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.

I only see you dropping flares. Isn't the SA13 firing radar guided missiles? Also, why are the surface to air missiles so much easier to defeat that air to air missiles?

[@vincentvoncarnap]

@@ryanomac27 The SA13 is firing IR guided missiles, but uses a radar for target detection. Like how you would use the radar in a F16 to slew the AIM9 seeker onto a target. Hope this helps.

[@ryanomac27]

@@vincentvoncarnap Ahh, makes sense. I guess this also accounts for the relatively short range as well. What not just use optical tracking to "point" the missile as well, or some sort of IRST? Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

[@benn454]

@@wurfyy Hardly. His tracks and wheels are most likely borked, making him a sitting duck for friendly ground forces. The crew got their bells rung, too. They're going to be concussed.

[@wurfyy]

@@benn454 Nope. If you put a hole through a wheel, it most likely won't care. Even if it does, it's just one wheel, the tank can do without that. You're unlikely to hit two, especially in such a way as to cause problems for both. If the tracks got hit from the side, that's a massive fluke. Even so, the projectile not only needs to hit it, but hit it dead center to not bounce off before doing enough damage. From any other direction the track just gets a 30mm hole in it and also won't care. The crew might be terrified, but not concussed. The 30mm is simply ineffective against tanks. This has been proven in several tests.

[@theflanman1986]

Those cluster munitions are pretty terrifying. I couldn’t imagine witnessing that in person .

It sure is. And while they both are death dealers... The AC130 Gunship is known as the Angel of Death. The A10's was our Guardian Angel. Knowing it was close by was a good feeling.

[@JonNo86]

I remember watching an episode of future weapons that explained those CBUs and I was in utter shock and awe. I can’t believe how well those are modeled in DCS! You can probably take out an entire armored brigade with a full flight of A-10’s full of those.

[@rhysgoodman7628]

Oh absolutely. About 12 CBUs per A-10. One CBU is forty tank-killing skeets. The only reason each vehicle was hit more than once in this video was because there were more skeets than vehicles! One CBU could theoretically destroy forty tanks. Emphasis on theoretically. Not in practice.

[@Shwobblywobbly]

CBU-97 are awesome, i love using them on the f-16 doing sead/dead runs. Tossing them on a S-300 site and killing nearly everything is a different kind of satisfaction.

[@winstonsmith7801]

The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that prohibits all use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of cluster bombs, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunitions ("bomblets") over an area.

Unsurprisingly, the US did not join this treaty, instead opting to make an environmentally friendly type of Cluster Munition, with the skeets automatically self-destructing when no target is found.

[@christopherdaub7451]

When I was in basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood we could see A-10s running circles over a training range climbing, diving, and doing strafing runs in pairs. It was quite a sight and very reassuring for those of who knew we were very likely to go overseas.

[@ItsMe-p2q]

The Navy use to have a weapon called the AIM-122, a short range HARM missile converted from old AIM-9C missiles which would have been perfect for the A-10, especially if if had a dual seeker and could be used as either anti-air, or anti-radiation.

[@immikeurnot]

SA-13 doesn't have a search or target radar, though.

[@aaron5270]

Thank you to any and all A-10 pilots. If a reverse uno card existed for a grunt in a gun fight, it would look like an A-10 on station.

[@Snoopyflyingace80]

The BLU-108s are able to impart spin on the skeets by the way of angled rocket motors on the PDB, hence why they pop up as they're throwing out the skeets. Not sure if it's modeled here, but an updated version of the skeets have an EFP center as well as scoring around the edge of the plate, resulting in a shotgun-like effect while the EFP is being formed upon detonation.

[@JesusFriedChrist]

I can only imagine the amount of morale boost a single hog can be for the boots in the ground. Imagine being a foot soldier and there’s a massive convoy of mounted enemy units headed your way, but by the time they get to you, most of them are already dead, your fight is minimized, and while you’re fighting the A-10 is continuing to pummel them from above, and you both go at it until there’s nothing left to shoot at. Imagine the horror the opfor would feel from having their attacking force be completely annihilated. There has been debate about the A-10 being decommissioned and replaced, but no other American aircraft made yet can truly fulfill the niche that the warthog fills. The loiter time. The amount of armament. The survivability. The sheer brute strength of the brrrrrrrrrt. The only justifiable reason to decommission the current fleet of A-10s would be to have new ones built, or a new design that improves on the current design built in place of new A-10s.
