Watch This Bomb Bay View Of A B-52 Carpet Bombing An Island
Watch This Bomb Bay View Of A B-52 Carpet Bombing An Island-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:28

You are looking at 45 surplus M117 750lb general purpose bombs being dropped out of the weapons bay of a B-52H Stratofortress in under two seconds. You can see the impacts seconds later on the island far below.

Last March I asked a B-52 pilot how accurate using the B-52's radar to deliver dumb bombs is in a day and age of precision guided munitions. The pilot's response:

"Freakishly accurate. If you need a building destroyed use a PGM (precision guided munition), if you need the sprawling industrial complexes around it gone too, a B-52 laden with dumb bombs is your guy."

The P-3 Orion Is Old, But It's Ready To Hunt Some Submarines
Theis just one tough old air blender. These aircraft just keep at it decade after decade, hunting submarines and patrolling the world’s sea lanes. Case in point, this spectacular image showing three of these old birds belonging to VP-4 ‘Skinny Dragons’ being readied for their next sorties out of Marine...

Why Don't The Newest US Air Force F-16s Use These High-Tech Fuel Tanks?
Why Don't The Newest US Air Force F-16s Use These High-Tech Fuel Tanks?
Fuel is the ever-present specter that looms over every pilot. It’s great when you have enough of it, and terrifying when you don’t. This is especially true for notoriously fuel hungry tactical fighters. Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) have become an increasingly popular way to add range to existing fighter designs,...

You know those movie scenes where somebody gets shot but they’re fine because there was a bible or something in their pocket acting as body armor? Here’s a little experiment with the, uh, modern equivalent. Or maybe just an excuse to shoot a gun at a stack of iPhones. found...

Red Devils Parachute Team Members Work Together To Survive Entanglement
Red Devils Parachute Team Members Work Together To Survive Entanglement
I didn’t run this story yesterday because I couldn’t figure out exactly what occurred here. All the were reporting that a parachute failed and that another team member came to the stricken skydiver’s rescue. But that really sounded odd. It turns out, as I suspected, that the two jumpers got...
