1:05
Now, let’s see who would win, godzilla or the F-35.
1:09
In one corner we have the legendary kaiju herself- Godzilla.
1:13
Terror of Tokyo, Godzilla is the most formidable enemy mankind has ever encountered, and all
1:18
but impervious to the military weapons of the Cold War.
1:22
In the other corner we have one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world, an aerial
1:27
predator who's domination of the skies is matched only by its bigger brother the F-22
1:32
Raptor.
1:33
Packing tens of millions of dollars of stealth technology and sensors, the F-35 is one of
1:38
the deadliest aircraft ever developed.
1:40
The rules are simple: we will be pitting Godzilla up against a squadron of F-35s, loaded to
1:46
bear with all the munitions they can realistically carry today, and decide a winner.
1:51
Welcome to another episode of The Infographic's Show's Who Would Win series- Godzilla or the
1:56
F-35?!
1:58
Godzilla is believed to be an ancient predator from the age of the dinosaurs, with a lifespan
2:02
of millions of years.
2:03
Able to hibernate for tens of thousands of years at a time, Godzilla awakens only infrequently
2:08
to feed, and with most large animal life gone from the surface of the earth, it's postulated
2:13
that Godzilla has remained in the deepest reaches of the ocean where it can feed on
2:17
creatures such as sperm whales and giant and colossal squid.
2:21
In the early 1950s Godzilla was accidentally awakened by a hydrogen bomb test by the Americans,
2:27
and in retaliation arose from its slumber to reap destruction across the first nation
2:32
it came across: the Japanese islands.
2:34
The F-35 has its origins with 1992's Joint Strike Fighter program, a program designed
2:41
to build a single fighter plane that could replace all the various different jets in
2:45
use across the US military and each of its branches.
2:48
Special variants would fill certain niches as needed, niches that were for decades being
2:53
filled by aircraft of different makes and models.
2:55
It was believed that by using a single jet with multiple variants, technology could be
3:00
streamlined and costs could be cut.
3:02
Unlike the Air Force's F-22 Raptor, indisputably the most advanced aircraft on earth, the F-35
3:08
would also be available for international export to US allies and partners.
3:12
With huge cost overruns and a 7 year delay, the F-35 is only now achieving operational
3:18
readiness status, but has already proven to be worth the wait.
3:22
So who would win in a matchup between one of the most advanced fighters in the world
3:26
and Godzilla?
3:27
First, let's look to see what each brings to the table in terms of offense and defense.
3:32
Godzilla brings many things to the table that make her a formidable enemy.
3:36
First and foremost is her sheer bulk, at 164,000 tons she is anywhere from 150 to 1.500 times
3:43
the theoretical weight limit for land animals- a limit that depends on the ability for an
3:48
animal's bones to withstand the sheer weight of its body and thus keep from crushing itself.
3:53
This means that not only is Godzilla big, nearly the weight of two US Ford Class aircraft
3:58
carriers, but that her bones are much stronger than normal, and it's believed that Godzilla's
4:03
skeleton is suffused with heavy minerals and metallic elements.
4:07
This theory would help explain Godzilla's signature weapon- her atomic breath.
4:11
While not truly atomic as it has no radioactive qualities, her breath does have many electromagnetic
4:17
qualities and is known to disable electronics it doesn't immediately incinerate.
4:21
It's believed that Godzilla is able to store kinetic energy as potential energy in her
4:25
body with the help of her metallic skeleton and then release it when it has reached an
4:30
appropriate level, converting it via some unknown process into an electric ray of such
4:35
intensity that it burns at around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1093 Celsius), or 4,000 degrees
4:40
shy of the surface of the sun.
4:42
The fact that the spines along Godzilla's back are seen to glow with energy prior to
4:46
the discharge of her atomic breath gives the metallic skeleton theory a lot of credence.
4:51
Aside from her atomic breath though Godzilla is highly resistant to damage from conventional
4:56
weapons, and all but invulnerable to conventional explosives.
5:00
The only weapons ever shown to wound Godzilla was an American-made Massive Ordnance Penetrator
5:05
bomb, dropped onto her back by a B-2 stealth bomber.
5:08
The MOP, or 'bunker buster' as it is known in the US military is a precision guided,
5:14
30,000 pound explosive developed after the 2003 US invasion of Iraq showed that previous
5:19
generation bunker buster bombs achieved poor penetration and inadequate levels of destruction.
5:25
The weapon was effective in wounding Godzilla and subsequent attacks forced her to temporarily
5:30
retreat.
5:31
The F-35 brings some impressive capabilities to any fight.
5:34
A stealth fighter, the F-35 is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing the jet to fly
5:39
a variety of missions.
5:41
In one configuration the F-35 may be assigned to achieve air superiority, something it accomplishes
5:46
with ease thanks to its stealth and ability to track, target, and destroy targets from
5:51
Beyond Visual Range, with missiles enroute to a target before that target even knows
5:56
it's been fired on.
5:57
With its ability to fuse together sensor data from other friendly planes and drones in the
6:01
area, the F-35 can also fill a support role, identifying targets while remaining invisible
6:07
and guiding weapons fired by other friendly, non-stealth jets to their targets.
6:12
Lastly, the F-35 can also be tasked in an electronic warfare role, using its superior
6:17
radar and sensors to jam enemy communications and radar, or eavesdropping on enemy electronic
6:22
emissions to locate hostile stealth aircraft or for surveillance/espionage missions.
6:28
In stealth mode the F-35 can carry four AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, or two AMRAAMs
6:35
with two 2,000 lb JDAM ground attack munitions.
6:38
In beast mode the F-35 can sacrifice stealth for sheer firepower, carrying 14 AMRAAMs and
6:44
two shorter range Sidewinders for air superiority, or in ground attack mode it can carry two
6:49
AMRAAMS, two Sidewinders, and six 2,000 pound JDAMS.
6:54
Operating in flights of 4 aircraft making up a squadron of 22 total, F-35s work as a
6:59
team to achieve air or ground dominance.
7:02
So, on to the fight.
7:03
What started out as a normal day in Sunny Southern California turns tragic when Godzilla,
7:09
awakened from her slumber by deep-sea submarine tests by the US Navy, roars her way out of
7:14
the Pacific ocean.
7:15
In minutes she's laid waste to the famous Santa Monica pier, and leaving the smoking
7:20
ruins behind she sets her eyes on Los Angeles- with two Godzilla films in production right
7:25
now in Hollywood, Godzilla is coming for an audition, and she has one hell of a compelling
7:30
argument to make for why she should get the role: a 2,000 degree atomic breath.
7:35
Meanwhile US President Donald Trump's national security adviser rushes to a Florida golf
7:39
course, letting the President know that California is under attack- no, not by immigrants from
7:44
south of the border but by a prehistoric lizard the size of a skyscraper.
7:48
Thinking about it for a few moments, the President reluctantly agrees to alert the Air Force
7:52
to defend California.
7:54
In Andrews Air Force Base out in the California desert, aircraft on alert against a surprise
7:58
attack against the west coast of the United States are immediately spun up- but it'll
8:03
take time to outfit an entire squadron of F-35s into ground-attack configuration.
8:08
Godzilla meanwhile has wrecked her way to Rodeo Drive, where she stops for a moment
8:12
to enjoy the sights and attractions of some of the world's most expensive and luxurious
8:16
shopping stores- right before she incinerates them all to ash.
8:20
West Hollywood hipsters flee in terror, their precious 100% organic fruit smoothie bars
8:25
and yoga studios in flames.
8:27
In the horizon though is the distinctive roar of American airborne firepower, a challenge
8:32
to the rampaging lizard that grows louder as the jets approach.
8:36
Burning their afterburners the jets come screaming into Los Angeles at a speed of 1,200 mph (1930
8:41
km/h), and have made the journey from the desert to LA in minutes.
8:45
With their powerful sensors locating Godzilla is no problem, at 164,000 tons her body heat
8:51
registers like a giant red plume against the city backdrop.
8:54
Yet their heat-tracking air-to-air AMRAAM missiles are of little use in this fight as
8:58
they are designed to destroy enemy jets and thus contain only 50 pounds (22.7 kg) of explosives.
9:03
Instead the F-35s link up with military satellites and program a course for their 2,000 pound
9:08
JDAMs.
9:09
With a maximum range of 15 miles (28 km) and an accuracy of 7 meters, the first Flight
9:14
of F-35s probes Godzilla's defenses and loose a volley of one JDAM each at maximum range.
9:20
The 2,000 pound bombs are released from their external mounts and deploy small wings to
9:25
help them guide themselves to their target with the help of overhead satellites.
9:29
In less than a minute the first volley of JDAMs smash into Godzilla.
9:33
The first Flight of F-35s continues on their bearing straight at Godzilla in order to visually
9:38
inspect the effectiveness of their weapons.
9:40
As they get within visual distance of the monster, the pilots are stunned to discover
9:44
that the high explosives have had little effect on her tough hide, aside from some small cuts
9:49
and other wounds.
9:50
Within just a mile of her now, Godzilla rears back as electricity bursts along her dorsal
9:55
spines, and a moment later opens her mouth wide, emitting a white-hot beam of electromagnetic
10:00
energy.
10:01
The beam cuts a swathe across the sky, immediately incinerating two of the jets, with the other
10:06
two barely managing to pull clear of the surprise attack.
10:09
Though the jets' electronics are hardened against electromagnetic radiation so they
10:13
can remain operational in the vicinity of a nuclear attack, the massive discharge of
10:18
EM radiation so near to each has fried several of their sensors, leaving them in effect blinded.
10:24
The two survivors are forced to disengage and limp home.
10:27
Godzilla still stands, while four of the 22 F-35s have been destroyed or disabled.
10:33
With reports of the ineffectiveness of their JDAMS, the squadron is ordered to attack Godzilla
10:38
in a pincer attack, hoping that her flanks or backside will prove more vulnerable to
10:42
the weapons.
10:43
Flights 2 and 3 are ordered to attack from Godzilla's three and nine o'clock, while Flights
10:47
four and five will attack from her twelve and six o clock.
10:49
The pilots hope that their weapons might thus find some weak spots on Godzilla's tough hide.
10:54
Firing from maximum range again, the jets let loose with another volley of JDAMS, and
10:59
Flight 2 is ordered to proceed to visual range to ascertain effectiveness but stay well out
11:04
of range of her atomic breath weapon.
11:06
A minute later, West Hollywood is racked by a series of explosions as 2,000 pound JDAMS
11:12
smash against Godzilla from all sides.
11:13
A terrifying roar is heard but dust and debris obscure a clear view of the beast.
11:18
A single F-35 from Flight 2 breaks off and lights up its afterburners to make a high
11:23
speed pass in hopes of making visual contact- but that's a mistake.
11:27
Godzilla's adaptations to her deep-sea environment have made her uniquely sensitive to electromagnetic
11:32
energy, something that like many deep-sea animals helps her hunt in the pitch black
11:37
of the deepest ocean depths.
11:39
As the F-35 approaches its powerful radar washes over Godzilla, and like a modern anti-radiation
11:45
missile carried by many fighter jets, gives her a perfect target to aim at.
11:49
From the cloud of smoke a beam of white-hot electric energy leaps into the sky, turning
11:53
the F-35 into supersonic wreckage.
11:57
Second later, the triumphant kaiju steps out of her dust cloud, having cleverly used the
12:01
cover to plan an ambush against her aerial tormentors.
12:04
Godzilla is not only big and mean, but smart too.
12:07
The other F-35s report the ineffectiveness of their JDAMS against Godzilla's tough hide,
12:12
and briefly consider making attack runs with their 25mm Gatling cannons.
12:16
But the gunpods only carry enough ammunition for a three to four second burst, and are
12:20
only meant to be used in a ground-attack mode or as a last resort.
12:24
Plus with Godzilla's devastating atomic breath, they'd be easy targets if trying to make close-range
12:29
passes with their guns.
12:31
Ultimately the jets are ordered to loose their remaining JDAMS against the monster, but each
12:35
successive wave of explosions leaves Godzilla almost unscathed- and angrier.
12:40
She smashes a locally-sourced organic coffee shop as dozens of Angelenos weep.
12:46
Their weapons spent, the F-35s are ordered to return to base.
12:49
In the end, their 2,000 pound JDAMS are perfectly suited for taking out groups of enemy armor,
12:54
small buildings, and defensive positions- but against the massive beast are barely more
12:59
than firecrackers.
13:00
Back in the Florida golf course, President Trump is delighted to hear about California's
13:04
on-going destruction, and happily orders the Air Force to use nukes instead- the more the
13:09
better.
13:10
Over the phone the Air Force liaison reminds the President that there's one weapon left
13:13
to try first- the 30,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator, specifically built to penetrate
13:19
deep into the most hardened underground facilities.
13:22
Reluctantly the President agrees.
13:24
For the F-35s there's only one problem- none of them can carry the massive weapon, only
13:29
American B-52s and B-2 stealth bombers can deliver the big bomb.
13:33
For the second most advanced fighter jet in the world, the fight is over, having suffered
13:37
three casualties and two other planes disabled.
13:40
Godzilla is the clear winner.
13:42
The F-35s may dominate air and ground against man-made threats, but against the massive
13:47
kaiju there's simply little they can do.
13:50
With a final roar of defiance against the retreating jets, Godzilla turns her attention
13:54
back to destroying a Whole Foods and roasting hundreds of tons of their overpriced organic
13:59
produce.
