WW2 - V1 "Flying Bomb"

5000 londoners.
That's actually a very small number compared to casualities in other WW2 operations.
We could use londoners as a bait to force Germany to build more V-1s and undermine its economy

Interesting fact: Ferdinand Porsche, engineer and the founder of the legendary automobile manufacturing company PORSCHE, was involved in building the engine for the V-1 Rocket. Some argue that Ferdinand was Nazi.

Рашисти як нацисти так само бомблять ракетами Україну.

German technology and know-how stolen by the Americans after the war.

Fun fact for anyone who didn't know: since the v1 rocket was fairly slow planes like the spitfire could keep up with it, so one way the Brits could prevent the v1 rocket from hitting a valuable target or anything important is the spitfire would fly along side the v1 wing tip to wing tip and roll just a little bit causing the wings to touch and since the v1 was unguided it would get knocked of course and miss its intended traget which makes me laugh
Hey Nigel how did you deal with that new German flying bomb?
Oh hello Boris my good friend I simply smacked it's wing with the wing of my trusty spitfire and re directed it into a park instead

Alot of misinformation on the comments

Keep it mind that these wre only used during mid 1944 to 1945

They weren't used anywhere else except aiming to the UK from Nazi occupied France

The pulse engine did NOT forcefully shutdown when initiating a dive, it losses fuel flow and the engine goes silent

Paperclip

The first cruise missile

did he just call it a ram jet?
V1 pulsejet flying bomb Am I a joke to you?*

>:(

Looks like a military drone

then japan tried something simpliar and way more cost effective...

Not ram jet but pulse jet and that’s where the “buzzing” sound came from

There is a pilot video of a pilot shooting one down in the air as it's flying, need to watch.

but is it fuel via blood?

did it do an ultrakill?

Ultra when he kills

In my Freshman physics class I had to help out in Lab which meant I had to set up and run a small pulse jet motor at the end of of the classes and let me tell you folks that it was the loudest abrasive sound that you would ever hear ! At the start of run a good size crowd was instantly assaulted by this spectacle this. Crowd started covering their ears and moving away , by the time we shut it down there were only 3 observers . Everyone’s nerves were shot by then ! I got good at running the jet but I dreaded having to start it up again so I quit ! To save my ears and my sanity !

The grandfather of the cruise missile.

I build such engines myself at home, there are a lot of videos on my channel.👍🤝

Ultrakill reference

One thing I don't understand is why the Germans used this bombs in day instead of night, as if it tries to look into where it's target is when it's actually blind.

It's Captain Star!

I am amazed by the military industry that the Germans achieved during wartime, but they were truly ahead of their time

a10: dad….?

+1 rep

Pulse reactor ,

A secret weapon whose effectiveness was severely limited thanks to the development of another secret weapon, the proximity fuse.

This so fun to use in bf5

I remember - they said 'the victims will live forever in our hearts." Nobody can remember a single victim's name today...🤔🤔🤔

The absence of the engine sound was the scary part

Is that a vampiric Nikon reference?

Thats what the blu nikon is named after since its used for warfare

why isnt it throwing coins in the air

Dudel Back ! Brummkäfer wegen des geräuchs des Staustrahl Triebwerks .

People here because of ULTRAKILL:

SWEDISH PATRIOTS!

My 89 year old father was chased down the street by a 'doodlebug'. I have seen pictures of the devastation it caused!!

The First Cruise Missile

Ultrakill has completely ruined me, I can’t watch this without thinking of the funny blue robot

It was a pulsejet, NOT a ramjet.

Ramjet? The Germans were more advanced than we thought!

There's part of a film of a postwar US test of a buzz bomb launching from the Gulf Coast thrown into this video.
I think it was called the Loon .

Imagine this thing exploding in some Paki enclave. Win win for both sides.

yeah, it cost me 41500 points

😮

ULTRAKILL mentioned 🔥 🔥

In the London cemetery me and my dad worked as gravediggers dad started in 1964 and me 1986 and there was a area of smashed gravestones and very uneven ground which I was told that a V1 doodle bug landed in the cemetery and there were remains of bodies from the 19th century graves spread for hundreds of feet
