960s. 😂

@@OogaBooga997 How do you have anything?)))

@@user-kn4sr5we7q What?

@@OogaBooga997 Nothing good for you!)))

India bought P8 to counter Chinese submarine India can't compete right now with Chinese speed of building submarine So simple solution was buy P8

Lol

No it’s not. There are a lot of differences between the NG and Max series. Go back to the troll farm.

Except NATO. Otherwise, why do they complain so much about NATO expansion?

Russia is getting their buts kicked in Ukraine by US made weapons lol!
