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.

MiG-23 was designed as a unique component of GCI/Integrated Air Defense of Armies/Soviet Union/Eastern Bloc nations; like AIM-54 was designed as a unique component of the F-14. Waves of high altitude B-52/F-111s were going to fall prey to them in the 1970's which forced them to go low level. Pitting a flight of Floggers over the open ocean, far away from GCI and SAM assets... let alone in a merge is a group of mice trying to take down a stray cat on the street. They will get piled up like cordwood, snacks like you made of them here. What a nice video, so many cool visuals and excellent commentary! 🥰

Missile tech improved massively after their miserable performance over Vietnam. Aircrew had not been properly trained on the performance envelope of the weapons. Much more live fire R&D was done and radar tech also got better. It’s the same old story of a new technology being rammed down the throats of operators before the tech is properly tested in the field, by people who know nothing about the actual systems.

Hey GS idk if you’re going to see this, but do you think that with the news about the AIM-174 being used on f/a 18s and it being a long range missile, do you think that you could do a video about it and explain some stuff? All I currently know is it is an SM6 with an AMRAAM seeker and can go to ranges of about 130 miles at around 3.5 Mach. It would be awesome to see it be used in either a 1 on 1 video or in an awacs destroy video. Thanks!

@tristanholland6445 5 күн бұрын

That one has an ECM package in the tail and no 23mm. It only had the be 23mm when equipped with a turret and would have had a fairly limited range. What they really did was fly in a large formation some Tu-22 had the ECM package and the rest had Kh-22 cruise missiles. They would split off and attack from multiple directions to make the job of defense much more difficult. Also obviously they only needed to get within the range of the cruise missiles range. These systems are why the Navy had great interest in being able to defend the fleet from as far out as possible.

@tristanholland6445 5 күн бұрын

Red Storm Rising has an excellent description of an engagement between Soviet naval aviation and a USN Task Force. Only being set in the mid 80’s the attacking aircraft are Tu-22M Backfires and Tu-95 bears both launching cruise missiles. Actually Red Storm Rising is an excellent book and very accurate it was written by Tom Clancy to be an accurate analysis of a NATO VS Warsaw Pact confrontation.

The High Lark Radar of the Flogger sucked big time. No Look down - shoot down when the target ist low, and limited when the target is at medium altitude.The F 1 -Missile (R-23R / AA-7), esp. the AA-7 A Variant had a very short range, even head on against fighter size targets, and not more than 2 nautical miles stern on. The only advantages of the Flogger was its size (it was not very big and therefore hard to pick up visually) and first and foremost its straight line speed. A dogfight against a Flogger could even be won by a Tornado or something similar, just because the Flogger could not sweep its wings under G-load.

I believe thats accurate as well, I heard during the Iran Iraq war, many Mig-23s were used as well (I'm not sure the variant but obvs some sort of export variant) and they had terrible losses, I believe there is even a story of 3 of them getting killed by 1 Iranian tomcat with 1 aim54 because they were in close formation, they might have had some fox2 kills but I've never heard of a radar guided kill from a mig23...again not sure if the variant the Iraqis had even had that option.
