I'm starting to gather a list of decent YouTube channels relating to military history (particularly vehicles, but anything works) and more input would be nice. So far I've got in no particular order
-Greg's airplanes and automobiles
-Paper skies
-Drachinifel
-Skynea history
-Red effect
-The chieftain
-Military history visualized (and not visualized)
-Military aviation history (formerly b1smarck70)
-Not a pound for air to ground
-The operations room
-Perun
The list is a bit all over the place and some lean towards dry info while others lean towards entertainment value over info density, but I'd consider all of them above lazernig. Again I'd like more channels to put on this list if you can think of any.

Perun is one of the few pro Ukraine sources that has evidence posted and for an Aussie even if I disagree with his findings I know there's a lot of validity in what he's saying.
@Falcos_Commisar what I was saying does anyone think here that spaghetti kozac is Worthy of being in prospering grounds or not.

hypohystericalhistory is really good he did an 8 hour two parter on the Falkland Island's war that was really good, and he has a bunch of multi-hour long documentaries on various military topics.
Schwerpunkt does pre-industrial revolution military history and is very good but extremely dry.
Edit: I somehow missed this question but:

Anyway, I asked this in pophistory to no avail but I'm pretty sure we've talked about this series here and we have a high concentration of planefags. An actual good Australian military historian has been covering the Falklands War in depth. Highly recommend. But one of the things that keeps coming up is that while striking the Royal Navy, the Argentine AF had to make border line mast height bombing runs. Under the minimum arming altitude of their 1000 pounders, so a ton of great flying got negated by their hits being reduced to dropping a big rock on the ship. This went on for multiple days and sorties but they kept doing it and losing pilots on the return. They had to know what was happening. Was there not a way to fit a time fuze or disarm the safety on a Mk.83? The Argentine Navy had more bang for the buck because their strikes were with 500 lb Mk.82s fitted with the Snakeeye retardation kit. Could they not grab the Mk.82s from the Navy after they were proven to actually detonate? Both were flying A-4s, just different variants.

Honestly if I were to speculate the Argies had poor post-battle analysis in general through out the war so it could be the higher-ups didn't know about the 1000 pound bomb failures and didn't issue the order to convert them.

One I'll throw in is Rex's Hangar. A Australian that is absolutely autistic about aircraft. I love this man. Mostly ww1 to ww2 but there's some cold war in there (he has a lot to go thru lol). What I love is he does vague or known but little talked about planes.

Greg is fucking awesome.

I really liked his one video that showed how an F6F would eat the lunch of nearly everything in the Luftwaffe based on performance alone

Greg is great. The B-32 Dominator one is pretty cool too, and really is the only other video I can think of that touches the mirror of the B-29. Personally want a model kit or statue of it tbh.

I'll continue to shill Unauthorized History of the Pacific. Former chief historian of the National WWII Museum and a former sub skipper diving into pretty much everything PTO related. You just gotta ignore Bill sometimes when he starts applying his Naval Academy Grad logic where it doesn't belong (Saipan in particular) Edit: Though tbf a lot of recent history written on Saipan has over corrected and become a bit of a 'Holland Smith was the actual devil' circle jerk)

I would also include Ed Nash’s Military Matters. His channel is like Mark Felton Productions but much less stuffy. He talks mostly about aircraft but also about current conflict news.


I would also add War Nerd Radio podcast. Co-hosted by John Dolan (better known as Gary Brecher AKA The War Nerd) and Mark Ames. Gary Brecher's column for the old eXiled newspaper were some of the best articles ever written about warfare and he has a huge hate-boner for Tom Clancy and Victor Hanson.

Don't forget SubBrief. Former sub sonar operator, made a lot of vids on cold war subs and other boats, though he's also doing a few vids on more timely matters.

I'm a third into this monster at work btw. His descriptions of how these 1000 pounders crashed through the ships like cannon balls, and how the crews had to delicately defuse them, made me feel like I was there. As usual. He's a cut above the rest.

I also find it cool that the argies WELDED th MM 38 ship mounted Exocets onto trailers to actually fire them. That is a blue collar idea if I've ever seen one.

You think Little Piggy will ever learn that Ukrainian political interference is just as bad, if not worse than Russia's?

Ahaha very interesting. Piggy is now second guessing Saint Zelensky's pick to lead the Ukrainian military.... Not very NAFO-fella of him now is it?

Also LMAO that the guy that lost Soledar and Bakhmut got rewarded for his failure with a promotion. Ukraine gonna Ukraine it seems.

I am legitimately shocked that Kyrylo "Terror Campaigns are my main Game" Budanov didn't get installed as the UAF head.... Hmmmm indeed.

😂
