Why US Bombers are Gray

[godzillap]

i misread the title as:“why are US bombers gay” and i was confused for a second

[BigKnGa]

Title asks why US bombers are gray.

Shows black B2.

"Stand out against the bright blue sky" there's a spec of dust 5 meters away, don't see it.

[TUD]

first time on the history of this channel that a video isnt completely biased for US

[trangtruong]

US air vehicles colors:
Light grey (or Anti-Radar Detector).
US Military Vehicles colors:
Tan, Green and Grey.

Russian air Vehicles colors:
Light blue, White, Silver or Camouflaged.

[Armada-]

US Air Force in a nutshell: “I work in black, and sometimes, very, very dark gray.”

[forestplayz]

i'm glad that there's a *video that doesn't bias a single country and gives the positives and negatives of each

Fun fact: plane that delivered Tsar Bomb Tu-95B to be exact was fully painted in white colour and after explosion, immense heat and light turned white as Hollywood star teeth back side of plane into average colour of emptiness, and also after explosion plane got 100km/h boost and came from 880km/h to 980km/h

TFW russian aircraft have radar crossections 5x the size of US stealth aircraft but the white paint apparently makes them "harder to detect"

[Groceryrunner]

Fun fact: the Russian bombers needed and still need anti-flash paint to avoid critical damage from their own nukes because unlike in the US they either can’t fly high enough or aren’t fast enough to avoid radiation w

[KJ_YT-and_Jun-oo]

Still rather color gray or black cuz of BATMAN

[Spork-kznu]

US: For not getting detected
Russia: To prevent being shot down once spotted

if you arent invisible digitally

be invisible physically (kinda)

[aufstrigende]

At high altitudes the grey actually blends in with the blue around it causing the camo to look blue from below

The only downside will be the 4 contrails that will be following something seemingly invisible from below

I don't think supersonic bombers are as worried about "heat seeking technology" as they are radar. This was a weird video. I felt like I was listening to an explanation for Dazzle Naval camouflage and how it works. Even though it's been obsolete for 80 years.

I guess will just have to fly in the dark when everyone’s asleep at 2 am 😴

There's a difference between seeing something and shooting something

Black and gray blend in better with a night sky, and military facilities are going to be producing a lot more heat, the better to be seen with infrared detectors. It is the alert-level activity. Also, military targets are going to be using more electronics, creating more intense magnetic fields over a larger area. MRIs produce large magnetic fields but over a limited area/volume, and for limited lengths of time. Military facilities are going to be “HOT” 24/7. During the day, too many things are going to be thermally and electronically “HOT”, but leading to mistakes. That, along with the radio-absorbing coatings.

And this exact reason is why navy dive a regular navy bombers in ww2
Had a blue top so if
They fly low there enemy might miss see them as ocean water and a white belly for the plane when they fly at high altitude

[theninearemine]

No... let me explain. It's because the USSR 2.0 doesn't actually have stealth technology. Except what they have been able to copy from the US. This applies to West Taiwan 🇨🇳 as well.
