It's what happens when smart people at desks design weapons (engineers and scientists), not the right people (people on the field with knowledge and sense of warfare). Ideally, the people that actually fight should suggest ideas, and the scientists and engineers at the desks should use their knowledge to help make the soldiers' suggestions a reality, not the other way around. Sorry for commenting this multiple times; it's just an important point that needs to be emphasized.

Great video. Merchantmen were armed with similar devices. Prevented attacking planes from flying directly over the target as a rocket and wire were fired straight up from the deck.

Fun fact these rockets also tested the first radio proximity fuse in June 1940 Unlike artillery, the rockets have very little spin so the electronics didn't have to be as resistant to g-forces in the later artillery developed versions (late 41)

Didn't the Japanese also use some sort of AA rocket launcher on their carriers later in the war? I think it's called a 28 Tube AA Rocket Launcher. I can't really find much information about this weapon but Wikipedia says it was used on the Unryū class.

This is a great channel, the animation is great, despite being 1minute it's very informative (I learned quite a number of new things). But this channel's pro is also it's con; that it's just 1minute. Still great work with this videos. You gained another sub, (I'm srsly wondering why you don't have more subs tbh)

I mean, if you force the attacking aircraft to change course to avoid the barrage and it thwarts their attack run, you've still succeeded in the goal of protecting the ship. However, when the ship itself comes at risk from the mines blowing back as happened during the demonstration with Churchill, and you have other options for AA weapons that actually just, you know, destroy the aircraft outright, you can see why the UP didn't last long.

To be honest. I think it might be useful in avoiding kamikaze attacks. It forces the planes to change trajectory therefore easier to anticipate

I mean so many of these things you have on the channel seem like such an amazing idea like it sounds like it should be so effective and even that anti bomber bomb from the Japanese
