The Department of Defense has a budget of $817 billion for fiscal year 2023. More than $44 billion of that is dedicated to adding new warplanes to its fleet, with additional funds going to maintenance, training, and fuel for aircraft like the A-10 Thunderbolt II, MV-22 Osprey, C-17, F-35B Lightning II, and the AC-130J Ghostrider. Each aircraft is built to execute a wide variety of missions like close air support, transporting troops and cargo, and conducting humanitarian missions.

    I feel like business insider of whatever they are calling themselves now is just a combined version of different videos that they already released and putting it into a new video and giving it a new title
  • @JDMKEV
    unsung hero's...dont get the amount of recognition they truly deserve
  • @GamerBro22299
    This video was a series of previous videos combined into one. But even then, goes to show how much work is put into things like maintaining aircraft, creating new aircraft, training future pilots and carrying out exercises to prepare for a real life combat situation. Much respect to all those serving in the military for their hard work and commitment to protecting their country and allies abroad.
  • @JayB2
    The F35 is impressive but my favorite fighter is definitely the F22 Raptor.
  • @nerd26373
    These warplanes are on another level. It's fascinating to see everything unfold. To the ones reading this comment, just know that you are all blessed.

    Working as civilian contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan 2006 thru 2012 I always LOVED getting an opportunity to travel in the Osprey. When those huge wings rotate into forward travel the acceleration G's you feel in the cabin is awesome!
  • @ZOCCOK
    These videos are titled like a Tutorial 😂 Yes, I do have 44 billion and was just thinking how I can spend them on warplanes 😂🙏

    The Military Industrial Complex rules the world.

    Former machinist here. There's a lot more work in making those wierd and precisely shaped airplane parts than you think because you can't weld or cast aluminum. You have to start with a block of metal and cut it down until you get the part. Most of the material goes in the recycle and robot cutting machines do most of the work but it might take a semi-skilled worker all day to make 100 VERY SIMPLE parts while the bigger structural parts we did often took three guys all day to make a couple dozen. This is why airplanes are so expensive.
  • @flyingdentist
    I hope that all these incredible machines will be used in training missions and not in combat wars.All the staff working on these amazing planes deserve our respect.

    The us marine corps on its own is bigger than our entire Air Force army and navy combined here in the U.K.
  • @saltycreole2673
    I saw the first iteration of the A-10 in 1976. (Won't say where) It was so new the flight crew covered the cockpit so Soviet satellites couldn't see inside. Ironically, it was the Army/Marines who lobbied to keep the A-10 in the inventory because of its infantry support capabilities.

    People dont realize the F35B essentially gives Japan aircraft carriers again (they are technically not "allowed" to have them). They can be deployed from much smaller "helicopter" carriers and have give immense more capability then the outgoing harrier.
  • @helen5472
    Those pilots, men and women are awesome. They are talented, smart, courageous, and selfless. They are trained to protect our country and to rescue those who need help.
  • Good to see al these very well trained young people with good values behind all that equipment
  • @BasicBobby
    The F-35B is the most essential component of our broader strategy in securing the pacific. A stealth fighter, fleet defense and strike fighter, deployable from a network of many tiny, faster ships is the only viable naval aviation deployment strategy moving forward. Super carriers are too large and vulnerable to sail within 400 miles of China ground-based anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, in wartime. These ships can sail closer and can spread the power over larger areas. They are smaller, cheaper, harder to track, and as a distributed system, if one leaves for repair, you don’t lose an entire limb of our forces… The carrier can act as the center of the hive, of the distributed system. Moreover, carriers can then shift their operations to larger, heavier aircraft for long-range strike, interdiction, surveillance. AEWACs, refueling, logistics, etc,,,,
