USAF New Rapid Dragon Weapon: A C17 Launching 45 Cruise Missiles

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed or scared. Either way, a lot of buck for your boom.

I absolutely love your channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it weird that I have a stiffie?

Wait why 45 different targets why not 45 to one target. I mean make shure you delete it

Ironically, this idea was put forth in a science-fiction novel over thirty years ago; The Prince of Sparta by Jerry Pournelle and SM Stirling. (Falkenberg's Legion). The missile was called Thor, and they described it as "rolling missiles" (off the ramp). Terminal guidance was supplied by special forces teams.

Love to see this with small diameter bombs, perhaps augmented with obsolete rocket assist, as the obsolete rockets are just lying about consuming money to store. I wonder if 100 could be put on a C-130.

The fun part is when you know we can throw nuclear payloads on this same design and have a c17 not a c130 drop 45 nukes at once

Every bomber pilot: "THEY TERK ERR JEEERBS"

They should have named that system BLAMazon Prime

E-6 in the Air Force is a Tech Sergeant, not a Staff Sergeant. That would be an E-5. Love you, keep up the videos.

Absolute genius..

The crewchief would not launch the pallet out the back of the plane, he is a maintenance technician. That job would fall on the Loadmaster, who is responsible for all cargo and passengers in the back, to include performing airdrop duties. I used to be a loadmaster on C-5s, but we didn't airdrop.

The cargo chief should wear black hooded robe and carry a scythe.

To be fair at the price rate of military projects you could probably throw away a handful of o-rings and exceed some poor grunt's salary.

They should do cruise missiles that carry platoons of grunts

Sooo uh





I'm watching a Plane ... literally shit missles out of the hatch....

In 2022 the newest JAASM, designated "XR", started production. It's range is +1000 miles. Daaayum!

That first map was from Kyle to where?

The math we need i schools “America has a C-17 with 45 hunter killer drones each costing 1,266,000$. How much money will it cost to strick fear into the heart of starving communists?”

On the upside of this: the missile is expensive but you save on the delivery platform. And its escort. And the sead. And so much more.

See. Thats why i am not scared about any j20 dragons or su whatever number felony charges.
They will die from stress just watching US logistics go by.

Ah yes, the Yeetus DELEETUS

Ive seen range of the AGM 158 upto 1000 miles

Good thing you didn't "randomly" select the distance between Taipei and the Three Gorges Dam.

Imagining Ukranians tying these things to hot air balloons

Even scarier is what this means for NATO allies. This means any cargo plane that one of our allies possesses could potentially bring some of the most technologically advanced deletion in the world en masse. Also, this technology almost certainly would work with LRASMs too. Meaning that if we see China massing to hit Taiwan, we can UPS a couple of dozen pallets of this things over and suddenly Taiwan has the means to attack and sink those new Chinese carriers and other warships that would be supporting an invasion. A friendly nation could go from 0 antiship ability to having world leading anti-ship ability in a day.

Crew Chief is the ground mechanic. Load Master (yes that is really their title) would be the one who sets up the parachute to deploy in flight. They also push the button on the panel once the pilot says green light. In the Air Force E-6 is a Technical Sgt and E-5 is a Staff Sgt. Last thing, a large majority of the Load Masters that work these planes are E-4 and below.

We are getting closer and closer to the funnel weapon system from Mobile Suit Gundam, and I love it.

Damn, our weapons technology and budget for it is insane

JASSM... more like JIZZM

So you yeet pallets of missiles that will delete several enemies in different areas at once out the back....

Yeetus Deletus.

It gives a new meaning to reach out and touch someone.

Well if you think about it from a budgeting perspective, if it makes pretty much all dedicated bombers obsolete the Air Force just saved however much they currently spend on maintaining and operating their entire B1, B2, B52 fleets. The only part that is more expensive is if the bombers would have been able to get the same result with cheaper ordinance that are delivered closer to their targets using less sophisticated missiles. However not requiring the bomber would almost certainly be cheaper unless you're talking about something on the scale of carpet bombing.

"Sending Airmail!"

I guess we placed one or a few of these in antarctic. Nice to know we have our 6 or 12 covered. No do something important an get the criminals, terrorist an traders u know like trader joes out of the cocaine house i mean assisted living house shit i nean white house

When America says we have a problem and more than enough money to throw at it give me solutions

If you're filling the cargo space with these then you're going to need additional planes to carry regular cargo. That's my only downside of it.

JASSM? They missed it by one letter.

Air Force E-6 is a Tech sgt

Still goes boom so it's a bomb

How many can a c5 galaxy carry 😂

buh just duct tape a sidewinder to the back of the plane if you’re worried about being shot down.
i wonder how many you could fit in a c-47

Ukraine: I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!

I feel like since its that amount of money we amd out freedom sauce should be a lottery to be able to do that

Now that is American ingenuity.
