AN ABSOLUTELY stunning video
I never knew it was so complicated.
I kind of got the gist of it when he started talking about ”anybody stupid enough to screw around with their borders”… Oookay… These borders he talks about were screwed with pretty regularly, during the cold war.
Anyway, he tried.
His channel is more about the nerdy circuitry stuff than the nerdy aeroplane stuff… I did still appreciate the video, and also his video on the F-14 CADC which gave a nice overview of how that was achieved when microprocessors were only just emerging on the market.
When I was young I just assumed adding capability to a jet would be as simple as reprogramming it… that’s true nowadays maybe but back then I simply didn’t understand how limited and therefore dedicated the hardware and code was. It’s a testament to SAAB that they achieved what they did!
