The OVA from the 80s?

@@urdnal Yes, specifically the very beginning of Act III

@@Tigershark_3082 Thanks dogg.

Obrigado pela indicação irmão, forte abraço daqui Brasil 🇧🇷

Это рисованое аниме из 80 - х? Стоит посмотреть?

My regrets for your loss and respect for your grandfather. Though I was on the other side, I and those with me recognized and respected the formidability of the Soviet Union and its armed forces. He was willing to fight and die for what he believed in and that, again, demands respect. The best days of my military career were after the Wall came down, when we were airdropping food baskets onto each others' flight decks, and it seemed like there was a chance that Russia would eventually join NATO. Maybe someday. But, Koteki, it's great that you remember your grandfather like this. Gosh, I would be so happy if my grandchildren did. Not that I have grandchildren yet. ;-) Oh!, and I almost forgot to say that when I was little, maybe 12 or 14, I built a Revell polystyrene model of the Mig-21 and painted it gunmetal silver. My brother built an F-4D Phantom in the SE Asia camouflage paint scheme and we would dogfights out in the side yard of our house. No radio controlled flight or anything like that, just carrying the planes around and using our imaginations with a lot of unrealistic maneuvers on my part. I remember my brother complaining to me about that.

@@c.s.oneill2079 :) me too used to have both models, F4 assembled by my father in my childhood (played with it in the same way:) and Mig-21 made by me when I grown up. For me, those planes from 50-60s was symbol of such great technical progress, which promises to inhabitate Mars and Venus up to year 2000. B-58, Yak-28, Tu-22, F-104 - all looks like guests from the future even in xxi century. Hope, our countries will reconcile again

@@Tequilasaur I live near a factory that produces engines for such Russian planes. How sad that in today's country there are no new serial projects of military planes or helicopters, except only the Su-57. When I was a kid I managed to make a whole collection of military models, most of them military fighters. So I paid attention to this video only because I recognized the MiG-21 in its preview.

@@Tequilasaur I feel the same way and hope so too.

Молодец Дед!

Agreed. I just wish a group like the Collings Foundation could resurrect an old Convair F-106B Delta Dart from the dead, but alas, the US government doesn't like civilians owning military aircraft. From what I remember, tge only reason they have an F-100F and F-4D is because they acquired both from foreign nations (South Korea (I think) for the F-4D, the Netherlands for the F-100F)

The Mig-21, the plane in the video, can be simulated in DCS. Not quite real life but... pretty fun!

And on occasion, even faster than that :)

@@Tigershark_3082 I mean, its not a government conspiracy. They don't make them anymore and they have not made them for decades now, they just aren't for sale because the ones that are airworthy are legitimate artifacts that take much time and effort to restore. This is all on top of the insane operating costs: A WW2 warbird can cost thousands of dollars an hour in fuel, maintenance and custom-machined parts. A supersonic cold war fighter jet is bigger, gulps down absurd amounts of fuel for even short flights and would still require similarly scarce specialist knowledge and custom-made parts for engines and an airframe that are no longer manufactured.

@@lolroflroflcakes Conspiracy implies ill-intent. The reality is that when [pick any cold-war aircraft] was being retired, it was a legitimate security concern to allow the technical data and resources to maintain them to persist, so most of the data and parts were disposed of.

I flew gliders for some time... Check out Bayreuth airfield in Germany (EDQD)... We have one there. It isn't secured against theft, so if you can fly it out of there, you can have it. 😉😂

@@AllisterCaine lol! Go for it

I'd listen to this in an F-16

Mach 2 better be an M-25 FOXBAT

P-39 Airacobra

Not for very long, the 21 's a thirsty bird.

Same, sounds amazing having a history attachment such as that!

Perfect name for a career with aviation

Yes

Such a simple but great story! Thanks for sharing, I'll remember and tell it as ''one of those random but cool stories for campfires''

the MiG-21 is a 60's plane, your dad was most likely talking about the MiG-15

I think the Fishbed was surpassed by the Fighting Falcon/Viper. Chances are, both will end up being surpassed by the F-35 as well.

I concur. The MiG-21 is the AK-47 of fighter jets

A few days ago, Russia destroyed four Ukrainian Mig-21's who had been parked somewhere for decades ....

I know right? Such a blink and you miss it moment

@@ematic0054 that's because it goes very fast

Holy - is that...? A Mikoyan Gurevich Mig-21?!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant all around.

vibe is awesome

Welp I guess that Mig got places to go

Assuming it has the fuel onboard to do so.

like the sr-71 (i think)

​@@AbsolutelyNotKirrimI'd double check on the mig 21, but I can tell you for a fact that it's true for the sr 71. Another engine fact on it is that jp7 fuel was too volatile for it so they used jp8. Kinda like the difference between gas and diesel, except not as drastic

@@timothybackhus824 it is retractable according to (aircraft stack exchange) on early model MIGS the nose cone had 3 positions for air intake at different speeds on a later model MIG-21 PF it started using the UVD-2M system with air pressure sensors installed the front and behind of the engines compressor that would make the nose move according to the actual speed and not the just the aproximate speed

@@timothybackhus824yeah the ground crews could put out their cigarettes in the fuel

Same here. An anime like no others particularly dear to my heart

Was on a carrier when this came out. We were still flying the A-7 back then. Odd how the plot line is still relevant.

Beats to spamraam to

what about MiG-23? i love the MiG-23

I don't believe there are any anime that feature the Mig-25. However, Area 88 (the Anime OVA series this GIF was taken from) had a very wide variety of different aircraft used: F-5A Freedom Fighters, A-4 Skyhawks, F-5E Tiger IIs, an F-105D Thunderchief, and F-104G Starfighter (for like half-a-second), F-4E Phantom IIs, Mig-27K Flogger D(eeze nuts, gotteem)s, Mig-21s (as pictured here), an F-20A Tigershark, an F-14A Tomcat, an A-10A Thunderbolt II, AV-8A Harriers, and the IAI Kfir C.2 I feel like either the Tigershark or Kfir C.2 would fit really well, it's just a matter of finding a segment of the animation that would make a perfectly-looping GIF. I *think* there may be a scene or two with the Kfir flying straight, but I KNOW there's a really good scene during the beginning dogfight with three Kfirs firing off their Sidewinders, then turning away. I think that a good scene to make into a GIF for the Tigershark would be the canyon run part, since it's a close-up shot of the pilot with some insanely clean animation with the reflections on the canopy. Hot damn, I went on a serious rant here...

Edit: the Wolfpack aircraft were Mig-27M Flogger Js, not Mig-23BM Flogger Ds

Mig-25 is rather Mach Three

In DCS right? Right?

@@judet2992 Unfortunately, yeah in DCS. But in VR so its not all bad ;)

@@potatopilot1699 it was a joke about them actually flying a Hornet IRL.

I'm loving it too. Three songs in, and gonna groove all the way!

The only Anime that I was able to watch without cringing.

Hey, you might like the Castle Hassall song "Blaze".. it's kind of sentiments like those.. i hope life turns out Really good for you and anyone reading this..

Watch the power lines o7

@@HalIOfFamer Will do thanks!!!

Did you know that the Lancaster bomber crews flew their entire mission at lower than 50 feet, at night, across the sea and along rivers etc, to deep within Germany, with no night vision, to do the "dambusters" raid.. It's tragic that innocent people are harmed in war but that was some intensely good flying and navigation etc..i hope humans can find a way to do things where we help each other and stop the bad people from spoiling things for everyone in future.. Best wishes to anyone reading this from Rolland at Castle Hassall

omg I just watched the anime and knew it would be shoot down in a few scenes ;-;

Yeah, it motivates me to draw in order to draw something like this

I did that once. My elevator jammed and the engine flamed out on landing.
