F 18 Intercept Mig 29, Real Dogfight

[@jacquesjackcoomans2295]

This whole thing is made up of multiple different F/A 18's , for a start, two of the F/A18 are from opposing carrier fleets, one from the Pacific Fleet (designation NJ) and the other from the Atlantic Fleet ( Designation AB) also the dog fight scene is between a Swiss F/A18 and a German Mig 29, not a US F/A18 as the author has exclaimed. The training operation that the US did with Germany in was called Red October (October 2000)> The footage you see of an F/A 18 with the designation VFA-163. ID NJ-106 was actually a Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet flown by Burnett and Stackhouse in the movie Behind enemy lines.... Thank me later

I would guess that the outcome of any dogfight would depend more on the capabilities of the pilot than the plane.

It's likely a combination of both I would think.

[@drichreq3748]

Since both the F-18 and Mig-29 have roughly the same capabilities then you are correct in saying that the outcome will be decided by the skill of the pilots.

Technology is a big factor, but if all else is even, pilot skill is third to whichever sees the other first. Thereby getting the drop on angle so radar can get a solution to lock up, then boom somebody dies. Or at least bails out.

[@deandubofsky5721]

Wonder how the two aircraft got so close as to dogfight when they both have missiles and radars that detect the enemy miles away.

Simply because they wanted to compare the dogfight capacities of these jets I suppose

[@garyhughes2446]

Frank you're probably right, the problem is doubtful that will ever happen and the jetsamerica builds and the quality of them are far more easily controlled than evil leaders of other countries so America has to be ready to defend herself with the best that she can offer.

[@УДачныйучасток-я1е]

For the F-18, it was absolutely unrealistic to intercept the MiG-29. The maximum speed of the Mig -29 is 2450 km / h. The maximum speed of the F-18 is 2000 km / h. The practical ceiling of the MiG-29 is 18,500 meters, for the F-18 - 15240 m.

[@stevewhite4002]

I've served in the US Navy.... accurate specs are classified..

[@flightstatic4662]

at least the hornet is combat proven unlike the f22

[@davidoconnell3834]

Max speed is not the limiting factor it's the fuel, radar and weapons. Missiles travel faster than either aircraft. And max speed is using burners and can only be maintained for a short timeframe before your fuel will become an issue. The Super Hornets will fuel from another Hornet after takeoff so the chances are pretty good that they will have more gas to burn. And the superior radar in the Hornet will enable them to spot the Mig29 much earlier giving them a very important advantage.

[@Artem-go4ub]

@@davidoconnell3834 Here it is not necessary to write here that the F -18 has a longer detection range)) Now there is an Mi-35, this is the same Mi-29, only with a deep modernization) Maybe the F-18 plays better in Hollywood movies, but not in real combat) The Mig -35 is faster, flies higher, more maneuverable, and its detection range is also higher) Also, the missiles for the Mig-35 have been updated) The F-18 is a good workhorse like the MIG-35)

[@off-vw5sw]

In MiG-29 is a device that determines who the pilot, either Russian or Anglo-Saxon. If it sits Russian pilot, it includes a superweapon, and if the American, it just flies without maneuvering, like a normal American aircraft, for example, the same F/A-18. Usually Americans willpower is not enough to fight the Russian aces.

The mig is more maneuverable..but too heavy and too sluggish...F18 will fly all over it.

[@VALK__YZ]

yes i remeber Tom Cruise was a Fighter Pilot before he was an actor

[@H0Bahner]

I know about this Training. Normal East German Pilots against US Topgun Pilots. The Kills was 9 to 1 for the East German Pilot. The US pilots complained because the German pilots had flown maneuvers that were not allowed. In a real fight, ervery maneuver is allowed if you want to survive. If you fly standard maneuvers your opponent knows, you will be shot down. The US pilots were only bad losers. Just as a reminder, Erich Hartmann had 352 confirmed kills in WW2 because he did not abide by any rules.

[@charlesbowman129]

Hartman would start his attack from 5,000 meters above the enemy. He stated that he believed 95% of his victims never knew he was there. He also would get extremely close before opening fire. This tactic resulted in him having to bail out thirteen times because his plane was damaged from debris. Although he was proficient in combat maneuvering, he was not a fan of the turn and burn fight. His tactics were hardly revolutionary. He was smart, savvy, and aggressive. His strategy was dive down from above, shoot the enemy down, climb up and do it all over again. This was the same tactic Claire Chenault taught the Flying Tigers to use, with great success, against the Zero. It is the same tactic used by Naval aviators in the Pacific as it played to the strength of their aircraft. Don't fight the other guys fight. Same mindset used by the British in the Falklands campaign.

[@johnLA1961]

I hope you don't drive on public roads.

[@TonymanCS]

You nuts? MiG-29 were only given to elite East German squadrons (24 MiG-29 vs over 300 MiG-21/MiG-23 for the rest of AF) while most American squadrons that took part in the simulation were greenies. 510th FS that was the first to fight MiGs was a reactivated unit since 1979 with no previous combat record since its reactivation until 1993 when it didn't get into any air combat. VFA-106, the first Hornet unit to meet MiGs, is a downright training units mostly consisting of student pilots. And Top Gun is a name for a NAVY program, not USAF. What kind of maneuver couldn't East German use? Cobra? And how's possible USAF pilots were mostly restricted to WVR fight?

[@jerrysweet8202]

Let me guess, your german?

[@Clavier35]

This is not at all a proof of superiority from F 18 vs Mig 29..... I should have enjoyed a more credible video like the one of the Rafale against Raptor...

[@michaelsnyder3871]

Except that the primary tactic of an F-22A is to use stealth and multi-frequency, low aperture radar, digital data link w/E-3C and BVR missiles (AIM-120A) to kill opponents outside their engagement envelopes. So the Rafales would never get close enough to dogfight.

[@TonymanCS]

You mean that F-22 that had to bear Lunenberg lenses to make it at least a little bit visible to Rafale radar? Even tho Rafale failed to lock into Raptor several times at close range?

[@diomedecassar2244]

Actually in this particular drill the Mig 29's of the Luftwaffe trashed the US Hornets scoring almost twice as many kills as the US fighter aircraft. This led the US to rethink their dog fighting techniques and apply adjustments to the Hornet to make it able to overcome the Migs. However it needs to be stressed that in this particular match up the German pilots showed better fighting skills than their US counterparts.
