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.

Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Longshot's Channel: kzbin.info/door/szke4C7G1THhlh0puHWZ1g Thanks for watching guys and what are your thoughts about Iranian acquiring the SU-35 ? they were talking about Su-30 and even J-10 at one point but I think everyone would agree Su-35 is the stronger option if they're allowed to get it, which to be honest, with the recent cooperation with Russia seems almost certain. Anyway would love to hear your guys thoughts. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one, Much Love.

F-14 Tomcat vs. Six - Ten MiG-28s. Or you could do MiG-21s.

[@tigereyewong9757]

The Su-35 "story so far" on Iran... Egypt ordered the Su-35SE because Russia doesn't impose certain restrictions like America does. eg: Egyptian F-16s are neutered to not being able to fire AIM-120 AMRAAM. Egyptians are reliant on AIM-7P Sparrows! (But neighboring Israeli F-16s get the full capability. Yeah, the Israel Lobby is powerful in USA.) ...The order was placed for the Su-35SE, planes were being made in Russia, and deliveries started happening. America was not happy (Su-35 poses a problem for Israel) and put political pressure on Egypt to cancel the Su-35 acquisition. The planes have been paid for, so what to do with them? Iran is looking to replace their F-4/F-5 era planes and eventually the F-14. The Su-35 is qualified to fire the R-37 and can carry 4 of them...Which is perfect for what Iran needs as a Tomcat/Phoenix replacement. So they made a bid for 24 of the former "Persian Flankers" (Su-35SE). If the deal goes through and Iran also gets the R-37 capability, then Israel will have a problem if they try to go after Iran's nuclear facilities with an air strike. Their F-35Is don't have the legs to reach the target without tanker support. Tankers are extremely vulnerable to a long range BVR weapon like the R-37.

[@CaptainBiggles.]

It would be interesting to see what a 2-circle really does in a fox-2 dogfight

[@rogerpennel1798]

Iran is trying to exploit a desperate Russia whose industry has collapsed. They are hoping to receive Sukhoi Su-35s and other weapons from Russia but Russia's long-term and short-term ability to deliver these weapons are doubtful. Because if the Russians are having trouble replacing their own losses how are they going to fulfill foreign orders? If the Iranians had any sense they should insist on local production under license but the Russians more than likely want to keep those jobs at home.

GS’s main weakness seems to be sometimes putting good nose down too much in fights, a frequent reluctance to opt for the flat scissors over the rolling scissors and over eagerness to descend towards the ground in rate fights.

[@idiedoof4339]

GS rate fights on the deck only because fighters usually rate better at low altitude. He also need to maintain speed for a rate fight which is why he dumps his nose.

Quite funny, there's a technique called "gutter run" in car racing, which improves cornering. Guess that dragging the wing into the ground is the aviation equivalent to that.

[@Durzo1259]

This is incredible. I expected another pointless F-22 fight where the other guy doesn't stand a chance; instead the SU-35 somehow out-performed the SU-57.

[@BerserkFury89]

That's because they did a dog fight. It was basically played in a way to give the SU-35 a chance by eliminating the major advantage the F-22 would have BVR. I understand why they did it though, it's no fun to see the other jet just get shot out of the sky without ever seeing who shot them.

[@dsdy1205]

A stealthy design generally doesn't play well with aerodynamics, even for something as rounded and organic-looking as the B2. I wouldn't be surprised if the Su 57 performs worse in BFM than the Su 37 purely due to its necessarily inferior aerodynamics. In most other respects the 2 planes are quite similar, and the 37 might also have the advantage in TWR, given all the avionics the 57 packs that it doesn't.

[@alphapesiesongs7102]

That was definately one of the craziest things I've ever seen on DCS. I would love to see more of Iranian Su-35!

[@tombaldwin328]

I love watching the two of you go head to head against each other. And seeing the F-22 struggle in a BFM fight just shows how much pilot skill factors into the win or loss of an engagement.

[@grudgebearer1404]

Nah, pilot skill.matters a lot less on real combat as the most efficient radars and most efficient missiles are what will dictate if the target at 100+ kilometers away will be hit or not and while there are maneuvers that help to hide the aircraft from the enemy those are common training in the entire world and nothing special for a specific ace pilot. In truth, natural resistance to passing out on high G turns may be way more important than the pilot skill per se when fleeing from a missile.

[@ghost.8445]

One thing to note, Longshot always put himself in the sun in the merge. It's a good tactic to make sure the 9x doesn't hit you even if you didn't jam the WEZ. Smart thinking by LS.

[@mr.mastermind4840]

[@TaGF_Tomcat]

It's always weird to me when I scroll down to the comments and pass the subscriber count. This channel sets a high production standard for itself, and that standard is met with every upload, so it's strange to see someone like GS with ~390k subs putting out videos with the quality and consistency of a channel with something more like 5M subscribers. Still, it's exciting to think about the potential for growth that this channel has, I hope it only expands from here so GS can introduce more people to DCS and give them content to enjoy.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

That’s a really nice comment thank you man, really appreciate the support.

[@DaryonGaming]

The sub count depends on the audience. The audience for something like dogfights in DCS isn't that high, so 390k is an achievement. Consider a low effort prank-react-epic-meme channel that appeals to the lowest common denominator and it's instant youtube success basically. Doesn't matter.

The Su-35’s radar may detect the F-35, but to detect the F-22 is much more difficult, it’s like searching for an ant in a city. It’s even much more difficult because the Raptor would detect the Su-35 first and due to its LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) radar, the Su-35’s RWR will not realize the F-22 has already fired on it.

It will be very stealthy, have variable cycle engines (for high supersonic "supercruise" capability), and able to fly manned and unmanned missions.

Not having a JHMCS in the raptor really is a disadvantage when you have similar performance characteristics. It’s that small thing that shows yes the raptor can dogfight but it’s not the priority people think it was, and because of how close the pilot sits to the canopy it’s not likely to happen

As a former intel analyst I just think you're see Iran get more bold as they are able to challenge the majority of U.S./Nato aircraft.

I wouldn't focus on how they'd stack up against the USA as much as how they'd stack up against Israel.

[@AtrueservantofAllah]

Did you know the su 35 has the best air-to-air kill ratio. Su 35 shot down many ukrainian jets

[@jofkuraaku]

Iranian Su-35 makes any potential air strikes against Iran tougher. For example, possible IAF strike against their nuclear capability, assuming IAF uses F-35I Adir ... IAF can probably still pull it off, given surprise and stealth. Against Iran's other neighbors, the Su-35 puts them back into competition against the growing F-15C/SA & other 4th gen fleets in the Gulf ... Saudis, Qatari ... The real de-stabilizing move is for Iran to acquire stealth aircraft, Su-57 or Su-75 from Russia, which would improve their offensive potential, depending on the relative quality of Russian stealth performance.

[@g.zoltan]

I think it could stack up in a defensive scenario, where the SU35 could avoid BVR by hiding in Iran's mountainous terrain. Assuming they can train their pilots well.

[@arnavsadhu]

Bro as that wing hits the ground u r already dead😂

[@swedhgemoni8092]

He made you work for your first two kills. Guy's a beast flying a beast.

[@chinazieswillstartww3253]

Nice video. This is what happen when two skilled pilots dogfight with their super manoeuvrable fighter jets

[@robbob9273]

It is good to see a karma check on the f22, hubris is the silent killer.

[@rangerrick8220]

Longshot is getting better!

[@edwardking186]

Great dogfight! (In my Undisputed movies Boyka voice) I actually thought the Raptor was gonna clean the skies of the Flanker E. I didn’t think it was gonna be a tie. Like Rooster said from the Top Gun Maverick movie, “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”

[@Maxus005]

That third round was the definition of bullshittery. Love it!

[@MrSourceMan]

That Raptors wing touching the ground was some anime shit.

[@peekaboo1575]

Awesome. The F22 finally gets the treatment it deserves. :^)

[@ferdeboergd256]

11:18 The fact that you had the time to think about which side the missile is going to shoot and that it will help with the attack is impressive. Also: props to Shotgun and his amazing skills

[@johnnytrongaming]

The second fox 2 made me jump a little bit. Was not expecting him to get that off.

[@BK-bh6gy]

The first fight! Hands down my favourite dogfight Yet! Awesome content!!

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

I think thats the fairest fight the F-22 has been in yet. Everything else is just bullying.

[@Ozires7]

It's worth remembering that the Su35 is vectorized, therefore it has maneuverability, it would be a lot of work for the F22!

[@MeanMachine1992]

Taking on a supermaneuverable fighter like the Su-35 in a dogfight amounts to playing russian roulette with a fully loaded gun, doesn't really matter if you are in an F-22. The whole point of stealth 5th Gens and BVR missiles coupled with a strong enough radar is to shoot the enemy out of the sky before he knows you are there.

[@Rattifant]

Exactly.

[@sana-cm7oc]

We need a rematch. This is a crazy dogfight.

[@erichvonzelewski]

Your videos are awesome, it's so good to see that one person make videos about Iranian jets Thanks mate

[@Sskysnake]

This is the first time someone has used the su 35 as I would expect it, but I have always thought that the 35 would be even closer to the performance of the 57. At least from what is shown in the air exhibitions

@@AtrueservantofAllah better than the f15c?

[@galicije83]

@@Sskysnake Well its not batter then F15, but for now it hase 25:0 K/D ratio....

[@wesammansour1486]

What's going on here??!! Never seen the mighty f-22 struggle so much!

[@Kazanko28]

I'm not a fighter pilot or anywhere close, but it seemed to me like GS was up against an opponent that knew his aircraft better than he did. Especially when he seemed to keep doing the same thing in the merge initially and it never seemed to work, and got him killed several times.

[@MrHeuvaladao]

So, it's really not the plane, but the pilot? 😮

[@toofon7850]

Love the SU-35 desert camo skin👌

[@swynty5767]

Really shows you what insane pilot skill can do that guy in the su35 is crazy

[@androidynamit]

damn that flat spin is pretty sick

[@QXZ9027MKII]

O'boy,, never thought that the F-22 will be forced to drag its wing on the ground. Props to both of you. god bless you both.

[@lightningxx]

Longshot is a great Flanker pilot

[@outlawamps96]

It would be interesting to see a rematch, but swap planes
