Hawker Siddeley Nimrod | The aircraft that stood up to both the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A.

We are investigating the Nimrod, one of Britain's last stand-offs against the dominance of the U.S. aviation industry. #nimrod #maritimepatrol #royalairforce #militaryaviation Why did the U.K. prefer a Comet-based maritime patrol aircraft to replace the Avro Shackleton? What were the features of the Nimrod? What were its variants? Why could the Nimrod not compete with the U.S. aviation industry? 00:00 Introduction 01:04 Programme history 03:23 Design 05:36 Specifications (Nimrod MR1) 06:54 Nimrod R1 07:29 Nimrod MR2 10:22 Nimrod AEW3 12:31 Nimrod MRA4 13:55 Operational history Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends focuses on older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyses, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical background, what happened during the development process, combat experience, and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let's investigate the veteran weapons of the past together. © Royal Air Force, Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom, BBC, British Movietone, NATO, Royal Navy, Classic Media Group, BAE Systems, ITN, Best Film & Video Corporation, Stanley Hitchcock Films, British Airways, PeriscopeFilm, U.S. Air Force, Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, U.S. Department of Defense, Alex Tim, imineo, British Pathé, Lockheed Martin, Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Saudi Air Force, French Air and Space Force, ABC, City TV, AP Archive, U.S. Navy Music: Royal Air Force March Please click the link to watch our other Weapon Legends videos    • Weapon Legends   Please click the link to watch our other British Systems videos    • British Systems   Please click the link to watch our other Weapon Legends-Air videos videos   • Weapon Legends-Air     / weapondetective     / weapondetective   weapondetective@gmail.com
