Why the US Navy WEAPONIZES an Empty Helicopter to Annihilate Swarms

Imagine dozens of suicide speedboats rushing a $13 billion aircraft carrier at once. In this deadly scenario, the ship's massive guns are too cumbersome, and traditional torpedoes are too expensive and slow. The fleet needs a solution that is cheap but precise. Enter the MH-60S Sierra. Navy strategists looked at the helicopter's massive empty belly, originally gutted for cargo, and saw wasted potential. They asked: "How much of this empty volume can we convert into lethality modules?". To answer this, the Sierra was surgically altered with "Batwings" to turn the cargo bay into a weapons rack. By taking "dumb" 2.75-inch Hydra rockets from the Vietnam era and giving them a brain with a laser guidance seeker, the Navy created the APKWS—a cost revolution that turns a cheap rocket into a "Sniper Missile". Backed by GAU-21 .50 caliber heavy machine guns firing 1,100 rounds per minute , this once-empty helicopter becomes the ultimate swarm annihilator, proving the absolute system dominance of the US Navy. #USNavy #AircraftCarrier #NavyDecoded #NavalEngineering #CVN79 #SeaTrials Timestamps: 0:00 The Silence of the Void & Deadliest Submarine Threats 2:20 Splitting the MH-60 Seahawk's Soul 4:39 MH-60R Romeo: Hunting Silent Submarines 7:29 MH-60S Sierra: Nuclear Carrier Logistics & VERTREP 9:50 Weaponizing the Void Against Swarm Attacks 12:35 Asset Preservation & Carrier Inertia 14:54 System Dominance of a Carrier Strike Group
