    the B-52 is the most successful air platform in military history, and the plans are to keep using it for at least another 40 years, which is mind-blowing when you consider how old it is...

    When my sons were young, we were in the Boy Scouts. While we were at summer camp in southeast Kansas I noticed one of the Fellow Scoutmasters walking out of the headquarters and looking up in the sky, while talking on his cellphone. I asked him "What's up?" He said to me, "get yourself to a clear area in 20 min, you'll get to see something impressive!" He was right, a flight of 4 B1b bombers flew over the camp with afterburners on!!! The boys were 'blown away'! Later on in the week, the planes made another appearance by flying over the lake 4 times with the last time, one of the planes pointed his nose skyward and went to afterburners and REALLY impressed the boys. The planes had been housed at McConnel AFB in Wichita, Kansas.

    Good reaction. Two points though, not only can the Bone carry more ordinance than the Buff (B-52), but the speed has figured in the Afghanistan war. Being able to fly mach 1.2, there were instances where B-1B's were able to do close air support missions for ground forces in dire need far faster than any other aircraft. They could literally fly across Afghanistan in a few minutes and drop bombs. The problem is their low numbers make them more expensive to fly.

    The B-1 was designed in the late 60s, early 70s. My father worked on the Defensive Avionics Suite. The program was initially canceled by the Carter Administration, but was brought back by the Reagan Administration.
    Originally, the B-1A was meant to be a Mach 3+ , nuclear capable bomber, but arms treaties caused the program to down grade to Mach 2+, conventional bomber.
    The CONCEPT of the B-2/B-21, flying wing as a bomber is rooted in WW2, and flying prototypes were built in the 50s, but were inherently unstable in flight. It wasn't until the asvent of modern electronics/computers that this concept was made stable enough to be mission capable.

      Carter cancelled the program after being told the B2 was closer to deployment than it turned out to be, given the information available it didn't make sense to continue to develop a non stealth bomber when a stealthy option would be in service in a year or 2.

    We, the US absolutely condemn the use of self sacrifice weapons, like kamikazes. That's why we made our cruise missiles just look like gliders, but they're not actually human controlled at all; so it's different and completely allowed.
    Also if you want to react to one of the most janky pieces of kit the US decided was "the best we got so we'll go with that" check out the U-2 High Altitude Reconnaissance plane. Why is it jank? Well most airplane land on a triangle formation of landing gear, right? U-2's land on a line. Front gear, rear gear, both are twin wheeled, but that's still like landing on a single line of landing gear.

    The swoopy shape of the B-1 is one of its most important assets. It has some of the best area ruling of any aircraft, meaning its cross-sectional area, though not of a round shape, is nearly identical along its length to the round cross-sectional areas of a Spitzer rifle bullet at the same percentage of its length. That makes nearly the whole plane break the sound barrier all together, at an airspeed just barely under Mach 1. Normal planes with worse area ruling start to break the sound barrier piecewise, starting at points of low pressure like the tops of the wings, at lower airspeeds, creating tremendous drag as the air goes in and out of multiple shockwaves. That means the B-1 can cruise efficiently at speeds most fighter jets can't reach without afterburner, possibly as much as Mach 0.95. To keep up with something cruising at Mach 0.95, a pursuing fighter (which is shaped for much higher speeds and has parts that still haven't broken local Mach 1 even up to maybe Mach 1.2) has to go to afterburners* and get above Mach 1.2, causing it to run out of fuel in just minutes. So despite being faster most Soviet fighters probably can't actually keep up with or catch up to a B-1, as they would run out of fuel before doing so. The intercept window is also tiny as a result. It also means it's faster overall on missions. Doing nearly the whole mission at Mach 0.95 with just a short supersonic dash on afterburners across the border where most of the air defenses are, is faster than the Tu-160 doing most of the mission at around Mach 0.75 (to keep the tops of its wings from going supersonic before the rest of it), despite its supersonic dash speed being about twice as fast. (*Of course an F-22 can supercruise at Mach 1.8 without afterburners, but it didn't exist when the B-1B was designed, and it's not ever hostile to the B-1B. And even it can't actually cruise at Mach 0.95, it has to get over Mach 1.2 to avoid the horrendous transsonic drag and supercruise efficiently. Maybe the F-35 can, it's also well area-ruled for near-Mach cruise rather than Mach 2+ speeds.)

    I'm not convinced we'll end up retiring the BONE. They talked about retiring A-10s at one point and then they quickly realized that we don't have anything that does CAS nearly as well as they do. I have a feeling the BONE will be around for a good long time yet unless the airframes start failing.

      Good call. The latest news is that the B-One will receive a massive upgrade and instead of being retired is now scheduled to remain in service along the B-21 Raider into 2040 and beyond. The program falls under the acronym BEAST.

    • @Knightfang1
      @Knightfang1 Před 4 měsíci

      the biggest reason they plan to retire them is that the fleet is all worn out after 20+ years of constant bombing missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Structural Fatigue is the problem. The remaining B-52Hs spent the first several decades of their lives sitting on nuclear alert and not actually doing a lot of flying and as such although older than the B-1s they have less total flight hours on their airframes.

    This brings back memories. I used to be Aircraft Armament on the B1 back in the early 2000s. Kinda sad that I was discharged before getting to work with the JASMs. Most I did was with the JDAMs during OEF/OIF.

  • @Indyofthedead
    @Indyofthedead Před 4 měsíci +1

    The B-1 doesn't get much love because it's not as iconic as the B-2 Spirit. Yet, it's faster than any other bomber, cheaper to fly per hour than both the B-52 and B-2, has a greater payload capacity than both, and has a longer range ran the B-2. So, why is it retiring before the other two? Well, the other two don't have treaties limiting their uses. In a fight, what tells you which guy is the most dangerous? The guy who's coming at you with both hands, or the one who's forced to fight with one arm tied behind his back?

    To B1 B was the first model airplane I put together. It’s just so sleek. B-52 I believe it’s been around since the 1950s it’s a 70-year-old plane.

  • @timbo8870
    @timbo8870 Před 4 měsíci

    86 or 87 a B1 did a stop and go landing at our small airport about 6 miles as crow flies. I was 12 running up the street to my buddies when it was taking off, I imagine with everything it had as it's a shorter runway. Scared the hell out of me. Then over the trees and houses this monster plane came into sight. We don't see military planes in our area so it was pretty wild. Glad I got to see it

    I'm new to the channel so I'm not sure if you have done a video for this but if you haven't I suggest you check the U.S. main battle tank, the M1 Abrams. It is unreal what this thing can do in the field. If you want to hear first hand what it can do then you need to watch a video on the Battle of 73 Easting. I was a tank battle in February of 91 when American armor units just obliterated Iraqi armor. It would be like F-15's against Japanese A6M Zero's. Really enjoying the channel!

    I live in Abilene Texas , where Dyess AirForce Base s located . we have around half of the B-1B Lances stationed at this base . roughly 30 the rest are based at another base .. I live around 5 miles from the base and when these guys take off it s lke thunder rolling .. When they take off using their afterburners t makes the whole apartment complex I live in shake like Thunder accompanied by an earthquake !! When they are doing their emergency take off drills where multiple take off back to back you might as well forget about watching tv for a few minutes .. the sound of their afterburners drowns out everything else pretty much ...

    Oh, the BONE. Dale Brown's books made me fall in love with this plane... And my love affair also appeared to transfer to one of my sons. He became an aircraft mechanic and the first plane he got to work on was the B1. I'm glad it's stuck around for as long as it has... and It's a lot sexier than the BUFF... (IYKYK).

    They are still in use. Like the video said they were active in Syria and in Afghanistan. It actually makes an appearance in "The Outpost" providing suppression for a US outpost being overrun. Very cool movie and scene. Def worth a look.

  • @ISAFMobius18
    @ISAFMobius18 Před 4 měsíci

    Theres also another weapon the video didnt talk about because its not a physical one, its a psychological one. During the War in Afghanistan and Iraq, US troops who were engaged with enemy fighters or needed to flush out hiding combatants, would call on a nearby B-1 to do a very low and fast pass over the area. When i mean low, i mean just a couple hundred feet, and fast as in near mach 1. The bomber would basically buzz the enemy that had such high speed and sound, it would cause the enemy to panic or displace, giving troops the chance to either fall back or engage.

    The !-12 was a Super Sonic, Stealth (reduced cross section) Bomber....It had the best of both worlds (for the time) but were too costly to maintain. The A-12 was a predecessor to the SR-71.

    The Arming circuits and Hardware needed to deploy Nukes were removed from the B-1B as part of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia back in 1994. That treaty limited the number of active and reserve bombers capable of deploying nuclear weapons.

    I would highly recommend the milsim based youtubers such as Grim Reapers. I personally really enjoy Growling Sidewinder because he uses Digital Combat Simulator which is a PC game that has very accurate plane physics and weapon capabilities. Also the variety of videos is awesome, you can see a SU-57 vs. F-22 Raptor or an entire squadron of B-2 spirits bombing a fleet of ships.

      Grim Reapers does some cool stuff, hard to react to though, since they can be pretty long missions. I think Sandboxx did a cool video on Rapid Dragon as well, which would be a cool video for him to react to.

    The B-52 is the most versatile bomber ever made. They came online 6 years before I was born and will probably be in service after I'm gone. The B-1B will be long forgotten by the time the B-52s are actually retired.
