The F-35s Secret Weapon is Incredible

Actually, the deeper I went about these technologies, the more I realized they r completely not as explained and have soooo many limitations and issues (That includes all technologies not just aircrafts)

Yes, but there is lote of limitations to work it

Don’t forget. This *was* the technology they weren’t telling us about, fool.

There are anything they not telling us cuz other nations are a part of the program. And all the tech was stolen by China anyways 😂

They claimed everything about U2 spy plane before it was brought down by Soviet Union 😄

If you look closely you can see the truck nuts hanging off the back of the plane too!

I read it was between 40 & 50 years. Night vision (or thermal imaging) was supposedly found in the Roswell crash. Foo fighters (the balls of whatever,,that buzzed allied aircraft), probably Nazi design. I dont know how much of it I believe, i doubt roswell was a ET craft, but communist or nazi craft. The germans were the most intelligent, fantastic engineers, in the world. Hence the race to drag them off to US/Soviet installations, in return for immunity.

yeah this is pretty much a smaller ALQ-131pod mixed with MALD tech , I wonder what the effect envelope would be

The ALE-50 towed decoy. It can be mounted on a bunch of aircraft. I would guess this is a next gen version using the computing and sensor power of the F-35.

Its much more effective on a stealth aircraft of course, since the f16 itself would be a big glowing target that would be much harder for the decoy to copy.

The secret is in the signals it emits. Things like this have been done for before, the F16 did had had a pod that acted as a decoy when doing seed. There are also cruise missiles that are used as decoys/scramblers. The secret is not in THAT it happens, but in HOW it happens.

The F-18C f-16, and the F-111 had this

Yea I was gonna say it seems like they could’ve done this 10 years ago. Pretty simple design with just a fiber optic cable that sends out pulses to “distract” missiles

The tow decoy system has been around for a long time for sure. Not just in fighters.

Lol, correct. It is called a towed array... Everything from ships and submarines to advanced missiles have them

I Love the antiquated concept of torpedo nets from a century ago. I seriously think there could be modern applications for it, if someone would bother with it. I don't see why the concept couldn't be expanded to an airborne platform as well, floated by drones, with high-tensile nets that are either high-explosive or discharge electrical current- hitting an incoming missile with our own missile leaves _zero_ margin for error, while deploying high tech nets gives at least _some_ margin. Plus, when our defensive missile misses, it's speeding out of the area, while loitering nets stretched between drones, would still be there, ready for follow-up salvos. I also don't see why we can't design loitering drones with CIWS, so that CIWS doesn't have to be a last-ditch defense.

That is a different thing - you are thinking of MALD, where this sort of tech is on a cruise missile

@@MSkallywagg Yeah I think they started development in '87 and had it on the Tornado since the early 90´s and on the Typhoon from ~'95 or so.

It should be mentioned however that the ALE-70 on the F-35 is said to be a generation ahead of the older ALE-55. There’s also the fact that the decoys jamming ability gets a boost purely because it’s connected to an F-35 and can use its jamming array.

@@swiffersweatjet7815 Actually, how it works is that whenever it detects an incoming threat, the decoy transformes into a bald eagle that rips the incoming missile apart in its vibranium claws. xD But fun aside, I don't doubt that decoy on the F-35 is pretty advanced stuff, wouldn't surprise me if its a little ahead of the british stuff too.

They probably already do

They program time limit on arming and it does not find a new target in about 12 seconds it self detonates

Most technology is a fairly simple concept really. Radar and guidance systems are really simple concepts. It's a matter of just having the correct materials to make it feasible.

F-35s fly 25-40nm from each other, not in close formation.

According to my father who was an f4 pilot in Vietnam and later on in an f15, did indeed have jammers and been around for decades

Everybody in AFROTC wanted to be a pilot. Always the coveted dream job.

It's the kind of countermeasure that's hard to beat even if you know it exists. Most air to air missiles have independent targeting, meaning once they are launched they rely on (mostly) their own sensors to find the target. You would have to invest some serious money and time into making the missiles much smarter and totally change the way they can find and attack targets. It's like knowing your enemy has near perfect camouflage. Just knowing they have it still doesn't tell you where they are hiding. Some air to air missiles are wire or radio guided by the pilot or a weapons officer in the plane. Most of these are really old- 60's and 70's era tech- and have limited range and effectiveness. Either the missile is too short-range to hit targets from a safe range, the missile is too fast to guide once it reaches terminal range, or it's too slow and easy to avoid. Most militaries stopped using them decades ago, tho I think Russia still uses some.

Yep and by the time they build one the US will be another 15 years ahead in technology.
