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.

Rafale vs Gripen, it'd be cool to see you revisit the fight

Can you pls link the end song?

[@tmytyson]

Battle of the Canards: A dogfight battle royale featuring (at a minimum) the Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, JAS39 Gripen, and SU30SM Flanker-H. May the best 'nard win.

[@mravocadude4031]

Genuinely one of the prettiest dogfights of all time. The whole thing was a beautiful dance between two fighters.

[@truthseeker9454]

Agreed -- aerial ballet.

[@jlight7346]

Bet it wouldn’t feel that pretty for the pilots lol. Staying under constant Gs like that for ~10 minutes would be hell.

[@Pyreax865]

Yeah, unlike an F-22 dogfight where it’s a one sided ballet ass-whooping

One of the best in the world actually, even beat an F22 once

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

@@ludo6550 mainly because the F-22 lost sight of the Rafale.

[@StudSupreme]

@@ludo6550 Do you know if the French AF has any plans to do something like what Russia did with the Su-27, with years of upgrades and enhancements eventually leading to the Su-30, 33, 34, 35 and 37? It just seems like the Rafale is a great place to start to make faster, more maneuverable and stealthier warplanes.

[@hmmjedi]

For those who want to know Rafale users are as follows French Air and Space Force, French Navy, Egypt, Qatar, India and Greece. Future Operators Croatia, Indonesia and United Arab Emirates. Great dogfight and video...

[@alexturnqest6202]

Wait. France as space force like the US? Waaat

[@traviswalker8933]

Saudi Arabia is also a potential future operator.

An entire video dedicated to a single round of dogfighting... That is one epic showdown! The Rafale and Flanker are both beautifull in this. Like Ballerina's showing their moves in a display of aerial passion.

[@MrZackykratos]

Both beautiful ladies. Probably the best looking 4th gen fighters! (Or at least they are, imo...)

Or... two dancers of flamenco, if you know what i mean.

[@felixgalle699]

That was the best dogfights ever. Well done Sukhoi for producing that beast. Well done Rafale, a gallant fight.

[@darwinism8181]

I will never get over just how aesthetically pleasing the Flanker is. The body shape, the angled intakes, everything about it is just... goddamn.

[@satcom6]

Dogfights where the aircraft are on the edge of what is considered flight/falling is always impressive in my opinion.

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

This turned into an accidental airshow!!

[@maitreytelang2312]

Hey GS, as usual great video. As you’ve done a video in a Flanker today, could you please do a video with the Su-30MKI Vs the Rafale.

[@NicNac723]

Dude, I’ve watched your videos going on 4 years and I can say with complete confidence this is one of the best dogfights you’ve done to date!! Seriously, both Flanker / Rafale and you / Toxic are so evenly matched! It made for a fantastic watch!

[@bitmanagent67]

Best dogfight ever. Very evenly matched. Kudos to Toxic and GS

[@shyneus9773]

9 minute round 1, incredible. A wonderful watch as always

[@GimmeDaBacon]

Crazy how they’re so closely matched in a dogfight

[@ArkhBaegor]

Cobras like it's nothing, differential thrust for a shot... Man, you're really on a different level

[@mynewcolour]

Loving this channel rn. Dogfight and Mission content are both great for different reasons. Love the longer, deeper missions for the immersive nature. The dogfights are interesting because I usually learn something nerdy 😂

[@silentotto5099]

It would be fascinating to see a similar commentary from the other pilot in this duel.

[@crispybacon6626]

Absolutely breathtaking! the best display of air combat. What I love the most is how clean these videos are, coming from not knowing anything about dogfights this is always a pleasure constantly learning, what is cool is how calm he is as he explains exactly what is happening.

[@chinchillaintheheat2641]

I'd love to see GS do a flanker series, just pushing it to it's limit in every and all scenarios.

One of the best fights I think I've seen so far on this channel. Absolutely insane. 👌

[@most_sane_piano_enthusiast]

One could probably write a book about that fight. That was art.

[@Gargoloso]

It was amazing!!!! This is really how taking the planes to the limit looks like. Pure skill. Great work by both pilots. And nice practical use of the Cobra button while managing energy at the same time. This fight deserved some third-person TacView debriefieng.

1:02 TOXIC is flying the Rafale...?? 😳 Oh hell, I know already this is going to be a good fight

[@steve9636]

Great vid, love the commentary on the action & how you explain stuff.

[@Detlastriker]

I wonder what was/is the reason a lot of the European fighters are Delta Wing configured.

[@Averagecartilistener]

To give them really good manoeuvrability. For the Eurofighter the delta wing allows it to be sort of stealthy

[@delfinenteddyson9865]

I think it allows to get your nose on target faster in a one circle, so you shoot your missile first

[@realitysux_0128]

GS, you’re a beast in pretty much anything you fly. I have to say tho, Toxic is definitely improving in his flying. Great vid as always. Keep’em coming bro🤙🏽

Always enjoy watching these knife fights in phone booths confrontations.

[@libra9381]

They are remarkably even. . . Daang what a beautiful dance.

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

How different would this fight be, if it was an SU-35? I've seen both aircraft, admittedly only at airshows, but the manoeuvrability of the SU-35 was insane! Probably very difficult at the moment, but would recommend going to MAKS to any aviation enthusiast!

[@rowan5690]

Well, the nazi russian Su-35 is definitely agile. But I doubt the combat capabilities of anything hyped up by nazi russia

[@aldobernard9310]

OMG!! Thankk youu!!!

[@defdaz]

Such skill from both pilots. Great fight, both!

[@satcom6]

Love the Rafale. May not be in the spotlight like 5th gen stealth aircraft around the world, but in my opinion, a beautiful and capable plane that should not be underestimated. Hopefully France continues to improve it and build off of its platform. Arguably one of the best modern fighters developed in its time. Id love to see what GS could do with the Rafale (delta wing aircraft not seeming to be his prefered aircraft admittedly, but would be interesting). Beautiful flying by Toxic here btw. Utilized his aircraft very well. Being able to turn a dogfight into a battle of endurance is a clear sign that both pilots knew how to utilize their aircraft. (of course it could also bo that they are both just absolute baboons flying planes but that typically not the case, usually at least one pilot knows what they are doing and so an endurance match is likely the product of 2 experienced/ skilled pilots. As is the case here). Thanks for the video!

[@RT42069]

Day one of asking for F-15E vs MiG-31 both bvr (which both excel at) and bfm (which both suck at)
