Mig-29S Fulcrum Vs F-5 Tiger Dogfight | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS |

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Check out the Merch Store: teespring.com/stores/growling-sidewinder-store Longshot's Channel: kzbin.info/door/szke4C7G1THhlh0puHWZ1g Really Enjoying the F-5 in DCS these Days and Love the Mig-29 as always, so this was a fun little video to make also really cool to see the huge impact it made in the world of dogfighting when the HOBS missiles were introduced. Now in the video I refer to the P5 and the R60 as rear aspect I should be more clear, they're technically all aspect but they have the best chance from a rear aspect. Thank you for watching and a Big thank you to Longshot for helping with this video.

So, the trick is, when going up against adversaries from foreign air forces that have the MiG-29 in their fleet. Contact them before a conflict starts and ask them not to use the R-73. I'm sure the Iranians would love to listen to our request. 😆

@@GrowlingSidewinder It's often a surprise when you get downed... In your average video.

Looking forward to more!
