Video Description

This video has annoyed a lot of Serbians. ========== https://gamersupps.gg/Lazer use code 'lazer' 10% off purchases something something Wifu cup. ========== The Socials.

This was just bad phrasing. What I meant to say big wings give better performance at high altitudes but affect maneuverability, so if you want to fly high but maneuver you need shorter wings etc etc. 34:50: "Over the Horizon attack" is the wrong phrase as this suggests the jet is capable of aiming at things beyond the curvature of the Earth, it cannot. The correct phrase is "BVR" or Beyond visual range. 1:05:28: I guess it would be wrong to say /all/ long-wavelength radar cannot penetrate clouds, some frequencies of long-wavelength radar are better at penetrating clouds than other radar frequencies. S and C band frequencies are very good at penetrating clouds and are used primarily as weather radar. X-band is used as a targeting frequency because it is not a long-wavelength radar, it is a very short wavelength and is the exact kind of frequency modern stealth planes are built to beat. https://www.ibm.com/weather/industries/broadcast-media/what-is-weather-radar https://www.leonardodrs.com/news/thought-leadership/what-are-s-and-x-band-radar-and-how-are-they-used-today/ ================ References/sources: Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed - Leo Janos, Ben R.
