  • Is that true that the Israelis were going to nuke Syria? Because I remember at the peak of the war Israeli troops halted their advance for a little over a day and there was no explanation for it, this allowed Israel sufficient time to regroup and get reinforcements up to the Golan which led to the eventual capture of the Golan. Anyone care to explain or did the arab officers just make a major error?

  • Ending conflict with as few casualties as possible is the best way to go. The bombs did exactly just that in the Pacific front. Either kill 500,000 people, or lose millions on both sides.

  • @kanjiguy106 I was told it was 300,000 people, just saying... agree with you though.

  • @Rawc90

    I knew the figure would be a tad bit lower than 500,000. But some people round up too much and I'd might as well put it in a way that they won't have to be "confused".

  • Frankly, what matters is that the nuke on Japan saved American lives. It'd be nice to consider the Japanese, but war isn't a time for being nice. Anyone who says they'd rather have had Americans killed is a traitor.

  • @jayc1776 Anyone who says they'd rather have a Human die is a traitor. But I'd much rather have a self righteous American die than any other

  • I just came to post a comment about how cool this intro is for a film and now we just have a typical youtube shitstorm full of half-cocked insults and brain-dead remarks.

    lol

  • Where is Sam Fisher or the Ghost Team or the Rainbow Six guys in this movie?Also no HAWX team :D

  • President Truman did give the Japanese the opportunity to surrender before dropping the bomb...Actually study your history rather than pontificating like you know something......"The Potsdam Declaration" and the Japanese ignored it......proof is that even after two bombs were dropped, they still waited another 5 days to surrender.....And let us not forget WHO STARTED THE DAMNED WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Don't hate just because we ended it in a manner that you in 20/20 hindsight deemed wrong

  • iran we have just expertise maybe we have probably 1 or 2 nuclear warhead maybe its a copy the experimental corean test and a copy to ICBM made in NORTH COREAN... la coree du nord pourrais bien vendre sa technologie contre du petrole IRANIEN

  • President's gonna get some!

  • Shiest PILOT EVER

  • Tacticals by US will be used within the next 20 years. Not because they are needed but as a signal to new players to watch out. It will be very tough to be an emerging N-Player. Always under heavy threat-as it must be.

  • long live Israel ! the only free country among Muslim retards !

  • @AbramsEgypt

    that was not a racial comment since muslims are not a race. you are not born muslim, you are being born black, white, asian, etcetera but you can't be born muslim because it's a religion and not a race

  • @jacquelineveronique ,.. they say bad words about us as a religion ,... we are 1/3 of the planet man! show us respect we are NOT in a worship of animals or Idols ....... we believe in GOD ,.. the only one who created us all with no partner and we believe in Moses and Jesus and all his messengers and we believe that Mohamed (PUH) Is his last messenger, that's us Muslims ,.so what do we have is so different to be attacked that way by such comments full of Insults !!?

  • @AbramsEgypt

    A woman was stoned to death b/c had sex with another man. Her own man DIED so she was a widow, found another man, had sex and stoned to death. Women can not walk outside alone without a man and must wear a burqa. LBGT people were publicly executed by hanging in Iran. A woman was beheaded for so called adultery in Saudi Arabia. Women can't drive, can't vote, and honor killings are normal with muslims. Muslims are backward oppressors against women while a woman gave them birth.

  • @jacquelineveronique about the stoned women : she can marry another man and she can marry till she die as she wish !,.. a women is stoned to death if and only if she had sex as a sin with any man except her husband and she was seen by 4 witnesses ,...if only 3 witnesses saw her the three of them should be punished VERY hard " Whipped ",... I wonder who can have sex on front of people except animals !

    and yes she should be stoned to death because she should be an example

  • @AbramsEgypt

    " and yes she should be stoned to death because she should be an example "

    It's about INDIVIDUAL freedom and that is what muslims don't understand. A person is in charge of his or her own body and by saying she should be stoned to death it says how muslims think and that's why we keep our nukes so in case we do have to take you out. If a person wants to have sex in front of other people who all agree it's none of your business while muslims rape children and camels

  • @jacquelineveronique : "If a person wants to have sex in front of other people who all agree it's none of your business" I just don't understand how you feel respect for your self,...

    do you agree to see you daughter, Sister, mother, or even you or your husband having sex on public ! and telling me it is freedom !

    you are very far away to understand such beautiful word!

  • @AbramsEgypt

    A woman or man is in charge of her or his OWN body. It's not about if I respect or disrespect them, it's about FREEDOM. I never said in public, moron. In America there are sex festivals with many people behind closed doors, also many porn movies are made in America, many Americans have watched porn movies so now most Americans must be stoned to death ? I tell you what, if you muslims try to to it we will nuke all you back to the stoneage. One Ohio class submarine and your history

  • @jacquelineveronique ...... keep saying lies about us and I know you and me can keep talking for years and you won't just admit that you are wrong so there will be a judgment day, when we all will be asked by GOD for our actions so save it for that day,..

  • @AbramsEgypt

    Hey, I'm going to use the quran for target practice. I let you choose with what caliber I must destroy the quran. I can take a .223 ( AR 15 / M16 ) or the .308 ( M 14 ). You can choose, nice form me, neh ? I can also use a shotgun if you prefer that. Just let me know camel fucker

  • @jacquelineveronique that's how you act when you just can't prove your point of view !

    how behaved you are !

    you just proof that we are better than you!

    by the way I won't shoot your holy book because we as Muslims believe in it too,.. that's our Morality and That's our religion.

    the funny thing is I asked GOD yesterday to show you the right bath, because people like you when realize,.. they just become so strong and better believers much more those who born believers and I still ask him that !

  • @AbramsEgypt

    I don't have to prove my point of view because I state a fact that muslims are retarded.

    You never answered my question, do you want me to use a .223 or .308 when I shoot at the quran. And of course I dip the bullets in PORN meat before I insert it in a magazine. Perhaps I also stick a picture of your fake prophet mohammed with a bomb on his head, like the Danish cartoon makers made, lol.

  • @jacquelineveronique

    PORN = PORK

  • @jacquelineveronique you girls both believe in a books full of lies and shit

  • @seppukuification925

    I don't believe in any book pertaining to religion, moron

  • @jacquelineveronique well you were the dumbass who was talking about shooting the Quran as if the holey bible is any different than the quran.

    Christians and Jews were first jihads

  • @seppukuification925

    "Jihad" is not a person or entity. 

  • Comment removed

  • @jacquelineveronique in Islam women aren't forced to wear burqa it is by her own will,..in Islam women aren't beheaded for adultery and I already talked about that,...Iran are "shea`a" they are like a brother hood and they are always in an underground war against Sunna like us because they " some of them "have a wrong thoughts about islam " they made some changes in their religion,.. and I still can't believe that they hang people for that however it is a very bad sins and need punishment ,...

  • @jacquelineveronique : women can drive and they are here in Egypt driving more than men! I wonder where do you get your information Afghanistan maybe ! and she can vote and you can search about the Egyptian elections 2011 our women went to vote by millions !

    and it is well known that Islam is the only Religion that save the women's pride and dignity and if you want a proof ,.. you can search for any Islamic center near by you and ask about it,.. I'm sure they will proof it to you better than me

  • @jacquelineveronique : I wonder one thing,.. why all of the Issues mentioned by you is about sex and driving and you didn't look farther ,...I give you the answer : because you people so afraid about your life style you don't care about religion or the worship for GOD who created us all ,...all things you said is a sin in all religion so follow yours if you believe in GOD and stop attacking our religion.

    do your duty that's why we are all created from the beginning !

  • @AbramsEgypt

    it's about individual freedom that's why I mention it and your god is not mine and if you force your god upon the west you'll get war you can't win. We Americans are fed up with you muslims that it won't take long that you cross the line forcing your religion upon to us that we will have to nuke you for our survival. If I'm president I would not hesitate to take out the capitals of all muslim countries + mecca and medina. Because we are fed up with you muslims.

  • @AbramsEgypt racist muslims aint a race muslims are a group of people in a religion.

  • @satojinnthehero yes, and I didn't say they are a race,..

    BTW I'm Egyptian and Muslim ......" and I'm Very proud "

    thanks for ALLAH

  • They would still have 399 more nukes to go?

  • no one, especially israel is going to let a nuclear bomb sit around in the deserts of syria, because of that the whole movie sucks

  • @9802972371 The plane was flying so low it would have been invisible to both Arab and Israeli ground based long range radar. Its possible Israel knew the bomb was down in the desert but had no idea where it was. Rather than draw attention to its existence by searching a hotly contested border area. They could have just hoped it was destroyed lost.

  • @STDrepository thats very valid point

  • @supar2100 doesnt matter the point being the iranians are new to the table when isreal as been choc a block with wmd s

  • the whole idea of this movie is ridiculous; the Israelis would've either escorted a nuclear-armed fighter-bomber, which definitely would've been an F-4 Phantom. More importantly though, the Israelis would've launched their nuclear weapons via Jericho I (MD-620) missiles.

  • @troublemakerrafi

    it's a movie, moron

  • @troublemakerrafi actually, that was the original plan, their land forces were being destroyed, a big escort wouldve brought too much attention to the bomb,thats why they took their chances, of course, that jet wasnt destroyed, but it could...

  • The book was better

  • This song is awesome!

  • @MRWALKER500000 actually, the irani gov has 30 atomic bombs and 2 icbm

  • @supar2100  What's your source of this information?

  • @stuntmanmike37 Not sure what his source is, but try "history"

  • @Sunburn2007 There's nothing in any written history about Iran having an ICBM or any operational atomic weapons.

  • @stuntmanmike37 The only thing I see he said was about the validity of Israel having an A-4 Skyhawk airborne with a nuclear weapon during the 73' war. Otherwise, if he said something else, its buried beyond reach in the YouTube graveyard.

  • @stuntmanmike37 iran bought the nukes from russia when the ussr fell apart... but iran wont use it and it wont attack anyone because all of iran purchases over the years were invested in defensive technology and their training is more defense oriented.

  • Is this true. Israel was willing to use nukes. If this is a true story they deserve to be crushed off the map. Any people who would use a weapon to hurt their enemy and not care about the innocent people also hurt with this type of weapon are either crazy or stupid.

  • @masterboycblack Or a Brit such as yourself.

  • @masterboycblack They were the first and only times they've been used in war, and only because a conventional invasion of Japan would have meant much more suffering. U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson estimated 1.7 and 4 million Allied casualties, while Japanese casualties would have been up to 10 million. The Imperial Japanese Army had orders to kill all Allied POWs if an invasion happened.

    So please stop with your prejudiced bullshit calling Americans crazy and stupid, 'kay?

  • @baghend I think for myself, actually. I do my own research. What do you do? Skulk around on conspiracy nutjob websites swallowing heavily edited bullshit and patting yourself on the back for "not being lied to?"

    You should follow your own advice.

  • @TheTongueTerrorist It was the combined shock of the Soviet Union violating the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact by invading Manchuria, which happened during the American atomic bombings, that forced Emperor Hirohito to order the Supreme Council for the Direction of War to accept the terms laid out by the Potsdam Declaration.

    Don't be such a dumbarse yourself. Read a history book.

  • @TheTongueTerrorist Wow. You believe Americans must quietly accept accusations of being "crazy and stupid," huh? That to do otherwise is "exceptionalist?" You're an asshole.

    The ACTUAL records show that the "Big Six" were only trying to negotiate as early as July 30, not "months" before like you claim. There were also divisions within the Japanese leadership, which led to the attempted c'oup d'etat (the Kyūjō Incident) that would have kept Japan fighting to the bitter end.

  • That should actually be "June 30," but YouTube comments can't be edited. Still, 37 days is not the same as months--and it was clear from decoded communications that Emperor Hirohito didn't have the full backing of Japan. Just earlier that month five of the "Big Six" adopted a policy of fighting to the bitter end. Four of the Big Six wanted to reject the Potsdam Declaration on July 27, and publicly the Prime Minister vowed to "kill" the declaration with silence.

  • @HooshIsASoup I agree the atomic bomb was a nessicary evil without it who knows how long Japan would have held out and how many more lives would have been lost during world war two... Now lengthened to the early fifties perhaps..

  • @HooshIsASoup

    I disagree, we didn't have to invade Japan or nuke those two cities. We could easily have contained them. The reason why we used nukes as a warning to the communists because it was clear that after the war the USSR and USA would be on a collision course due to our differences.

  • @HooshIsASoup Also, the Japanese were saying they wouldn't be beat until all of them die. They changed their mind when we took out thousands in seconds.

  • @HooshIsASoup So killing civilians are right to decrease the dead of soldiers I bet that osama and saddam understood that

  • @HooshIsASoup indeed, nuking japan was an act of mercy, if we hadnt nuked them we would have wiped them out to a man. there is so much hate in the world for those who make the hard choices, and those who attain to be righteous in the law. America is the most hated nation next to the hatred of the jews, it is indeed sad times. there is always suffering in the world, but i feel that its going to be magnified soon.

  • @SamuelJCir

    There are many who say nuking Japan for their own good (and ours) is a failed argument and I agree. The United States should of, but didnt, inform the Japanese heirarchy that they possessed such a weapon and would systematically destroy Japanese cities until they submitted - then arrange a demonstration for a Japanese nominated envoy or delegation. Essentially, not all steps were taken to avoid using nukes which pretty much only killed non-combatants.

  • @Internetbutthurt always assume that when it concerns war we know less than there is to know. i dont think it would have made a difference anyways, and the we didnt know that the radiation dangers levels when we dropped the nuke.

  • but didn't Israel searched for the pilot? for the airplane? for the NUKE?

  • I REALLY LOVE THIS OPPENING!!

  • Read the book, the movie is total crap and even Clancy hated it.

  • @RetSquid And in no small part due to Ben Affleck.

  • ATOMIC BOMB AND NUCLEAR BOMB CAN DESTROY THE WORLD ! THANKS TO ALBERT'S EINSTEIN THEORY OF RELATIVITY !

    WE MUST ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PEACE IS WAR AND SO AS WAR TO PEACE..BUT THE QUESTION IS...IS PEACE ABSOLUTE ?

  • @flynne100 Atomic bomb was created by Enrico Fermi he was as Einstein a jew born in a fascist country so he also had to escape to the states.

  • and second the nuke its furnish to israel by the STUPID USA

    in 1968

  • stupid patrol with no air air missile and a nuke only its impossible

  • @ticul032 in the book, the plane was loaded for a nuclear strike if things got really bad, then they removed the bombs from all the planes, and in the chaos of the air base it got left on there, the pilot thought it was a fuel tank and was on a mission to take out some Syrian tanks, he needed to get there fast so decided to leave it on.

  • How in Gods name did the nuke survive an explosion AND the large fall to the ground?

  • @armchairmaster you realize the sort of beating anuke can take and remain intact right?

  • @armchairmaster Nuclear bombs are not armed until shortly before they strike their target. For a nuke to explode, it must go through a criticality process that must be precise. Even if the bomb was punctured by the missile, it would be nothing more than a dirty bomb.

  • @Read2Rock Jews are better than a sand nazi like yourself that's for sure.

  • Is this true?? That they were going to nuke the arabs???

  • The land was historically the Jews to begin with until the Philistines started the conflict and for centuries have been the problem to this day. The governments of Arab world have been nothing but trouble to society and pathetically scapegoat Israel when the Arab world started the problems themselves. Plus The Jews didn't attack since well it was a British mandate to begin with and given to the Jews since the Palestinians sparked violence first.

  • so where the sidewinder missile for patrol the patrol its normalaly with 2 sidewinder and 2 canon but not a only nuclear bomb

  • Long live the Fist of the Fleet. R.I.P. old Miramar from CVN-76 VFA-22, O.E.F.

  • Didnt Isreal own the fuck out of the arabs?

    This is the ^ day war right?

  • Israel doesn't take shit from anyone and rightfully and understandably so.

  • Very good movie, I wish someone would upload the speech by Dresler, its brilliant.

  • Kind of odd the plane picked up it was being tagged when a missile was only several hundred metres away.

  • One of the most powerful opening sequences to a movie ever.

  • stupid movie a A4 patrol with a nuclear weapon and no defensive missile dohhhhhhhh

  • @ticul032 What defensive missile agains Neva here simulated by US SM1 launcher? And who is noob here.

    The only weak point is that this plane should not loiter over enemy territory, that's all. No magic defensive missiles.

  • goddamn i love movies

  • anyone direct me or have these lyrics in Latin as sung in the film?

  • why you goin to sing it to me ??

  • The first 3 minutes of this film gives us an idea of the constant danger Israel is. The music is just inspiring and astonishing, the background can't be better since the military are placing the nuke, then the jet fighter takes off and the Israeli desert in the ground

  • how the fuck would they know we sent in the stealths? they're stealth

  • @playerdepimp Stealth doesn't mean invisible. Serbians brought down a F-117 during the war in Kosovo by using "antiquated" radars on a low frequency setting. Then they shoved a SAM up their tailpipes. Stealth technology can't make planes disappear... just less visible. An F-22 shows up on radar as a sparrow... but few sparrows are capable of 600 miles per hour.

  • There are some serious difference between the movie and the novel by Tom Clancy. Firstly, the pilots and groundcrews didnt know it was a nuke and thought it was a fuel tank. Second, there were 4 aircraft on patrol, not one. Third, they did get into some action and destoroyed the sam site with 1 survivor. That surviving aircraft was badly damagd and crashed eventually with the pilot and the bomb flew into a farm. Fourth, the pilot was an 18 year old unmarried.

  • @SS1v3k1 Quite unrealistic, I must say - I doubt the Israelis or anyone else would entrust a precious nuke to an inexperienced young pilot. Besides, I can't think of any pilot who would have gotten his wings until quite some time past 20, at least not since WWII.

  • If an Israeli jet were carrying something as vital as a nuclear bomb, why would it ever fly within range of enemy SAMs? Why not loiter over friendly airspace out of range?

  • Israel could have nuked the hell out of Egypt and Syria back in '73. Would have done society a great favor for the future since the Middle East is a cancer on our economy and society.

  • @GSPatton89 And likewise is Israel. Do you even know how much they get from US in foreign military aid every year? I dare say more than the rest of their NATO allies combined - and all that just to keep a bunch of hook-nosed hypocrite Zionist scumbags from getting slaughtered by pathetic sand negroes who are very pissed at them for stealing their land and bombing their shitholes of homes.

    And yeah, I don't think highly of either side in this Near East conflict. We should just stop feeding them.

  • @CyberWar666 @CyberWar666 Um no Arabs have always been the problem and technically and historically the Arabs are on Israelie territory. If anyone to give back land it is Gaza, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm really sick of this anti-semtic bullshit spouted off!

  • @GSPatton89 See, this is exactly why so many people have a problem with Israelis and Jews in general. As soon as you get critical about them, you automatically become an anti-Semite, racist, Neo-Nazi and whatnot.

    So what is it that makes child-murdering Zionist scum so special that they cannot be criticized over what they are doing in Palestine for the last 50 years? Arabs have been living there for the last 1200 years or so, with no Jew ever making a fuss of it until now.

  • @CyberWar666 Simple the Arabs have been the problem since the beginning especially when they were enslaving Jews. Today Hamas, Hezbollha start shit by fiering first and when Israel returns fire the Palistinan authority ass holes use civilian homes as an ammo depot. So the worthless U.N. and E.U. have the audacity to yell at israel when the Palistinian's shot first. If there is to be any land given back it should be technically Israel's neighbors since they are already on it.

  • @CyberWar666 Besides if the world would support Israel more and helped put the terrorist aiding Arab governments in their place instead of caring about their shity statehood and damn oil, which is someting Europe and North America can just simply take, mabey we wouldn't have to deal with intrusive airport security and looking over our shoulders every second. Think about it you want to get rid off the terrorist cells frame them. Make it look like they attacked thier own governments. Civil War

  • @GSPatton89 I think getting rid of Israel would be a more rational choice, because it's thanks to them that we even have this terrorism problem in the first place. It's thanks to Western support that the Zionists were able to steal their land in the start, it's thanks to Western support that they were unable to take it back, and even today Westerners still do the dirty work for Israelis, destabilizing the region with wars.

    Obviously, the Arabs try to get back - with the means they can.

  • @CyberWar666 That was sad and foolish. The Arabs got their asses kicked twice in 67 and 76 and still you want to support terrorist supporting nations even though they want to kill you and turn you country under a caliphate. Well so be it the world will wake up soon and realize they should not have turned against Israel. Before I go just wanted to say last month Iran launched 24 fighters to attack Israel and before they reached the border all figthers crashed due to reports of severe turbulance.

  • @GSPatton89 The reason they want to kill Westerners and turn their countries into caliphates is precisely because they support the Zionists, who have stolen their land and treated their compatriots like shit ever since 1948.

    If sand negroes want to kill kikes, so be it - I just don't see why our boys should be sent to die in foreign wars, doing the dirty work for the Zionist scum. West should concentrate on handling their own internal threats instead.

  • @CyberWar666 Stupidest response ever. Israel does not need your support it can kick your country's E.U. lapdog ass someday on the battlefield of Megiddo.

  • @GSPatton89 You really seem to be a big fan of Israel. Is it just plain sympathy with the "chosen people", or is there something more personal to it?

    And as far as I know, European Union did not exist at the time of any of the three battles of Megiddo, so having our ass kicked in any of them isn't really an option. That is, unless you really are serious about THE battle of Megiddo that a certain popular Jewish fairy-tale book speaks about. Which I really hope you aren't.

  • @CyberWar666 It is not sympathy and by far it is no fairy-tale battle. They say the greatest trick ever pulled was Devil was able to convince mankind he never existed. So in other words I'm convinced that you are already been convinced. So keep on bashing Israel it will get you nowhere.

  • @GSPatton89 Ah, I see... Didn't take you for the religious type at first.

    Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe things are the other way around? If Satan is such a master deceiver, surely he could work out a scheme to deceive believers into thinking that their enemies are actually their allies.

    And yes, unless I see evidence that convinces me otherwise, I am convinced that God and Devil are symbols, metaphores rather than actual entities. Can you prove otherwise?

  • Great opening, and music sets the mood... More Tom Clancy movies PLEASE!

  • None of this would have happened if Israel had not launched Operation Focus and subsequently the Six Day War.

  • When in doubt, nuke 'em.

    Well, you might as well say, when in doubt, kill off all mankind.

  • This movie could be very good if not that absolute dumb scenario. Why could one have a nuke for a patrol mission?

  • @zipacna1980 Search for war of Yom Kippur (from a Jewish religious holiday). On this occasion it was the armies of Egypt and Syria attacked Israel by surprise, who lost control of the Suez Canal.

  • @derekwillstar But I dont understand? Israel was going to nuke Egypt/Syria?

  • @vide0gameCaster according to the movie they were about to nuke Syria because it is more near for Israel's Capital, however nowadays if there is a war between Egypt/Syria Vs israel again they will nuke us " Egypt" no questions ask and that is because of our great population capacity ,.... note that Israel population is 5 millions and say 10 millions ,..Syria is about 35 millions ,....Egypt is about 80 millions !!!!!

  • @zipacna1980 Not all that dumb. It wasn't for a patrol mission. The idea was that the Israelis had a secret emergancy plan to nuke Jordan if it looked like they were on the verge of victory.

    In the book its a bit more detailed, the fighter-bombers get recalled and reloaded for a close support mission. But due to an ordinance handling accident the nuke isn't removed from one of the aircraft. It gets shot down attacking a Jordanian SAM unit and the bomb ends up buried in the desert.

  • @zipacna1980 Well its not acually a patrol mission its job was to fly close to Cairo then if the Isralie ground forces where destroyed and it was given the green light it would be sent to launch a nuclear strike on Cairo but as it is in the air and not doing anything technicaly it is classed as a patrol mission.

  • @thebritish25

    The plane was operating in the Golan Heights/Syria.

  • @zipacna1980 Because the way the geo-political structure was set up, Egypt was becoming a U.S. ally, even though they were dependent on the Soviets. The Syrians however, as history has told, have never been a friend ot us. So one theory is we told Israel to take out Damascus in a final effort against them if necessary.

  • @Sunburn2007

    Syria was part of the Anglo-Arab coalition in Desert Storm. Plus Syria provided assistance to the US in the post 9/11 War on Terror.

  • @mkadams99 You realize the opening takes place in 1973?

  • @zipacna1980 - According to Clancy's original book, the bomb was mistakenly loaded on to the aircraft, and the pilot took off before the technicians could remove it.

  • Ever notice that whenever a man looks at a picture of his wife, girlfriend, or baby, he's guaranteed to die very quickly?

  • @RedFoxAce it's against SOP to keep pictures of loved ones in the cockpit due to the dangers of distraction... well at least in most air forces...

  • @zipacna1980 The book explains it better. The plane and four like it were armed for a deterrence mission before the Israelis were sure they could hold. The bombs were to be stripped off and the planes sent off to go hunt tanks, but due to a mix up and plane crash one bomb was left on and the new flight crew guys thought it was a radar pod and left it. The plane's shot down and buried for 30 years.

  • @patsfreak "and the new flight crew guys thought it was a radar pod and left it. "

    Now thats is Clancy's masterpiece. What else could ground crew mistake? sleeping bag for a parachute?

  • @zipacna1980 It wasn't a patrol mission even though the stupid caption says it was. It was Israels last line of defense in the event that their ground forces were overrun.

  • @zipacna1980 Not really such a dumb scenario. The United States have lost at least 6 Nuclear weapons since 1950 including an A-4 Skyhawk (bomb & pilot) lost over the side of the USS Ticonderoga near Japan in 1965. They only acknowledged this in 1981. So as you can see not such a absolute dumb scenario. In Israel 1973 it is indeed a good scenario. If you have only 1 bomb you want to move it the whole time so the enemy cannot find it.

  • @zipacna1980 Uhm, it does state quite clearly, "in the case that ground forces were overrun".

  • @zipacna1980 beacuse the jews at the start felt they may lose the war and fi so wanted a nuke up in the air they could call down and make the arabs back off since they did not 100 percent knwo the jews had nukes.

  • @zipacna1980 The first time I watched this movie and saw the beginning I was like, WTF? Why is that guy flying on a patrol mission with a live nuke? But as it is written at the beginning of the movie, the Israeli's were thinking that their ground forces would be overrun in a short period and they would not have enough soldiers to fight that war, so in case if that happened they were getting ready to Nuke the capital of Egypt or Syria. I guess well never know :))))

  • @zipacna1980 The movie is way different form the book. In the book, the ground crew actualy forgot that there was a nuke on the plane, and the pilot took off anyway.

  • @zipacna1980 in the film israel was on verge of military defeat that nuke would be the last weapon if the bases were captured and ground froces defeated

  • @kingnick104 Well, you have to call this mission different. Not a patrol for sure.

  • @zipacna1980 when the security of the state is under a major threat and if this threat has become real, every mean is necessary to prevent a major disaster, like the fall of yoiur country under the hands of invading armies.

  • @TopoRoger1 not when it could lead to the destruction of innocent or ally nations, one nuke no, but think of what would have happened if the cold war went nuclear.

  • @MrGeforcerFX Every mean. By every mean I also include nukes. And if the Cold war didn't get bloody hot we have to thank JFK and the reminders that the Russians had, over 22000000 of them to be exact, and each of them has a name and an adress.

  • Love the soundtrack - esp. this composition + also the Yolanda Adams song ("If We Could Remember")....Thanks!
