This is the story of the Soviet M25 Hell Rebar

Soviet high command came up with the idea of a new type of weapon, an aircraft that could kill without any munitions at all and leave no contamination to the area where it strikes.

The M25 was to be the first and only aircraft designed to use its Sonic boom to devastate enemy troops in an open terrain battlefield.

But was this the real background of the story? And why did the project never come to life?.

The M25 was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 60s .

It was designed to be able to launch a Sonic boom shockwave that could reach up to six PSI .

It would be extremely difficult to use and dangerous to fly, especially to fly supersonic at such low altitudes.

The Soviets tried to use it as a weapon a bit psychologically in Afghanistan , but we can't say how effective it was.

But if you want to be like the Russians and thinking always ahead, then why don't you come and watch the next video right now on Patreon ? That's right, we have a Patreon . And on that you get to see videos early, suggest future topics, and chat with me directly. Thanks so much for watching..
