No other adaptation is as true to Clancy's love of logistical setup as this, honestly my favorite part of his books was seeing the set pieces laid out across the board, meticulously planned out, only to be swept off in the span of a few short seconds and a lovely combination of explosions and shockwave

I read this in 86 when it came out. I was an ASW Naval Aviator at the time and after HFRO blew our minds we were ready and waiting for this. Clancy's words painted an amazing picture in the fertile imagination of my mind. You have topped it. Keep up this outstanding and important work. RSR will never get the Hollywood treatment so you are our only hope.

I was an SH-3H Sea King pilot in 1986 when I read the book. I was totally fascinated by the SH-60 with the "experimental" dipping sonar flown by LCDR O'Malley flown off the back end of a FFG-7 class frigate. Although dipping sonar helos are normally flown off carriers, I was in a squadron that had put a Sea King det on a Spruance DD for ASW ops in the Pacific Yankee box. The one inaccuracy I found about the Seahawk and the dipping sonar was when O'Malley passively listens for the sub hanging around the wreck of the Andrea Doria. The frequencies the active dipping sonar can listen on are far too high to find a submarine. Other than that it was a great read for me.

Just from playing Microprose games on my Commodore 64 and of course from reading the excellent manual that came with each, I learned a lot about weapons and weapons' systems. When some biker gangs in Norway clashed, one side used an actual anti-tank missile launcher. It didn't do much damage to the other gang's headquarters, just punched a neat hole through the wall and since there were no occupants in the building, no collateral damage either. So I figured that they must have used an actual anti-tank warhead. They should have used an explosive warhead intended for 'soft' targets.

Instantly I'm back in 1986, in high school, Top Gun had come out, I was reading every military book I could find. Tom was very close in his description of the B-2 concept with his frisbee idea. One of the B-2 designers told me they were trying to mimic a dinner plate, very flat with curved edges. A frisbee. The B-2 wasn't even acknowledged until 1989, and Tom was barking up the right tree, he just didn't know it yet.

@Salty_Balls

Жыл бұрын

He wasn't describing the B2. At the time there was a different idea of what the F117 would be. They even made toys and models of it. It indeed looked like a Frisbee with wings that came out and kind of scooped at the ends and had canted twin tails. It was like a blended and elongated disk. I'm not sure if it was a concoction or if it was ever an actual competing design. You can see it if you Google F19. All the information of it ever actually existing is... bizarre. But it was very much what everyone was publicly aware of as a "stealth fighter" at the time.

@@Salty_Balls If I remember correctly, the F-19 model was based off an artist's best guess in either Popular Mechanics or Popular Science. I also remember that F-117 was first publicly used in Panama in 1989. Seems like yesterday and yet it also seems so long ago!

Would be nice to get some people together in ARMA to recreate the ground warfare scenes and the stuff on the ground in Iceland. Fantastic work as always FixEdit. Message to Random House. This series of KZread videos encouraged me to purchase the audio book narrated by Michael Prichard from Audible. Please do not take these videos down.

THIS is the way that I imagined the books. God this is too good.

I remember so much of this dialogue word for word, thanks for bringing it to life.

Man, I remember my dad letting me read this and then I bought F19 Stealth Fighter for my C64. I flew this mission probably hundreds of times and always tried to see how close I could follow this scenario. Good times🙂

Got the audiobook for this book based on the quality of this video series. Thanks for making them and exposing yet another generation to the wonderful world of Tom Clancy novels beyond the Hollywood creations.

One Remark to the well done Video: in 1986/87 when the book came Out, Bitburg Air Force Base, Just around the Corner from Ramstein, was the American Air Base in West Germany with Always the Most modern US Fighters. The Base doesn,t exist anymore today, but at the time of the book, the Base hosted 72 F15 Fighters iot keep Air Superiority in Europe, while Ramstein hosted F4, F 16 and A10....in other words, its highly likely that Bitburg AFB would have been the Chosen Base for that Kind of Secret aircraft. Greetings from Germany.

It is content like this that makes KZread a bargin at twice the price! I seriously appreciate you FIXEDIT! And as long as you're able to have a life at the same time: _please keep up the great work_

I have read many of his books and This is my favorite of all times.

Outstanding: Great to have the Tom Clancy talk from 1988 (I think) as part of the audio so the youngsters understood that even knowing the designation of the F-117A was Top Secret. Adding to Tom's commentary, there was brief blurb in an aerospace-centric issue of National Geographic about 1982 showing an artist's representation of what the F-19A might look like according to that Air Force article; A good bit of misinformation, because the F-117A was anything but curvy.

One can't help but be impressed by how much he got right with so little info. Especially got the implications of the tech right too, stealth is an impressive force multiplier. Simply fantastic work FIXEDIT.

@Folker46590

His description of the plane was way off what it actually looked like, because of Air Force pressure, and even how it was used is wrong. The F-117 did NOT fly at treetop level, it came in like any other fighter plane because they knew no one could see it. There was a model plane released in the 80's based on the F-19 Ghostrider, it was all round edges.

The '80's synth soundtrack to the storytelling is absolutely perfect!

These get better and better! That prologue was very nicely done

I have read almost all of Tom’s books. I always thought he had the ear of skunk-works and other black builds. This may be true, however it is amazing to hear that Northrop read Red Storm Rising thinking” how does this guy work this stuff out, and get it so right.

KZread is full of rubbish nowadays but this is a breeze of fresh air. HFRO was an spectacular book when it came out but RSR is for me the best book of all Tom Clancy's books. Excellent present from my ex girlfriend on my birthday back in 1988.

Loved Clancy’s early work, and played Red Storm Rising and F19 when Microprose launched them - cutting edge for a PC with a 286 processor…😅 funny thing is - to this day, they still deny the F117A ever had Air to Air, but a HARM, Sidearm or Sidewinder doesn’t need much support systems to be used.. as the Ukrainians have proved.

Another fine episode. Shame they messed up on some of the details such as "F-19" and "afterburners" and "rear seat operator" but still a worthy effort. Looking forward to the upcoming airbattle as the NATO squadrons clash with the Op-Force who are now radar blind after the loss of their Mainstay EW birds. Don't forget, if you loved RSR then be sure read Larry Bond's "Cauldron" which is an excellent big picture techno thriller also.

Awesome!!!!! Can't for a complete movie version of Red Storm Rising
