“I wanna go back to analog warfare.” You shut your mouth, I want Titans. Bring me my mech boi BT. He’s a precious murder bot that sacrificed his life for a planet. One of the good clankers.

Several european countries are working together to improve their military and are sharing their military tech and training, Poland and Netherlands are two of them. They do this outside of the EU military cooperation. I found it pretty interesting to see, can you do something about this team up? I think Denmark was also a participant of it

38:30 - youre thinking about 'Turret Toss'

Arthur, amalgamation into one guy and it's a tittle more then a name

As soon as you start talking about Chinese propaganda, the video cuts out. Hmmmmm

1:26:16 it’s def the current administration. I wanna know as an anime fan what Stak is thinking about 🍊’s current tariffs on Japan and South Korea. Anyone who buys anime or manga collectibles or kpop stuff is paying insane prices just for ordering Pokémon cards from Japan lmao.

Davy Crockett hasn't been exaggerated enough, he'll be so minor a footnote that historians SHOULD accept him as fact. I say that as a proud Texan who had ancestors at Goliad, the Alamo, and San Jacinto (some of them even witnessed the surrender after that last battle). FUN FACT: one of those ancestors was the only doctor to get executed at Goliad. He's not even part of official record, because of Mexican claims and loose documentation. My dad (the real historian who tracked everything down and is the last repository for thousands of gravesites) knows his full name, but I've forgotten it. I believe his last name was Self, but he might've been a Pettus instead. His sons fought their way clear of Goliad and then fought at San Jacinto alongside the brother (or HIS sons) of the guy that died at the Alamo, and generations later they intermarried to produce me. The guy that died at the Alamo was Richard Stockton, IIRC. He wore a bowler derby hat, and he was the last man to enter the area with the women and children, because he'd been shot through the jaw... But instead of staying, he just held his jaw together to grit out words like "bar the door and don't let anyone in." Then he left with his gun, never to be seen again.

I forgot this was supposed to be about achilles

There is a reason Habitual Line Crosser calls Poland "European Texas" the only reason the US has a weapon that Poland doesn't is because we aren't selling it. And lately they have started branching out and buying from other countries as well.

China has been annexing parts of Russia.

“The Russians have never been good in war” is such an accurate statement especially in the past 150 years

I love thornbussy and his trains

I hope we get a ww2 ep

Nick Castellanos reference in a history unhinged video???

I am bringing back The Book and using it to bring medicine and engineering.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think you may need to work on balancing your audio a bit. Sometimes one person is at a normal volume, but when it cuts to another person talking, it's much louder

Frensch tanks had also radios, but not all and most commanders feared that the germans could hear what they are saying. Dumb thought, because the germans not only would have to use the same frequence but also speak french to use the information immediatly. The survivalrate for the T-34 in the korean war was 15%? For the sherman and most allied and german tanks it was above 70 %, because all these sides thaught: we can replace the tank, but not the man. And yes even Germany could do that, just compare the production numbers for the Panzer 4 and the Panther and the Production time.

Dacy Crockett.....oh you mean the Nuke Toob ;p

FYI, There was a good episode of the Unsubscribe podcast recently that covered the topic of drones. And like with the use of cheap, hand-launched anti-tank missiles taking out far more expensive tanks; most modern drones are highly susceptible to shotguns -- specifically, birdshot and buckshot.

The term for when an armored tank turret is blown violently upwards due to an ammunition explosion is called the jack-in-the-box effect. It is also sometimes referred to as a turret toss.

The chair squeak at 16:19 is a paid actor. That was hilarious

For more on the history of dragons, the YouTube Channel Creganford has videos on dragon myths. Apparently the earliest ones are 75,000 years old

Hey guys! loved the episode, especially the DCS tangent at the end. I play a lot of DCS, and it's always cool seeing people who don't know about it learn how good the simulation is. It's often compared to War Thunder, but it's really not even close. For example, when you look at stealth aircraft like you did in the video. I'll nerd out a little here, since it's a little bit more complex than making the radar cross section of an aircraft as small as possible. The reason you want as small of an RCS as possible is because up until the 90s, pretty much all radars functioned the same way. They scanned the sky in a grid pattern, looking at a specific 'cone' from the aircraft's POV. What this means, is that you only see another aircraft when you have them in that section of the radar cone. Nowadays we have something called an AESA radar that can see everything all at once, but that's not important right now. So, a 4th gen fighter radar will scan the sky, look at all of it's contacts, and display the biggest ones to the pilot on the radar screen in the cockpit. 90% of the contacts are either ground clutter or birds, bugs, etc. so those get filtered out. There's a filter that the plane applies that gets rid of anything that isn't a plane. Enter a 5th gen fighter. It's RCS is small enough that it gets filtered out, even if the radar sees it. And remember, most radars can't simultaneously track all the targets they get. They scan the sky, displaying contacts as they see them. There's a bunch of complex math involved, but basically the plane can tell the direction a radar contact is going by looking for a similarly sized contact where it expects it to be on the next scan. The problem is that with a stealth aircraft, it's small enough that it gets lumped in with false contacts. So all the radar sees is a bunch of tiny specks, and it has to try and find the real contact in a sea of a bunch of something else. Think of trying to track a black pixel around a CRT television that's displaying static. Can you do it if you focus only on the pixel? Sure, it might be hard but it's possible. Now, imagine only looking at the screen every few seconds. The smaller the pixel is, the harder it is to distinguish from the background static each time you look, even if you try and predict where it is next from where it was before. That's what a non-AESA radar is trying to do when it tries to track stealth aircraft. As radars have got more advanced, they have got better at using that complex math I mentioned earlier to distinguish an actual target from a false one. But stealth technology has advanced at the same rate. Nowadays, 4th gen fighters are being equipped with those special AESA radars I mentioned. They can see the entire radar cone at once by not using a radar dish, but instead a bunch of tiny antennas that you can use to make a virtual dish using constructive and destructive wave interference. that means it doesn't need to wait for the electric motors to move the dish, it can be pointed anywhere almost instantly by changing the output of the antenna array in a specific way. Back to the CRT television analogy. You're still tracking the black pixel, except now instead of only looking at the screen every couple of seconds, you're blinking rapidly while keeping your eyes on the pixel. Much easier, right? Except now with more and more advanced 5th gen aircraft, the pixel shrinks. It gets so small that it's now almost impossible to see, even if you keep your eyes locked on it the entire time, eyes wide open. it completely disappears into the background static, and no matter what you do, by the time it gets big enough to see again, you have a 12-foot missile screaming towards you at Mach 2. Because the bigger pixel isn't the stealth aircraft you were looking for. It's what that pixel shot at you 10 seconds ago, and is now close enough for your radar to pick up. Good luck dodging it.

Omg Archie owoooos! He's such a good boy! I am LOVING the funny edits...I absolutely died when Mattis was French with the mustache. I wish so much this could be a weekly show. Keep up the awesome work!!!
