@@Midsix Awww thank you so much for the kind words, you don't realize how much I appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoy my content and can't wait to see what the future holds 😊

@@jamesharding3459 Oh most definitely. You look at any aircraft from the Eastern bloc and the only thing I believe was truly standing in their way was the corrupt governments ruling over them. If you are interested, I'd look up some of the designs coming out of Yugoslavia 🙂

@@phantom_phlyer4 Agreed. The Soviets had some extremely talented engineers, but the system and culture prevented fully exploring their potential and investing in the foundational industries and sectors to realize them. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Korolev was one of the most gifted astronautical engineers of all time, definitely an equal to Goddard.

@@jamesharding3459 Tbh, those names don't sound familiar to me, I'll have to do some research on em

@@phantom_phlyer4 Sergei Korolev was the chief designer of practically every Soviet space project until his death in 1966. An evolution of one of his designs, the Soyuz, is still used today. Robert Goddard was an American rocket scientist during the earliest days of rocketry, and one of the pioneers of rocketry in general. Among other things, he pioneered functional liquid fueled engines and his work would be scaled up with minimal modification in the German V2 (Von Braun was nowhere near as innovative as some people will tell you), and derivations of his engine designs were used in early Soviet designs by Korolev like the R7 and Proton, and would even be the basis of several excellent American designs such as the F1 as used aboard Saturn V. Basically, they are both what the fanboys of Warner Von Braun think he was.

Мистер, у вас явно есть проблемы с головой. Обратитесь к доктору пожалуйста. Ибо такую бредятину, даже тут в пост-СССР, никто и никогда не выдумывал.

@@tigerjacke5028 Thank you so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed!

@@fallschirmjägerZ Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!

That plane is the Ilyushin 102 ground attack prototype jet (also shown later in the video at 0:22 and 1:23 )

@@HeathenFitness Mmmmmm, that's a really good idea for an edit. I'm also excited for the DCS A-1 Skyraider, but it seems Crosstail has gone relatively silent since the teaser. If you haven't already, I would watch the OV-10/F-4 Phantom combo edit on my channel!

@@phantom_phlyer4 will do gonna watch it now

Thanks man, so glad to hear you enjoyed!

Just had to do a little trolling in space 😉

@@MajorFreightTrain Yea, it's extremely sad to have seen her go this year, but she had a long, fulfilling life in South Korea and Japan alike

​@@phantom_phlyer4 Phantom will never fade away

Luckily I hold onto almost all of my footage haha. This is the Su-37 prototype and here is the video link: czcams.com/video/_r5fNEJbfIg/video.htmlsi=F_uknJGIe6UYpyM5

Thanks mate​@@phantom_phlyer4

Maybe it's my American-ism, but I struggled to use her in DCS (using a trial), but I will say she is an absolutely beautiful aircraft esthetically speaking

⁠​⁠@@phantom_phlyer4The CK-37 computer definitely takes getting used to, but once you start to understand how it functions and the limitations of it, it’s remarkably easy to put ordinance on target. Out of curiosity, what was your biggest sticking point on it? I’ve been running the Viggen as my go-to platform for a while now and understand how to get the most out of her, and I would be glad to help you past whatever hurdle you hit.

@@patricksawyer9779 While I don't own the plane (used it for a trial), for me it was the lack of straightforward-ness of operating the different A2G weapon systems that you would find in an American or Russian aircraft as the knobs seemed quite confusing with labeling and there were some other things about it I don't remember, but that was the main one

Thank you so much for the kind words, it's amazing to hear your feedback. When I was deciding what I wanted to do for an edit, this random memory from a few years ago of my friend singing this song immediately made me think of FLIR/Drones/Targeting Pods. As for the ending, it was a clip I found and felt like a good mood lighten-er in comparison to what I originally had in its place haha

One of the best aircraft to dominate the skies haha

Hey, that's perfectly fine. Go ahead and use it, I know yours will still turn out great. Thank you for the kind words!

One could argue that the Fritz X used by Germany in WW2 was the real origin point for precision ordnance, but the Phantom definitely had her hand in making it possible

@@phantom_phlyer4 The idea of precision guided ordnance was really populairised with the phantom tho

@@vukasnerma4126 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!

@@Elvis_Cadillac Hey, I'm glad I was able to motivate you haha, wish you the best of luck o7

Gonna have a hard time with that one, the marines don't fly the f15 lol

The glorious F-15I Ra'am

No

How you have commented 1 day ago

@@LeonXD111 wouldn't you like to know

@@PaveWayMA i think no.

Absolutely man, I'm so glad you took the time to watch this. I'm a huge fan of your efforts in the DCS community! Phly safe man o7

I know, I didn't do that on purpose ngl, but I'm so glad it ended up working out haha

My man's flexing

Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The Phantom hype train's gonna keep going with another video hopefully out this coming Friday with Sunday being the latest :)

@@phantom_phlyer4 keep up the awesome work dude

That's the goal o7

Sorry for the lack of a real answer, but yes and no. It's from the upcoming Meteor album, I just have the file for that little teaser

@@phantom_phlyer4 oh ok banger edit btw

@@phantom_phlyer4when the song is released can you pop it in the video as it’s a nice tune

@@robsmotos9899 Do you mean like the link, information, or make a full version?

@@phantom_phlyer4 just song in the link would love to listen to while flying the phantom

well at least we got the Tornado as a sort of european cousin of the F-111 and F-14. i saw one of them fly a few days ago at ILA2024. kind of crazy to think it's already 50 years old and the 111 is another 10 years older. the amount of time between the aardvark and the invention of flight is about the same as the time between the aardvark and today now.
