  1. And what do the idiots at the UK MOD do. Get rid of our older RAF Boeing E-3's and now we wait ages for the E-7 to enter service, also the new RAF E-7's cannot be air to air refuelled by our own RAF A330 Voyager Tanker aircraft. The E-7 uses the "Boom" method of the American KC-135, not the Hose and Drogue method our RAF A330's use. The same problem applies to our new P-8 Posideon aircraft, as they are the same 737 based airframe as the E-7.

  2. Boeing: “these wedgetails are doing great overseas, and it’s the only thing we sell that isn’t crap. You guys want some too, right?”
    America: …
    Boeing: “Right!?”
    America: …..
    Boeing: “RIGHT!!?!1!”

  3. You need to make keep consistency between your video and the sponsorship. It was noticeable yea, but also annoying. I didnt go and listen to what you were saying i went "What the fuck is this?"

  4. Who’s fighting that war 🤡 you and your agent friends have done more damage than you can ever imagine, your one of the biggest spreaders of propaganda and we know it just make sure you’ve got a place in one of them bunkers cos we know who the enemy really is 👍🏽

  5. Control 😂😂😂😂yeah sure shoot down in seconds 😂😂😂😂.And I think you are smart,I hope you now better job are doing satellites 😂😂😂😂.In Ukraine ware are used drones and satellites.

  6. Impressive. That's all well and fine, but my cat, (who is a genius) developed such an aircraft that is superior to the wedgetail. It cost less and has better fuel economy. He insists that they are for sale, so start making offers. Supplies are limited. Don't wait, get yours NOW!🙀😺✈️

  7. No, this is not the future of electronic warfare (surveillance and command), at least not for major powers (like the United States, China, or Russia). These platforms have become extremely vulnerable to long-range missile attacks and the development of stealth technologies that allow approaching this aircraft even closer or not to see enemy aircraft on the battlefield at all (which is precisely its purpose). That's why the Americans are not creating their new platform, don't bother yourself with this encyclopedic knowledge provided by the Megaprojects channel. The future lies in the networked action of so-called "fifth-generation" aircraft, unmanned systems, and primarily newer generations of satellites that can change their trajectory more freely than before. Radar surveillance by America will be conducted from space, where platforms are still somewhat safe. This is for the slightly poorer and for conflicts of local, lesser intensity.

  8. The entire avionics system and radar system including the next generation which is shown what design built and manufactured by Hughes Aircraft Company. The initial design went airborne in late 1970's iirr with both the original and new radar arrays created by HAC scientists at the Hughes Research Lab in Malibu, California back in the late 80's…….. today known as HRL.

  9. Simon, I know that you do not write the defence scripts but do tell those who do to include at least a mention of Australian models having shown significant metal structure problems earlier than projections predicted.
    Turkey reported similar things but has a tradition of overhauling US-made aircraft with underrated expertise. E.g. their extended life F-16s bear little resemblance to the original GD airframes. Also, bear in mind that Boeing is currently having to ground numerous Seattle products in civil aviation.
    Your writers also need to study developments in SIGINT assets from near space developing between Asian states and Russia. The UK and Japan, alongside "local partners" are well on with variants of drones able to 'swarm' to simple, localized commands without leaving electromagnetic traces sufficient to determine a sending point as well as allowing a potential enemy to map concerted activity — called 'joining the dots'. Composite manned or crew-less submarines made of composites seem to be included in this but I haven't a clue how.
    AEWCC large aircraft on missions with starting and ending times, even if not returning to departure bases, glow with EM activity and are already obsolete.
