Military history & warfare Videos Recommended on Hacker News (121)

Military history & warfare is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 121 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2008 and 2026 — 234 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Military topics: World War II, Gulf War, air power, navies, submarines, weapons systems, nuclear weapons and testing, tactics, intelligence agencies, defense technology, aviation in war.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Mechanical Computer (All Parts) - Basic Mechanisms In Fire Control Computers: “It illustrates the problems and solutions near perfectly, and I've watched it way too many times.” — an HN commenter, 2018.
