  • It's January 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, and a USAF pilot is in trouble. An Iraqi MiG has locked onto his plane and is preparing to take him down. The next decision he makes will have to be perfect - or it could be his last.

      I agree, their governments actions led to this but at the end of the day, they were both pilots doing their duties. The Iraqi pilot doing his best with what he had, and the US pilot with loads of training behind him just coming into action. Both being fighter pilots, they both probably had a lot in common, war is messy.

With a fox 3, like the aim-120, when the missle goes pitbull it has the chance of getting confused and will lock onto the target in front of it at the time. With a FOX 1 the wingman could keep an STT lock all the way to target.

    Imagine this: you’re a fighter pilot who’s been training for years. Suddenly, two USAF pilots pull up on you, immediately locked on. You pull some hard turns. Very hard. 7-8Gs. The blood in your body weighs so much that you’re struggling to even figure out where you are and what’s going on. You dive to prevent missile fire. You try to pull up before you hit the ground, pulling over 10gs since the only way to turn that fast is to activate afterburners. You lose consciousness. You die.

Rest in peace to the million Iraqi people who died in the aftermath power vacuum this war has caused.

    The second MiG pilot was already dead the moment he ended up in a 2 on 1 situation, the fact that he attempted to perform such a dangerous maneuver shows the desperation of the pilot to evade the F-15s, and honestly hats off to him for trying, you need some serious balls to be trying air show like maneuvers in combat, cause no flares or jinking would had saved him from that situation. I see a lot of people mocking the pilot, I see a lot of people actually treating the pilot with respect, I can't say anything but how joking around about the enemy like that just shows how much we've dehumanized them, it's just childish.

      There was an Egyptian MiG-21 pilot who attempted a Split-S at only 3,000 fight in a desperate bid to evade a pursuing Israeli Mirage III. According to the Israeli pilot, the MiG-21 threw up an enormous plume of sand/dust as it neared the ground and, for a moment, the Israeli lost sight of the aircraft (thinking perhaps it had struck the ground). Amazingly, the MiG emerged from its enormous cloud of sand and, pulling through the maneuver with bare feet (if not mere inches) to spare it rocketed skyward. Unfortunately for the Egyptian MiG, the Israeli had anticipated his position and positioned his own aircraft for a shot as the MiG lost energy near the top of its maneuver. As far as the Split-S maneuver was concerned, perhaps the Egyptian MiG-21 pilot had succeeded where the Iraqi MiG-29 pilot failed. It's not fully apparent that the MiG-29 pilot was trying to pull a Split-S, however, he could have just as easily been suffering threat fixation and been overly focused on what was on his six as opposed to the altitude left under his aircraft.

    You may laugh, but with the simulator Falcon 4.0, I found out you can't 'power through' a situation where you are headed to the ground. I initiated a split-S at only 5,000 ft AGL, and tried to use afterburners to pull out of the dive. I hit the ground. Later I found in that situation if I reduce the power it's much easier to pull up.

    To be honest russian jets are no match to american jets, basically due to better missiles and durability...russians arent bad at engeneering, its just they had relatively poor economy to fund R&D and they havent moved on from ww2, and 60s where manuerability was prioritized ...long range rador and long range missiles completely shifted the balance towards west...russians cant catch up unless they improove their economy to be any where near.

      Nevermind the fact since the cold war their soviet doctrine relied on speed and maneuver ability (hence why BMPs, BTRs and MT LBs are a thing in the first place, able to carry groups easily from point A to point B)
      While they seem like they had the upper hand in the early parts of the war. NATO would catch up (like when USA made the M1 Abrams and Germany made the Leopard which have proven to be very effective against T-72s and T-80s)

    To be honest, dogfighting has changed so much since the invention of aircraft. In the first war it was about speed and aerobatics, in the second great war it was speed, aerobatics, and firepower. Then jets came along and now its through greatly precise maneuvers and technology that assists the pilot. From training that took only around 3 to 6 months, now to I believe 7 or 8 years.

      speed, aerobatics, and turning have always been the basics of dogfighting. dogfighting, or "basic" fighter maneuvers center around getting your nose on the enemy and taking them out. that hasn't changed. now, however, we primarily use missiles instead of guns and the pace is multiplied significantly as well as the ability to perform maneuvers such as going vertical, which simply were not feasible in the era of props. also, training does not take 7 to 8 years. you need to be an officer, which requires going to college for, so 4 years i guess, and then about 18 months of training including ots or ocs, depending on the branch and which can also be replaced with rotc or going to the navy or air force academy, which will be during your 4 years of college. nowhere near 7 to 8 years. i have no clue where you got that from. that's the length of 2 contracts.

    • @williamzhu9160
      @williamzhu9160 Před 2 lety +2

      @@Dr.Kay_R just... no. that's not how it works. just as it was shown in this video, there are ways to get around radar or infrared locks in dogfights. the whole premise of dogfights are that you have to get nose on and a radar or infrared lock. those are impossible in a slower turning aircraft or when the two aircraft are too close to each other. missiles can move in the general direction of the target aircraft's heat source or radar signature, depending on the missile. however, air-to-air missiles travel at speeds about mach 3, so it can only adjust itself onto the target aircraft so much. if the two aircraft are too close to each other, a fired missile will not have time to track onto and follow the enemy aircraft.
