The Swedish Military and relatively independent Military Industrial complex is admirable for it's size. The U.S. has all sorts of advantages.

I am a 30-year veteran (retiree) of the US military, and identify myself as a "military professional" If there were just one thing I hope people would take away from this video is that the US is, and has always been, focused on developing strategies and weapons systems specifically designed to be "precise," i.e., to remove the source of violence as efficiently as possible. To a true military professional, the goal is to end a conflict as quickly as possible with as little death and damage as possible.

I think what this video fails to mention is the logistical power of the U.S. Military. We can move troops, weapons and supplies at an amount, distance and speed that is unparalleled. I know this video wanted to mainly deal with weapons systems but in my humble opinion it is our logistical power (and a completely professional, well trained personnel base) that makes us so formidable. Cool toys help though.

We never want war or conflict. Everywhere we go we are asked for help from. In most cases anyways (always an exception for any country). We always get damned if we do or dont though. This country stays ready for a fight because somebody has to, and we are most the capable. At the moment we are helping too many and it is costing us dearly. Nobody talks about that though they just talk trash about us. Calling us the bad guys.

Thank You for review of this video. I was in the Navy and stationed on an Aircraft carrier for 3.5 years. We had about 5,500 people on the ship when deployed.

I think the vast majority of US citizens are good people who accept others despite their differences and are proud to have such a diverse nation with different cultures represented. Our current media is nasty though, and is pretty much a reality tv show meant to be as controversial as possible because that’s what sells. It’s really unfortunate

Thank you Matthew. Thank you for your great words about the USA. Hey, you may not know it but many Swedish communities exist in the USA.

It's actually not that expensive to run our military. In fact the US technically spends less than some other countries. The US economy is just so large that the 3 percent used for military is massive. Saudi Arabia uses 6 percent of GDP for 40 billion dollars while the US used 3.7 for 801 billion. In fact the US will lower this percentage within the next 30 years in order to keep growth gradual of the budget.

3:45 The video is speaking about Supercarriers and the ship in the picture is the USS Midway (CVB-41), which is now a museum ship in San Diego. It is docked across the bay from the Coronado Navel Base/Naval Air Station North Island which has berths for two or three (I don't recall which) Nimitz-class carriers. The Midway was commissioned in 1945 eight days after the end of WWII as a straight-deck carrier. She was decommissioned in 1992. An early angled flight deck was added in the mid-1950s with the final angled deck you see in the video added in a massive modernization program from 1966 to 1970. She participated in everything from the Korean War through Desert Storm.

But remember Swedish fighter jets protected an injured SR 71 that was being chased by Russian fighter jets.

A small price to pay.

imagine a Moscow radar operator screaming there's a swarm of bumble bees coming, and it's a squadron of B-2's each carrying enough nuclear cluster bombs to vaporize a city.

I had to laugh when they showed the animation of a jet taking off from a carrier at the 4:59 mark, with the number '63' on the flight deck. That number would belong to the USS Kittyhawk (CV 63), and she would not be a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, but powered by conventional means. The USS Kittyhawk is also a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, and not a Nimitz-class carrier, and was decommissioned in 2009.

3.48% of the GDP goes to military in the US. The annual military budget in the US is a little over 800 billion dollars.

What people need to remember is a large portion of the military budget goes directly back to the taxpayers in high paying jobs in manufacturing plants and shipyards and cities next to military bases get a big economic impact thousands of civilians work at Tinker air force base providing maintenance on military aircraft

Another thing about potential uses of drones is that without having a squishy meat puppet the aircraft needs to protect it can maneuver much harder than an aircraft with a pilot. A human can take up to about 9 G or -2.5 G for short bursts before succumbing to blackout or redout respectively. We hit those limits back in WWII. Increasing maneuverability since then has been about how quickly we can get to those limits and having enough thrust to keep airspeed while doing them than actually maneuvering harder. Without these limits or the added weight of life support and ejector seats a machine is only limited by the laws of physics. It could eventually be a case of a human pilot trying to dogfight an aircraft that could literally turn twice as hard as they can. Add on the potential of AI systems to make immediate reactions and you are looking at a very bad day for a future opponent. I would be very surprised if these types of human vs. AI tests are not either being run today or in the near future.

The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy. 3) The US spends more on it's military every year than the next 8 largest military expenditures combined.

The direction the US military has been going for the past 30 years has been toward hi tech precision weapons. Unfortunately the drawback is that small numbers of hi tech weapons don’t help if the war becomes one of attrition. We’re supplying Ukraine with just about anything they can use, as long as we don’t have to put American boots on Ukrainian soil. But we might run out of supplies….

The video doesn't even mention submarine launched ballistic missiles.
