In today's video, we document the entire mission required to reach a military vehicle graveyard on an active base. The exploration was one of our favourites ever and we hope the video showcases it to the best of our ability!

    • Just FYI, there was an American pilot in Vietnam, flying an F-4 if memory serves, who pickled off his external tanks going into a dogfight after being jumped by North Vietnamese MiGs, and actually hit one of them, taking it out of the fight. I don't remember many of the details, but it's a helluva story. It was a successful mission kill with an improvised weapon. If I remember correctly, the North Vietnamese pilot tried to limp it home and ultimately was forced to eject not long after. A lot of US pilots used similar tactics, though I only know of that one case where it actually scored a kill. They've also been used upon occasion as improvised CAS weapons, with mixed success. At one time it was standard practice to drop them if you had to dogfight, since they do add both weight and drag, decreasing maneuverability and energy retention. Energy in the context of momentum, putting it into laymen's terms. Energy is Life, in a dogfight. Even with powerful engine and high thrust-to-weight ratio, you never want to lose all of your energy in a dogfight, because it leaves you vulnerable and unable to maneuver. So external tanks were frequently dropped prior to a dogfight or bombing run. It's generally less of an issue on modern warplanes, especially with conformal external tanks blended into the airframe, most of which can only be removed by ground crew.

  • The "tank" is an anti-aircraft gun mounted on a lightly armored vehicle. It is a Soviet-designed ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft weapon system. The 23 stands for the round size in millimeters, which is very close to one inch in diameter. This thing was a formidable weapon against low-flying aircraft. The round object on the top rear is the onboard radar, which was advanced for its time. It had a 12-mile range. Former Intell Analyst in US Army.

    • It's nice to read a professional: the comment is short and to the point. Krypto Kharma, , do not take it personally, further for those far from the topic. For those who are not in the subject, there is only one small clarification: traditionally, the caliber of rifled artillery (as well as small arms) in Russia is measured by the fields of the barrel rifling, and not by the bottom of the rifling. This figure is indicated in the reference literature, army documents and et cetera. The true diameter of the projectile (or bullet) is important only for ammunition manufacturers and designers. Yes, of course it is bigger, but it is not remembered when describing the caliber of the gun, also by tradition. Therefore, "23 mm" and without any "approaches an inch". And another nuance: in the designation ZSU-23-4, the number 4 indicates the number of barrels of the artillery system. So it was, for example, ZSU-57-2, which had two barrels of 57 mm. Just the Soviet system of designations, pure nomenclature.

    • @@sebastiaanachternaam2450, I'm sorry, you named this car correctly, but you made a mistake in the details: "Shilka" is not the name of the ZSU-23-4 in NATO terminology, it is its designation according to the Soviet nomenclature. There is such a feature in Russia: not to give formidable "animal" names to samples of military equipment. The Shilka is a river in Siberia, a tributary of the Amur. There were also "Argun", "Amur" - this is from the "river" names that I remember. There are "flower" - "Cornflower", "Acacia", "Tulip", "Carnation" and so on. Geometric theme - "Cube", "Circle", "Square". Even the heroes of animated films - "Pinocchio", "Cheburashka". Yes, there are many more examples, we are such jokers.

  • The French planes are the Dassault Mystere IV. Back in the 1980s I was in the USAF. There were several Mysteres at RAF Sculthorpe Norfolk. We took the engines out of them and made aircraft decontamination units by mounting them on trailers. The airframes were then used as decoys and for aircraft battle damage repair mock ups at RAF Lakenheath.

  • So, you discovered RAF Spadeadam in north Cumbria, which used to be part of my mapping surveying area back in the 80/90s. A range of aircraft have been deposited/dumped there over the last 50 years - to be used as targets (non-destruction I guess) on the range. We used to parkup in a layby on the approach to watch Tornado and Jaguars coming in low. Sometimes Rapier or similar would be set up in the surrounding area - I guess for practice. Even more interesting is the history of the actual "base" which was the testing location for the UK rocket development programme in the 50/60s. It later was (and stlll may be) used for explosive testing by the gas industry. Some huge concrete rocket testing constructions - but you are unlikely to get in amongst them.

    • Indeed, it is still used for explosive testing. I have carried out work around that area several times. Now and again you can hear explosions coming from the base. I haven’t been in the base itself but from speaking to the locals in the nearby village. They explained the base is used for various explosive testing and not just for the military.

  • The items you called torpedos are actually fuel tank drop tanks that are used to extend the flight time and range of the aircraft and they can be ejected by the pilot for improved and faster flight

  • I used to regularly visit a friends farm up there on the range and it may still be in place but there was a shoot first ask later policy but that was over the base side. As for aircraft, i used to sit for hours watching the planes come overhead at tree level on practice runs.

  • If I remember correctly (I'm happy to be corrected) this is a mock (training) airfield previously used by RAF spadeadam, hence the aircraft being from other nations, the fuel trucks windows being covered, cockpit windows metal framing and model of the AA vehicle etc, interesting the veiw as these aircraft will have flown and are not replicas but the site used to be used as a training aid

    • You’re correct. It is known as Colinsky airfield, obviously never been active. It is still used to replicate an enemy airfield so that various types of training serials can be conducted, anything from Fighter ground attack to dismounted ground based missions.

  • The Missile looking thing is a Drop Tank (External Fuel Tank) that's used to extend the range of aircraft. The parabolic directional antenna looking thing is not a Dish antenna, it's a Radar used to detect air targets and by the way this Tank thing is an Anti Aircraft Artillery (AAA) used to engage close proximity Air targets usually in the range of 4 to 6 km.

  • The "tank" you found is a ZSU-23-4 "Shilka". It is a radar guided anti-aircraft weapons system. Developed by the Soviets and place into service in 1960. Has been updated several times and is still in use by the Russians and has been sold/donated to numerous countries around the world. Besides being an effective weapon against low flying planes and helo's, it has become a very deadly anti personnel ground weapon, abet only able to aim at targets via visual aiming. The guns are 23mm and spit out an impressive 1000 rounds per minute per gun, so that would be 4000 rounds per minute for all four guns(vehicle is limited to 2000 rounds loaded due to the size of the round.)

When I was in USAF in the 80's, adjoining our training area for DLI was the military dog school which had, for training, a small piece of runway with some fine old aircraft, a Canberra included, I recall. And Security Forces had a few areas with runways and old aircraft on which to train. Kinda cool for a plane buff, like me. Do you have a vet friend you could bring along on some of these?

I live in Chester and work by Airbus, that Mil-Mi24 helicopter used to live there so mad how it’s ended up where you were today. New subscriber - love your calm narrative and the places you are going to. Some of the abandoned places you have visited are incredible, it’s scary how many abandoned places there are yet we have such a shortage of places to live and the cost of everything is so high.

    • Attenborough WAS good but he then became a green lefty seriously corrupt loony narating videos about climate change with falling ice from other places hundreds of miles away. The Black Bstard Corruption outfit WERE good but the rot is well overdue for the crematorium. These guys are on the way up, dont thwart their progress while they have something good to offer. To be fair, I suppose your comment is right. The bbc DO need to employ such talent but the bbc would instantly destroy that talent so the guys should look down on the globalist NWO directed bbc and laugh at them.
