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.

[@chakflying1]

14:25 Apparently the JF-17 canopy is stronger than the Su-30 nose cone 😂

[@TheReaperHunter]

I can see that. Nose cones are typically just REALLY THIN sheet metal that protects the radar dish from wind force.

[@rickdubbink]

​@@TheReaperHunter isn't it mostly composites?

[@tacticaltanny27]

@@rickdubbink yes

[@heatblast876]

Hey kid, don't be idiot, the nose cone of the aircraft is a thin metal sheet that makes the aircraft more aerodynamic to cut the air speed, also makes the aircraft more speed and vulnerable, even that it also protect the aircraft radar which is important, while the aircraft canopy is a protective glass which is made up of bullet or blast proof glass that can withstand the ammunitions rounds upto 9mm to 12.7mm, not more than that, while the 20mm to 30mm, can break or rip the canopy apart easily and definitely kill the pilot. Have a nice day. Also, the SU 30 wins the last round. The JF 17 cannot fly when it crashes towards the SU30 nose cone, and still, the SU30 is flying properly, but not little perfectly.

@Growling Sidewinder There is a bug when you use the uncaged seeker of the PL-5E on a target locked by radar. The PL-5 may never lock in this case. Unfortunately uncaging is the only way to slave the IR seeker to the radar. So yes, the PL-5Es are currently quite useless in a dogfight.

[@electric_boogaloo496]

I think its just the preference of the plane manufacturer. Dassault likes the 30mm. US manufacturers like the 20, they put the M61 vulcan on everything. Including the F 18, which is definitely one circle fighter.

[@Irskin]

@@electric_boogaloo496 it's certainly not the sole explanation for choice of gun caliber, but I'd be willing to bet that it does factor into the selection philosophy much of the time. Russia did switch from 23mm to 30mm guns when they introduced the MiG-29 and Su-27 series to start replacing the earlier, generally less agile MiGs and Sukhois.

[@hphp31416]

I think it's mostly Americans still using smaller callibre, in ww2 everyone had 20mm or even 30mm at the end but USA had 12,7mm, then in Korea they switched to 20mm but other countries were using 30mm or even 37mm, afterwards 30mm was standard on all not American fighters

Just an minute ago I was browsing through looking if you uploaded another Jeff vid and voila, you didn't disappoint

[@HaroldDVasquezLopez]

Great vid, GS should do a latino series, where he features aircraft from Latin American airforces. I believe Argentina 🇦🇷 shouldn’t get t his JF17 plane, which seems to kinda suck even in DCS hehe save for BVR but thats something else, Argentina’s air force deserves so much better…it’d say our air force here in Peru 🇵🇪 , ought to get in touch with the Argentinean air force and figure out a deal with France 🇫🇷 to buy more mirage 2000 in our case, and some for y’all, and at the same time talk to all countries that are Mirage 2000 operators, just like Taiwan, Greece, and India, and fuckin’ upgrade the hell outta it, maybe even possibly with Dassult’s and France’s approval. The mirage 2000 such a great plane, far better platform, worth keeping in the air, instead of this Chinese adventure of a plane…vibes from Peru. 🙌🏻

[@8000jk]

Agreed, the Mirage 2000 is such a potent platform. Also, there have been upgrades in some countries, for example India. Since the JF-17 was offered for production in Argentina, maybe the Mirage 2000 could also be produced in Argentina.

[@HaroldDVasquezLopez]

@@8000jk yeap, or even down here in Peru, where 12 mirages don’t really cut it, hopefully someone in both governments, Peruvian and Argentinean, see our comments and figure that joining the Mirage 2000 users family and maybe even all working together to keep this bird in the air, may be a wise choice in this troubled future ahead of us

The jeff is my baby in modern stuff. It makes me sad that its weapons fail the airframe as it can hang in the one circle with an F18 and is one of the better 2 circle fighters behind the f16. It SHOULD be good and they effed it up lol

[@Anagh1701]

There's a reason why you engage flankers from a distance unless flying a supermaneuverable fighter, especially if the flanker is as well kept as the indian ones

[@darkphoenix2]

You look at the two corrections that missile had to make at 6:08...I wonder how many Gs those turns were

[@KingMen1Force]

The first ones maybe up to 10g and the last one could have been around 15g , it didn't get fast enough to do more.

It's a testament to your skills that the Jeff17 was even competitive at times against the Flanker. Do more of these, please! Love from India..

[@greybuckleton]

Great gun shots from the Flanker pilot. Probably not worth lobbing those low Pk IR shots. The last fox 2 is worth 3 times as much as the first, because as long as they have HOBBS missiles it effects how you are able to fly.

[@Deathbomb9]

GS - Fox3×2 "Im gonna give him two, but I don't think I'm gonna get that lucky." Flanker pilot eats both missiles.

[@broaderpower]

The only way to get a gun kill with the jeff is to either outrate a target who gets really slow or, the better strat, get in a one circle trying to slow the enemy down and then abuse the jeffs AOA to get them to cross your nose

[@CounterfeitDuck]

The 30mm came to replace both 23mm gun against fighters and 37mm against heavy aircraft and light armour. Unification.

[@Nani-bg1rs]

you cannot really beat the Su-30 with its fancy super manuvourability in a one circle unless you are in a raptor or something. Further the fully loaded jeff already has a horrible thrust to weight ratio, this problem has been fixed in the block 3 with the RD-93 MA engines and use of more composite materials. Further the blk-3 has the helmet mounted queuing system from the J-20 to fully use the sd-10s high off bore sight capability, pracitally hitting targets at 90°. Also the PAF dosen't have the export variant, we manufacture the SD-10 under license at kamra. It's just called "E" to differentiate, its also called SD-10 P (Pakistan) on many documents. The blk 2 and obv blk 3 ca eat the MKI in long range BVR battles speiallu with the PL-15 :)

[@johnl6973]

Seeing these make me wonder why they didn't engineer the gun to sweep up and down in a different configuration for air to air and air to ground. The technology for that isn't that complicated

[@subjectc7505]

It's pretty complicated, it's not that simple without effecting something

[@johnl6973]

@@subjectc7505 i mean, it's not something that could be thrown together in a garage haha... That said, we've seen planes like the Tomcat with variable swept wings. It's definitely possible to build a motor/mechanism to pivot a gun with a high degree of precision. On the software side, it's just a matter of changing the ballistics calculations for the radar gunsight in AA configuration. In all, it probably would've been one of the cheapest parts of designing the aircraft tbh

[@sniper_elite3853]

There are gunpods that can aim down, making internal gun tgat can aim up/down would be pointless waste of weight and space

[@johnl6973]

@@sniper_elite3853 I'm not sure I'm following. The internal gun is what's angled down 8°... Are you saying to have the internal with no downward angle and a gunpod put on for air to ground missions? I understand the logic there, it's just the choice between the mechanical complexity vs the extra weight

[@hphp31416]

jf17 gun is below fuselage, to aim it up you would have to put it on top but then also move it to side to avoid canopy, to much trouble for super rare gunfights

Indian Flanker Su-30 MKI is quit Unique in world. That thing, Equipped with Israli Electronic warfare suite, Frech HeadsUp display, Indian Avionics, India-French-Israli missiles and bombs. That thing comes with Super Manuverable vector control as russian in origin for dogfights and for BVR fights it is hybrid of french, Indian, Isreali capabilities.
