Here is a new video for your viewing pleasure, focusing on Kamikaze in the Pacific during World War 2

  • Did more Kamikaze missions result in more hit and sunk ships?

  • What were the most often striked targets of Kamikaze pilots?

  • What countermeasures existed and how did they reduce the number of attacks?

 The answers to this and more are found in this video. Looking forward to your feedback and thank you for the support!

Didn't you cover this in a video a few years ago?

Oh, nope! It was from the other direction, why the Japanese used kamikazes. This one is how effective they were in total and how the US ships defended against them.

Thanks for the details of just how complicated it was to deter the attacks, as well as the effectiveness of different measures and how the different defenses worked as a whole. Like modern anti-missile measures, I'm amazed at how much ordnance can be thrown into the air before you actually hit the target! I can't imagine what it was like for those gunners on the ships.
