2 USAF F-15Cs VS 2 Yugoslav Air Force MiG-29s | DCS Reenactment

[@vladimirsusic5335]

Peric told that as soon as he turned on the radar - the avionics reported MALFUNCTION - those Migs werent maintained and didnt get a single spare part for 9 yrs or so (Yugoslavia was under sanctions). Almost all YU Migs 29 were in very bad shape, and could be used in airshow, but could NOT be used in real war engagement. Those man in Migs are heroes, as they went into fight on a jets that basically didnt have BVR capabilities. Radosavljevic pull other younger pilot that should be on that flight and said If someone needs to die - that wont be the kids - with those words he soared to legend.

That is because even for the larger Yugoslavia training fighter pilots was very expensive, so the same pilots flew for longer (in terms of years) but much less in terms of yearly flight hours. The USA with its huge sphere of influence could train more pilots with more flight hours.

[@rasosteva]

Serbian pilots had great training and great skills but Migs were not maintained due to sanctions from 1992. All resourses for Migs expired in 1995. They were flying coffins.

Those US Airmen were not “fresh graduates.” How do you make such an absurd assertion? Captains serve three to four years before achieving that rank. And F-15 crews have hundreds of flight hours stateside before being assigned to a combat air patrol abroad.

[@hmong_keeb_kwm]

Those pilots didn't stand a chance from the beginning and still flew up to challenge. With years of sanctions and lack of financial support, those mig29 were not fit for combat at all. Those Mig29 only had old outdated R27 Missle which were the most unreliable air to air Missle ever evented by the Soviet. Some of the Mig29 radars weren't even working at all along with some ejection seats also not working. It was a suicide mission from the start.

[@weyrdsfaegh6911]

Yugoslav MiGs at the time had worse detection radar range than US pilots' targeting radar, meaning- F 15 could launch a missile on MiG 29 before MiG is even aware of F 15. Those 2 pilots in particular had problems with radio communication, one of them having malfunctioning R 73 missile carrier and other having no radar and Radar Warning Reciver. Bassicaly blind and deaf. But being hero is something above all that- those men showed the world that Yugoslavia will defend with all it has, even against 20+ countries most of which were economicaly far greater. And all those countries are now complaining about Russian invasion completley ignoring what they did not too long ago. No war is flowering field, bad things happen. But you do not create peace with violence, supporting one or another side.

[@silverstryke8913]

Yugoslavia is not special.....most or all sovereign nations will defend its teritory.....Its combat, "kill or be killed". No one cares if you have comm problems or an inferior equipment or asset. Supporting one or another side?? Did you forget about the genocide? .........here's a snapshot of the past: "NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring countries and had the potential to destabilize the region.

[@weyrdsfaegh6911]

Formal reason is always needed. I won’t confirm od decline any of your facts and waste time on that (even tough a lot more can and has to be said in order to understand everything that went on, but just to mention - as there were crimes on Yugoslav side, no better was another one, there are numerous examples, and your statement ,,supporting one or another side” hits a rock here ) but you should keep in mind some generally-adopted facts: most of refugees both serbian and albanian left Kosovo the moment bombing campain started. NATO bombs equally hit albanian and serbian civilian houses on Kosovo, leaving no one feeling safe. Inflicting unsolvable material damage problems, and even more importantly- uranium poisoning of the ground and water, which of course still lasts to this day, leading to increased number of cancer deaths compared to european average- both nationalities suffer. Numerous italian peace keeping soldiers have died to this day due to cancer, and their families sued government for radiation poisoning they suffered after deployment on Kosovo just as the bombing ended. Whole operation completley avoided all safety procedures of UN neccesary when such operations are performed. Those were never the interests of world powers and I m sorry to blow your candles but there are many more proofs for my claim than yours. And last thing- is giving armamament to someone to fight something that ends of prolongs the war? That’s what’s happening to Ukraine right now. Why don’t NATO stop Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine if it is so sensitive on such things? Because it doesn’t dare to, it could be a fair fight, something NATO isn’t prepeared for. By giving arms to those poor people to fight you only prolong their suffering, not much more of anything else. What about US allies commiting war and ethnical crimes on daily basis? You cant even find such examples in the news, couse it s not something that should matter to you, read- those are national interests.

@@weyrdsfaegh6911 I agree with most of your points but in regards to Ukraine, I think we can all agree that *another* full scale European war isn’t in anyones best interests except coffin makers.

One of those US pilots said in an intervju "when i saw burning planes i hoped there were pilots in them". What kind of a person says that, the YU pilot that survived said they don't think like that its enough to immobilize the enemy plane. And the Migs were the worst type 9.12B for non Warsaw Pact member and haven't been on overhaul or serviced for 10years and the radar bad , not even medium range missiles. It was back then in the US Air Forces own like news Magazine or whatever it is. This was so many years ago but i remember a reporter found the pilot that survived and showed it too him and wanted a comment. People are individuals thats like saying "i don't believe a professional soldier or pilot would commit war crimes ". But some did , like when cluster bombs were dropped on the biggest Marketplace in a big City in broad daylight. Or one of many cases when hospitals were bombed but then NATO confessed that they new what they were bombing but that they had the right to do so because 4-5 18 year old conscript soldiers were guarding the entrence because there were terrorists everywhere, terrorist that were labaled as terrorists by the State Department and many others but after Tony Blair had a meeting with the "honest " Bill Clinton they became allies in almost 24h so some unholy deal was made. But back to the hospital in the geneva conventions article 50 paragraf 3 if i remember correctly it says" The Convention specifically demands the safeguarding of civilian lifes even in the presence of individuals that don't fall under the defenition civilian". Yugoslavia also saved 500 allied pilots during WW2 Operation Hilard, there is a book called the forgotten 500 about that, but some that war alive in 99 were om tv ashamed and they new that the country was so demonized so they told their story how they were saved under great risk, hidden, evecuated. But the video that Wikileaks leaked of the Apache helicopter killing 12 civilians two of them very small children and the disgusting comments by the pilot not too mention that he lied over the radio to his CO to get the green light to fire those were professional pilots and it doesent matter which military it is no one is immune or moraly Superior to others . On the video later groundforces arriwe and one soldier is carrying a halfdead 5 year old girl he was on tv many times and he also commented everything the pilot said to explain. He and another member of his platoon wrote a letter to the victims familys appologizing for taking part in the war and he said that during his tour he saw systematic war crimes about 30-40. That not so strange if there are hundreds of thousands comming and going there will always be some bad seeds. But im pretty sure the military covers up alot .

[@panta1501]

Well, that's the true nature of US and NATO pilots, eager to kill anything, what state of mind you need to be in to think on this way (I hoped there was a pilots in them"...

The MiG-29 falls between the F-16 and the F/A-18 in many performance specifications. It can't turn quite as tight and, has a lower T/W than the F-16. A higher T/W than the F/A-18 but, less "AOA" of the F/A-18! Like many encounters, pilot training determines the winners far more than technical advantages of one fighter versus another fighter. The Russian AF's MiG-29s can maneuver with any fighter currently flying BUT, antiquated avionics and lack of pilot training is the reason the MiG-29 had (years ago) an 11:38, a negative kill ratio!!! Pilot training is the greatest reason the F-15 has a 105:0 kill ratio! There have been many "claims" by opposing fighter pilots of kills against the F-15 BUT, there has been NO wreckage sites of a defeated/killed F-15.

Until the SW-9X and the AMRAAM became operational Russia, had the better A2A missiles!

For some reason, everyone forgets that these MiGs, in addition to being unserviced, were also an export version and did not have a R73, but only a export version of R60 missle. F-15 pilots shooting down these MiGs could have been just as proud if they shot down a MiG15. They had American and not export aircraft, they were in the overwhelming majority and also had the support of AWACS. It’s even a shame to draw such marks on the sides. Now, if they had just as easily defeated the MiG-29M (9-15) or at lease Mig-29S (9-13S) with R-77 missiles and an equal number on both sides, then we could talk about something.

Well done man that was f15 vs mig29 but cool

[@professor_of_logic]

Tuzla is NOT just 25 miles west of "Yugoslavian border"( much, much more), and also city of Zrenjanin is also much further away then just 30 miles from this air base (Batajnica) it's about twice more...where did you find those numbers?

[@Dash99erOfficial]

Ok so I Measured the distance from Tula to Šepak Border Crossing and that gave me 25 miles. But looking at google earth, Zrenjanin is 30 miles from Colonel - Pilot Milenko Pavlovic Batajnica airbase. Unless my conversions are wrong then I'm sorry.

[@StromBugSlayer]

You need to run a spell check on your captions. "Meet" and "border" for example.

[@Dash99erOfficial]

yes

[@MikeBrown-go1pc]

@@Dash99erOfficial I mis-spell border the same way you did sometimes. It's because of board and border. It seems like board should be in border.

[@ЗоранХулк]

Serbian pilots had chance to stay alive and stay in battle only if thay stayed low... bad tactics... Mig-29a very first version, also at the еnd of resources and in bad condition...

[@squid11160]

Ako pokušaš da napadneš neprijateljski avion puzeći po zemlji u trenutku kad iskočiš, neprijatelj ima ogromnu energetsku zalihu i za manevrisanje i za projektile, dok ti na zemlji imaš šanse da pobegneš jedino ako su neke planine i kanjoni blizu. Naši piloti su izveli izuzetno rizičan potez, ali svakako bolji nego da su se šunjali do zadnje sekunde. Mig29 u forsažu može izuzetno brzo da dostigne 5km nadmorske visine, ali ne toliko brzo. Pritom, potrošnja goriva pri zemlji je mnogo veća nego na 5km nadmorske. Jeste da nije ogromna razdaljina Batajnica, Zrenjanin Tuzla, ali Mig29 jako brzo troši gorivo.

[@ЗоранХулк]

[@mariomituljevic296]

Večna pamjat div junaci, naši piloti su ušli u istoriju, sa višestruko jačim, novijim, savremenim i tehnološki naprednijim avionima, izlazili su kao pobednici, a ne kao neki bednici, velika je razlika. Dogodine u Prizrenu.

[@squid11160]

I dok bežiš, oni već znaju tvoju poziciju. Svaki manevar oduzima energiju i brzinu, a oni u ponoru. Nemoj da pričaš negativno o herojima kad ne znaš o čemu pričaš. Sigurno su znali bolje i od tebe i od mene šta raditi u tim okolnostima

[@ЗоранХулк]

@@squid11160 У послератним емисијама, сами пилоти су причали да је тактика била лоша и да им је "шуњање" или "заскакивање" са леђа(пусти да прођу - па узлети и приђи слеђа) била једина шанса! Нико не спори да су били хероји али и они сами су рекли да у "фронталном" директном нападу нису имали шансе из свима нама добро познатих разлога.

If only they had put more effort into maintaining their equipment and less into massacring civilians, these guys might have had a chance.

[@1GTX1]

I'm not a fan of Yugoslavia but there were sanctions on everything in Yugoslavia in 1992, a complete blockade on any parts, products, and still most of the 80 destoyed bridges were rebuild in a year, power grid was restored.. Now we wouldn't last a week with sanctions, even food is imported.

@@svizakosovo6120 Ashamed? losses are such of life. 38,000 sorties flew over your head unimpeded as they bombed your country to hell. Clinging to 2 shootdowns from the bombing of your country is the shameful thing. Ukrainians could teach you a few things or two like what they are doing against your masters in Moscow.

[@vezinadecebal]

Mig 29 este un avion bun dar nu se compara cu f15. Este o crima sa angajezi orice avion facut de rusi de generatia 4-4,5 impotriva unui f15.

[@stefanm5636]

Rest in peace we will remember you. Without hesitation no one said no to defending their homeland.There is story about battle of "Košare" where small group of Yugoslavian defenders defeated few thousand UCK terrorists with constant bombardment from NATO planes.With all support from NATO and their planes they didn't menage to break our border lines. Our generals menage to transport whole regiment of tanks under NATO nose, we had tactics to make fake planes, tanks, etc to make them targets for NATO planes and it worked, when peace was sign NATO leaders where in shock when they saw how many tanks and other vehicles withrawn from Kosovo.

[@killer3000ad]

Cope and seethe, it won't undo the loss of Kosovo.

[@warrenpeas]

why the migs dont get a shot off?

[@СырымБердимжаев]

because the MiG 29 radar sees the F 15 a little later than it is detected by the Eagles

[@TheGreaterGoodCS]

I think they weren't in range, that or they got fired upon quicker than they thought

[@MikeBrown-go1pc]

I'm pretty sure in 1999, the F-15 sees the Mig-29 to shoot from far away before the Mig-29 sees the F-15. Then there is the question of missile range. I remember being a kid during this and Mig-29s were old and outdated then lol. Here it is 23 years later and these two aircraft are still are in service in many nations. Goes to show just how good weapon designers really got durinG the cold war. The latest version of the F- 15 may still be the best air superiority fighter in the world that isn't stealth and I saw vids saying they want to stealth it out to make it a gen 4.5 which would still probably be better than Russia's top fielded SU jets. IDK about China's stealth plane. I heArd India could see them on radar, but who knows.

Special operation in Yugoslavia vs War in Ukraine different is that if crimes are committed by NATO it's called (Special operation ”Merciful Angel”) if crime is committed by Russian or anyone else it's called (War). exclusive rights on running wars everywhere reserved only for NATO. until 2022. 1999 (19 big countries vs 1 small ) try now against Russia....it's still same size of all 19...but 19 of them can't collect one pair of balls...while one little Serbia fogth well and manage to hold 2 phases of operation...in third they give up (third was hitting civilian targets) first was air strikes, second land invasion, Serbia showed one pair of giant balls... today I would like to see them do anything about Russia.... they are 19 big jokes....
