Could US Tanker, Cargo & Bomber Aircraft Defend Themselves With Mini Missile Swarms? | DCS

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]Hello valued viewers. I hope you're all doing very well. The US Air Force just invested $0.5 billion to create a self-defense system for cargo and tanker aircraft to protect themselves from hostile air-to-air missiles, surfaceto-air missiles, and attack drones. The system is called LAS, large aircraft survivability system. Lass is to be an onboard sensor and processing suite which can detect, classify and nullify inbound threats either via purely electronic means, electronic seducers and or kinetic interceptors i.e. missiles. regards to kinetic interceptors or aectors as they're known, which is what we're looking at today. An example could be the very real MSDM or miniature selfdefense munition.

[00:00:52]A tiny 3-FFT IRG guided missile, roughly the same size and weight as a shoulder launched man pads missile, which would be stored on mass inside modular canisters on the mother aircraft. Today we're going to test our own kinetic lass. But as leader of the Grim Reapers, as well as testing new ideas, I also have the responsibility to make a fun mission for my human pilots. This is very difficult to do when trying to use Lass on cargo or tanker aircraft realistically. So, we've expanded Lass's remmit to include strategic bombers for today to allow a more exciting mission.

[00:01:35]Today's mission is against a fictional Top Gun Maverick style nation called Iran. Iran has a fictional nuclear program that must be stopped at all costs. The country has no air force, but is guarded against air incursion by a huge Cordad 3 SAM network. Each SAM has a range of roughly 100 miles and covers the entire country's airspace. You can see them here. Eight cordads there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there. And a massive interlaced coverage by a hugely fortunate oversight in the Cordad network placement. There is a gap in the coverage, a 160 m shallow canyon that conveniently leads all the way to the heart of the nuclear program. here. Our job today is to send an almost unbelievably unrealistic but sexy low-level bombing mission down the canyon to take out the reactor.

[00:02:31]Realizing the defense weakness, the Iranis have placed 22 groundbased drone launchers along the canyon. These launchers, when alerted, will launch Iranian UAVs armed with the large stockpile of moderately effective 1970s Soviet short-range IRG guided missiles. As our bomber rungs the canyon, the drones will launch and try to shoot him down. Whatever shall he do?

[00:03:00]If only a large bomber had some kind of kinetic defense. And that's where we start here, guys. So, unrealistic but interesting test bed, guys. We're going to first decide which bomber we're going to use. And it has to be the mighty B1.

[00:03:14]The sexiest bomber ever made. In real life, it has, well, as far as we know, no offensive defense. It has chaff. It has flare. It has some electronic warfare, but nothing else. So, today we packed it with a small.

[00:03:30]We don't have the MSDM. We do have another futuristic small missile though.

[00:03:35]It's known as Peragrin. Peraguin has now been cancelled I believe, but it was to be a 5.5 foot long active radar guided missile, a mini AM RAM, only 60% the length of a side winder because it's so small and it can be canisterized. There are, believe it or not, 200 sitting inside the Bombay of that B1R. So, that's going to make a nice test bed for us today. We're going to run it twice.

[00:03:59]First, we're going to run him down with an ESCL, and that's us F-16s. And the B1 is not going to be able to defend himself. So, he's a normal B1 and we're going to defend him. Note, don't go above the canyon walls, guys. Or try not to because these SAMs are real and they will shoot you down. And we're going to see how well we can protect him against the Aranastani drones. Then we're going to try again, but just the B1 on his own with his 200 effects and see how well he can do. I don't think there's much point of making predictions cuz well, we have no idea what's going to happen. So, let's go. Um, push, stay there. We're on our way. Set low level so you don't get shot down. Boys, come with me. We've got some amans and some sidewinders. And of course, Dark has the uh not the Union Jack. I need a Union Jack on mine, don't I? Uh he's got the Stars and Stripes.

[00:04:45]Today's pilots. Oh, let me think. H is in the B1 at the moment. Uh we got Dark, we've got Dirty, and we've got Cannibal.

[00:04:51]Hello, boys.

[00:04:53]>> Hello.

[00:04:53]>> Hello. Hello.

[00:04:55]>> Right, take a moment to set your jet up cuz we'll only forget, and it'll be very embarrassing when the missiles don't fire and all the swearing comes out.

[00:05:02]Want to change your load out first, Cap?

[00:05:04]>> No, I'm fine. Uh, I got a few missiles.

[00:05:06]Uh, I get feeling this is going to be a massive ball lake anyway. Lowle drones always a problem. Let's go, guys.

[00:05:14]And let's go and protect that bomber.

[00:05:16]So, as I alluded to in the briefing, viewers, it was I tried to make a sexy mission defending a tanker and it was I don't know. It just didn't work very well. It's not just defending the tanker, it's having something for the tanker to shoot down. And yeah, I figured if we're going to do this, let's go silly. Let's go top Maverick. Let's go Canyon. Let's go pseudo Iran. Really unrealistic, but fun.

[00:05:43]I see Pushington. There he is. Big fat B1. A lot of people try and tell me just on the topic of B1, as amazing as it is, it's a stealth plane. I don't know where this misnomer, it's the bad thing about the internet, YouTube, you get these weird misnomers that come up. It is not stealth plane. It never was a stealth plane. Neither was the SR71. Yes, its radar cross-section is much smaller than equivalent size and weight aircraft, but you know, it's still very much visible on radar at a long distance. It is not still like >> relative to a B-52.

[00:06:15]>> Yeah, relative. Yeah, it's a lot smaller on a radar than the B-52, but it's really not saying a lot. Um, yeah, I've got you locked. And as an example, we can see him pretty easily. Yeah, same thing SR71 because it looks a little bit like a Raptor in terms of its curves.

[00:06:28]People keep saying it's stealthy. I've talked to, you know, luckily I get to meet quite a few pilots and stuff. I've talked to a real uh was a navigator from an SR71 that was even involved in helping to repair the SR71 at some point because it used to damage itself so much. He said, "Yeah, they were seeing me at hundreds of well, maybe not hundreds of miles, but well over 100 miles. It has no stealth attributes in real life at all.

[00:06:55]It's just the internet fuzzies saying weird things, doesn't it? Right, I'm going to check on map. Viewers, we're allowed to use the map today. Uh, we're navigating to Pushing Mushing Dumboo.

[00:07:02]Hello, boys. Are you having a good day?

[00:07:10]Boys are here.

[00:07:14]I can't say I don't try and make some fun missions. I don't know if it's going to be fun or just frustrating. Probably the latter knowing us. Lost sight of pooched areas. When ready, pooch, please turn for the start of the canyon. It'll be marked on your attack map and start working your way down the canyon. And I guess we see what happens. Guys, arm your weapons.

[00:07:31]>> That's why you're going first.

[00:07:33]Brilliant. Push is going freaking first.

[00:07:35]Got freaking stars and stripes all over me. I wonder where he comes from. Is it Germany?

[00:07:44]Also, fictional country's best countries.

[00:07:47]No demonetization here.

[00:07:55]down to about 350 now.

[00:07:56]>> Roger. Roger. Uh you can see on our maps the massive network of death that we're in. Get ready for air brakes. And now what a great plane. Did you know guys that um at the moment 70% of all operational B1s, which probably isn't a lot, uh these are very expensive to maintain. So US doesn't keep them all operational. only keeps a fraction of them operational are in the UK or operating from the UK at the moment because there have been striking Iran you know have done a few weeks ago. I found that interesting.

[00:08:26]>> You mean you mean Iranistan?

[00:08:28]>> Iranistan Iran saved alo is amazing the B-52 has now been extended to be a 100y old plane. A 100y old plane. I mean how old is aviation? It's like 100 years isn't it?

[00:08:43]It's crazy. Bloody Americans. Crazy. Uh oh, here we go. Bushing boo. What's he seen? Right. I'm going to trust that he's going to keep us. Right. I need to stop yapping now cuz we're now in Kanistan, aren't we? Has anyone seen a contact of 20 mi or is that a ghost contact? It's got to be a ghost, isn't it?

[00:09:03]It's a ghost.

[00:09:04]>> Indoors 18. Yeah, I think it's a ghost.

[00:09:06]>> Ghost. Yeah. It's funny that we both see the same ghost, though. Slightly worrying.

[00:09:11]thing about radars is viewers, it doesn't always just pick up planes. It picks up other stuff as well. Read uh reports from F-14 pilots that were picking up just everything. All fake, all fake signals generated by the WG9.

[00:09:26]What they have to do if they go into, you know, proper long-range combat shooting at I don't know, bloody sparrows as in the bird, not the missile. Contact. Contact. Those are not go signals. Not two, not two of them. I have a lock on the one on the left.

[00:09:41]>> Okay, cannibal, take left. Dark, take right. Uh, dirty back up. I'm going to stay back and watch.

[00:09:47]>> Watch this. Inevitably go wrong. I'm going to be last line of resort as well.

[00:09:52]Got that guy locked. There he is. There he is. Yep. That's a baddy. He's come off the launch pad. Look.

[00:09:57]>> Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Smash him in the face. It's going to get him. It's going to get him. Oh, Fox 3. Oo, this is going to be fun. This is 160 mi of this viewers and >> there at my 2:00.

[00:10:12]>> He's dead.

[00:10:15]>> 12:00 still. No, I think it's on the ground. It's on the ground. Whatever it is.

[00:10:20]>> It's dead. It's dead. Z's dead. All right. Uh, that's it. There's not much to say. Just don't get too far ahead.

[00:10:26]>> Or do I?

[00:10:28]>> What? I think we're good. Yeah. Well, me and me and the package we get anyway.

[00:10:32]You know me. I love a good package.

[00:10:34]That's it, viewers. On we go.

[00:10:36]>> Canyon Ho.

[00:10:38]ahead. Are they >> contacted about 10 miles low?

[00:10:44]>> I got locked.

[00:10:45]>> Cannibal first guy dark or um >> thingy take rear.

[00:10:51]>> Yeah, my whis cannibal fox three.

[00:10:53]>> Oh, first one's missed.

[00:10:55]>> Drop lock.

[00:10:57]>> I told him when he gets out run by a drone. These Iranian drones are freaking Got him. Got him. You got >> someone have the near drone. I've got him locked again. He's still flying.

[00:11:08]He's still flying.

[00:11:11]>> Yeah. God.

[00:11:13]>> How did he Oh my god. He My missile >> He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. Yeah, that was a That was a thing. Drones are really hard to fight against. Missiles actually struggle with slow flying objects. They can do. Are you on that one, D? Cuz I haven't seen them blow up yet. I'm going to go into action.

[00:11:28]>> Get him. Yes, you did. Well done.

[00:11:32]>> Under pressure, viewers.

[00:11:34]>> I was about to shoot that one with the gun. Yeah, the first one.

[00:11:37]>> Each one is on its own is not a threat, but you can easily get overwhelmed and once you're out of Right, I've lost the freaking package. Where's my sexy packet? There he is. All is well. All is well. Right.

[00:11:46]>> That was close, Cat.

[00:11:47]>> It was, wasn't it?

[00:11:50]They do have head-on aspect box twos as well, so just know that.

[00:11:56]Also, I'm a little high. I'm getting shot by radar. I'm getting targeted by radar. Bloody radar is looking at me.

[00:12:00]Why can't I see? Oh, didn't turn my RW.

[00:12:02]>> Two targets front.

[00:12:05]>> The first to know.

[00:12:07]>> Jesus Christ. My almost hit a returning F16. Um. Oh, come on. Don't outrun.

[00:12:13]Yeah, boys. Freaking boys. While we're celebrating, it's kind of easy, isn't it? But I don't know. Teamwork makes the freaking dream work. Okay, I'm blowing 360 up the next one of you. Isn't it how convenient how a runner star put these at perfect intervals so we can predict exactly when they're coming? But that's kind of matches the intelligence they used to set their cord at my heads up.

[00:12:35]So, I'm doing a 360 cuz I can tell I'm going to get sniped by one of my boys.

[00:12:40]There's the package. Look, one of my boys stayed with the package. That's effing teamwork.

[00:12:46]I see a contact at 10 miles. I don't know if it's a ghost yet.

[00:12:50]>> I see it, too. It's not a ghost.

[00:12:52]>> I'm bracketing left to get a shot down that canyon. Excuse me. Missiles don't work very well very low down like this views, but they work. But what I'm saying is they run into cies.

[00:13:02]>> All right. Will, guys, fire breaking wheel.

[00:13:05]>> Fox three.

[00:13:05]>> I don't see the second one.

[00:13:07]>> F the second one.

[00:13:08]>> I guess the second one.

[00:13:12]>> What was that gap? You have one.

[00:13:13]>> I f I think I fired the second one.

[00:13:15]Yeah.

[00:13:15]>> Did someone get the first one?

[00:13:17]>> I think so.

[00:13:17]>> I got the first one. He's dead.

[00:13:20]>> My missile went for the My missile has been beaten amazingly by a drone. Uh, and he's gone to dog fight in the mountains. That's a you problem, guys.

[00:13:27]>> Skill issue.

[00:13:28]>> No, not a skill issue. A sexiness issue.

[00:13:31]Oh my god. I Oh, you're going to love that when the video comes up. I don't know how that happens. I might get a kill from this now. That is a skill is Oh, he's beating it kinematically.

[00:13:40]Drone beating. Um, question mark. He's in the mountains somewhere. I completely lost visual on him.

[00:13:47]>> Bloody UAV pilots on target. I got Oh god, he's behind us.

[00:13:52]Behind us. behind us.

[00:13:55]>> Shoot him. HE'S SHOT AT YOU. HE SHOT. HE SHOT. HE SHOT. OH MY GOD. LOST AN F16.

[00:14:00]>> NOPE. I'm good.

[00:14:01]>> [ __ ] three.

[00:14:02]>> Cannonball. [ __ ] three.

[00:14:03]>> Oh no. Oh [ __ ] This is all going to go wrong, isn't it?

[00:14:07]Jump. Jump. Cannonball. Splash.

[00:14:11]>> You got him. And no friendly fire. Oh my god. That wasn't panic. That definitely wasn't panic. Continue. Continue the objective. Right.

[00:14:18]>> Armor always gets through.

[00:14:19]>> Armor always gets through. and trying to get shot down. Another one on radar. Oh goodness. Right 10 miles. I'm going to go for the far one. Ox three.

[00:14:29]Autopilot on. Be okay at this altitude.

[00:14:31]And boommy boom is smashy. Dirty.

[00:14:34]Staying with the package.

[00:14:35]>> Oh, okay. Wow. Look at the cost of the uh MQ9s that they use. They use them to real cheap ass UAVs. Oh my god. Is it going to miss? Is it going to miss?

[00:14:45]Inexraably, the AM RAM always finds his man. Someone's between me and the target.

[00:14:51]>> It missed. Oh my god, I missed. That was embarrassing. Oh my god, I'M GETTING SHOT AT. I was out.

[00:14:59]>> I may have been a little bit distracted with this shot.

[00:15:01]>> Splash.

[00:15:02]>> Oh my goodness. My one survived his kit and he's coming at you. I don't know how we made this thing so difficult. Right.

[00:15:08]So, you are a few miles away and he's homing on a boat. No, he's not homing on the boat. He's homing in on an F-16.

[00:15:15]>> Cannonball Fox 3 on the last drone. And that's my uh missile's gone.

[00:15:20]>> Roger that. Good shot, Flash. You got him. I'm a spectator. I think it's hard to fly and spectate viewers. I'm quite happy with that, to be honest. It just has this amazing way of becoming difficult, isn't it?

[00:15:30]>> I'm down to gun. All right, let's see how far we are. We are uh 40% of the way. Yeah, this is going to get incrementally harder, isn't it?

[00:15:39]>> I've been merged with two of them, though. I was going to deal with guns, but why does it say you crash?

[00:15:48]of the reasons. The reasons happen front >> miss. There was a miss.

[00:15:54]>> They're really bloody hard to kill.

[00:15:56]They're like the best dog fighters in the world. Iran's fun. They're like gamers.

[00:16:01]Missile miss. Missile.

[00:16:05][ __ ] Um I don't know. You're a 200 b.

[00:16:07]You do have players. You do have players. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. The B1's save. Oh my god. He's so close. He's now turning in.

[00:16:15]Can we have someone take that rear >> one with him? He's doing dog fighting with us.

[00:16:20]>> Good black one.

[00:16:25]>> Roger. Asymmetric warfare is a problem.

[00:16:27]He's going to go 100 knots.

[00:16:29]>> Yeah, there's a problem, viewers. FC is not designed to beat this thing in a dog fight.

[00:16:34]Anyone Oh [ __ ] D stole his plane. If anyone's got Fox 2, send it in there.

[00:16:38]Now's the time.

[00:16:41][ __ ] Yeah, that's the problem with trying to dog fight with a 100 not playing. It is really difficult. It's why war birds always beat up 16s when we fight, right? Cannonball, you got to bait him.

[00:16:51]>> Lost visual.

[00:16:52]>> Well, that went sour pretty quickly. In comes Cannonball. Can he I mean, this thing's going 174 knots. It's perfectly buoyant.

[00:16:58]>> I can't turn my nose hard enough.

[00:17:03]>> Yeah, some extra warfare. Hardest warfare. Hammers are really struggling with them, guys. That one. Good shot. 12 down. All right. Keep going dirty.

[00:17:12]There's another one ahead of you. Got one more missile.

[00:17:15]One more missile. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:17:18]>> Oh, come on.

[00:17:20]>> That's a massive die.

[00:17:25]How did that miss? Oh [ __ ] No. You're in a dog fight. Good luck.

[00:17:30]>> Oh no, the moon's HERE WITH AN EXPANDING rod warhead. Are you alive, Poo?

[00:17:37]>> I am still alive.

[00:17:38]>> Keep going. Keep going. It's got a damage model. I think it has anyway. I know it does. In fact, it's not coming out of it. So, I think it does. Yeah.

[00:17:46]Good luck.

[00:17:48]Pear shape. Dirt. He's got to try and do asymmetric. I mean, look at it turn compared to Dirty. I mean, it's probably a little bit unrealistic. I'm not going to lie. It's, you know, it's not designed for dog fighting in in this game, but still big wings, lightweight gives excellent turn fighter. F16 will struggle always. Come on dirty. Come on dirty. Come on dirty. Come on dirty.

[00:18:09]He's lining up. He's lining up the bone.

[00:18:14]I think you killed not killed him. Have killed him and not killed him. Are the bullets hitting him?

[00:18:19]Has anyone hit him with a bullet?

[00:18:21]>> I have no idea.

[00:18:22]>> Not I have hit him with bullets and nothing's happened.

[00:18:25]>> Ah, yeah. Well, it may simply be a damage problem.

[00:18:28]>> Yeah.

[00:18:29]>> Yeah. I mean, if we're down to guns, that's probably mission over anyway. Is the B1 Yeah, the B1's not on the map anymore. I think we've reached our apex anyway at this point, guys. It looks like they're not taking the bullet here for some reason. Viewers, it's a little bit annoying, but >> I'm still flying, but I'm not on the map. Yeah.

[00:18:44]>> Yeah, you're not on the map. You're you're mission dead basically. Pushing.

[00:18:47]How far did we get? Yeah, I don't think it really matters, viewers, whether they're taking a bullet or not. By that point, most of the F16s are dead. And we did 90 nautical miles. Did you get shot dirty now? Dirty speed hit question.

[00:18:57]We're alive. Alive. Still legal tender.

[00:19:02]>> Oh, dirt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a thing, I'm afraid. Shot down. Well, the F-16 certainly got a damage model. What were we trying to prove there? Not nothing. We're just trying to get a baseline. We're just trying to get a baseline.

[00:19:13]All the difficulties. I mean, ignoring the gun bug, all the difficulties are trying to shoot these suckers low down.

[00:19:18]Amram struggling, you know, communication issues, them sneaking up on you. I'm ordering you now uh to eject and make your way back post haste eastbound at ground level. And boom.

[00:19:31]Right, that's our baseline. We got 90 mi and then it all went a little bit crazy, but we all want to know how uh Cannibal's body does. So, let's see. I believe he goes too fast. So, what you've probably done there is you slightly offset the balance of the plane, the center of gravity and free air show. Also, the screen breaks on.

[00:19:50]>> Yeah, but he was balanced.

[00:19:53]Yes. Look at that. Is it the AOA limiter?

[00:19:58]Not just a last video, but aerodynamics 101 and fly by wire control system limitations.

[00:20:06]>> It's got the rocket ship thing going.

[00:20:08]It's got it center gravity far enough that it just won't fall over, >> right? But enough thrust to keep it up.

[00:20:14]>> Yep.

[00:20:15]>> SpaceX. Yo, was that a drone killing a drone effectively?

[00:20:22]>> That would be drone on drone violence.

[00:20:24]There we go. Best type of proms, viewers. All right. Well, whatever that was. Whatever that was. We're sending the bone down on his own. Oh, right. Off we go. B1 to space. Dark's in control of B1. He's going on his own this time.

[00:20:37]Just getting the controls ready.

[00:20:39]We wish you the best. How many missiles do I have? Uh, >> yes. You got 200, Dark.

[00:20:46]No, you got 60. No, you got more than you're going to need if I test fire them anyway.

[00:20:52]>> Why not? Actually, I can't remember how how many I giving anyone remember. I don't know. It's lost. It's plenty.

[00:20:56]You'll be fine. Aha. Yes. Hostile. 1:00.

[00:21:00]2:00.

[00:21:01]Looks like about 10 miles. Ladies and gentlemen, our version of last. Look at the tiny little missile. Wham. We're using the A Rabon AIM uh 200A.

[00:21:11]5 1/2 ft. So, a little bit bigger than MSDM, but Oh, still just as effective.

[00:21:16]I'm a tiny missile. Range 20-ish miles.

[00:21:21]Boom. Three on the second one. Do we need Oh, hit the ground. Hit the ground bar again. Luckily, the good lord saw fit to give you a million. I'm coming for you.

[00:21:36]Got him.

[00:21:39]Bone last bone. You know what I should have done? Thinking about it, I should have put a swarm of them, like 30 of them all coming at him at once, and he would have to go pang p.

[00:21:49]Maybe we'll do it afterwards. That'll be funny.

[00:21:52]>> New targets. New target. Dispatch.

[00:21:58]It's so majestic. Look, it turns like a It's a big slow old cow. I love it. Here I come. It's not the world's fastest missile. It maxes out about two times the speed of sound. It's all you need against a drone anyway. They're trying to run away from it.

[00:22:11]Funny. Boom. One down.

[00:22:14]Whoosh.

[00:22:17]That drone almost hit the ground.

[00:22:19]>> Right. I mean, they're doing a bloody good job at evading to be honest. It missed it. Oh wow, I missed. All right, Dark's now in trouble. Well, there's your problem. Missiles down here really struggle. Really struggle. Going to bend. It's bending. It's bending. I am bending. I'm bend friaking Willis.

[00:22:34]Not escaping that. Good followup shot.

[00:22:36]Darkest workers implosion. I wonder if that will ever be one in core game.

[00:22:43]>> Huh. Uh, well, >> dual fidelity model.

[00:22:48]>> Pretty old. Why not? Oh, didn't even see it coming. It's kind of putting F16 to shame, isn't it? And these aren't great missiles. They're not fast. They're definitely not maneuverable cuz we didn't program them to be remove maneuverable, did we?

[00:23:02]>> One thing it helps is there's not there's no confusion because oh, I forgot to tell you about the sensors, viewers. Sorry, been a bit of a hectic day. Sorry. The real cargo planes, they're not getting a radar per se. What they're getting is a sensor suite much more akin to existing MWS missile warning systems that detect the heat of the missile, the optical of the missile, whatever of the missile, put it into a central processor, classify it, and then attack that missile or attack that threat with whatever the best thing to do is. So that's what's happening now.

[00:23:29]We can't model that per se. So, what we've done is a little bit cheaty, but we've put a radar in the front of the boat and we've given it part semi hemisphere, if that's the right word, so it can see that entire hemisphere around here. Sort of. We're simulating the MWS.

[00:23:44]Basically, it's a small radar. It only sees about 20 m. So, we can't be out there, you know, sniping planes with it.

[00:23:52]But that's simulating the rough effectiveness of the real MWS. So, that's how we're doing it. I guess like a mini version of F35 D. It's much smaller, much cheaper. He's going to have not today. Pig dog shot away on this road.

[00:24:08]>> Yeah. So, that's the closest we can get at the moment for him. He's looking for something to hide behind. He can't find it.

[00:24:14]Wow. What can I say, guys?

[00:24:18]Big sexy time.

[00:24:24]>> About 80 miles to go.

[00:24:26]>> There's been much less panic so far. And like I said, these are technically worse missiles than amra. So target locked three.

[00:24:35]Okay. Well, he got a second one. Roger.

[00:24:38]The good launch will fit to give you lots. So use them. He's toast. Freaking toast.

[00:24:45]Or me. The missiles are batching.

[00:24:47]>> Oh, this one. He's He's going to scrape it against the house. Oh, he hit a house just about. Yeah.

[00:24:54]>> Just keep pumping. Just give him another one. Just keep pumping. Right. No house for you, sir.

[00:25:01]It's awfully satisfying, viewers. You can't say it's not, right?

[00:25:04]>> New targets.

[00:25:07]>> Fresh meat.

[00:25:08]>> Fresh meat for the grinders.

[00:25:11]I enjoy watching their tiny little AI brains trying to figure the problem out.

[00:25:16]What's the thing I need to do? What do I do? Do I do this? Do I do this part? Am I doing it right?

[00:25:22]Not today. These missiles are very cinematic. They seem to go deliberately low like under wires and stuff just to be cinematic. Could he dodge it?

[00:25:31]>> Could he dodge it? No, I don't think so.

[00:25:37]>> Bye-bye. See you soon.

[00:25:39]>> Oh, I have a king for the B1. All right.

[00:25:41]Yeah.

[00:25:44]All right. Everyone loves a good boner.

[00:25:46]>> Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.

[00:25:53]I'm going to illuminate your problem.

[00:25:58]Smash.

[00:26:02]Another kink in the canyon, but he's pretty much getting towards the home run now. Trying to lead it into some housings.

[00:26:09]He's trying to lead it into some wires.

[00:26:11]Not today. Bye. Oh, he just smashed into a pylon. Well over halfway now. One more kink and then that's home free. Come on, big girl. Turn.

[00:26:26]She's got curves. Got to love the curves. Launch rams everywhere, guys.

[00:26:30]Oh, he's evaded it. He's evaded it.

[00:26:33]Uh-oh. They finally finally outf foxed the dark. Spending, spending, spending, spending, spending, spending, spending.

[00:26:40]Oh, no. No, no, no. Yeah, I think they've out fox. Yeah. And he's not going to be able to dogfight that. So, um I Yeah, I don't know what to suggest there. Um just keep running. I hope you out running. Get ready.

[00:26:51]>> All the flares.

[00:26:52]>> Yeah, you do have countermeasures and the real plane does have countermeasures.

[00:26:56]Inevitably, it was going to break down, viewers.

[00:26:59]What's that drone going to do about it?

[00:27:01]200 ton plane with completely screwed wings spars like in real life. It's not going to be a dog fight. But that is a drone and it can only go 200 knots.

[00:27:08]>> I've got more targets on the nose.

[00:27:10]>> Yeah, I'll concentrate on that if I were you. He can't get a look on you because of the counter measures.

[00:27:17]>> The drone behind is still dodging.

[00:27:20]>> Uh-oh. I'm out of counter measures.

[00:27:23]It'll help if they have a counter or something for him in here.

[00:27:25]>> No, we won't give you that. Other guy's being a complete idiot anyway, so you might get away with it. We'll see. And you're 200 knots faster than you.

[00:27:32]>> Yeah, rear one.

[00:27:34]>> Hit the ground. Hit the ground. Hit the ground. They're getting smarter. They're learning all of your Hit the ground. Oh [ __ ] Yeah, >> it's Skynet.

[00:27:43]>> Skynet's learned. And now the missiles are struggling.

[00:27:46]Yeah. Oh dear. Keep running. Keep running. Hope for the best.

[00:27:51]SW is finally breaking down, viewers.

[00:27:53]It's finally No, it's not. Gotcha.

[00:27:57]Ah. Right. Well, how does that one behind him looking? Yeah, he's out of wares. That's kind of a problem.

[00:28:03]>> Half my missiles. So, I'd say you put 60 in.

[00:28:06]>> Um, well, you're well over halfway.

[00:28:07]Look, he's got missiles. They definitely work. We 100% know that. So, look, I've out fox. Why I didn't tell Dark was that I was going to start spawning them in as swarms. You're now dealing this whole swarms of them.

[00:28:24]They're everywhere. There's one there.

[00:28:26]There's one there. There's one there.

[00:28:28]There's one there. Ah, I like being mean to my boys. Makes me kind of happy.

[00:28:33]Shot. He's dealing with the swarms.

[00:28:36]One's got point blank. I don't think he's going to be able to hit that one.

[00:28:40]Or is he? Or freaking is he freaking dark? Swarms are not nothing to dark.

[00:28:46]Yeah, they're spawning in in eights or sixes. I can't even remember. He's actually going to run out of missiles, isn't he? Yeah.

[00:28:55]Ah, the swarm is graceful. The swarm is majestic. The swarm is everything.

[00:29:02]Still alive. Missile out.

[00:29:04]>> Oh, he's got no flares. He's got no flares. POOR DARK. Let me check if he's on the map.

[00:29:11]If he's off the map, then they won't show on the map. He's still on the map.

[00:29:13]>> See, you're still going. It's legal tender. Quite the damn fight, dog.

[00:29:16]>> Spawned in.

[00:29:17]>> I want to have a look on the map. Yeah.

[00:29:19]1 2 3 4 5 six. At least six around him at the moment. And he is just shooting off his freaking load like a freaking bachelor on speed. And almost certainly demonic. He's just firing everything button. Push everything buttons.

[00:29:35]Ah. You are no threat.

[00:29:37]>> I was teasing you by saying there wasn't going to be a swarm.

[00:29:40]>> There was can't remember how many there tanking his missiles.

[00:29:47]>> Not fair.

[00:29:49]>> Shot. 22 down. I can't even remember how many I put in. I expect it's probably all >> what just ejected from.

[00:29:56]>> I don't know. I don't know. The battery.

[00:30:00]Who knows? I can't believe it's killing these guys. This is really live.

[00:30:06]I am out of the easy missiles.

[00:30:08]>> Well, that was the last guy, so you got a little bit lucky there, Dark. Oh no, there's one guy survived.

[00:30:12]>> One more.

[00:30:13]>> He's got one more. Just keep going past him. Go past him. Wings back. Wings back. Wings back. Go, go, go, GO, GO.

[00:30:18]HE'S COMING. AH.

[00:30:19]>> I DON'T know if I can. I don't know if I can put him back anymore. I don't have any systems left.

[00:30:23]>> Ah. Um, turn. He's going to miss you anyway. He's going to miss you. You are You can't touch my big bone. All right, Doc. Get to the nuclear power plant, which I didn't even put in cuz I didn't think we would go this far. So, I'm going to make it a town ahead of you. 12 miles. Find the town. Find the thing that most looks like a nuclear reactor there and put your face into it. Thanks.

[00:30:41]Yeah. Visual town. Visual town.

[00:30:42]>> All right. Oh, there's plenty of big buildings there. Choose one and get demonetized. I should say at this point, viewers, for uh my legal stipulations, the town was of course evacuated ahead of time like Chernobyl is now. I don't know what to say. Uh yeah, there's no humans there.

[00:30:56]>> Everyone looks at me crazy when I tell them I want to go to Chernobyl.

[00:30:59]>> I want to go to Chernobyl. It's literally my dream to go to Chernobyl.

[00:31:01]I've read about five books in Chernobyl.

[00:31:03]Know everything about Chernobyl.

[00:31:05]>> Do you want to get in that reactor casement and have a look? Just let me have a damn look at it.

[00:31:10]>> Considering how often you already are sick, >> I've had plenty of radiation already.

[00:31:16]It's just freaking smashes into Oh, your reactor program are all belong to my boner. I mean, >> I see a beautiful apartment building. I mean reactor to >> reactor building. Yeah, they made them look like this, viewers, so uh you wouldn't bomb them with B1's. Uh and the doorbell rings. How inconvenient. Me, you got it. You got it. Dark. Uh that's it, guys. Um we uh tried our version of last. We tried to make it a sighting mission. I hope you enjoyed it as well.

[00:31:47]It's an interesting concept and it's if it happens in real life, it's going to be interesting because it's going to be a mixture, as I said, of electronic electronic decoy. You know, dangling a decoy out the back of your aircraft. Um, possibly d laser dazzlers and um and kinetictors like we saw here. But that worked really well. Well done, Dark.

[00:32:03]Well done, boys. Any comments?

[00:32:04]>> That was fun.

[00:32:05]>> We had some fun. I'm going to go and answer the door. Bye-bye, viewers.
