Commissar Binkov Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hello everyone! I've made some videos concerning topics of military, strategy, technology and so on. So far I'm getting pretty good feedback on them so maybe you too would be interested in seeing them. Here's one on Turkey vs Russia: hypothetical air war Or US AMRAAM D missile compared to Russian R-77-1 missile Or UK vs France: hypothetical war So tell me what you think! Sturgeon, Zyklon, Ramlaen and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hi Binkov! Welcome to SH, and thanks for registering! We were actually just discussing your AMRAAM/R-77 video over in the Aerospace subforum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Glad to see you here. I liked the AMRAAM vs Adder video quite a bit, because it is the first video I've seen on youtube that illustrates the kinematics of air to air missile launches. Much of the discussion of air to air missile performance on the internet is based on fantasy. Ignorance of basic facts of missile operation, like the fact that the motor burns out after a few seconds, or that range is enormously dependent upon launch altitude, is rampant.

SuperComrade Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I enjoyed the Britain vs. France one. Interesting how France is still operating so much legacy materiel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Just watched the Britain Vs France. Interesting that the Brits don't have any long range SAMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Russia vs USA - i have a question - what you counted as paramilitary units during manpower forces comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Binkov Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Here is the newest video! A bit of a fantasy setting, but a realistic depiction of forces involved, I'd say. USA vs Russia: Arena war https://youtu.be/r8KglkOgH-g Also, I am glad you liked the video about missiles. Of course, much in the videos is simplified and some stuff is omitted. Britain will have a better SAM defense once its CAMM family of missiles is online. While not of long range, important addition will be the fairly high ceiling of the system, enough for creating a barrier through with enemy planes will have to fly. Edit: For the paramilitary in the newest video I included various border guard forces as well as the former Internal troops (now National guard) for Russia.

Collimatrix Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 So what's in the works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 This is really interesting - thanks Binkov! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcwDfaY4OW4 The first thing of note is just how many missiles an AEGIS destroyer could potentially take on before getting hit. The second thing is just how short the response time is - 30 seconds or so. So you're probably going to direct and fire in an automated fashion, which suggests that there is considerable scope for fuck-ups. All in all, it seems that some sort of missile high-low mix (lots of cheap, relatively useless missiles mixed in with a few expensive and capable types) might be optimal for dealing with a fleet. That, and using a multitude of sensor systems for both attack and defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkTLEOC27-I Here the interesting aspect for modern military naifs like myself is just how little sealift capacity there is in nations not named the United States of America, and how important sealift is for prosecuting wars that aren't happening right along your border.

Toxn Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Goddamn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3VqF2dXje0 So it looks like a US-China limited war over the SCS would be a slaughter-fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have some questions. a) Why are the SU-35s carrying R-27ETs when they have R-77s? You describe the F-35s as keeping their radars off. So you are not convinced that the LPI mode would work effectively? c) You also describe the SU-35's MAWS as being capable. Is there any good source for information on Russian MAWS? Most sources I've read are convinced that even the PAK-FA is equipped with a primitive, UV-based system that would not be useful against BVR missiles.

Belesarius Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have a couple of questions as well. I'm given to understand that the F-35s IRST is pretty high resolution and very capable have you taken that into account? Also are you factoring in the datalink/sensor fusion that the F-35 has? IE 1 F-35 can apparently provide targeting data to all of the other F-35s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where he's getting his range figures for F-35 with bombload. Shouldn't its range go down less drastically than the SU-35? EDIT: If we take this as gospel, then what you really need to maximize the Lightning is a longer-ranged AMRAAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sources I've read are convinced that even the PAK-FA is equipped with a primitive, UV-based system that would not be useful against BVR missiles. I don't know if he is taking these into consideration but I can speculate. R-27ET have an IR seeker, which depending on the radar seeker of the R-77 might make it a better missile against stealth targets. If they are getting a data feed from the ground radars and/or if the Su-35 are actively scanning once the ground radar picked them up, the F-35 would not need to actively scan at all. Based on Dragon029's videos the scenario seems to be generous in the range the Su-35 are able to detect the F-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: If we take this as gospel, then what you really need to maximize the Lightning is a longer-ranged AMRAAM. The missile ranges he uses for AMRAAM (which model?) and R-27ET are way too short. He also appeared to use the flawed hit statistics that count a second missile as a miss if the first hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxn Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 My god those two countries are small. I wonder how many airstrikes would be of the 'took off, dropped bombs as I left the runway and went on landing approach' variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 The North Korea one illustrates why it's not in Best Korea's interests to nuke Worst Korea and Japan. Not saying they won't do that, it just means that the US would have no reason not to just bomb the shit out of them from a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Shoot. My lack of Internet data up here means I'll have to watch these when I get back. Not sure if Binkov deals with it but the issue with North Korea isn't necessarily their nukes but the fact that they have thousands of artillery pieces within range of Seoul. Worst Korea is no longer the Third World shithole that we saved back in 1950-53 and is instead - what? - the sixth or seventh largest economy in the world. Any war - even a relatively short and victorious one would still devastate South Korea's economy, cost tens of thousands or more civilian casualties and probably cause a worldwide recession. All so South Korea and the US (and Japan?) can spend the next ten years rebuilding North Korea while trying to reprogram 20 million indoctrinated zombies. And that's assuming China is totes OK with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The China matters take on it is that South Korea would desperately love to see reunification, Japan would desperately love to occupy North Korea, and China is very unhappy about either possibility but very keen on the idea of keeping a buffer state or grabbing a slice of the North Korean pie for itself.
