Great show. Would be good to see you take the underdog position in the JF-17 and watch you make it dance :)

[@joeclaridy]

GS is the Thunder basically a cheaper Chinese-Pak knock off of the Falcon? P.S. I have always wondered were did you get your intro for your videos from?

[@roguesnipergaming-dylanses8714]

GS: He can't use fox 2s so I'll nose counter. Opponent: And I took that personally.

GS: It’s an all guns fight … JF: That’s not what i heard 😳

[@profo4544]

The JF-17 has more modern avionics in some regards, however, you pay forwhat you get in the F-16. Block 2 JF-17 is an 8g, Mach 1.6 jet while the F-16C Block 52 is a 9g Mach 2.1 jet. The F-16 boasts a MUCH better thrust to weight, sustained turn rate, and payload capacity. The JF-17 block 3 will put it on par with the F-16, while at a much lower cost. It is also important to note that F-16s are easily upgraded with the latest gadgets like AESA radars and IRST. Just because the F-16 is old doesn't mean it's outdated. They are both 4th gen airplanes being upgraded to 4+ gen.

[@meinhaj]

Thanks so much GS, I remember I requested this from you and you are kind enough to oblige. Really wanted to see what these two planes could do against each other, as the JF-17 was designed based on the F-16 but without an equivalent powerful engine available they had to improvise.

[@shrugs3233]

The f-16s gun is so satisfying, you pull the trigger and you don't see anything until they just light up.

[@The_Original_Brad_Miller]

@Garoni will save it And I'm just the opposite. I enjoy the tracers especially when you're in a hard turn and they are arcing out there hard, Takes all kinds I guess. 😁

[@shoaib3036]

I am Pakistani I have some friends in PAF. They say Maintenance and reliability of F16 is unmatched although they admit that Jf 17 latest block 3 matches F 16MLUs performance in terms of avionics and electronics. Nice to see your video. Are these both aircraft in the same markings???

[@retardmoguss]

Yeah they are in the same markings of PAF

[@sourabhgupta4853]

PAF is using older version of F-16s and even latest block 3 model of jf-17 can not replace f-16 as they are superior in almost all aspects.

[@retardmoguss]

@@sourabhgupta4853 I think they have some F-16 Block 50s and 52s as well if I am not mistaken. That being said all the F-16 in Pakistani Airforce are very capable which goes without saying. The older ones are more agile iirc

[@retardmoguss]

@@sourabhgupta4853 the JF-17 Block 3 has much better radar than the older F-16 so even if it can't replace, it doesnt mean its inferior

[@mralive9360]

Jf17 was designed to replace aging f7 and mirages it is supposed to be a cost effective cheap cost and cheap to maintain fighter and it's alot cheaper than a new f16

[@Vanessaira-Retro]

GS: " I'm going to nose counter and frustrate him." JF-17 Pilot: "Yeah, cool story bro, FOX 2!!!"

Holy hell that move around 3:56 was pretty nutty.

[@RaderizDorret]

GS was on the wrong end of a similar maneuver when he took the JF-17 against an F-15. It shows up in his Moments of Death Compilations, complete with goat scream as it points its nose and shoots him in the face.

Hi GS! Personally I would really like to see a dogfighting tutorial. For me personally I would love to see the F16 but it would also be awesome if it was in general. You absolutly don't need to do this but I would love to see it. Thanks for all your videos man! They're awesome and you're awesome!

[@elijahsajeel7896]

[@saqibnadeem8479]

Gunfight in a Jeff doesn’t make much of a sense when u know it’s not for air to air role, you explained it really well and F 16 got better engine with better thrust to weight ratio as well.

[@RazerTheDuck]

I think the Viper had it real easy in this video. The gun on the JF-17 is really a piece of shit.

[@larrysteve7272]

That fox 2 kill reminded me of that Mirage 2000 Mig-29 dog fight video where GS was trying all sorts of Maneuvers to avoid guns just to get slapped with a fox 2

Id recommend that you play 4rounds instead of 5, 2as F16 and the other 2 as JF17, so we know its you not ze plane.

The JF-17 looks like the illegitimate child of an F-16 and the F-20 Tigershark.

[@astonmartinzz]

Watching you flex your defensive muscles in a disadvantage situation was very nice to watch. How fast your training came back to keep him off you while you flew his fight and still overcame is impressive. It would be cool to see you in a conversation with some pilots from agressor squadrons here in the States. See how fast they offer you a sim instructor position!

[@speedbirdmuc5182]

Thank you Growling, you are the best! 🙏🤙

[@bukhariali71]

Rudder is your best friend when flying the JF17. If slow, it can do some crazy Hornet like stuff with the rudder. Have to time. It right and flip the nose right on the bandit.

If GS pilots Jeff, results will be different I BELIEVE! afterall, it's all about the man behind machine. Nice video friend. Loves and respects from Pakistan. And my request is "J10-C vs Rafael" (5 vs 5). Thanks!!!

[@qiyuxuan9437]

The guns on Jeff is very very hard to use, so probably not....Unlike F-16, JF-17 is really not designed to do guns only dogfight, only fox2 dogfight.

[@najabatkamal]

@@qiyuxuan9437 That's true.

[@victorshikhman]

I've always wondered... are the F-16 or other jets able to aim the gun within some narrow band? So, you'd point the nose, get him in the hud, and within some tenths of one degree through the effective range, the guns can adjust to give you a little more accuracy. Or is raw nose position the only way to "aim" guns? I always thought it was the latter, but in some of these videos, it seems like you shouldn't be able to hit him through nose position and still do, as though there is some mechanical adjustment of the gun besides raw nose position. Maybe you could give us a class in using guns on a western fighter like F-16, understanding the HUD elements, etc.

[@RR-us2kp]

Gun is fixed. But the radar gives a solution to shoot depending on the distance to target. At least that's how the f18 works. Pretty sure f16 is same

We Pakistanis have unconditional love for the Viper...its symbol of power and agility for us in pakistan if someone want to show the speed, power and agility even for his motorbike he would write F 16 on it😂😍 even i saw a horse name as F 16...

[@musaratjahan7954]

Makes sense. The Viper is a really fast and agile beast

[@silasira23]

Is the reason you said "oops" after the first kill because IRL dog fights are respected by both pilots and the goal is to knock out the plane more than the pilot? I always wondered if there was a mutual respect between two opposing pilots in a dogfight 🤔

[@Jr-uh2so]

I thought he went to fox2 cause he was out of rounds. Haha. Those were some legit disco moves!

[@thepilotman5378]

If you look at it for long enough, the jf-17 just looks like a F-5E or F-20 with bigger leading edge extensions, it's very aerodynamically simple compared to an F-16 or F-15

[@hamidselectronics4863]

I think that the gun in Thunder was angled for ground targets, i don't know exactly. Because I saw may events and programe on TV in which the Jeff stikes ground target with gun precisely.

Yes, that’s what I say in the video
