    Why isn't the F-15 or F-16 on here instead of the F-117? Their reputations as actual fighters are way better, and they didn't have to include the "F" prefix just to keep pilots from being embarrassed for flying them.

    The armor-piercing round used to shoot the scraper was loaded with stripper clips, so it can't be an AK47. Assuming it was the same 7.62x39mm round, it's likely an SKS

    It's interesting to see different perspectives on fighter jet choices. While the F-15 and F-16 have impressive reputations as fighters, the inclusion of the F-117 in the list offers a unique and intriguing aspect. Each aircraft has its own strengths and capabilities, and the F-117's stealth technology played a significant role in its operational success. It's important to appreciate the diversity and advancements in military aviation. 🛩🔥🔝

    The F-117 got its destination from the Red Hat's. The Red Hat's are the 4 large hangers at the North end of the base. They're called the Red Hat's because this is where americans reversed engineer alien technology, meaning Russian technology.

    The whole show starts off wrong. F-117 is not a fighter. It is a bomber or close air support stealth aircraft. Fighters by definition fight other aircraft. Not only does the F-117 not fight other aircraft it lacks any defensive armaments other than its stealth and electronic warfare capabilities.

    • @raymondanderson751

    On 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a Yugoslav Army unit shot down an F-117 by firing a S-125 Neva/Pechora surface-to-air missile from 1961 . ROFLOL yeah so good to invade 3rd world country that fight back with sticks and stones

    • @t74guard78
      @t74guard78 Před 8 dny

      You do know that the biggest reasons it was shot down was because it flew the same route everyday so they knew it was coming and one of it's weapons bay doors got stuck open which ruined it's stealth. Those two things as well as some incredible luck for the Yugoslavia army is why it got shot down. Getting shot down only once in all the sorties the F-117 has flown is an incredible record. The F-117 was a great fighter/bomber and worked as advertised. Flew through Bagdah over and over again without getting a scratch during a time when it was probably the most well defended city in the world is astounding.

    "Still say the warthog was the best at take a beating protecting ground troops and being able to get back afterward." This is the closest to words words I remember my dad saying. He only talked about Vietnam later in life and now his dementia (agent orange induced) won't let him tell me stories anymore. He enjoys watching these videos so I cast them on the TV for him. I think I remember him saying they could fly home or limp home with half a wing blown off. I know they saved the lives of him and his fellow troops more than once. He wasn't happy when they started decommissioning them and replacing them with the F-16s. My info could be wrong because when I look it up now it says they are being replaced by the F-35 but maybe it changed from the F-16 to the F-35s because they are replacing the F-16s with the F-35. The F-16 or F-35 might be adequate or better planes but I understand why he feels the way he does. He could definitely also be right. I didn't ever disagree with him because I wasn't necessary and I don't have the knowledge. Even if I had the knowledge I wouldn't disagree with him because again it would be unnecessary. Anyway, I don't know why but I just wanted to comment for him. I don't know if anything that I am talking about was even mentioned in the video. The video just brought to mind what he had told me before about the A-10 warthogs.

    🛩🔥🤔 It's intriguing to explore the choices made in this list of the top fighter jets. While the F-15 and F-16 have indeed established themselves as formidable fighters, it's important to note that different aircraft serve different purposes and have unique features. The F-117, despite its unconventional design, played a significant role in stealth operations. The inclusion of the "F" prefix was a deliberate measure to maintain secrecy rather than reflect embarrassment. Fighter rankings can be subjective, and it's fascinating to delve into the reasoning behind each selection. Let's continue discussing and celebrating the remarkable advancements in aviation technology! ✈🌟💬

  • @blackfish4147
    @blackfish4147 Před rokem +1

    The only undefeated fighter in history with a record of 104-0 doesn't warrant a spot in the top 10 list? Really? The F-15 has been in service almost 5 decades, has seen combat in every theater and has adapted to every role including the same precision bombing that the F-117 is (only) capable of. Did the Brits make a donation to get the slow, excessively loud Harrier on the list? Yes, it hovers...for no more than 30 seconds before the engines eat themselves and it falls faster than it can fly. I can list 5 planes that should be here and back them up with statistics, not propaganda. For instance, the F6F Hellcat had a K/D of 18:1 and outclassed the A6M in every respect. The Yak 9 was also a better plane as was the Lavochkin LA-7. Very disappointing.
