Somehow, all these old videos explain things so much better than many of the learning resources we have today.

people were more common-sense and less full of themselves back then. they didn't think they were talking to fellow specialists and instead explaining things to somebody who knew nothing of the subject matter but wanted/needed to learn.

I think it's the other way around. These old documentaries \ instructional videos cut the bullshit and just explain the concepts clear and concisely. Modern documentaries are put together in a way that I feel like I have to take half a bottle of adderall after blasting through a six pack.

@@possiblyadickhead6653 I think their production is cynical in that they assume the viewer is going to be some dumbass kid like the kind you find in schools. If I'm trying to learn about the F-35's CoS PowerPC processor than they are trying to market to the wrong demographic with that kind of production mindset.

Can only imagine how both sides of this equation has evolved in the last 50 years! fascinating stuff!

Latest thing in service, the new EW package Arleigh Burke has (or will have) AI-powered phased array systems that will allow them to be used as radar warning receivers, jammers, radios and janky radars, capable of dealing with newly discovered threats on the fly. The rate at which stuff advances is mind-boggling.

Thanks for posting! It's odd subject material, but I found the whole thing to be entertaining.

AIRBOYD I totally agree. ECMs were one of the things about military aircraft that I never fully understood. Although this video is dated, it still gave me better insight into how they physically work.

Awesome. I KNOW my dad must have watched this reel while training familiarization for EKA-3B aircrew early in his Navy career.

Amazing to get such a film in the 60's you would have to risk your life as a spy and only handful of pilots were allowed to see it. Now it's on youtube for every goon and geek interested :)

Oh. More of this please!!!!!!

Apparently they found it more complex than this in real life, judging by how difficult they found it in Vietnam. But obviously they would be optimistic in training videos. I find this old ecm equipment interesting, what i really want to know about is old radar systems. You got any videos like this for radar operators?

brilliant shit - thanks for the upload!

This was in the 60's fast forward 60 years to now imagine what we got and aren't being told and don't know about!?🤔🤯

The radio wave hits the enemy plane snd goes inside the engine blades to exactly identify the plane type

Old tech; Imagine how much more information our engineers have to deal with today!(F-35/F-22)

what were these ECM's used for vietnam? or some other treat back in the early 60's?

This was beautiful. *tear

Exactly my thought, its very plausible that it was secret jammer testing instead

Ground radar is extremely worry some specially Northwestern Pacific. If we use passive mirror enemy emission could help if they attacking us using inductive inverter

can we polarize opponent but get our signal through the polarized aignal

Build a end bible as an amplifier away from our position and as staging point when apply our inverter signal

Remember, nobody wants to be a "Mr Bungle".

Lol "the A2F"? This is an oldie, isn't it? This must have been just as the A-6 was just coming out. People forgot later what a tech marvel that plane was for the day. Day and night, fully radar guided attack jet, guided weapons? Pretty agile to. People forget that even slow jets are pretty hot planes, and the A-6 could carry a massive warload.

Wow that stuff is ancient. But they still use TWTs to get that high power output. Nowadays they have computers for the smarts.

I wonder if low flying altitude can help reduce radar detection.

Obviously, we have only been doing that for about 70 years now. He even _says _ that in the first few minutes of this video. I mean how can you know enough about military stuff to somehow end up watching this video, but not be aware of the reason all attack aircraft fly low level profiles and have since the early 60s? That's a pretty basic piece of information. "Hey guys, I was just thinking, what if we took a tractor and put armor and guns on it, we could use it to attack the enemy trenches without losing thousands of soldiers!"

7:33 Today's NATO radars have mitigated this problem, they transmit an encoded digital pulse to the target and if they don't receive the same pulse back they reject anything else and they do send a different code each time, making it extremely hard to jam. They don't even get affected by chuff.

Let's go take on Leningrad, or Hanoi!

I did not understand the reasoning behind the "do not turn on early" discussion. If there is a 3 sector antenna tracking your random emissions they can track you without your knowing.

@alexdillon4785

Because while you might be out of range for a signal bouncing back from your aircraft your ECM is amplifying a false return. The enemy radar receives this false return. That's my understanding anyway.

If this worked then why did the SA-2's over Hanoi manage to hit so many planes? I have to assume that there are counter-counter measures?

these techniques are basic and assume single antenna radar, but with 2 or 3 antennas and a radar that uses doppler and geometry data it'd be much harder to fool as deception would have to be equally transmitted to 3 different targets. the other problem mainly with soviet missile systems, is that they have very powerful radars, so it's never simple to fool them, it takes a lot of technical intelligence reports to fool them, today they have complex radar that combine passive and active radar and complex algorithms, radar deception is best achieved with drones

well ya I would be the first to admit that the early models were kind of hit and miss but it didnt take very long before the airforce established wild weasel anti sam strike teams which did have some success also it must be said that the air war during the vietnam war resulted in the us airforce becoming the leader in this field.

This all looked good on paper but than Vietnam war came along and these things didnt realy work as advertised.

Thanks for illuminating me with valuable information at most critical time because as expected the cloak of invisibility underlying the depths of dense darkness that defies so called laws of the dead land is best leveraged by offensive enemy inside against naked weak citizenry.

Question : did the Soviet Union have similar capabilities ? : ( I mean lock-on breakers.....

we should camouflage all antenae in case enemy down our plane they could not decode our system or we could disguise them to deceiving their engineers
