Let’s be honest / you can make that same quality in Japan for less than 70%. It’s $400K because US Congress is in bed with military industrial complex. Defense contractors own Congress. Over half our yearly budget goes to excessive military spending but no one says anything because then you get called “unpatriotic.” It’s $400K cuz the defense contractor who makes this overpriced jet, has the only key to the software so of course they get to charge $400K for a FREAKING Helmet. While republicans say we have a debt problem and clamor we need to cut spending, don’t ever listen to them or anyone if they don’t include military spending cuts as well. If we cut military spending by half from $850B/yr to $425B/year, WE WOULD STILL SPEND MORE THAN THE NEXT top 5 nations combined!

Our pilots in the Navy had these things 20 years ago and this is the first time I’m seeing a video about one on youtube and I am subscribed to many military channels. We used to call them Rhino Helmets.. But that is probably because our squadron flew F/A-18 Super Hornets and on the carrier they were always announced as “Rhinos” when they landed and at the time, only our squadrons pilots had the Rhino Helmets. Or being described as having “Rhino Intakes” because they were big square and bulky looking. One of our pilots let me wear his one day and explained that he doesn’t have to get a target inside the target box on the HUD to lock onto it like other jets have. He could simply look at the target and lock on with his helmet and that was it. He didn’t even need to fire it. The WSO in the back seat (Weapons Systems Officer) or “Wizzo” as we called them, could take it from there while the pilot went back to flying the jet. Those helmets make things super easy for the pilot.

So tell me, since you have more experience with jets, pilots, the Navy and all that, what’s the difference between the two helmets then? Since me being a Plane Captain who got his name on his squadrons show jet, meaning i was the best of 70 plane captains and there were only 12 jets and I spent literally day in and day out with these things for 5 years during operations Iraqi and enduring freedom, please tell me where im wrong. Since they look and do the SAME THING, they quite literally are the same helmet. Except maybe my pilot’s helmet was tantamount to an iPhone 2 and right now they are on iPhone 15. Ya get me? One of our pilots even mentioned to me he never uses his HUD for locking on anymore because he just does it with his helmet. It fed all sorts of information to him. Including how far away the target is before they are within locking range. And you could even lock on to more than one enemy for simple positioning information. Like if you happen to lock onto three jets flying in front of you before they know you are there or paying attention to you but then do notice you and split up, your helmet will track them so you don’t lose them in the sun and stuff.. Little red and green arrows that show where the jet is if they aren’t in your field of view. I left out allot of things that helmet can do. Including stuff I know that wasn’t in my pilots helmet like that smart glass sun dampening system or whatever I saw on Not What You Think UKposts Chanel. That can dampen the sun if you are trying to escape towards the sun so you don’t blind yourself. So tell me, what is the difference between these two helmets since they seem to be doing the same thing for the pilot.

@princessglitterbutt598420 днів тому
I can’t claim to know more than you but from what I can tell there were some technical upgrades but also some cool new features. They were designed along with the F35 so the technology is completely integrated into the jet itself. They also have improved night vision camera, new liquid-crystal displays, automated alignment and software improvements including being able to show what fellow pilots and their jets see and being able to essentially see “through” the jets bc of all the built in cameras. The new software also synthesizes all the input information in a way that didn’t exist before, you mentioned locking into a few different jets and it would track them so this one detects threats even before the pilot can see them, keeps track of it and shares the information with the other pilots. Anyway I just find them fascinating and apparently now they’re working on AI software for them so the pilots would be able not only to see through F35s but be able to “see” into enemy jets.
@desertegle40cal20 днів тому
@@princessglitterbutt5984 yeah a few jets have helmets like these now. Back when I was in the Navy, every single carrier I was on and every time we did detachments to other bases like Top Gun in Fallon NV or the Kew West Base here in Florida, our pilots were the only ones walking around the flight line with “Rhino” Helmets on. Now even the air force has them, hence the video and why i said I have been into jets and the military air support of the United States since the early 2000s and this is the first time I’m seeing a video explaining them.. Each jet is different and made specifically to do a specific job. We don’t have multiples renditions of the same type of jet that do the same thing so one could deduce that each helmet made for a specific jet is different. But my point was that in 20 something years this is the first time I ever saw a video or another pilot other than a Navy pilot using these things. And one could probably also deduce that straight Fighter or Strike Fighter jets (Air to air dogfighting jets conducting air superiority), as opposed to straight Attack jets (bombing only) or like my F/A -18 Super Hornets which can do both Fighting and Attacking, do not have the Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) pods that can help the pilot see through their own fuselage. I wasn’t saying this was the EXACT SAME helmet. But they are basically performing the same functions, maybe with a few software upgrades but the purpose is still the same. To not have to align a target within the Heads Up Display used for analog manual targeting. Instead you can just look at the target with your helmet no matter where it is, heck it can be beneath you under your jet and your helmet can let you see through it for crying out loud lol, and you can lock onto it like that. And in our jets the pilot didn’t even need to do anything but lock onto it. The WSO or “Wizzo” would take it from there so the pilot can get back to flying the jet. This is very handy in high stress quick decision dogfighting.

A guy I shared a class with in college was an Apache pilot. He told me that he will never ever be upset paying his income taxes because the number of helmets that he had gone through was worth more than a life time of taxes. They are so sophisticated even back then, if they are dropped or slammed hard enough, it ruins the calibration. Its that sensitive. Maybe these new generation have improved on it.

This is what separates American war fighters from the rest of the world. We value the lives of our men and women in uniform and will shell out astronomical amount of dollars to ensure their tactical advantage on the battlefield, their safety and also sometimes their comfort. If you go in to a situation with a technological advantage over your enemy and are safe and in moderate comfort, you are more likely to perform at 100% motivation rather than 50% for a country that could care less about their men in arms. This is why we live in the finest nation on Earth. In my humble opinion. 🇺🇲

Night vision goggles alone cost 15 thousand dollars. Precise carbon fibre layers in a helmet shape probably takes around 50k, the precise calibration of the hud is probably at least twenty thousand, and everything is military grade, and has been assured to work no matter what. The cost has also decreased by more than half. If they can stop a nuclear bomb heading towards my city, I would say it’s worth every penny.
