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.

​@@Regolith86But the explosion gave the 9x a bigger target to track

[@MaddoxLyrics]

@@mr.mastermind4840 it was still a straight shot. it was going to hit, it already had a track before the archer exploded, and if the archer came off the wing it would have had to loop around to kill the Raptor, which is possible but unlikely with the stealth, a loop around shot is already rare as it is, lets just call a spade a spade

[@nachooooo7019]

Felt like the F22 was close and jamming that wez enough that the Archer had no way of tracking it anyway even if it would have come off the rails properly.

[@seniorspaz8754]

Dude that burner cooked the nose of that final AMRAAM. Thats the only reason I can think of for it not proxying on him haha

[@JozMkII]

That last AMRAAM, oh man. I was like “Are you s******* me??” Last time I saw something like that was in your F-14 vs F-15 BVR fight from several years ago, when one of your Phoenixes came within FEET of the F-15’s tail before it finally ran out of energy and the F-15 pulled away from it.

[@joshsafar5556]

I love the BVR fights that end up going to the merge. To me, there’s a sense of 🫡 when both pilots are skilled enough to make it there which makes the dogfight weigh more no matter who wins. That being said I could’ve swore I saw ‘Harbor freight’ on the side of that fox 2

[@adamkieffer6827]

Props to ANVIL - he flew really well. He pulled a GS on GS. We need a re-match of this from the merge and see how it would have ended. Definite let down at the end.

Bro it just shows how REAL life can go. Equipment does not always function properly and things like this happen.

[@xanderwusky3001]

@@Kiwi_FIFOin this case I highly doubt the missile would have missed. You can see that too by the almost immediate hit from the 9x. In that time the plane wouldn’t really have slowed down yet and not been segnificantly more easy to hit. It might be easier to see for the seeker but the 9x wouldn’t have trouble in this aspect anyway. Basically I’m 99% sure that missile would have hit no matter what.

[@bojack9737]

@@xanderwusky3001Definitely not, it would’ve missed because of the su35 turning hard but when his missile exploded he stopped turning letting the missile hit.

[@jedibusiness789]

The OODA Loop was all about teaching fighter pilots how to deal with uncertainty. He stated that often, in confusing situations, we get stuck in how we think things ought to be, instead of staying focused on what is really happening. His advice was to “fight the enemy, not the terrain” as a reminder to stay focused on the situation at hand. John Boyd

[@kainofpride2893]

I'd like to see you fly the f-35 more. No one can doubt the Raptor's capabilities, but if the 35 is also 5th gen, how does it compare in a flight on dcs. Does it defend better or worse? It's supposed to be a multirole, does it work well at that job? I they'd be fun to watch

[@MarginalSC]

F-35's not very well represented in DCS. It's missing a lot of its capabilities...

[@riskinhos]

better or worse? seriously?

[@drksideofthewal]

@@MarginalSC If the F-35 were accurately represented it would have nearly the same stealth as the Raptor, but with better radar and IRST. I've also heard that it's way more maneuverable than people think.

[@MarginalSC]

@drksideofthewal Also, can fire missiles at 90 degrees, which makes its turn rate not as important.

[@M167A1]

​@@drksideofthewal The Raptor pilots are pretty contemptuous of the 35. I know they're a problem if properly fed information but if they're by themselves or knocked out of the data link they are supposedly about as challenging as a mid-70s Datsun pickup.

The engine sounds are a thing to behold. It must be a truly glorious thing to be a pilot of such aircraft.

[@Yoitschase]

HOW did that missile miss wowowow

[@darkphoenix2]

That was some good buildup, an intense few seconds when the merge happened...and then that ending lol Why would that happen though? You said you've seen it with Flankers but didn't explain why it would be a common problem. Also, that final AMRAAM was nuts. Looked like it was barely moving but still keeping up with the Flanker.

[@tando6266]

I feel like there is an experiment on if you should notch with stealth. Is doubling or tripling your radar signature by turning side on worth it vs just turning radar off

[@truthseeker9454]

That was well fought on the part of both pilots -- kudos to Anvil -- another great video! It looked to me like the Flanker was going to eat that 9X either way, but it would have been interesting to see what his Archer would have done if it had cleared the rail. It would have had to see the Raptor, sporting its Ray Ban coating, and make a heck of a high G turn. Maybe a rematch sometime?

[@scottphilippi2743]

Based on that angle of the Flanker his missile would have missed you anyways.

By far thee best fight I have seen!!!! Awesome flying fellas!!

[@jamesburrell677]

Your dogfighting skills are stunning, enigmatic and functional. You let him swing at air until he depleted himself and swept in and sniped him.

[@LimitlessAir]

The reason it detonated was because it was gong for a off bore shot and before it fully launched it turned into itself and it ignited because of impact on the lower end of the wing

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

To avoid this missiles have checks and balances, one of the most common ones is that a missile will fly straight off the rail and THEN turn; For this exact reason. Missiles don’t just turn off the rail, many many aircraft would be destroying themselves if this was the case. the archer missile has demonstrated this in many videos so I find it hard to believe that this is what happened here.

[@LimitlessAir]

Thanks for the brief that makes sense

[@erasmus_locke]

I propose that in all future videos or an F-22 fights a non stealth opponent you go guns only.

[@KillerKev1961]

[@Ankhobo]

I'm actually curious if that archer would have tracked if it didn't explode on his wing, but then again it didn't look like the flanker had the angle on you, especially since you were head on.

[@Lucas-ys7gl]

The slow-mo shows GD was already “inside” his turn and would have crossed behind the bandit. The archer would’ve had to do a 270 or better to hit.

It seems like missiles are defeated quite easily just by a quick little turn at range.

[@Triggatra4258]

Not TOO hard to make a missile lose track at long distance with changes in your altitude, speed, you can also notch it, turn on jammer, turn OFF your own radar system or terrain mask. MANY ways to defeat even the most advanced A-A weapons.

[@edwardjohansson2909]

In the F-22, yes

I don't know a lot but am fascinated by military aircraft. Is there a reason when in these scenarios you can be seen from so far away, but in the videos where you're escorting in bombers or whatever, they usually have no idea you are there in the f22? your vids are awesome!

[@andrewbrown1313]

A battle which might be interesting is a f-22 vs. a f-86. I say this as the f-22 relies on stealth to hide from it's enemies but the f-86 doesn't have a search radar so it relies on the pilots vision to locate an enemy. I do believe that in terms of raw power the f-86 would be greatly outclassed but the f-86 is designed for subsonic maneuvering and visual target identification and gun kills.

Who knows? Possibly. Depends on a lot of factors. Mostly the SU-35's flight profile. Eg; was the 35 at a good enough AOA(angle of attack" for the HOB(high off boresight) capability to work?

[@the-lag-gamerita5446]
