  1. John Smith What I think you lose out in is that the training is simply broken down differently. The Royal Marine basic course is 32 weeks, at the end of which the Marine reports to his/her duty unit. In the U.S. Marine Corps, the initial training is simply broken down into two separate parts: Recruit Training and School of Infantry. Even Marine aviators must complete infantry school before reporting to flight school. ALL enlisted Marines must attend School of Infantry before going on to their occupational schools, except infantry Marines who simply do an even longer, specialized infantry school. Recruit Training is 12 weeks Marine Combat Training is 4 weeks Infantry Training Battalion training (for infantry Marines) is 8 weeks. So a regular Marine (non-infantry) will actually undergo 16 weeks of initial training and infantry Marines will undergo 20 weeks of initial training. They will then undergo further MO training. This does not include any advanced training further on in the career.

  2. Fun fact: More astronauts have come from the Navy than the Air Force so far and the ones in the video are Marines.

  3.  @SuperAlien51  They are, actually. They have a covered booth they use to stand watch in very poor weather.

  4. It is used as an air brake too, but it’s an extra cold air intake for the jet engine.

  5. Not how the F-35 works, but close. The F-35 uses a fan behind this intake to provide vertical lift, alongside the rear jet exhaust nozzle. The air intake simply draws in cold air necessary for the jet to provide the needed thrust at such low speeds.

  6. Not a heroin experience, for sure. 😂

  7. It does not. There is only one jet engine in the F-35.

  8. This isn’t the Air Force..

  9. Partly, yes. It’s mostly used as a jet air intake during low speed maneuvers.

  10. Or to be more precise, the reason Europe has enough money to have free healthcare, education and other benefits is because the US spends money on these things.

  11. Why turbo-prop versus turbofan aircraft for tactical airlift? 1. Propeller aircraft have better performance at low altitudes and in higher heat. Turbofans perform best at higher altitudes and in colder air. 2. Turboprop engines burn less fuel, especially at lower altitudes, albeit they produce less thrust and are slower. 3. Turboprop engines are more reliable and can withstand far more FOD (foreign object debris). Turbofans are far more sensitive. Turboprops also require less maintenance hours. 4. The C-130 can operate at far lower speeds than a similar turbofan aircraft can. That means it can land shorter, take off shorter and loiter slower without stalling. All this makes for a better tactical aircraft, but a worse strategic one. By the way, even though the C-130 was designed in the 1950’s, the current J models have nothing in common with them aside from their general shape. They are incredibly modern and reliable and the RAF flies tons of them.

  12. Since Vietnam, but yes.

  13. Only the F-35 and F-22 have a helmet that projects information.

  14.  @Azimuth47  Anyone is welcome to contradict, IF they know what they’re talking about. The AH-64 helmet has a monocle iris (IHADSS) that is mounted on it to provide IR targeting information and is slaved to the main gun. It is NOT a built-in HUD at all. It’s 1970’s technology that has nothing to do with what we’re discussing. It was also used on late model F-4s. I don’t honestly know what’s on the Typhoon, so I won’t argue that, but the United States F-16, F-15 and F-18 don’t have helmet built-in HUDs. They do have add-on JHMCS for the AIM-9 missiles. The Israelis had a system of a built-in display for years. Thales is now starting to field its new Scorpion HMCS add-on system on A-10s and F-16s and it’s a proper helmet color display system, but even that is an add-on screen. The HMDS for the F-35 is light years ahead of all that. It literally utilizes avionics and displays all information, not just weapons systems, into the helmet, eliminating the HUD completely. Even the F-22 doesn’t have that technology.

  15.  @Azimuth47  “the F-16 had helmet mounted cuing since the 70’s and full HUD integration since 2002”… Completely false. The helmet mounted cueing (Collins JHMCS) system was delivered to 100 USAF F-15s and F-16s in 2004 and it’s still the system in use today, as the JHMCS II is currently undergoing testing on F-16V variants. The F-15, F-16 and F-18 still, to this day, don’t have full HUD integration. Their systems work ONLY with the AIM-9X missile system and works through a monocle attached to a traditional helmet (right eye). It does not display in the helmet and provides no avionics data, only the weapons CRT info. I’m not trying to be obtrusive or rude. Do you find facts that prove you being wrong “rude”? If you do, perhaps a mental health professional is in order. None of the comments were about the BAE systems or whatever they use in Sweden. The comment was SOLELY on F-15, F-16 and F-18. I did say I know nothing of the Typhoon. You need to take medication, for sure.

  16.  @Azimuth47  Keep yapping, troll.

  17. Nope. It’s a jet air intake. The fan sits right behind it. At low speeds, the jet cannot take in enough cold air to compress it enough to provide forward speed and vertical lift to take off in short distances with full payloads. As such, it needs cool (relatively) air to take in and that hatch provides the intake. At 6:51 you can freeze and see both, the intake and the fan hatches open. The fan has two shorter doors that open along the fuselage.

  18. You think wrong.

  19. Wrong. That’s how the Harrier worked, not the F-35

  20. No. This isn’t a Harrier.

  21.  @conorclark7408  It has the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem, which consists of a massive twin blade fan under that cover and a directional engine exhaust nozzle that provides stability, lift and yaw control for VSTOL maneuvers.
    1
  22.  @conorclark7408  No, it’s the lift fan intake. The exhaust is on the bottom.
    1
  23.  @conorclark7408  Yup, the vertical lift fan.
    1
  24. Wrong on all accounts. The F-35 has only one engine and it’s not in the rear. The lift fan has its own hatch, behind this one. This is an air intake for the jet engine.

  25.  @frankzebzda86  No problems with my sleep. Hope you get that laziness and arrogance fixed though!

  26. Harriers were used in the Falklands exclusively, were used in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom too. They always hover to land.

  27. False. It’s an air intake for the jet engine. The fan covers are aft of that.
    1
  28. Nope. Only a single turbine in the F-35.

  29. There are extremely few commercial test pilots in the world. Most of these guys stay in 20+ years, either active or reserve, and end up flying commercial or getting into aviation-related businesses.

  30.  @tomcat3769  You fly commercial? For what airline? After I left the Air Force I volunteered for CAP for a few years as well, mostly in Cadet Programs, but some ES as well.

  31. This is a reaction video. If you want to see the original, it’s linked in the info, Boomer.

  33. The Queen’s guard have live ammo as well.

  34. Wrong.

  35. No. Look it up.

  36. This is NOT a Harrier and it’s not how the F-35 works. Look it up before assuming please.

  37. Wrong.

  38.  @apex_blue  Correction: air intake for the ONLY jet engine in the plane. The fan is behind this, with its own twin hatches.
    1
  39. Nope. The cover for the lift fan is behind it. This is an additional cold air intake for the jet engine that is needed to get the necessary thrust on the jet and fan at low speeds. Freeze it at 6:51 and you’ll see both.
    1
  40. Correct. They fly just enough to maintain their flight status, rating and pay. Even flight surgeons do this.

  41. Nope. That’s behind it. Try again.

  42. It was never based on the Yak-141 😂

  43. Wrong. It isn’t. Look it up. The fan is behind it.

  44. Like... no.

  45. Nope. No equivalent rating except instrument, high performance and jet.

  46. No lol

  47. Wrong.

  48.  @Cheezsoup  The “toilet seat” cover. It isn’t for the LiftSystem.
