the USS Zumwalt would probably destroy a Russian battlecruiser

The USS Zumwalt could probably destroy the entire Russian Navy and all of the tug boats that keep it moving lmaooo!

Smitty Werbenjaegermanjensen very very well said!😂😂😂

Battleships are shit. A quiet nuclear submarine can sink an entire carrier group, and Russia has some extremely good submarines. If a German diesel electric can sneak past U.S. ASW-Ships and get into position to fire onto an aircraft carrier (which it did during a wargame), a couple of Russian subs are gonna fuck any american boat up.

SpriteZero Xxx good thing the Americans have more subs than Russia.

Agreed

And those that add a ton of unedited footage of a ship to hit 10 minutes. Edit: and get ads for it

Then don't listen to them.

same

Meh doesn't bother me

These ships are undergoing the same kinds of growing pains every new class of ships goes through.

No. Tumblehome designs have been around for a hundred years.....there are reasons you don't use it is warships. There is no way on this design to eliminate the electronic interference between certain systems...you can use one or the other. Other ships in service around the world suffer this problem too. It comes from a cramped design. You can not fix having the VLS system mounted on the sides....where water can get right at them along with any kind of say collision damage. The list can go on but you get the picture. I might point out that the class is CANCELLED. Burke production is being extended as they can at least sail when the weathers bad.

There's got to be something to it to pour that much money in it. The engineers aren't exactly stupid.

Lol true

@@shawn97006 That isn't a factor or they wouldn't have invested so much money

Make sure to have lots of spares n mechanics on board😂

Blue screen of death

As soon as I heard the artificial voice I stopped the video, came to the comments to find this comment and voice my disgust, as well. I DON'T WATCH VIDEOS WITH ARTIFICIAL VOICED NARRATORS. Ever. Never. Not gonna do it.

This one is actually much better than others I've heard, but it isn't great

Randall MacDonald agree

Yep, I agree completely, if they can't be bothered to actually read it, then I can't be bothered to actually watch it.

Is this before, or after Discovery Channel turns the Zumfault into a crab boat?

the fishes will sink the zumwalt

Apparently not. Its hull design is supposedly very good in bad weather. I believe the reason that style of hull isn't really used is because if it takes on water it is likely to capsize

They test it in Alaskan seas and it did better that expected, it's just that it's way to expensive

Yeah it probably fashion over functional..

@@sdhtmt It's highly functional with the usual mechanical problems from a new design but with all the lastest outfits or can be outfitted with a verity of weapons. It's just highly expensive sort of like the F-22 they put a cap on that because it exceeded it's budget during design and manafacturing when we have planes already better than anything in the sky and the F-22s are straight overkill. That's what you got with the Zumalt only during it's design and manafacturing it took "doing to much" to new level

Actually opposite.. It's way more stable, that's one of the main aspects of ship building, its a battleship it had to stay afloat.

Carriers are not meant for facing Russia or China, they are meant for supporting America's endless "nation building" and "regime change" wars which support the Industrial Military Complex and insure its existence. People really need to pay attention to current events.

abc64pan , Actually you seem very uninformed on Naval Warefare, let me help you out, here are the basics. Naval Warefare can be divided into three essential missions. First is Sea Control, this historically has been perfomed by Capitol ships such as Battleships or thier more recent replacements, Aircraft Carriers but also can be performed by a variety of smaller surface combatants such as Cruisers or Destroyers, the idea is to establish sea dominance over a particular area extending both above and below the surface, typically perfomed by a task group acting synergetically . The Second Mission is Sea Denial, this has been primarily performed by Submarines but also sea mines and ground based bombers and even fast attack boats have performed this role. Finally support, this can be perfomed by just about any ship but has been most successful when performed by Carriers. Aircraft Carriers due to their size and flexibility generally can perform the Sea Control and Support much better then any other type of weapon system, which is why all Naviee want them. Now you know something about the subject matter, frankly I don't understand why some people usually Pacifist Liberals feel the need to comment on things they obviously have no knowledge of, I don't know anything about the Russian Ballet so I refain from offering my opinion on it but lack of facts just doesn't seem to stop you people, odd.

It's a early ship of its class, it's not gonna be a good one.

like the arleigh burk, tyconderoga, f-15, abrams, cobra, etc...?

Philip basler, you'll have to be specific, each weapon system you named have entirely different roles and that includes the Arleigh Burke class which is intended primarily for Area Air Defence. The Zumwalt was originally intended as a post Cold War era ground support ship. Due to the protracted time this ship was in development the Navy decided to test numerous new technologies on it and many seem to work great. However usually when a ship undergoes extensive redesighn, costs escalate. This is why I expect to see many new techonogies the Zumwalt makes use of in other future ships. Whether or not this was the best move by the Navy, only time will tell.

And dont forget, playing with their blue plastic guns too.

Not only do the deploy inflatable boats but they also sail past supporting civilians with a police escort!!

Ikr

"US Defense news" is probably some dot head kid sitting in his mud hut stealing video to put this crap together.

Norm T do you realize an aircraft carrier is the size of a town with a matching population. And as for stores from my knowledge it's simply afres, aka a ship board px

Cant wait for that to happen

Lmfao. Exactly right. Oh man. Thats great.

No joke! With all the electronic shit they have you would think they could spot a 600 ft cargo ship 50-100 miles away? How can you not notice and change course? Nuts! Somebody isnt awake!

@@richardschauf7373 Not a ship, a little container.

They're probably BB guns.

elcormoran1 that goes for Russias shit too.....

Combat with who? A guy driving a "technical" pick-up truck with a gun in the rear? When was the last time we faced an equally armed navy in combat, 1945?

That's kind of the point, isn't it? Systems like this deter other Navy's from attempting anything. However, that does not mean I support the system. I think its way over priced, the rail-gun system that was one of it's flagship weapon systems proved not to be cost effective, and the ship's seaworthiness is questionable. I think the Navy would have done better by purchasing more cruisers and updating its air fleets.

elcormoran1 /

elcormoran1 .and

Sounds like some other Russian ship I know only it needs 2 tugs to keep er going Cough cough Russian cough cough carrier cough

solid snake I was about to bring up the Russian aircraft carrier as well 😂

Vin496 well sayed👏👌✌️

I might be wrong but I think TASMs are already used extensively by subs for anti-ship warefare.

This ship is for attacking points of interest on land . It's not exactly a battleship . I mean it is but it's not for fighting other ships . It takes out our enemies important land targets .

@@stevenhembree6891 They advertised it as more than that, and paid for more than that

the us is now producing a new high tech cruise missile called the JASSM-XR and has a range of 1,000 miles

Dr Bendover yea they said that in Vietnam we don't need bullet's we have missiles

GPS means nothing unless you know where your looking.

global hawk through X Band Satellite Communication to a ship.

do you take your boyfriend's missile up your tailpipe Doc ?

SpursSpursSpurs Audere est Facere the type 45 destroyer is a British one, isn't it.

that was my thinking... what would happen if a very high wave takes on her starboard?

Ask California's resident clown Jerry Brown about billion dollar boondoggles.

Lol what’s a boondoggle

Iowa class battleSHIPS

Artem Ryapolov your in a fantasy world, hopefully you have nothing to do with procurement

They only made one the rest are cancelled now and its being towed to a scrap yard to be taken apert for it material for the new ship thats coming out

the kirov is designed to taken on ships its heavy armored 827ft in length during the cold War the Iowas class battleships were actually sent out with their own battle groups with 4 arleigh burkes and 2 Ticonderoga missiles hunt them down

Hm, didn't know, though the guy in the video said that it's heavily equiped with surface to air armaments 1:31, but it did have anti ship missles.

I agree, the shape goes against most hydrodynamic principles, just like the stealth fighter went against airodynamic principles, it looks like it would try to dive under huge waves encountered at sea, instead of riding over them... If this didn't try to sink it, it would definitely stop its forward progress cold... This looks to be a fairweather boat...

brit boy it's not that stealthy if we know about it

That's like me and you, you have a .500 magnum revolver. I have my .38 Spcl. revolver. But I'm quieter and can get the jump on you. Your big gun is useless if I attack first because chances are, I'll hit my target.

Pretty much whoever is spotted first and engages has the upper hand

Yup. Ther is still a "if this works" question.

I wonder if the Tug is also invisible to radar ???? - just asking ....

Tony Newitt lol I think it is

It's American made, what did you expect. The USS Ford, the F-35 need I say more!

Ad Mirer It's amazing you like to bring up the shaft issues with the zumwalt people seem to forget that Russia has an aircraft carrier that breaks down even more than the Zumwalt hell it needs a sea going tug just to sail next to it in case it does break down and that vessel was built in the 1980s and still breaks down police design wall is being fixed and it is being improved each time people seem to forget this is a state-of-the-art ship it's never been used before it's a new class of vessel so it's going to have some issues and people seem to not get that oh well you can't fix stupid you can't fix stupid that's all I got to say.

Dan the car man The thing is the US Military has a 665 Billion dollars a year to build a new fleet of F-35s and finish the F-22 Raptor fleet.

Jim Clarke that's exactly what I thought. The ironclads.

Jim Clarke Yes ! A monitor !

Looks a lot like one of those old flatirons, the ones before the electric models, I mean

@bob bobo monitor was a good fighting ship, It just wasn't sea worthy. Had they not left the ballistic shells on the dock. They could have sunk the maramack. Had they known how to use sloped armor. They would have been immune to Confederate guns. In return if Maramack knew they could up the powder change of they're guns they could have sank the monitor.

Ironclad

These aren't frigates, you are thinking of the littoral combat ships which have have matured into decent ships. This is a very large stealth destroyer.

+J. Wilson How so? Elaborate beyond these simplistic claims.

A U.S. Air Force official tells Popular Mechanics that, "the Air Force plans to upgrade all aircraft in question to Software Block 3F."

J. Wilson you don’t know how it will fight, so I suggest keeping your mouth shut until we use it.

Can you supply any links? Same with you Spooky where the navy has said this because i've watched lightning II's development and last i heard it's being tested still but from what i hear as of the Red Flag Wargames where it racked up a 20:1 kill ratio only losing 1 plane it's doing quite well. As well as being able to function as a secondary command and control asset based on the fact it's onboard computers where creating real time work simulations of the battle flow and was able work against them. Last i read there was also and article going along the lines of something like. Wargames are too easy for the Lightning II's. So i'm just curious about what information you both are looking. I didnt much like this plane either but so far the results that 1 trillion dollar plus funded seems to be working out. Oh yeah and lets not forget F-15s, F-16s BVR shot limit is 30 miles these shoot BVR 160 mile with their advance computers and avionics. They were so valuable in Red Flag based on their computers compiling data that legacy craft like F-16s, F-15s and F-22s request some of them stay on to do just that and only that after they ran out of munitions. Hardly sounds like junk. But have to wait to see more. I'm still on the fence. Especially now that the DOD is ordering 2,456 of them

?

I'm curious how you know rayo kill is Jewish? Also, he must have never served aboard a warship. If he did he would know that all shipboard controls have backups and local controls, plus damage control and non power requiring voice communications throughout the ship.

There is no radar in the world that can detect a Zumwalt until its to late. The Zumi would have launched it anti-ship attack long before any Russian or Chinese ship knew they had even been detected. The only kind of shots that Russian or Chinese ships will get off against a Zumwalt are "bearing only solution" shots. Basically they'll shoot their anti-ship missiles in the direction they see the Zumwalt's missiles coming from, if they have enough time after detecting the incoming missile strike. If the Zumwalt is firing stealthy missiles, they will not be detected until the final few seconds of flight and they would not have a chance to fire any anti-ship missiles back at the Zumi. If the inbounds are non-stealthy anti-ship missiles, they'll detect them as they come over the horizon approx 12nm and that will give the ship 1 minute to program and fire as many anti-ship missiles back at the Zumi as they can, I would estimate between 6 and 12 missiles would be successfully fired and that isn't close to as many as are needed to overwhelm the Zumwalt's defensive systems, but there is such a thing as a lucky shot too. If a missile were to leak through and actually hit a Zumi, of course it would kill many sailors and cause much damage, but the ship would likely survive. No navy does damage control better than the US navy.

"If a missile were to leak through and actually hit a Zumi, of course it would kill many sailors and cause much damage, but the ship would likely survive" good sir have you ever seen a P-700 Granit? (AKA SS-N-19 "Shipwreck") a single hit from those and it's game over for the zumwalt. the P-700 is so large it looks like a fighter jet with 750kg warhead compared to the harpoon's 200kg. the russian battlecruiser has 20+ of those missiles and it only needs one to decimate the zumi. A 1v1 end up zumi loosing. A strike group and coordinated attack must be employed to counter the russian Kirov-class battlecuiser

sTinger Can't hit what you can't see. The Russians will be hit before they even know there is a missile.

No, it is not the end. Then the second Russian cruiser has a target lock because they can build ten cruisers for the price of one Zumwalt. This is how the Russians took out German Tiger tanks with T34/85 tanks AND WON THE WAR!

@@georgeeverette3912 yes 10 t34/85 vs tiger

Problem zumwalt has 0 ammo for it and no misslies all it can do is ram and sink plus they only made one and cancelled the rest of them and the one built is now headed to to be scraped for the new warships coming up

SPOILERS!!!

Boys i think you missunderstood 2 things: 1. "Battlecruiser" are not battle cruiser, they're a underclass of a battleship. 2. The zum is huges and slow for a destroyer ,and as history show, slow and big targets are the way to go for battleship. Bonus: The zum dont even have a single missile in the end so....

good luck, you'll need it

It's doubtful the Russian battleship would ever detect a Zumwalt, so its doubtful the Russian would ever get a shot off that had any chance of hitting a Zumi. You can't hit what you can't see. This video said one thing that is true in every kind of modern combat; the side that sees the other side first and gets off the first shot usually wins

eddie money the amount of stupidity you just said is off the charts

swigity swooty Any when you think about it, all the countries that have these brand new ship designs brag about them such as the Germans and Japanese hyping up their new ships (bismark and yamato), yet they have a knack for being one of the largest targets in the water and no matter how much they tried to hide these prized ships, the enemy persistently hunted them down. If this ship was ever in combat, it would be one of the first targets and I would guarantee you that it wouldnt be hard to find with Russias technological advances the are coming up with.

eddie money If you listened to the video, the Russian radar, although powerful, is a neon sign to ships especially designed to stealth classifications. Having worked on radar systems anything (Including both ships) can be detected. Having fought in Vietnam it's usually young stupid kids who've never fought who brag about "this can defeat that." How brilliantly stupid anyone is who wants to see the next war.

Unless they have the best air defense systems , like Russia . It's one thing to launch your missiles , but it's another thing to get them there , and Russian air defense systems are far ahead of anything the US has . Same applies to your wonderful stealth aircraft . Their missiles still need to penetrate the Russian air defense systems .. . .

Waste of a comment

The use of the rail-gun was abandoned due to unresolved issues (energy) and the horrendous cost of the project ($ 500 million) and the projectiles. A ship Costs about $ 7 billion ... more than an aircraft carrier

Michael Vechnak Ever thought about your shitty medical System?

I live in Norway and what you're telling is bullshit. I dont know if youre that stupid by yourself or just brainwashed by the media but muslims dont want war...

TheKillerDonat Could it be that in Norway you're being fed bullshit and fairytales? ...and the US Healthcare system is one of the best in the world...don't know how many people are flocking to Norway to get a medical Degree or training.

Nah

I will take the ship since the health care sucks

Jack Fenton Ain’t that the truth!!

Hyperbole

The government can’t balance their spending (like the rest of us have to do) but you’re ok with them being in charge of our health?

IT ONLY TAKES ON BRAHMOS ANTI SHIP MISSLE TO CHOP IT INTO PIECES

ELEMENTAL MSTAR, you really need to cheer yourself up by dreaming, you must come back down to earth, THE RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT has no chance against Uncle SAM. THE RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT has a weakest maritime fleet of OCEAN !! SO STOP TO DREAM MY SMALL RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT !!!

WELL YOU NEED TO MAKE IT WORK FIRST..HOW MANY TIMES DID UNCLE SAM BREAK DOWN ...I AM TALKING OF FACTS HERE..

ELEMENTAL MSTAR, You Russian what do you have as a development policy for your lousy naval force ????? NIET NIET NIET. THE RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT has no experience, no knowledge, no technology in the manufacture of strategic war ships, add to that a scary lack of money to realize their dream. Here are facts that reflect a disturbing reality of THE RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT. In this area ONCLE SAM IS HYPER IN ADVANCE ON HIS TIME AS THE USA HAVE MONEY TO MAKE AND DEVELOP POWERFUL MILITARY NAVAL AND AERIAL TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS WHAT MAKES THE ONCLE SAM THE FIRST WORLD MILITARY POWER (SEA / EARTH / AIR) . What makes the RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT extremely jealous and can only be reduced to criticism and whining as they are used to doing it.THE RUSSIAN PETER THE GREAT would be better off focusing on his unique aircraft carrier on which the pilots need to train at landing and take off as they spend all their time falling at sea especially at night.

WELL ITS LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ..PETER THE GREAT IS THE ONLY MILITARY SHIP ON THIS PLANET THAT HAS ALWAYS 3 TARGETING SATELLITES ABOVE IT ..JOKES ASIDE ..ITS THE ONLY BATTLE SHIP ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET ..IT HAS CANNONS OF THE HIGHEST RANGE, AND THE MISSILES YOU FEAR MOST..SO ..ITS THE ONLY SHIP WITH PORTABLE RADAR SYSTEM..ITS SATELLITE CAN LOCK ANY TARGET ANYWHERE AND THE SHIPS JOB IS TO LAUNCH THE MISSILE..

Chuck Kelly phalanx

of course you can detect a fishing vessel, but even the Russian navy wouldn't hit every fishing vessel from a distance on a public sea route like the Black-sea. So this ship can blend into the normal traffic in the Baltic or Black sea and Russia would have to make extensive checks to find the "wrong" fishing vessel before getting hit by the ship. Right now, this is simply not the case. Even the US navy would probably get ambushed by this ship and would have to defend themself against incoming attacks, before intercepting this sole destroyer. This is a threat on the danger-onion. I would like to elaborate on the problem, that in the future we will see more small scale wide-range drones on the sea to cover the sea from these stealth attacks and the Zumwalt class is lacking in their air-game and can not fulfil this main job of the destroyer class, that Zumwalt was meant to replace. I suspect this includes heavily these small air drone units, that remain to be a problem in Ukraine. Of course the Russian fleet couldnt defend themself against a sole modern US ship. They suck in operational strength. Even land-based missiles can sink their main ships, because they are out of date and/or badly equiped and maintained.

pmay222 pretty sure railguns have changed nothing, especially when those won't even begin deployment for another 10 yrs.

Mark Doldon the fact we even know of railguns tells me they have it sorted, its US thats 10 years behind the tech. . How l8ng they have stealth bombers before one crashed revealing their hand, even then they had mkii batwing version already. . We have seen stuff in the sky at night that is unbelievably fast like u could not imagine, they are way ahead in the game
