    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.

      Wondering if the mig 25 having the weaker airframe of the mig 31 is speed limited at lower altitude in DCS like the real jet. They both both seem to have the same 2.8 Mach limit as the engines burn up if pushed higher than that. Can they get that fast in DCS?

      Agreed. It looked like the back fins of that missile scraped a new scratch into the paint.

    • @LW0001
      @LW0001 Před 8 měsíci +21

      My interpretation is this: RWR is sounding at the time, therefore it was pinging the aircraft before impact. It’s aiming for center of mass, and the closer it gets, the less it’s trying to lead that center of mass. But GS turning into it at the last possible moment tilts that center of mass parallel with the missile while it’s pretty much already alongside; essentially, from the missile’s POV, the centre of mass it should be aiming for suddenly becomes the nosecone it effectively already missed. Therefore, it misses by a hair’s breadth, since it obviously can’t turn 90 degrees in midair. Had he made that turn a split-second earlier or later, I’m sure he would’ve been reduced to atoms.
      TL;DR: Imo the miss is not because the missile can’t see him (it evidently is seeing him), the reason for the miss was a last-ditch acrobatic manoeuvre that just about worked.

      @@JesusFriedChrist Most of the reports suggesting that the development has been halted due to budget and shortage of Solid state Electronics required to make the missile smaller. The main reason is the seeker Agat 9B-1388. You have to understand, unlike medium range missiles with 100-120 km range like 120C which has a range of 20-25 km for its own radar, for a 300km-400km missile, you need more range from the missile seeker (Otherwise the Aircraft needs to guide it for a very long time making it susseptable to enmey missiles). Because of that, Agat 9B-1388.has a range of over 50 km against Fighter sized targets but due to Russia's lack of expertices in Electronics, it also has a very big size and weights nearly 50 kg. Due to Western sanctions on Electronics Import and finiancial crisis, the planned sekker upgrade with smaller size and less weight, has not been materialized yet.

    Over a 1000 km of Airspace, not miles, by placing 4 Mig-31s 200 km apart from each other. Their integrated Data-Link continiously share information from each aircraft to other three in the group and each of them can see the overall spectrum of the airspace, combined information of all 4. That enables one Mig-31 to lock and lauch missile to a target detected by any other Mig-31 in the group. This also enables them to create very difficult situation for the enmy aircrafts where one Mig-31 can close the Gap with high Mach speed to increase probability of Kill, launch the missile and run away, making it difficult for the enemy to engage i, and the lauched Missile still can be guided by another Mig-31 behind the missile range of the enemy aircrafts.

    The f22 has a radar signature of a bumble bee, so I'm sure the Russians can figure out that any bumble bee going mach 1.2 is probably a target.

    Both times with those near misses of the missiles, you are in the notch. However you yawed the plane which allowed the missile to see you easier by giving a larger radar signature.

    Thank you GS for all the hard work you put in your videos! Amazing stuff, really tremendous quality.
    Would it be possible to do videos where you go through the monitors of different aircrafts? When yiu say stuff like "The other bandit is pushing me and the another's breaking off", it would be nice to know where you see this.
    I (like I suspect many of us) are watching these videos from a cell phone with small screens so it's impossible to see all the monitors/radars. It's nice when you somtimes pause the video, zoom in and show what you are watching/meaning.
    If you could dedicate few videos going through all the data you are able to read from the monitors/radars, that would be appreciated.
    Thanks again, GS! Cheers from Finland

    Since the missle is tracking your trajectory as you go into the notch, wouldn't you want to change altitude or speed once hidden in the notch so the missle can't predict where you will be? A lot of the time it seems like you're just flying in a straight line once in notch.
    Love the videos! I've seen every one for the last year+ now

    • @angusmack.2202
      @angusmack.2202 Před 7 měsíci +1

      I think he is limiting the area exposed for the missile to hit, a smaller side (edge-on profile) serves as a smaller target (his stealth may also help, maybe the edge on cross-section is favourable.) the distant phase where the missile is turning and angling is important to do as you said but in the final phase for a very high speed hypersonic missiles, a last minute flick could do the trick I think, too early and you risk a big surface for contact., that's why after a few hard turns he maintains a relatively straight direction (idk if I am making sense, im just guessing :P, correct me pls, so I can understand it better too)

    • @TheByQQ

      Older missiles didn't do that, so depending on which version of missile he was defending against it's possible that there was no need to change anything.

    Can you try out my theory about the hypersonics? By laws of this thing called physics the faster it travels the less maneuverable it is, because inertia can't let it turn. So you should defeat it no problem when it's close simply by changing altitude at the last moment. Try it with something other than f-22, so we know it sees you. I think those hypersonics were meant for awacses and ground targets, they shouldn't be a threat to fighter jets.

    Just to give a sense of scale, a MIG-31 is roughly the same length as a WW2 B-17 bomber. It's 11 feet longer than an F-14 Tomcat or F-15 Eagle. The Mig-31 has a heavier max takeoff weight than the B-17.

    The mig 31 is designed to shoot you down and run home before you get in range. Assuming your not in a stealth fighter.
    They can outrun anything short of a blackbird, and have the most powerful radar fitred on an interceptor. Notice I say powerful, not necessarily the most advanced.
