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.

[@OACustom]

I'm sure you probably already know this, but the Swedes were the ones who actually invented the cobra maneuver in the Saab J35 Draken.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

correct, for anyone who doesn't know who might be reading this comment..."During the early 1960s, the maneuver was developed and performed by Swedish pilots flying the Saab 35 fighter jet. It was invented during training for recovery from super stalls, also known as deep stalls to which the double delta tailless design of the Saab 35 is susceptible."

[@camaradeKC]

@@GrowlingSidewinder then they started using it as a dogfighting maneuver in the vigen you have clips that shows a vigen cobra to get into another vigen six

[@user-fw5no1kj5t]

The j35 is one of the most maneuverable aircraft ever, it makes a flanker look slow(at certain speed).

[@cshan2313]

Is it just me, or did that Flanker pulled a differential thrust cobra to get the nose on target for gun kill?

[@GeorgeCee]

It seems like the missile logic on the Iris T could come back to bite the Gripen that launched it.

[@victoroduarte]

I believe that the missile registers the thermal signature of the initial target and its position, that's why it is able to return to the old target, this makes it practically impossible for it to hit the aircraft that shot even more so that the thermal signature of a Flanker will be different from a GripenGripen, because of the two engines vs one There are certainly other factors that must guarantee safety to prevent the missile from returning against the aircraft itself, but I don't know how to stipulate about them

[@sirethanthegreat4069]

From what I've seen in this video, the Gripen has shown to me that it's a very dangerous fighter for opponents. In my opinion, this aircraft matches some of the high tech USAF and USN aircraft such as the F-15, F16, F-18, and maybe even the F-22, in a dogfight that is. Also, amazing video GS! You inspire me everyday to keep my goal of becoming a fighter pilot. Keep up the great work!

[@dreaminknight]

There is a reason why the Gripen didnt perform against the F-35, Eurofighter, Rafale and the F-18E/F in the recent evaluations (e.g. Switzerland and Finland).

[@ghostviggen]

@@dreaminknight Because Gripen E wasn’t finished with A2G development at the time of the testing. Gripen C can dogfight any of those fighters.

@@ghostviggen Also US made parts, which they export restricted to take the Gripen out of competition in some of them.

[@johanlassen6448]

@@dreaminknight While I will be the first to admit that Gripen is overrated, I would not think that was necessarily due to poor dogfighting ability. With HMD and HOBS it should be able to match those fighters. BVR is of course a different matter where its weak radar would put the Gripen at a disadvantage (and hopeless against F-22).

[@ThorSuzuki1]

Thailand's Gripens up against various Chinese fighters including flankers showed that it was evenly matched in dogfights- but in BVR the Gripen absolutely shredded the flankers.

[@ChristopherBergsten]

Thailand has Gripen C/D, lets not confuse the matching of different models. You can't say that Gripen was evenly matched with anyone without stating what model, it gives no inclination of anything. It's like comparing an F15 from 1972 with an F35 without saying that it is an older model. Having that said, I would argue that BVR is where it's at with the next gen fighters generally speaking. F35 was not really made for dogfights either etc.
