Fun fact: The nuclear facility they targeted here had also been attacked in the previous decade by the Israelis, only partially damaging it. But this attack worried the soviets that their similar reactors could be attacked from the air and developed a test where in the event of power failure after an attack, the momentum of the turbines would keep power going to the coolant until diesel generators could be started. This test was performed at a relatively new reactor constructed in the Ukraine SSR not far from Kiev. It was mishandled and caused a nuclear accident: Chernobyl.
@@michaelparkerson2430 No mate, I misread it at first too, but he's saying an Israeli attack *before* the Gulf War was at least part of the reason why the original Chernobyl accident happened in 1986. Can't say what he's referring to exactly but apparently there was at least one Israeli attack in 1981.
@@Mynameismegalex I think he is saying that they created a new system for Chernobyl to prevent something like what happened to the one that was attacked by Israel, but they apparently fuck up when doing a test.
Due to weather obscuring the targets. The vast majority of aircraft missed or didn't release. Stroke 3 came in late and did hit his target before shaking 6 SAMs on the way home.
I was a kid living at Spangdalem during the war, my dad was the XO of one of the squadrons. I know it’s a quibble but there were no F-15’s at Spang at that time. They were 30 miles away at Bittburg.
I can only imagine this is like the most intense hardcore exercise you ever had in your life. Beyond your capabilities to sustain. Knowing that if you stop, you will die. Just when you think you are going to get a break, you have to start again. Just wow.
When he calls for stroke 4 the second time it made me cry a little , he put his guts to that call , you can feel the fear for his friend being shot down , you can hear the dread for his friend in need, again this is while making a bomb run being fired upon and defending missiles , that is the epitome of courage, being worried for someone even when you’re in danger as well , every time I can i see the original hud vid but this just adds to the nail bitten adrenaline rush
Worst part was Stroke 4 was the one who called out "BREAK RIGHT!" earlier and saved his life. Thankfully the pilot managed to eject and survived the war.
Funny thing about the AGM-88... it doesn't need a Radar signal to track them if the enemy turns them off after they're launched. Many a Iraqi radar operator found that out the hard way.
your point is hard to understand. which agm 88? C? the older version will not fly last point of signal origin, it will stop changing trajectory and will overshoot. so what do you mean? stopping the emission will help it to survive.
Pretty much the biggesy validation of stealth technology. SAM was already bad enough two decades earlier in Vietnam, Package Q just proved that even outdated SAMs, in sufficient quantities, could outclass traditional strike packages.
Why Tullia wasn't awarded a Medal of Honor is beyond me. It's my understanding that NONE of his Flare/Chaff countermeasures ejected from his aircraft during his fight. So that would mean that he evaded ALL of those missiles launched at him by sheer force of willpower in throwing his F-16 around the sky. Whoa.
Medal of Honor is less about the prowess displayed and more about doing something nigh-impossible, even suicidal, in an effort to fulfill your duty - attempting to save lives or inflict a major blow to the enemy. Many of the recipients are Posthumous for a reason.
A medal for valor would be warranted for achieving his mission and defending 6 SAM launches but most likely not the MoH. A distinguished service cross or a Silver Star would be IMO.
Medal of Honor are awarded to those that save lifes, usually at the cost of their own. Not nessarally "being a badass." The majority of those who have been awarded the MoH will never see it. Its very rare to be a "living" recipient, for a rare award, which is why they are highly respected.
In almost any other fighter he would not have been able to pull it off. Being capable of repeatedly sustaining 9 Gs and the viper retaining and recovering energy so well compared to other fighters was critical, you see how close every one of those SAMs were. He was just barely able to outturn them while still retaining sufficient energy for the next one.
This is amazingly well done, should be used for training vs original HUD. This video gives a lot more perspective and insight into what really happened here. Great video.
i thought i was getting insane, i thought i was the only one doing that. can't get tired of watching over and over again. For some reason this video, the setting, the place, the year, the conflict, the mission itself is nerve-racking.
AWESOME PILOT! quick CRITICAL THINKING. he purposely let go of his remaining bombs to become more agile to perform that maneuver to evade SAMs. Defending SA-2s are hard enough how much more defending against SA-6 much better SAM during that time. In total he defended and defeated 6 Surface to air missiles without or unable to use defensive counter measures (no chaff, no flares etc).
Some of those missiles were so close i'm amazed they didn't proximity detonate, especially the missile at 7:59. If he'd timed that roll wrong that missile would've slammed into his wing.
Design flaw of the SA-1 and 2's and the 6's to some degree, if you turn toward them and fly towards the deck the closure rate is too fast for them to detect proximity. The computers on board didn't run that fast.
Very awesome! The man "Tice" who was shot down bailed out just in time but was captured and tourtured for 40+ days but, he was saved I don't how he is now but hopefully he's doing just fine.
Dude have you even seen 9:02??? PlEaSe DoNt CoMeNt UnLesS yOu HaVe watched the whole vid. I’m on an iPad and the every second letter is caps means sarcasm is great and all but my life is to short and ya get the point, in my humble opinion 9:02>7:56 also rewatch the vid is all good.
The fact not even one counter measure fired is either his confidence in his experience dodging or a failure to make another safety assessment for him and the aircraft, again balls of steel for et god bless America
He ONLY made it home cause he kept his airspeed up during all those evades. If he'd slowed down too much when he got low he couldnt have evaded. Still that one at end u can hear how close the missle was in his voice
In case anyone was wondering, "Stroke 4" was taken prisoner by the Iraqis and then released back to the US 3 months later.
Pretty considerate by the Iraqis part taking into account that they got bombed the fuck out.

that's all you can do brother he made it back
Mad respect for all you PJs. If you guys knew where he was, there would have been hell to pay !!
GLICM or PC? Thanks for looking for Tico.
Sorry to hear it but at least he came home, unlike Dale Cormier(LOJ) and Mike Chinburg(Chins). May they rest peacefully
You did you best, and you tried and you almost had him, we recovered him, glad you made it out yourself.
Ill bet Stroke 3 had some choice words for his Crew chief when he got back after none of his ACM deployed...
Crew chief can't control that. That's weapons or avionics. Those are two different shops in the same amu. Even then, jets fuck up sometimes. Turns out this was the worse time.
He should have been happy the jet was able to bring him back, and that's on periodt
Fuck at 8:00 did they really miss by inches?
That's crazy
@@thebeasters if you watch the hud cam footage, even at its low quality, you can see the missile trails fly right past him, so it was extremely close.
Those were all radar guided missiles. Would chaff/flares have been effective, anyway?

Totally agree
With the amount of G's Tullia probably pulled evading 6 SAMs you know that airframe was x-rayed/tested after the fact.
he pulled 6.5G at the worst. the aircraft can handle 9

Just wow.
You can hear it in his voice when he says "Stroke 3 defending again" He is killing himself to evade.
I cant imagine the struggle on how heavy those maneuvers are. Big respect for the pilot
Stroke 6 defending again...he was killing himself to evade those SAMs. Multiple time you can hear him cry out when he thinks they are going to hit.
you can get drunk with this... a shot/drink every time you hear "stroke 3 defending"
Again.
That slight wing adjustment at 7:58 saves his life
That's how it is. It's aiming for the engine. Your only chance is to get it out of the way at the last second

Man they really wanted Stoke 3 lol, they wasted their entire stockpile of SAM missiles on him lol

@@jaybreezy9927 almost seems like he was setup for failure. The missiles only lock him, and none of his shit worked. Just weird to me
