    On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
    If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

      I wonder how many of their fleet are actually operable. And don't their pilots only get like an hour a month behind the stick on average? They're so low-hour that they barely know how to fly their aircraft WITHOUT someone trying to kill them. The US could just about go back to using Sabres and still waste the North Koreans because the pilot skill gap is like putting the Arizona Diamondbacks up against a little league team.
      And not a good little league team, either.

    It would be a cool idea to do a similar mission, but do 1 F-22 against a bunch of player-controlled NK aircraft. It may give a better idea as to 1) how effective a single F-22 can be against a larger force, and 2) how a pilot or team on the NK side might try to defeat an F-22. Very cool video nonetheless!

He said the only F-22 that had ever been shot down in and exercise was due to a previously shot down F-15 reengaging the F-22. The F-22's weapons system ignored the F-15 because it had already shot him down. The F-15 was supposed to return to base after being shot down. It was not considered an actual kill.

    • @gamlaman
      @gamlaman Před 5 měsíci +11

      If the F-22 has enough time, an airbase to refuel and reload missiles, and enough Patriot sites and other air defenses to defend that base so it can't be taken out on the ground, then it's not impossible odds. In fact I'd say it would be quite easy. Just take off, climb to 60.000 ft, fly towards North Korean planes, launch 6 AMRAAMs at 15 miles where your AMRAAM can't miss them but also they can't lock you yet, turn around, speed away back to base at 60.000 ft, land, refuel and reload, repeat. Nothing they can put into the air should be able to do anything about it. If they choose to remain on the ground, well, the F-22 can carry precision guided bombs too.

      Because, as you saw, the data-link on the F-22 isn't able to talk to other F-22s to tell them that they're engaging X target and not to stack missiles on that target. And the airframe itself has flaws.
      Next Generation Air Dominance platform is basically the F-22 without the vertical stabilizers (thus further reduction to RCS), is built with future-proofing in mind (eg. the avionics and software don't need to be completely reworked in order to install new stuff, which has been the primary issue with upgrading the F-22 thus far), and including a pilot is optional, meaning maneuvering is no longer restricted to 'what the bag of flesh and blood in the cockpit can remain conscious through/survive'.

    Co-ordinated targeting in large formations of aircraft (aggressors and defenders) is extremely difficult in such fast moving scenarios as can be seen from the Tac-view. Quite a few missiles flew through the MiG-9 formation and 1 MiG became a missile magnet. This might become critical if larger formations are encountered and they employ more thoughtful tactics, ie, multi-heights, multi-directions and staggered waves aswel as jamming and walls of chaff.
