I fell asleep in my couch with CZcams on autoplay, woke up to an F1 car at 4AM, and then it was military stuff.... The algorithm knows me so well since F1 and stuff that blows other stuff up are my favorite.

Tiff's voice is the best! It never gets old!
Lmao I left Spark on to enjoy the vids and while I was in the bathroom, I heard Tiff and thought "I should comment on this" lol. Scrolled down and saw your comment. He's one of my fav car personalities with Chris Harris.
Tiff Needell is narrating? I didn't even know that when I clicked on this video. What a pleasant surprise.
I just asked that question . You can’t mistake his voice and inflections . Cheers from Australia
Love Tiff Needell's vocal enthusiasm.
I love the generic version of Sandstorm at the beginning

"The ultimate Military Aircrafts and Weapons of all time"
Ah yes, my favorite military craft, the F1 racecar.
Disgusting!
I’ve had rides on Huey’s, blackhawks, and CH-47’s. Jumped from all three, rappelled ou5 of Hueys, and Blackhawks.
That sounds awsome
Didn’t have to, just wanted to?
@@seebarry4068military no doubt
that sounds like Tiff Nedel that used to race circuit cars. he also was a host of a show that competed w top gear called "fifth gear" Tiff was the man!
The most brutal aspect of the Longbow is the peekaboo radar & the helmet-connected heavy machinegun; to look, in absolute darkness if needed, at an enemy and blow him up is mental!
It is not a machine gun it is an autocannon, specifically, a large calibre weapon which fires a shell loaded with explosive, generally of more than about 15-18mm in diameter, depending on the country that produces it.

It is impressive they were able to implement the HANS device considering how much drivers like Dale Earnhardt were against it. Ironically, his crash and subsequent death greatly caused drivers to reconsider using it. I raced with that early HANS model in road course races at that time (mandatory amateur racing after Dale’s crash) and for anyone like me with a hint of claustrophobia it was difficult to get comfortable with it as you could not turn your head freely. But it saved a ton of lives and drivers like me learned to race with it. Great Invention! Thank you Dale for making us use it!
The plural of “aircraft” is “aircraft”. “Aircrafts” would mean, as an example, doing artwork while parachuting.
Thre capabilities of the Apache Longbow are truly impressive!
The AH-56 Cheyenne would have been a better overall attack Helicopter. A shame they don't remake a modern attack helicopter with the same performance.

“The new Comanche is due to be in service in 2009”

Hey jimmy..working on the ground crew for and agriculture flying service in Jonesboro Ar..was one of my first jobs in 1988..I've witnessed crashes and plenty of maintenance..so I respect everything you do..how ever I've only been flying twice in my life..come take me flying!!IM USE TO CRAZY PILOTS!😂😂
Outstanding documentary, very interesting and informative
The Apache can also be used to evac. The SAS did that (video is on CZcams).
This program is way old. The Comanche was cancelled back on 23 February 2004...
It’s called a spur ride
Hilarious to hear a sandstorm remix in a film about rotary wing ac
Sounds fucking sick.
😊,
I’m puzzled why the Apache LongBow has taken so long to bring to the battlefield, especially as I was able to play it as a game (Helicopter Gunship in the early 1990’s (!).
Heck even the rotors are still based on the even earlier 1970’s design of BERP’s (British Experimental Rotor programme) which had for the time, extra quiet and extra quick rotors that were designed to help reduce the rotor tips becoming supersonic. They were made for the British Westland Lynx Helicopter in 1971, and became the fastest rotor powered helicopter in use for many years at the time a record speed of 250mph.
It was a record it retained for quite a few years until,retiring in 2018 and ranked in the world’s top 10 fastest helicopters - not bad for something that’s over 40-years old already. It’s only recently been withdrawn from frontline service which is shown in the following article;
The Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose twin-engined military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil. Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants. Wikipedia
Developed into: Westland 30; AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat
First flight: 21 March 1971
Introduction: 1978
National origin: United Kingdom
Number built: 450 (as of 2009)
Primary users: British Army (historical); Royal Navy (historical); German Navy; See Operators for others
Retired: 2017 (Royal Navy), 2018 (British Army), 2020 (French Navy)
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by why it's taken so long to take the longbow into combat?
They've been in every major and some minor conflicts the US has been in since it was first brought up to D variant spec. You can find stories of the pilots and gunners talking about their experiences in combat in the AH-64D's in the early 2000's, only a few years after they entered service.
Earlier variants also saw combat service.

It’s good to hear one of my favourite racing drivers Tiff Needell proving the commentary extremely well…
Super happy with the video. Was wonderful to hear all about legendary ace pilot Ayrton Senna and the F1 and NASCAR "The Ultimate Military Aircrafts And Weapons Of All Time" machines. Thank you.
Hello my there friends thanks you'll for sharing keep I have learned a great lot bless you'll have a great day bless
"Aircrafts" ... says it all.
Interesting to look back at the “future” from 15 + years in the future. Starting at 41:30 take a shot every time Colonel Birmingham says “really”. I’ve already passed out.
The most frustrating part of Senna's death is... He survived the crash! The cable that was holding the tyre still attached to the pod was supposed to come off as well. Had it come off, Senna would still be here, albeit not sure if driving, but...!
Most people believe he died on impact and the truth is so frustratingly sad. My grandfather talks about watching that race and how shocking the truth was when it came out.

I love this. But that great value version of Darude's "Sandstorm" is killing me. Lol
"Named after syox , Chief Blackhawk ." Think being an american, he would know Sioux is pronounced like sue. And Chinook is pronounced like Shinook.
I turned 40 this year and the Apache is 4 years younger than me and the Longbow is 10 years younger and still has no equal in the world. That is an impressive track record for military equipment.
@@spacelizard6770 explain what trumps theses helicopters not to mention the F15, the US UK have the best areo systems world-wide.

Apache never tested in battlefield with very good anti-air defense compared to Russian KA-52 in Ukraine. The record of Apache only against very poor, no tech countries, no sattelites, small, no top of the line shoulder to air missiles like Russian Igla or US Stinger, Swedish RBS, NASAM, etc

Also the F-16 was designed by pilots for pilots.
The F15 first flew in July 1972 then It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat . not to mention ASAT capability. Also so much more

So if that system were ever compromised then your enemy would know your friendly position, risky system for a support piece that is sent in by itself all the time

I bet the Apache is like a flying Ferrari. It's lethal and gorgeous.
Whoa…230kmh? That’s about 142mph. When I worked as a Sheriff’s investigator in the late 1970s I hit 140mph numerous times on I-94 in pursuits . We were operating the 1976 Plymouth Fury 4dr at the time, with the 440 magnum V8. We had the highest rated tires as well as oil and tranny fluid coolers and special brakes. I think everyone called them Blues Mobiles later on. We won most of our pursuits just because of equipment superiority. They might have hot cars with blowers, etc., but never Z rated tires or oil cooler and tranny fluid coolers and usually after about 40 miles at or above 100mph their engines would hatch and we would see an oil slick and then either them pulling over or them with an engine fire.
But anything over 125 used to scare the crap out of me because you would be out running your warning equipment and an accident at those speeds you would not live through. Unless it was a violent felony I started braking off when we exceeded 125, but I always worked the night shifts so traffic was always very lite. I can’t imagine doing those speeds on a curved track or roadway. Those guys were braver than I would ever be!

There is NO word-Aircrafts- Aircraft is plural on its own.

plural aircraft
: a machine (as an airplane, glider, or helicopter) that can travel through the air and that is supported either by its own buoyancy or by the action of the air against its surfaces
The strike able version of the F15 is a 2 seater, all the ones shown were a pure air superiority fighter that is not equipped for the use of air to ground! The best they have for ground attack is that 20mm canon.
This helicopter is a one mean lean fighting machine, it's an incredible invention, amazing,it's got the licence to kill than again properly don't have to have one to kill.But I love this helicopter! KEEP IT UP GUY TERRIFIC JOB.

Well that was depressing. I took part in the initial integration trials of the FN 0.50" M3M to British Army and Royal Navy Lynx and RAF & RN Merlin. We did the first fit to the Army's Lynx Mk7 in 1997. Also carried out trials of M3M on Sea King, Puma and Chinook. Now Sea King, Lynx Mk7, Mk9A and Mk8 all retired from service. I got old!
Oh wow. One day soon the choppers will be indestructible and fully bullet proof. Well on the way anyway. That's very cool and some more info I had no idea about.

I love this. I do have to say, for the Apache simulator that is a multimillion dollar sim, I’d expect better than Nintendo 64 graphics! Seems like it just needs to be good enough to get the point but I just would’ve thought they might look a little better. Looks super fun to fly though!

If you're not infantry, then your main job is to support the infantry. That's the Army infantry and the
Marine infantry. Everybody else's job is to give the infantry what they need, when they need it. I, myself was an airborne infantryman and the went to flight school and fly scouts for the army. Had the best of both worlds. I knew what those ground pounding grunts were going through, and I was there for them.

Really long, but fascinating. The advances in technology amazing. Helicopters amazing advances. I always thought racecardriving a dangerous unnecessary risk. I now can see many life saving advances have been made trying to prevent common injuries or deaths. So in essence it's really advanced injury and death prevention.

Why is the Black Hawk rear rotor angled upward?
@ 55: 51 The fatal crash of senna...
The more I look at videos of it... The straight angle heading 2 the wall;... he suffered a heart attack... as there was NO signs of braking nor swerving...
I was at Indy in 82' when Gordon smiley hit the wall at 200mph....as a teen ...i was freaked out...all i saw was...the fire ball...but...later...others said they saw his flaming body hit the catch fence when his car desinagrated.....it literally gave me nightmares😞😞😞😞RIP Gordon🙏🙏
A part of front suspension hit the visor of his helmet and smashed the brain. What heart attack?
Something seems to break, a jolt occurs just before he lost control, then at the barrier the tire smashed his head in/broke his neck.
steering shaft broke as it was cut put in a knuckle and welded by a mechanic before the race to change the angle to give him more leg room
There was braking that occurred. His steering was also still active. It's believed s tire had gone down causing him to bottom out!
I’m an retired Army medic. I once transported a patient to Little Rock Air Force Base and stayed overnight in Air Force barracks. It was much better than our barracks. I asked how you guys rate better barracks than us. He said “do you think those fly boys want their maintenance crews unhappy😂”
True statement. A 12-pack here and there helps too.
Do the army pilots want their helicopter in a bad sharpe, this that what they saying? When I was stationed in Korea all the Air Force enlisted personnel stayed in officers quarters and got paid extra for substandard conditions, E-1 and up. The Air Force standards are living quarters and all support buildings. In the army they build work area than the barracks. The USAF goes back to congress for more money and get it because work area is not done.

IDK about other people but the thought of atomic bombs gives him cold chills. the force there is no ethical reasoning that can justify its use in any type of warfare.
War is never " ethical"!
The "autonomous flight" ability gives the pilots the opportunity to sleep during those 30+ hour long missions which has been a real problem for the B-2.
Basically the B2 is being used for missions it was never intended for
It was built for short range missions to penetrate Soviet Air defense and carpet bomb airfields
We don't need a huge bomb bay , but we need more range and the ability to fly over 30 hours at a time.
It's not a WWW3 bomber like the B2 , it's the "reach out and nail that little bastard 10,000 miles away" Bomber.

The plural of aircraft is aircraft. One aircraft is an aircraft. A group of them is a group of aircraft.
Take a shot for every time the guy says the word digital
If I remember correctly the Japanese finally did something similar to what the British did at Messin Belgium over a decade before but on a smaller scale during the Siege of Port Arthur Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War but only after absorbing some dreadful percentages of attrition in failed frontal assaults. I'd have to re familiarize myself with that conflict to recall the particulars and results but I believe it was successful in advancing their position though it didn't yet end the siege. I remember ghoulish descriptions of dissected cadavers with staring eyes being as much a part of the landscape of the battleground as the similarly well trodden soil they were mixed with.. Indeed a prelude to the trenches of WW!

Hearing how they use the term "digital" as a buzzword reminds me of how they use "AI" as the buzzword today. Probably near 30 yrs and not much changes.
Edit: holy shit the Comanche this shit is ancient
A good camo paint job would help!
The word "Aircraft" does not take a letter "s" to be plural. That is because the word "aircraft" is called an irregular plural. There is a grammatical error in the title of this video. You are supposed to use the word "Aircraft" for both the singular and plural form. For example, you say "Aircraft Carrier" to talk about a ship that holds many aircraft. Nobody calls that ship an "Aircrafts Carrier". Please correct the title of this video to be "The Ultimate Military Aircraft and Weapons of All Time". Thank you. Other examples of irregular plurals are: Mouse vs Mice (plural), Formula vs Formulae (plural), bread vs bread (plural, no such word as "breads"), cactus vs cacti (plural), index vs indices (plural), spacecraft vs spacecraft (plural, no such word as spacecrafts), fruit vs fruit (plural, no such word as fruits), antenna vs antennae (plural, no such word as antennas), octopus vs octopi (plural), etc.
'Fruits' with an s is definitely a word. The word fruit is an exception where the noun is both countable and uncountable so the plural of the word fruit can either be fruit or fruits. I.e. The fruits of our labor- Would be a proper usage but certainly the word fruits is real and exists. Same with the word Antennas, Antenna with a plural s is a proper plural when referring to electrical equipment and the word Antennae is most properly used to describe the multiple of protuberances on the head of insects.
@@cjcoleman3893 The proper usage is "The fruit of our labor" meaning that the labor is bearing fruit or multiple results. "Fruits" is not a word. If "Fruits of our labor" sounds even remotely correct to you then I would have referred you to my very expensive British teachers who actually used this very example as a sample of the types of errors that is often taught in public schools. I am American but I received a very international education by American, British and Canadian educators and I also speak 3 languages so I've seen it all.
@Digital Evidence Expert Here's an example: My favorite fruits are apples, bananas, and oranges. You would never want to say, "My favorite fruit are apples, bananas and oranges." It sounds improper. Your international education is meaningless and your knowledge of languages other than English are irrelevant and do not apply. Fruits is absolutely a real word and has proper usages. Here's 3 more examples of proper usage since you think you're so smart:
The supermarket has a wide selection of exotic fruits such as Papaya and Mango.
The juice is made from a variety of fresh fruits.
I love oranges and other citrus fruits.
The fact you used an appeal to authority logic fallacy to affirm the validity and superiority of your assertion completely discredits you. Not to mention a simple Google search would have provided the proper usage, context and an explanation for the word fruits validity. You failed both literally and rhetorically. Both your grammar and the logic you're using to support the validity of your assertions regarding grammar are invalid!

Americans and Germany both used helocopters in ww2.
Really can you send me to a video or something that says they did...I really dont think they did, always thought that it was invented after the war
They did not!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😱😱🤪🤪
@Maria Torres Google it :) this is what I found.
The German helicopters of World War II are one of the little-known weapons of the Nazi German arsenal. These aircrafts were created to serve a specific military purpose and they did have some success in the role they were assigned.
@@deenmerkuri8379 yes I believe Germany mostly used them in mountain areas.
There's a good story from late ww2 about a wounded downed airman in the south pacific jungles.
They could not reach him by conventional meens so they use a U.S. army helocopter. It was a new aircraft a weak lift almost not strong enough for 2 people and couldn't fly that far.
They ended up trucking gas in as far as they could for the helocopter to use just to reach the airman.
The pilot made it but barely and ended up saving the downed airman.
I believe it was proof the helocopter supporters in the military was looking for and I believe it was the first use of a helocopter in a U.S. combat zone.
Japanese fighters where a big worry for them.
