Lessons from this scene: In the manner of martial arts movies, when assailed by six enemy planes only one will attack at a time, allowing you to respond. Enemy planes will have no radar or missile lock warning, allowing US planes to attack in virtual surprise. Air Force One only contains one set of countermeasures, so two missiles should do the trick. When fleeing the scene and imminent destruction, enemy planes must perform aerobatic maneouvres.

[@dallasyap3064]

The first set of missiles fired by the F-15s are AIM-120 AMRAAM. Planes being targeted by those missiles won't know about it until those missiles are very close to them; therefore allowing almost very little to no time to execute evasive maneuver.

[@chrisdelzell8467]

Actually in that time period most Migs couldn't detect the higher tech radars in an F-15, and the missiles they were shooting wouldn't have engaged their own radars until immediately before impact. That's a big part of the reason for the F-15's 100-odd to zero kill ratio.

[@DJones476]

@@chrisdelzell8467 Sort of, but not exactly, Chris. The AIM-120 AMRAAM typically went 'pit bull' fairly soon after launch so that the fighter pilot was free to engage other bandits, but if the F-15 pilot had the radar in any mode other than STT (single target track), the bandit wouldn't get much warning. For example, if the radar is in TWS (track while scan) or TWS-RAID, not enough of the radar's energy is being directed at the bandit to trigger his radar warning receiver.

This movie was rarely accurate in a technical sense. However, the President in this movie was a fighter pilot with combat experience. He wasn't trained to fly a jumbo jet but he was a highly experienced pilot nonetheless.

ok, so the Russians didn't have radar, those F15s weren't stealthy at all were they?

That close they probably weren't using it, the MiG-29 has an electro-optical inferred sight they would have used more, it wont bounce an RWR hit.

[@seafarmersun]

GhoulKun Dipto 2 words: american propaganda

[@russelloriely6343]

electronic countermeasures from airforce one at that close of range would jam their radars. think of sitting beside an ocean tanker your not going to see the speedboat on the other side. what should concern everyone from both airforces is they were all flying with their navigation lights on. now me (and every airforce since the idea came about) me I would turn off my navigation lights.

[@SuperiorBrick]

Russel, that close to the aircraft they would have achieved ECM burn through, so it would be pointless to use it.

[@nidheeshkm8471]

Russell Oriely even if the airforce one can jam the Mig radar that that plane has to be that much close, but at that close range they don't need their radar, they will get a good aim,they can simply burst the Airforce 1 in the case of Ecm suit Russian fighters can jamm ur Best Aegis defence system lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.veteranstoday.com%2F2014%2F11%2F13%2Faegis-fail-in-black-sea-ruskies-burn-down-uss-donald-duck%2F&h=RAQHW2do3&enc=AZP4p7NbSJ7m_6YCnNZfSKDUSAtpXoVNuTrZZ0ZB-LvPPzqPsmWxot27uhnANgeqrBs&s=1

Because they were all busy (in Russian accent) "drinking Vodka." 😂

[@RobroTom]

Red Missiles are hugely expensive to buy and manufacture, so they only fire as many as needed as to not waste ammunition. Also if they all fired all the missiles would have been evaded by the flares AF-1 can deploy

[@philipcoffman4372]

SuperAshahzad yep they have vodka compartments like a limo and a doll of an imaginary friend. Russians don't like to drink alone. They are not Mexicans
