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.

It wouldn't made a difference since the f-15's fox3 weren't of sufficient range to cause the SU-30 to change his tactics.

[@donavan835]

[@gopniksaurolophus6354]

@@AlenB29 E-3s have historically been able to detect aircraft with RCS of similar size to the Su-30 at fairly low altitudes (think Desert Storm) so altitude wouldn't really mean much unless the Sukhoi is at treetop level in or near the Sentry's radar blindspot.

The range of the anti AWACS missile is interesting...did they have a fighter carrying a radar capable of shooting it from a stand off of that range? Or was the idea using a ground radar to feed info to the fighter for the launch? Gonna have to go read up on this one. Great video.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you, and yes I believe it was originally intended for the su35 and the su30 which I assume means their radars were enough. I think the 400km range on wikipedia is a little bit of hogwash to be honest, but thats the nature of wikipedia.

[@theamericancommie727]

I feel like this would be more interesting with jammers, completely negating the stand off capability.

[@speed150mph]

Makes you wonder why you couldn’t have something akin to an Air to Air harm missile. Designed to home in on an aircrafts radar emissions, at least up to terminal phase homing where it could switch to radar or IR. Then you’d have an almost entirely passive missile, no active radar emissions to give the target even a hint that they are being targeted. You could engage at long range while maintaining complete emcon. I mean, I’m talking out my ass here, I don’t know if that would be possible, or if it’s done and isn’t common knowledge but still.

[@nozzel829]

This exists, R-27EP

[@CowsR4me]

i got curious and looked up the crew evacuation plans for awacs. turns out the blowout hatches would typically destroy the test dummies and the idea of putting on a chute during a catastrophic disaster is not really feasible, so they just ride the plane down and hope for the best. brutal

[@billisaacs702]

I just wonder, wouldn't it have been smarter to have a tactical spread of say 10 miles out front of the AWACS, or whatever the expected threat axis was? That AWACS gives you a fantastic advantage in terms of SA, so why not take advantage of it?

[@jonathanpfeffer3716]

[@bukhariali71]

That was really awesome to watch. F14 with Phoenix will make it even more interesting

[@ATP-Flo]

An F14 would see the bandit earlier and the missiles have longer range. But the Phoenix missiles are pretty stupid when you turn cold just after you fired them as GS always does with the AMRAAMs. AMRAAMs have way more intelligent guidance and track better. It would be interesting though.

[@tswims92]

I think this might be a job for the Aim-54. Also I’m curious if DCS has modeled the Tomcat radar/Phoenixes being able to lock and shoot down incoming cruise missiles.

[@BrianT175]

Indeed it appears they did. Growling did it in another scenario defending a fleet group.

[@jchrystsheigh]

That's a helluva pyrrhic win.

[@bossgunny4203]

When it comes to shooting at a Target remember they are radar guided missiles not info guided missiles. The closest thing I think we have to this are Tomahawks but they use satellite GPS and that doesn't work well for moving targets. The other thing being wire-guided torpedoes where you can guide the torpedo from the submarine as long as the wire is still connected but once the wires cut the torpedo is on its own.

[@RueBlaa]

Same mission but with a Typhoon with Meteors. The extra range and speed of the Meteor might slightly even the odds

[@doc7000]

[@barbaros99]

Great video. A couple of questions: 1) The flares you drop at 2:04 - any reason for that, or just to signal the AWACS that you're breaking off to hunt down the Flanker? 2) In a mission wherein you are trying to force an opponent to go defensive, so they have a harder time locking up the asset you're protecting, is there any worth to firing multiple Fox-3s before going defensive yourself? Giving them more to worry about, as it were?

[@InstinctBassin]

If one AIM-120 doesn’t track, the other isn’t likely to either, so it’s just a wasted missile.

You should do the US vs Russia thing again but with the rule that you can't choose the same jet twice so it's more interesting. Do like 5 or 6 rounds so you can have different engagements. Also make it bandit unknown so you have to choose your jet carefully.

[@kostaskoutsoulas4672]

Is it possible for a pilot to know in a real life scenario of a bvr fight that the missiles fired at him are this kind of missiles with huuuge range and not regular fox-3s? I had the same question in my mind when I was watching your previous video.

[@giantnanomachine]

Depends on the missile and RWR. If the missile hasn't switched on its own radar, no way to tell. If the RWR doesn't know about the signature of the missile's radar, again no way to tell. Unless some super-modern sensor packages can deduce the type of missile from the IR signature or from the launch plume, which I imagine would both be tremendously difficult to do.

[@kostaskoutsoulas4672]

@@giantnanomachine Thanks!

[@sety5591]

The airforce develop a standard procedure to combat each jet fighter from each nation using the available military intelligence. It meant the pilot will start defending or changing altitude at certain range from the enemy regardless of what their sensors didn't/couldn't detect. source: @Growling Sidewinder interviewed a French Rafale pilot and mentioned that pilot are forbidden from playing or discussing a BVR fight online.

[@kostaskoutsoulas4672]

@@sety5591 yes, I get that pilots follow some kind of "standard defence procedure" depending on the enemy, but it's not "normal" or standard for a bandit to fire these missiles at you so if gs in this video was defending as he would normally defend a Russian aircraft, he would be pulverised very fast (i think).

[@AH-of6td]

GS, can you please check the following case? Mig-31 flys at its maximum altitude about 90K feet and I suppose Aim-120 would not be able to hit it as some sources say the max altitude for Aim-120 is about 80K feet.

[@agsystems8220]

At that altitude a Mig-31 is barely staying in the sky and not doing any manoeuvring. A Mach 3 Mig will probably out-manoeuvre a Mach 3 Aim-120 at that altitude, but it will cost it a chunk of altitude and speed. An Aim 120 could easily get up there. The problem is that it has very little ability to turn when it gets there due to the thin air. It certainly could hit a Mig 31, but only if it made little attempt to avoid it. I wouldn't pay much attention to 'max altitude' figures though, as they are fairly arbitrary representation or diminishing effectiveness.
