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.

You're getting close, now it's time for Battle of the Canards: a dogfight free-for-all featuring (at a minimum) the JAS39 Gripen, SU30SM Flanker-H, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Dassault Rafale. We have the technology!

[@BalvanKolbasukhin]

Su 35 vs su 30?

[@electricaviationchannelvid7863]

Your missiles performed way better than his…Those were not neutral merges by geometry, furthermore sometimes he was turning away from you after a plus-altitude-merge which is a strange tactic…

So true

[@viktorbihar5384]

@@commandergeokam2868 That's kinda the reason for such maneuverability. Those wings cover so much area, and it did very well against the f22. I think it was a tie.

These modern planes are really scary in a dogfight but it must look so cool from the ground to watch them dance.

[@ralfhtg1056]

I got the impression that the stripe in the Gripens canope is a bit of a problem.

[@Paveway-chan]

Gripen prefers to tagteam it with datalinks, sensor fusion and meteor strikes, while the Flanker is like the ogre ninja - it's massive, yet it still manages to sneak up behind you and then you're dead. Bit of a mismatch to put the Gripen in this situation but does demonstrate pretty well just how lethal the Su-30SM is in a knife fight

[@IonPerseus]

"Ogre ninja" yep, thanks for a brilliant idea for my next character in DnD

[@shlug]

As if flankers don't use data links and sensors 😏

[@harryaxe2480]

The SU-30SM is deadly not only in a “knife fight”, missiles of the latest modifications will be a big unpleasant surprise for opponents.....

[@Viper167]

Holy, Gripen those Sukhoi's

[@ColeDedhand]

The tactic of flying barely above a stall is perfect in a 1v1 where your opponent is not allowed bvr missiles and not allowed to fire Fox 2s until after the first turn. In the real world where your enemy brings Fox 3s and friends this doesn't work as well.

[@D00MerJohn]

Absolutely, in the real world you're going to be shooting a Fox 3 well before the merge. The only time you're going to get in a merge realistically is bouncing someone which is rare and maybe a 4v1 although it's likely you'll get smoked before making the merge.

[@Asghaad]

Essy way to solve abusing that nonsensical tactic would be to allow gun in initial merge, would force both pilots to come in with enough speed to not be a sitting duck in the opponents gunsight

[@AlexKall]

@@Asghaad or just have a set minimum merge speed.

[@Asghaad]

@@AlexKall that takes away the pilots agency - and oportunity to make mistakes - from the engagement because then both will come in at the set minimum speed. just allow gun to be used in the merge - sure it has its own drawbacks but would 100% prevent oponents coming to merge at near stall speeds to abuse theyr min turning radius in supermaneuverability "mode" also would kinda force them to not to come directly nose to nose AND would be far more ralistic because in real fight noone will be adhering to some "gentlemanly agreement" to not to shoot in a direct headon. Sure its 50/50, you dont like it hten dont merge in a way that makes you go nose to nose with the oponent

[@Juel92]

The Gripen did better than I expected. Imagine what one turn beast it would be with vectoring.

[@ghostviggen]

The problem with vectoring is that you burn energy. Making you an easy target for other fighters. Thai Gripen and Chinese trained against each other and Gripen had problems with dogfight 1v1 but the Su had problems with BVR combat scenarios.

[@PowerslideSWE]

@@ghostviggen And BVR is all that is ever gonna happen nowadays.

[@ghostviggen]

@@PowerslideSWE BVR or some type of Hybrid WVR/BVR fight seems to be the norm. But dogfights will still happen.

[@danieljonsson6230]

But something you cant measure is simplicity of the aircraft and the skill of the pilot. That will winn over better specs on paper.

[@AlexKall]

Or simply higher TWR would do wonders.

Can you do a SU30 vs SU35 or a SU30 VS SU57 dogfight ?

[@TheSerg2bob]

The main Su-35S fighter, with the most powerful radar in the world, is able to detect a 4th generation fighter at a distance of up to 400 kilometers, and launch an R-37M missile with the same range of destruction.

[@nobodyno6513]

1:33 bro turned you into a F-104 💀💀💀

[@Stumbler2001]

I think short-range missiles are getting so advanced & lethal that short-range dogfights will become a thing of the past. The highly maneuverable Flanker will have little advantage when the next generation of missiles will likely not even need to be pointing in the general direction of their target when launched.

[@Memyselfanddave2724]

Love the videos, maybe in the dogfight rules have an agreed merge speed and no change in course/speed until both players are passing each other? Felt like both were pre turning in anticipation

idk if this works but to avoid ejecting inverted in that situation try jamming the rudder in on the side u have a wing and use the stick to "roll in that same direction" it should reduce lift on ur functional wing and hopefully allow u to roll out of the inversion. Maybe in theory this works if u still have control.

I would try to find a way for mounting the iris-t or other, on the front rudders to get the missles better aimed towards a close target, orbiting arround.

[@christopherreed4723]

The modern dogfight with high off-bore missiles strikes me as very similar in concept to historic fencing with a longsword and no armor, what the German treatises called "bloßfechten" (literally, bare fencing, as in naked). Any opening, no matter how small, risks taking an incapacitating hit. Observe, maneuver, guard, and commit to that one strike when you have an opening. Afaik, the same dynamic applied to Japanese swordsmanship when no armor was worn. (In fact, taking that parallel to its extreme, a modern fighter jet could be compared to a Japanese warrior, unarmored, carrying a bow and sword. You *want* to be doing the balance of your work with the bow, the sword is a secondary, contingency weapon.)

[@VikingTeddy]

The U.S equivalent would then be a crossbowman hiding in the bushes :). A fat crossbowman...
