THE WAR COLLECTION VOLUME 3: MODERN AIRSTRIKE

"Airstrike Volume 1 - Air to Ground Combat

Sophisticated computer technology allowed the Allied air force during the 1991 Gulf War to perform daredevil attacks with pinpoint accuracy. This volume shows how these were achieved, giving details of the tactical initiatives used by the modern pilot.

Find out how the Stealth bomber dodges radar detection and what system allows the Tornado to gain deep penetration behind enemy lines flying at the “height of the camel’s eye.”

Extensive footage shows precision bombing techniques and the devastation caused by state-of-the-art missiles such as the high speed anti-radar missile (HARM). Also witness the last seconds of an Italian Tornado before it is destroyed by a ground missile.

Including footage of: F117 A STEALTH BOMBER (NIGHTHAWK); B-1B LANCER; EC-130 E (NIGHTMARE-MAKER); RC-135U (COMBAT SCENT); EF-111 (RAVEN); ISRAELI F-16D & A-4; US F-16; F-4G; TORNADO ECR; A-10 THUNDERBOLT; GUA8 AVENGER; FA-18; AND A PLETHORA OF MISSILE SYSTEMS.

Airstrike Volume 2 - Air to Air Combat

In the nuclear age, an entire city can be destroyed by a single missile fired by a single plane. Intercepting enemy attacks through rapid pre-emptive strikes is crucial for any successful air mission.

This volume tackles the complexities of the armed systems used by today’s air defence organisations and the modern pilot. Footage of high speed dogfights and close combat action from the original Top Gun Fighter Weapons School shows a powerful but heavy US Navy Tomcat duelling with the smaller and more agile F-16 for supremacy in the sky.

In-depth interviews with pilots around the globe give an insight to their training, the tactics used to dodge a hit and what scares them most about dogfights and modern weaponry.

Find out how thrust vectoring can make a fighter weave in a dogfight and why the advanced medium range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) is know as the “fire and forget.” System.

WITNESS ALL THESE PLANES IN ACTION; F-14 TOMCAT; ADV TORNADO; SAAB AJ-37 VIGGEON; F-104 STARFIGHTER AND F-104S SUPERFIGHTER; F-4 PHANTOM; F-15; YF-22; F-22 RAPIER; F-16; SAAB JAS 39 GRIPEN; MIRAGE 2000-5; ISRAELI F-15 EAGLE; MiG-29 AND DETAILS OF THE LATEST MISSILE SYSTEMS.

Airstrike Volume 3 - Missile & Chopper Attack

The Gulf War illustrated the lethal effectiveness of attack helicopters in modern warfare. Dubbed the ‘Air Cavalry”, the sinister shark-like frames of the Apache, Tigre and Rooivalk gunships are now familiar images on the frontline and have superseded the tank as the ground forces star weapon.

Manoeuvrability is the key to the helicopters deadly efficiency and this volume shows footage of the stunts the pilots can now perform. Film of the German Tigre, rival to the US AH-64 Apache, shows how it can move like no other, pulling off a spectacular 360 degree somersault. Also follow a Lynx and Gazelle into battle releasing their full payload of Hellfire and Hydra missiles.

Information can win or lose a war and this volume focuses on the unsung heroes behind the scenes such as the mighty AWACs and Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. These are the planes that jam and monitor enemy communications and hunt the real Red October submarines.
