  • We simulate a ficticious US President Biden trip in Air Force One to Ukraine and ask whether Russian rogue forces could have intercepted them before they landed at Dniptro. US defend with F-22 Raptor and F-15EX, while Russia attacks with Su-57 Felon, Su-35 and Mig-31 and the legendary R-37M long range missile.

    You should do a follow-up version of the scenario, where government Russian Air forces are dispatched to stop the rogue general's attempt to shoot down Air Force 1. You could have Russians, versus Russians, and if you really wanted to throw a wrench in, the Americans would still be there and not know which Russians to shoot.

  • @P_Mann
    @P_Mann Před rokem +112

    Like the carrier scenarios, this situation is much more complex IRL. There are several Air Force One aircraft that operate as decoys flying on very different vectors, and each has a beastly ECM/ESM/countermeasures suite. Additionally, some F22/F35 would likely arrive in the airspace long before the main group enters the zone, ready to shoot any likely aggressors as soon as they’re wheels-up. Also: other military and civilian A/C in the area that have no idea what’s going on around them.

    • @gregtims7627
      @gregtims7627 Před rokem

      Agreed, AF1 is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the USAF. We probably know more about the F22 and the F35 than we will ever know about AF1. Honestly the DCS mod is only a Boeing 747 with the AF1 skin.

    • @Power5
      @Power5 Před rokem

      USA is not firing on Russian air craft taking off from russian bases in russian air space. This is a not a movie. They would absolutely not strike first unless they somehow got confirmed radio comms stating that the planes taking off from that airport were on their way to intercept and neutralize AF1. But IF they got confirmed intel that fighters were taking off from 500 miles ahead of AF1, it would do an immediate 180 and land at the nearest allied base, it would not continue flying. Then they would likely have a couple F-22 loiter at the border and turn back any jets trying to catch AF1.

      And the moment they picked up an aircraft heading toward AF-1, it would turn around and fly the other way, not continue on to certain death. The only chance they would have is a pop up attack by the Felon ,otherwise they'd never get within 300 miles.

  • @Matterian
    @Matterian Před rokem +210

    Kinda shocked that you didn't include any F-35s seeing as that seems to be the most popular plane these days. The only problem I have is that Air Force 1 has major defense packages that are top secret but this one did nothing to evade or use it's defense suite

    SuperCap did make a note that Air Force One in real life might have an EW suite which, given the important passengers would almost certainly be the case if not from a nearby AWACS or even the escorts. Also I am suspicious how good those ax heads performed here given the real life performance in the war seems to be...less than Russian claims to put it kindly. Still better to overestimate than underestimate though.

      The R-37M's fired in the Russo-Ukraine war are usually fired at or near maximum ranges against maneuvering low-flying targets (Fighters/CAS bombers etc.). With those circumstances in mind, the PK should be fairly low. It is not like other missiles would fair any better to be quite honest, including the AIM-120D and AIM-260.

    Your first major issue is thinking AF1 is a regular 747 as illustrated in this scene. no moving actions for its suite of def measures. it is not easy and can jam missiles but also planes from seeking it regularly. your 2nd issue was thinking AF1 could not see you before you can see it and lock on to it. what is so funny is in the scene you guys have the raptors flying with biden and then moving out. in reality the f-22 and or f-35 would be out before biden to sweep the area. no airplanes will be allowed in the sky. lastly the plane with the jet would take the missile hit or drop its flares to mess up the missile. we saw none of that as it probably is hard to program that into a simulation. there is a point in 2 regulars staying with the plane as those two jets would be able to push out flares and if need be. use their plane to save AF1. duty above life is absent in this video.

    • @juanisosa22
      @juanisosa22 Před rokem

      The scenarios that this channel runs never really follow realistic or sensible tactics. Doing a large fighter sweep plus EW assets would make this boring and never allow the attackers anywhere close. They are having fun and nobody should take these "tests" as reflecting anything close to real performance.

    • @Power5
      @Power5 Před rokem

      Please let them know the complete specs of the EW and countermeasures suite on AF1 so they can model them. We will wait for that. F-22 may do a sweep ahead of time for sure, but they are not going to enter russian airspace and will not strike first. If they see fighters taking off from russian airbases on a vector towards AF1's flight path, they would radio to AF1 and it would immediately turn around. Such a fun video to watch some planes flying a few hundred miles and turning around to fly back.
      Your last mention about duty above life was 100% in this video. Unfortunately because this was an entertainment video and AF1 continued into hostile airspace, the hostiles had launched 4 missiles at AF1. Damp was able to sacrifice himself but 4 missiles against 3 planes will not end well for the 3 planes. That is what happened.

      We most likely had satellites monitoring every airport within range of the flight path of AF1. If they saw any fighters scrambling, they would have turned AF1 around immediately. The escort planes are more of a show of force, not intended to be needed to repel an attack. In this scenario, russia would have needed to sneak some mobile SAMs into allied territory and waited till AF1 flew over.

    Just the company of US fighter jets would create a very interesting situation. All else said, i suspect real Airforce One has some tricks up it's sleeve. The ingame version certainly has less bits and pieces on the top.
    Including a real pilot that can react to things. That would be interesting to build in, if it were possible with a 747. Maybe a replacement? Also a 747 is very heavy but it also has some power, so it would be interesting to see what it could or would do in such a situation.

      The beauty of most runways is that they're flat. I get what you mean but it's a balance of software settings to filter, and radar power to pick everything up. There's a sweet spot where it works well. But if you don't have it in that sweet spot stuff will get filtered by the software. The closer you are to the terrain the more likely it is that software will filter you out as part of the terrain. In the case of stronger radars, it has the potential to work against the software by overwhelming it

    4 to 6 Chinese fighter aircraft threaten to shoot down a Korean Air 747 flight, over the Bering Sea Straight, containing a former MSS agent defecting to the U.S. if it doesn’t turn back around and land. In response to the crisis, 2 American fighters are scrambled to intercept the Chinese fighters and neutralize (or deter) them before they shoot down the civilian airliner.
    I would like to see all of you act out this scenario with all human pilots. The mission of the people Role-playing as Chinese to prevent the 747 from landing in the US by any means necessary (however don't immediately shoot it down). The objective of the 2 people role-playing as American pilots is to stop the Chinese shooting down the airliner by any means possible. I think the match up should be between the F-22 and the J-16 or Su-35
