  • With the news of US sending cluster bombs to Ukraine, we simulate Ukraine using these bombs on their Mig-29 jets and try to penetrate a Russian S-400 & Pantsir SAM network to take out a tank column.

Don't the Russians have a similar airframe to counter the Patriot and other SAM sites? Maybe I missed it in one of the videos on the channel?

    Hey cap, love the vids. In particular, I really love the big naval battles, like the US & UK vs China and Russia. I am aware you did that one somewhat recently with the new stuff that was added, and I don’t think there has been any outcome changing things implemented since then, but there were some changes, like the UK ships’ sams, and other things i can’t think of off the top of my head. Maybe a slightly smaller naval battle focused on the UK and someone else? I’m not exactly sure, but if i think of an exact idea i’ll let you know. Until then if you had one you were planning already I can’t wait to see it! Thanks for reading 😂

    No-one crashed on take-off. No-one collided with a tree or power line, or did a CFIT. The HARMs took out the Pantsir, and no-one got shot by the S400. The Tors didn't even get a shot off. The CBUs did a terrifyingly good job of destroying the majority of the tank column. And no-one got shot down by the Su-35s until they caught Cap inside the alleged Patriot SAM net.

      @singlespeedpunk7744 But Ukraine is in the weird position to use it on their home territory. So if they win, they themselves have to deal with the random undocumented explosives (unlike documented mine fields). I heard that on average around 6% of them don't explode.
      Then again, having mines on your land is probably still better than having russians there.

The text of the convention against cluster munitions is clear... "Each State Party undertakes never under any circumstances to: ... (a) Use cluster munitions (b) [produce/transfer/stockpile/etc CM's] **AND** (c) Assist, encourage or induce anyone to engage in any activity prohibited to a State Party under this Convention." - So yeah just a minor wee point that everyone on earth seems to have forgotten about.

    Cap there is a huge difference between cbu99/100 rockeyes, and CBU 97 SFW. The bomblets in CBU97 are essentially heatseaking and will search for targets to attack in their cone of vision, while rockeyes are just dumb unguided bomblets which are far less effective. Not only are rockeye bomblets far more prone to failure, but they also contain 1/5 of the explosive mass of the CBU97's bomblets meaning they have far less penetration and generally will do less damage on target.

    • @recoilrob324
      @recoilrob324 Před rokem

      I just read that Ukraine asked for the Rockeye so they could dismantle them and use the bomblet's with commercial drones dropping them individually. That kind of makes good sense, though some of the CBU-97's would certainly put a hurt on armor formations if they could get aircraft to deliver them and a new and improved version was just adopted which might make some of the current stock available.

  • @AnExtrovertPaints
    @AnExtrovertPaints Před rokem +1

    Just so you know, Ukraine will probably dismantle these bombs and use the cluster munitions individually with drones to bomb trenches. Cluster bombs have a high dud rate due to them knocking into each other and are also useless against trench systems anyway, and Ukrainians have a much higher success rate using drones with single munitions.

    Those Ukraine scenarios are incredibly intense-thanks a lot for all your hard work! I had an idea for how you might suppress any enemy MANPADS which might be present very close to the front line. Could some PzH2000 howitzers preventively shell the area where your flightpath crosses the front line in order to knock out any possible MANPADS? The challenge for the pilots would be a) timing (crossing the ”breach“ not too early/not too late) and b) making sure that they fly exactly over the area where the shells came down.

      ukraine did not get such an anti-tank version that can be launched from an airplane, only a 155mm artillery version, which is not effective against tanks. It can be used against people and weakly armored vehicles. The bigger problem is that if the Ukrainians get banned weapons, the Russians will feel empowered and will be more daring to use cluster and thermobaric weapons, or even phosphorus or tactical nuclear weapons.

    Great video, I just wonder if there's a way to significantly reduce the turning speed of the T-90s. As soon as the first bombs hit they suddenly had F1 race car level turning lol. Seemed a bit unrealistic. Put differently, with more realistic (ie slower) reaction time and tank speed/turning, I'm guessing a lot more would have been hit and destroyed in the first wave of bombs.

    One comment and observation on your introduction and map: FLOT Is actually Forward Line Own Troops, opposite a FLET - Forward Line Enemy Troops, they don't necessarily meet (or you'd have a contact everywhere, outdated but obvious examples are the trenches of WW1 separated by a No-Man's Land) they just indicate where your own (or the enemys) most forward troops are located.
    It doesn't make sense to me that the most forward troops on the russian side would be Air Defenses, (while they should be kept fairly forward, having them in front of your tank-column seems like a bad move from a ground-perspective) and that western-most one is according to the map pretty much overrun by Blue Forces while the northern-most one isn't far behind. Granted my experience lies with Artillery, not Air Defences so maybe that is normal, although it seems very risky to me?
    Love the videos, my favorite is probably the Pearl Harbor modern cruisers vs Japanese Navy one.

      @mariushusejacobsen3221 Před rokem +3

      "without special anti-armor shaped charges" - right. The thing they're sending to ukraine is DPICM artillery shells. Those bomblets are armor penetrating in the same way anti tank rockets and ATGMs are, but from the top. If they hit non-fake reactive armor, the first bomblet to hit that cell will be neutralized.

    • @dm1i
      @dm1i Před rokem +3

      ​@@BoraHorzaGobuchul This depends not on how Russian or not you are, but on the type of the charge. Top attacking armor piercing ammunition would work on any tank. Especially with more than one charge, to remove reactive armor first. So if those are a shaped charges, the simulation is pretty accurate (despite TORs not moving with tanks, because they are designed to fire on the move exactly for such situations).

  • @rolandlee6898
    @rolandlee6898 Před rokem +1

    Except this has no relevance to reality, they are sending DPICM in the from of 155mm rounds and possibly M26 rockets. The controversy around that is that according to data presented to the US congress, the dud rate of these in Iraq was between 14 to 23 percent (which means about 100 unexploded bomblets per rocket). Which means Ukraine will be littered with unexploded munitions for decades to come, just like former Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq and Afghanistan still are.
    Worse still - the fields of Ukraine are mostly farmland used to grow grain that quite literally feed the world. Unexploded ordinance, of which there is already no shortage of, will render large areas unusable until demining can be done.
    Given how slow demining is, it might take decades to clear the fields. Smaller munitions are exponentially harder to find and clear, which means they are more likely to be missed.
    The benefits of these munitions are questionable at best given the type of combat we see. We also heard that they will be supplied from an older stock, which means this is primarily US selling weapons at a profit that they would otherwise make a loss on. And yes, it is for profit. US does NOT send aid to Ukraine, all shipments are under a lend-lease agreement, which means Ukraine OWES WITH INTEREST for everything they get. US didnt send a single bullet before Ukraine signed the agreement. Ukraine's debt to US is already like twice their pre-war GDP.
