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.

Only america fights at 60 miles below lol every other nation have 120 miles bvr capability 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s why Americans scrambling to get the 260 aim Jdf missile on the way

[@PhycoKrusk]

The Meteor has a two-way datalink with its launch platform, which _does_ mean that if you break the lock and the missile can't find you but the mothership does (whether with its own radar or from AWACS), it will immediately snitch and tell the missile where it can find you again. The Meteor is a tenacious and nasty piece of hardware.

[@djmicrowave6073]

Just wanna say love the fact you used the word snitch lol

[@PhycoKrusk]

@@djmicrowave6073 well,I often feel a little too old to say "narc." Got to "keep it real," you know?

[@123Andersonev]

it's funny when you consider US was pushing hard for widespread AIM-120 NATO adoption, you can imagine all the Meteor countries must have been like "not today, stars and stripes!!!"

[@PhycoKrusk]

@@123Andersonev I mean, the AMRAAM is a good missile, but even disregarding the 30-year-old design (updated though it might be), it's still a medium range missile that is intended to only ever be thrown from within 50 miles. The Meteor is a long range missile that's expected to be thrown more than 100 miles. The real question is whether or not the AMRAAM is going to meet modern day BVR requirements. The AIM-120D, in theory, has comparable performance to the Meteor, but performance on paper is very different from performance in the air. I'm sure it's plenty capable, but it's probably also at the very limits of what the missile is capable of.

[@123Andersonev]

@@PhycoKrusk the 120D doesn't though it's not big enough to have comparable range and doesn't have the same no escape zone, the issue is US superiority aircraft like the Raptor can't house the meteor in their weapons bay, the f35 can because it was a design requirement if that makes sense.

[@FlyingWithSpurts]

There is a channel on KZbin called Aircrew Interviews. They interviewed a former British Royal Air Force pilot who helped set up the RAF's first Eurofighter squadron. He was saying that the Eurofighter was such a gamechanger that pilots with just 160 hours flying were taking on F-15 pilots with hundreds of hours flying and the Eurofighter could get a kill in 60 seconds.

The first time he locked you at 100 miles I was telling the screen, abort, do the MiG-29 thing and stay cutting the grass in the clutter as long as possible and take pop up shots, two at a time, which you figured out in the end.

The meteor is basically a cheat code. Very OP. Which makes sense, considering that UK missile tech is so good, and the position of the UK in geopolitical/strategic terms. Ask the guys flying those F-15's every week over the UK, blading around at mack 1.2. The Eurofighters just float about slowly at decent altitude, observing, not taking much care for anything else. They're fully aware of how well defended the UK is with these meteors, they don't really even need anything more. There capable planes, but they don't need to be much more than just "capable" with great avionics, great missiles, and total coverage. Basically it's impossible to cross the North Sea without being downed. Which is the whole point. That's their whole defence. Total coverage, and missiles that are impossible to defend without basically fleeing, which is why the UK don't mind using F-35's for that purpose. They don't need anything as capable is an F16 or an F22, they could stick with the eurofighter for a few more decades just fine.
