You can stack GBUs. For example, you could drop one bunker buster it makes a hole. Then you drop another bunker in the same area. You keep making the hole deeper and deeper.

I never thought I'll hear someone saying "Supper Dupper nuke pooper"

Love how this video breaks the myth of gravity-based bomb drops. The shift from WWII dive-bomb physics to today's high-altitude, high-speed delivery is a whole engineering evolution! 💥
@crimsonpomp
I am currently a weapons troop in the USAF and learning the job which involves putting bombs on the aircraft and ensuring it will drop correctly. When learning, we are told to just do things without any real exact reason as to why. This video has given me more information about why we do certain things when loading bombs that no Sergeant has been able to tell me. I might bring this video up to someone within my leadership.
@BillyYo17
Can you imagine the narrators wife is giving birth and hes like:this is alot like bombing
@notarmchairhistorian7779
"WTF" is the first thing that comes to mind with that title. 😂
@Yippst3r
Why did you change the title ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Original title was like, "Why flying is like giving birth"
@hibob841
This was excellent. One quibble, though: the conventional wisdom that goes something like, "WW2 bombers were so inaccurate, they had to destroy a whole city just to shut down one factory". This is what I was taught in school, too, and unfortunately it is sanitized and revisionist. Firstly, the bombing of civilian populations was very much official strategy on both sides. It's horrible, but true. Secondly, precision bombing was only impossible at that time if you tried it from high altitude. Consider the famous Dambusters, or Operation Jericho--where British Mosquito crews managed to take down parts of a wall of a POW prison. It was certainly possible to bomb a factory.

Dude my mom was next to me when that notification came in. I didnt wanna have ti explain that

Loft attacks are absolutely still a thing and not just for nukes. It allows you to stay lower for longer and pop further away from a defended target while also increasing the energy and impact angle of the ordnance on impact. Also LATs are another option, Low Altitude Toss, where you pop up, and then pull down and point the jet at the target and release on the way down, pointing at the target like a modified dive bombing. This allows (and requires) you to be tally target. Lofts you generally arent going to see the target before release. Also SLD Straight Level Delivery from low altitude with high drag bombs, or HARB deliberies for High Altitude straight level deliveries. Then there are Medium Altitude Dive/Glide attacks, like a LAT that starts from med alt, without the pop. Unguided deliveries can still be very, surprisingly accurate with the modern systems and "AUTO" or "CCRP" (Continuously Computed Release Point) deliveries compared to CDIP or CCIP (Cont Displayed Impact Point or Cont Computed Impact Point) which is more the old school manual style. Also the Paveway series LGBs the control fins are the forward fins and the rear are fixed. JDAMs are controlled from the rear (only) fins, obviously. Cool video! Lots of good footage!

"super duper nuke pooper" 😂🤣😂 that's gold
@AirJoe
12:54 toss bombing is still used today for conventional bombs. It can give you more range and allow you to stay low for longer when bombing in with either guided or unguided ordinance
@MessierM66
This is top-tier material. Never been to this channel before so I figured it would be like most others with generic footage and generalized information read by AI. Man, I'm glad I was wrong! I learned a lot from this video and the things I already knew were discussed and explained properly. Nice work guys!
@onenote6619
The problem is older than supersonics. In some earlier jets, the transition layer between zero-speed air in the bay and high-speed air outside had bombs 'bouncing' at the interface. Some solved this as described with 'kicker' pistons or pyrotechnics. At least one fixed it by rotating a slotted plate into place at the front of the bay, moving the interface point outside the bomb bay.
@TommyCorral-z8z
The title caught me off guard for a second
@cptkirkpyro5656
As a dad, "Post operation damage assessment" got me good. lmfao
@hanswurst6712
That video is one of the first times it really is not what i think. I had no idea that bombs can go that wild. Some of those videos of bombdrops shown at the beginning were really crazy.
@mso82
Correction for you at @1:46 - The F35 can fly a lot faster than Mach .09 - Hell, it would fall out of the air at that speed, since it's only about 70 MPH - Love your channel and your style!
@CreelKyle
I really dig the light heartedness and goofiness of this video. I had to double check I was watching you and not someone else haha! "super duper nuker pooper". Never thought I'd hear you say words like that and I'm all for it. Keep it up.
