This is less true every year. Whether you wish to judge it by $$$ spent by one country into the other via defense, or # of bases, or # personnel stationed/deployed, or joint participation, or even what tech is shared with whom. The trends clearly show a sharply multi-decade decline that declares this to be only slightly true. Politics are making it more likely that this trend will continue to withdraw and at an accelerated rate. Currently by all measures of comparisons, Japan is the #1 US ally. Just as an example, the most advanced anti air defense system the US has ever developed is not only shared with Japan, but also US assets are stationed in Japan, and Japan has participated in funding the research to keep advancing it further with the US. There is more anti missile defense systems deployed to Japan than there is deployed to Canada. In the 1990's (when I served & was stationed in the UK) there were approximately 100 US military bases in the UK. This # declined to 13 by 2015 and is down to only 6 today. The interaction of the US military with the UK military is less today than it was in 1991. This includes training, Joint mission interaction & integration, & it spans all branches of the military. Read the Libyan War after action reports, it is shocking at how far behind NATO allies are to the US, and while UK is the best among those allies, they still are hard pressed to perform at levels needed to carry out a modern war. This degradation from 2003 to 2011 is shocking. This isn't just the normal post war regression of skills and capabilities lost to attrition in immediate post war downsizing, but a serious lack of capability no matter the amount of prep time afforded. The advancement needed to integrate into a US based strike force is becoming more than many allies are capable of meeting.

Makes me proud as hell to have served a career in the U.S. Air Force. 18 years of my life. Too bad I was medically retired 2 years early. I would have hit 25 years in this year if I was allowed to stay.

My dad was in the Navy 1936-1956. World War 2 he was a rear seat gunner and radioman in an open cockpit plane (SBDs). Received a DFC pinned on by Admiral Nimitz earned when he was on the USS Yorktown in the Battle of the Coral Sea. His squadron was transferred off 3 days before the ship was sunk in the Battle of Midway. He would have been so proud to see this.

A very important point this video leaves out it the number of experienced and battle hardened service men and women that we (U.S.A.) have to support, maintain, and operate all of these weapons. Not to mention all of our ground forces. And numerous allies.

The United States has constantly learned from its carrier program, as well. This is not surprising. But one of the things we learned during the lifetime of the Nimitz-class was that building the ships with power generation capacity equal to (or slightly exceeding) the demands of the onboard equipment at time of launch is a mistake. Most ships in the class have had to undergo extensive refit to accommodate the exponentially growing electrical demands of new generations of electronic equipment. Thus, the Ford-class was built with this in mind. We don't know what the exact numbers are, of course, but the Navy has said that the Ford-class's nuclear reactors pump out over twice as much juice as the ships need at this time. This future-proofs the vessels in anticipation of as yet unconceived technologies.

I'm former US Navy and the amount of money we spend in the Navy is 2nd to the Air Force. The Navy has some of the top fighter pilots in the world. The capability of our ships and planes is Insane and the training is intense.

I ‘love’ how they only added three states for ICBM, obviously they don’t want you to know how much we have. Western Utah has one of the biggest ICBM and missile testing sites, it’s located near Tooele Utah. In high school, I lived in Grantsville; about 10-13 miles from the testing site: Tooele. Every Wednesday, regardless if we were in school or not, loud alarms would start. Regardless of where you were you’d hear the alarm, almost like they were located in every building and street. Then you’d hear a man come on the alarm and say “this is a test, stay where you are” etc… One time when I was in school Wednesday, they had a ‘test’. The teacher stopped and we stayed in our seats. I remember the projector on the ceiling shaking. It wasn’t enough to shake the floor, but enough to shake anything attached to the ceiling or walls. I have a grandpa who served in Vietnam and he always told me that if anyone was to attack America, one of the first places they’d destroy would be Utahs base because of how much nuclear power we have here.

America learned the hard way from both World Wars to maintain a standing military.

This led to subpar training and equipment at the beginning of any war we fought, needlessly costing the lives tens of thousands of Americans. Couple that with the Cold War and the continuing problems with Russia and China, well.... the world needs America to maintain its military otherwise Russia and China would be bullying the hell out of their neighbors.

Another cool fact!: The way our Submarines launch Missles underwater is quite interesting! All attack Subs are equipped with shields around missle bays that line the top of the Submarine that keep water out. At a moments notice, they can swing open the lid to the bay in seconds and shoot the missle out with high pressure gas at a speed of almost 40 Mph. Once its out of the water, it automatically activates it Thrusters and can either be used to hit a certain coordinate or lock on to enemy vehicles. We can launch these missles from 150 Ft under the water so talk about a hell of a jumpscare! Imagine being a lone destroyer out on patrol and a missle shoots from the water at random with no ships nearby

No, you keep misidentifying the F-117 stealth fighter, I've said it in another video. Last time it was silhouettes and you thought they were B-2s. The F-14 Tomcat is a variable-sweep wing fighter, was used by the Navy (used in the movie "Top Gun", but even there they tried to pass off F-5 Tigersharks as MIGs, darn it), but it is now retired in favor of the F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet. So, what you're seeing is an F-117 Nighthawk. Used during Desert Storm and in Eastern Europe.

Yes, PGMs are more expensive, but are they more than 27 times as expensive? If it’s not, then why do we still produce any munition that isn’t PG?

They have been there for decades. China has long term plans and goals, they need natural resources and ways to feed their population in the near future. They recognize that war destroys the economy and isn't conducive as a way to increase their world power. What they are doing is building up Africa so that they will have a source that they can acquire the resources they need in China while aslo building the economies in Africa which will provide a customer base that they can sell/trade Chinese manufactured goods to. People do not realize that the US has made it very hard for China to get the electronics components, such as transistors, they need for manufacturing. That is one of the big reasons that Taiwan is at risk, China needs what Taiwan makes and the US is the one that helped create that situation. There is more, but I'll stop there.

The new British aircraft carriers are really the only other truly modern aircraft carriers on the planet.

In 1980, you could have laid a coin, any coin on the hood/trunk of your car, and you could have been told what coin you laid down, what it was, it's size, in some cases the date could be read.

I spent the last decade of my time in the Army working with UAVs, including 7 years in ODIN. Something people do not realize is just how big most UAVs are. Most of them are 30~40' (9~12m) long with a wingspan from 50~60' (15~18m), powered by engines ranging from 100 to 1,000 shaft horsepower. In other words, they are roughly the same size and power as small turboprop planes which means they dwarf automobiles in total area. They can be piloted from anywhere in the world, with their sensors observed and controlled from anywhere. The pilot normally has no control of sensor systems (other than ones related to flight) or onboard weapons. The pilots and sensor operators can be anywhere in the world. In fact it is often advantageous to have them in consolidated centers, which means there is always fall back operators if something happens along with having a great deal of combined experience and knowledge. Being able to tell what FMV sensors are looking at is not easy for people without experience. Then there is all the other sensor capabilities they have. If you want to know how effect ODIN is in combat, when first deployed to Iraq they had over 3,000 confirmed EKIA in a year that are unclassified from just one of their dozen platforms.

That is the F-117 nighthawk. The F-14 was a two seater twin engine swing wing interceptor.

Even if an ICBM fails to detonate, the kinetic energy from something that heavy moving that fast, is greater than it would be, if you replaced that nuclear bomb weight with any conventional explosive. In other words, adding explosives to a dud nuke, would only matter because the weight of the conventional explosives. You could get the same effect from adding bowling balls, as adding explosives.

If I can find it there is a great KZread video of the first gulf war showing just how insanely down to the detailed they got for the opening strikes against Iraq.

Reason for the protection of carriers is that they can carry 5000 personnel. If there weren’t strike groups to protect the carrier, they’d be a big floating target.

Right now, no foreign military has the means to land an invasion force on the US main land. One of the huge advantages the US has is that no matter where shit happens, we have a military base in the general area, and we can have multiple carrier groups there in a hurry. Neither Russia or China have bases anywhere near the US, and they don't have the carrier forces to put enough air power within striking distance of the US.

One of the things not mentioned is that a single U.S. carrier has a larger "air force" than some 200 nations of the world. in other words, one U.S. carrier can take on an entire nation, in most instances.

​@@anthonyhargis6855 I find that people who make statements and claims but dodn't make the effort in advance to verify that what they are saying is true, should not be taken too seriously or thought of as clever. The average number of aircraft on a US Carrier is 64. At number 52 on the list of largest Air Forces in the world, you will find Qatar and they have 165 aircraft in their Air Force, 100 more than on an average US Aircraft Carrier. I stopped checking at that point because it was already obvious that you had no idea what you were talking about and 51 countries proving that is more than enough.

Yeah and surprisingly, many of those are pretty affordable, in the range of $80K to $1.2M. In most cases, these are fully hardened bunkers with air and water filtration systems included, along with acres of fenced land. Granted, most of these would require a bit of cash to make them useable but still pretty cool stuff nonetheless.

We already have pilotless fighter aircraft. Like our drones, they can used anywhere in the world, by an operator in the US.

There is a decommissioned missed silo in northern Colorado. Been empty for a long time. My dad and some college friends snuck into it in the 70s. Got in BIG trouble.

The speed of a carrier is classified but I have 2 estimates from 2 sailors. They each did a med cruise upon coming home, the skipper told everyone that the flight deck was off limits once we pass the striates of Gibraltar. One sailor said it took 3 days and the other it took 4 days to reach NAS Norfolk in Virginia.

The US relies heavily on the UK. Your intelligence services are the best in the world. We're such close allies, that it's often called the "Anglo- American World Power" My land near the Grand Canyon has several military airbases test flying next gen aircraft over it.

The money also goes to employing and keeping employed millions of Americans. So we’re well protected and millions of people are supporting their families. It’s a win-win. It’s also one of the reasons many of our European allies have not been invaded by aggressive countries. The Asian continent is littered with countries that would like to take over the world. The very first places they would go are on that same continent.

Pilots will never be replaced. The US would never risk the chance of technology falling into the wrong hands. And AI's can't blow up or destroy something after a crash or a malfunction in a location you can't recover the wreckage from.

My father was a USAirforce pilot in The Vietnam war, so growing up on Military base (Love for my Country is why I began an engineer contractor for DOD and what you're seeing is just a tip of the iceberg.

We learned the lesson painfully on the rigid hoses for air to air fueling. 1980 perfect storm.

We use Radar Triangulation Systems on guided missiles in order to cut out ineffective gps signaling. It works in any circumstance, regardless of weather disruption or interference.

In the first Gulf War the smart bombs were so accurate they were put down the chimneys of buildings or through the front doors. I don't believe they knocked before entering. How rude.
