we knew about this in the uk
The Vulcan left service as Britains nuclear deterrent was switched from aircraft to submarines. It was only ever used for real in one conflict, the Falklands War in 1982, when it became the longest bombing mission in history, only beaten more recently by a B52 stealth bomber.
The Vulcans maximum ceiling height was 63,000 feet. At this time the Russian aircraft were only capable of 56,000 feet. So to keep the exercise realistic the RAF flew at that altitude.
The V bombers were all designed to attack from high altitude. This was shown to be impractical when Gary Powers's U2 spy plane was shot down by a SAM2. This led to the attack profile of low-level penetration followed by a pop-up to a higher level to bomb. This meant that the thicker air at low level put more strain on the aircraft than they had been designed for. The Valiant was the first to be withdrawn following a crash where a wing fell off. The Victor was converted to a tanker aircraft where it could continue to fly at a higher altitude. The Vulcan, the more recent of the 3, soldered on until the Navy took over the Nuclear Deterrent role. Both the Victor & Vulcan were good-looking aircraft. By the time they were withdrawn, they were old aircraft whose service life was up. My complaint with the V Bombers was the Pilot & Co-pilot had ejection seats, the other 3 crew members did not. OK at high level, but a death trap at low level.
Not really Shot Down .
A Vulcan bomber was brought out of retirement to bomb Port Stanley airport in the Falklands in order to stop the Argentinians using it during the Falklands war. "Operation Black Buck" – you should watch it.
The pilots plot their course before launch. They keep track of their course and make corrections. Now they use GPS😊
Thanks so much for sharing this video ❤
They use the aircraft’s cameras for confirmations
Don't be so naive, these are "WAR GAMES" nobody gets hurt it's all simulated & goes on to this day. No country involved in these exercises is going to kill an alley or shoot down a multi million dollar/pound aircraft. The US government must have been really peed off when one Vulcan landed at New York after nuking it. Come on now a child should know things like that are simulated. Get real!!!!
You are a sad reflection on your education. Navigation has been around for thousands of years , land sea and of late air .Cann no longer watch as it is too painful .
Enjoy your channel guys 👍🇬🇧
dont you think they have something better now thats why the volcan bomber was retired
The US and UK now share weapon and plane technology, amongst many other things
It was an exercise, but like in children's games if you get seen or caught you cannot play any more, so they use shot down just as a saying.. Military actually used to call these exercises War Games. Remember too they had grounded all the planes over US and Canada, had it been a real attack from Russia those planes would not have had time to be grounded.. part of the reason Military fly so much higher.
It's called using a compass to know your direction etc. No aircraft were actually shot down, but pretended, just as they didn't really drop any nuclear bombs. It was a training exercise, where they do everything as if it's real, but do not actually attack. It's a practice fight. But nobody had a plane as good as the Vulcan. The Vulcan got old & out of date, when newer technology came along. They were used to bomb the Falklands in 1982. The need to have nuclear bombers was reduced because missiles were developed to fire nuclear bombs, so why risk pilots. Britain's nuclear weapons are carried by submarines now that can fire them at any place in the world, & they are hard to find & more difficult to destroy than planes.
Military hardware like the Vulcan only get retired when a more effective option becomes viable. Scary thought!!
No one acxtually gets shot down…the interceptors get into position to do so and that counts as a hit.
Mark Felton makes some amazing videos
America wouldn't be the force it is today without the UK. In WW1, they sent 300,000 troops to the UK – none of which had any battle experience, and we spent ages training them b4 they fought. This included and helping them set up Delta Force; it's a long list.
The Vulcan is stillmone of the most beautiful pieces of engineering man has innovated. You might be interested in a documentary about ISIS by Ex SAS Phil Campion. Tough but very informative watch. Bless P.S. Don't show adverts unless their paying! 😃 Takecare.
A Vulcan did a flyover of England for the Queen's Jubilee.
Long haul commercial flights get up to about 48000 feet these days
Basically the RAF had something the Americans didn't have…cloaking devices.
This was the days of The Cold War where Russia ( then much larger and called the USSR – United States of Soviet Russia) and the threat of Communism was very real. The USA was one of the vulnerable countries and wanted to ensure they had secured their borders from attack so invited the UK and others to an exercise to see if they could penetrate the defences thus highlighting the weak spots. NOBODY was actually killed or shot down. These exercises still happen today!
All you need is a compass!
I was doing gate duty at the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain at Middle Wallop near Salisbury, we had a Vulcan ( I was stood on the runway) as it took off with full afterburner……… the whine was incredible.
It came back to run the runway on its rear wheels, nose skyward and literally scorched the tarmac taking off !! It was a beast.
During the 50's and 60's us Brits had an aircraft industry that was innovative ( harrier and kestrel) that morphed into the F-35 from the yanks AV8-B our harrier………
The Vulcan used the same engines as Concorde, as a young boy I went to air shows and I thought I would never hear again, so loud.
All the fighter jets ( interceptors ) needed to do to confirm a kill was to get a weapon system lock on. No munitions were fired.
As others have mentioned, check out the QRF exercise out of RAF Coninsbury, Linconshire England. That's the modern day interceptor the Typhoon Euro fighter jets..
To find out where you are you open the window and look down?LOL
Will someone explain SIMULATED to guy with the Base ball Cap or has i like to Call .IQ REDUCER..
Why can't you just watch it first then comment after , it's really frustrating to keep stopping and starting and commenting, or is it just me !!!
Don't mess with the RAF
The Vulcan bombers were eventually retired because with the advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles there was no need for an aircraft delivery system anymore.
Biggest difference is in the US, everything they do is they are told the best or greatest, everyone everyday in the US are fed the myth that is the USA,let's not forget the greatest military in the world got chased out of Korea in the 50s,so they decided they would invite themselves into a already colonial war between the French and the North Vietnamese and they after 10yrs ran like little chickens to get out of there,then let's fast forward to recent events of the world's greatest protected air space embarrassed by a few planes they just flew right up to there face and we had 9/11, then after about 20yrs of cleansing the world of Islamic terrorism? The world is again and possibly for the last time going into a war that the Americans are to chicken to have sorted out years ago with their greatest Biggest military ever.
Think you get my point? Love you guy's
You'll want the Brits on your side if you're gonna be in a war.
The Vulcan made the most loud noise when it flew. It sounded quite frightning when you were a child. Unfortunately the USA learnt nothing from the first time and did exactly the same the second time. It was a good job my country did not want to actually nuke the USA.
Ask the Argentinians what an attack from a Vulcan sounds like.. It would strike the fear of God into anyone who heard it approaching. I used to work for a defence contractor in the UK and when it was being retired they flew over the sites that armed or made them ..That Howl is terrifying even when you know you aren't the target. The pilots were also instructed that IF they had to drop a Nuke on Russia not to return home but carry on East and land as there would be nothing to return home to…Seems we are here again folks.
Biggest doesnt mean best!
I also live in doncaster where they were kept. I saw the last flight driving down the motorway a couple pf years ago. A real tear jerker. Love that plane!
Compass
just listen to Videos on the Vulcan howl at full volume you get a small dose of what it really sounded like i love the Vulcan
I've been waiting for this video 😊
Watch the British sas obie one Nairobi
