So in this video, we're doing a dogfight between an F-18 Hornet and an F-22 Raptor, its important to remember that the F-22 is simply a mod and doesnt represent the true capabilities of the F-22. We go for a 3 round dogfight in this one hope you guys enjoy the video. and thanks so much for the on going support.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Alex Riley thanks brother I appreciate ur support

[@KC98561]

The F-22 and F-35 wear radar reflector and amplifiers in peace time called "Luneburg lenses" that allow it to be seen by radar. If a combat situation were to happen these are removed and I believe they can be jettisoned by the pilot on the F-22, not sure about the F-35. Any training with foreign countries with the F-22 will have these lenses so that any attempt by a foreign power to gauge the planes true stealth will be impossible. Nice video! Great work in putting these videos out.

[@weasle2904]

yeah, which makes all the tests with Eurofighters null void. And iirc a lot of the time the F-22 has limited functionality, and reduced control.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thats a very interesting piece of information I did not know, thank you for sharing brother.

[@jasonosmond6896]

This is why the US doesn't want to sell F-35s to Turkey if they're going also going to buy Russian S-400 air defense systems: Turkey could then fly their F-35s *without* the Luneberg lenses against their S-400, and obtain extremely valuable information on how the F-35's stealth features would perform against its most dangerous adversary SAM, data which more likely than not would end up in the hands of the S-400's manufacturer.

[@hirumaryuei]

TBH just based on stated RCS of the F22, a Hornet should be able to pick it up inside visual, possibly slightly before.

[@stupidburp]

Yeah they are basically like bicycle reflectors for radar. Within visual range F-18 should be able to get a lock even without them.

[@avidgamer5676]

[@mickeyg7219]

F-22 has a better thrust-to-weight ratio than the Hornet though, and all the Raptor's weapons are internal, so it helps reduce drag as well, so of course, it's going to retain energy better unless it recently used thrust vectoring.

[@ionator2000ist]

I am waiting to see you fly theF-22 vs the Russian Pak Fa /T-50!

[@m3dicated]

Neither of them represents the real aircraft, since both are highly classified. But just for views? Eh.. maybe once.

[@THEQuantumBacon]

@@m3dicated Though at least the F-22 is a mod of a real aircraft. Any Pak Fa/T-50 mod would be a mod of propaganda material.

[@mississippirebel1409]

I'm not sure why you would want to see the Su-57 because the program was a total failure. All Russia managed to build was two prototypes that weren't capable of performing any combat missions. Also the Su-57 wasn't very stealthy, underpowered engines, and lacked the advanced senors and avionics that the F-22 and F-35 carry. Anyone can build a really super maneuverable fighter, but super maneuverability doesn't win air to air engagements in modern warfare anymore. The F-22 is the most manueverable and agile fighter in the world and that is the LEAST most impressive thing about the F-22!

[@damoldavsky]

​@@mississippirebel1409 not at all. 10 flying prototypes of Su-57 are built. There was also combat testing in Syria in 2018. Objectively, Su-57 is more maneuverable then F-22 because of Su-57's engines capability of changing vector thrust in 2 dimensions. Also, it's not possible to compare F-22 and Su in other characteristics like avionics and stealth capabilities objectively, because they are classified for both of the aircrafts. But in my opinion avionics of Su are better, just because F-22 was produced about 20 years ago.

Denis Moldavskiy but it will still be more advanced as Russia is over 20 years behind in this field

I believe in a real dogfight that the F-22 would always win against an F-18! Also if the pilot is any good!

[@jordananderson2728]

@Mars Exulte Eh, maybe with newer pilots. With the more experienced guys, the F-16 has to use burner and is pushed to its limits. “It’s not a matter of trying to kill him, but to see how long you can survive!” is a direct quote from a Viper pilot of the 56th FW.

[@hoghogwild]

@@jordananderson2728 You arent a fighter pilot if you arent using FULL BURNER on every engagement. Its not the top speed that is being sought with huge engine outputs, its the acceleration that comes with it that matters. Acceleration is so much more important than top speed.

[@jordananderson2728]

@@hoghogwild thank you for pointing out my gaffe. It has since been fixed. I will now take all my AR-47Ks off of full semiautomatic so that doesn't happen again. Also, you don't always want burner - with some maneuvers, that can actually get you killed.

[@hoghogwild]

@@jordananderson2728 "Also, you don't always want burner - with some maneuvers, that can actually get you killed." Yup, there was an American fighter pilot F-111/14/15 that was experiencing a single engine out situation and he remarked that he was hesitant to use A/B on the remaining engine as he didn't want to be confused with the multitude of single engine Iraqui aircraft in the area. Using the "jugs" makes your IR signature MASSIVE. My point was that there are many people that think using a/b is only for reaching a faster top speed, when in reality max a/b is used moreso for the huge acceleration it produces as most engagements occur at subsonic speeds.

[@smithnwesson990]

@Mars Exulte Unless i hear that from actual F16 red squadron pilots I take that with a grain of salt

[@SogenOkami]

The range an F-22 can be locked by radar varies by several factors including radar noise floor, amplitude, frequency, viewing angle, and the Raptor's control surfaces. As a general RULE OF THUMB, cuz I know someone is gonna jump in with semantics and try to look smart, the Raptor can be detected at about 10 miles by older 4th gen aircraft like the F\A-18C, while newer PESA radars from the SU-35 or Eurofighter can detect it at about 15 miles or so. But since most IR missiles have a range of 20+ miles, aircraft will likely use other cueing methods such as electro optical.

[@olekkuvppl]

The Rafale is unable to lock it up in bfm it only gets a lock from irst when f22 turns it's engines directly at it without that computer has really no idea where it is

[@CMDRSweeper]

@@olekkuvppl Well with the missiles the French employs, it really doesn't matter much either. They have really really short ranges compared to the rest of Europe, but the Rafale is also fairly hard to detect with old school radar.

Growling Sidewinder I do have to say, my love for the Hornet started when I went and watched Independence Day in ‘96. I’ve seen the Blue Angels four times. Never seen the Thunderbirds and I was in the AF. I always hear the Angels are a better show but, I always thought the ‘Birds would be better because of the F-16’s better maneuverability. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I'm actually pretty curious how bad that engine damage was for the F-22, and how accurate said effect was (since I remember you said its FM is probably pretty wonky). The turn-around into guns was pretty quick though, so maybe he just managed to make the most of what energy he still had and was still getting from the good engine to get that kill.

[@saxonsoldier67]

The pilot of the -22 in an above comment didn't notice any difference with one engine gone. He said he suspects the mod failed to account for an engine out.
