Fun Fact: The Soviet manage to acquire an F-5 from Vietnam they did a mock aerial combat with the mig-21bis and mig-23 flown by some of the best soviet test pilots and the F-5 won every engagement it also influenced the cockpit layout of the Su-25 and Mig-29 and it also influenced the Aerodynamics of the Su-27.

@@showtime112 Makes sense I guess. Soviet designs were not known for great ergonomics. So when one of their top guys straps into an F5 and goes 'oooh, oh this is much better! This makes things easier on a pilot and therefor more effective!' I think the designers are going to take note of that.

Wonderful seeing a little jet shoot down a kind of a fat pig. I know they make 21 is kind of a hot jet, but Northrup got it right with a little light weight fighter and it will kick ass on the Mig 21 or it’s big brother, the F4 Phantom in close combat, where in fact at this time, that’s where virtually all combat occurred. Big jets are big targets, it’s that simple. Given an equal number of F-16s versus the much bigger F 15, and F-16s will kick their ass. It’s David and goliath.

Hello! Thank you for offering your assistance. The 'operations' are not exactly full missions, from beginning to the end. Rather, they are filmed from small segments. Couple of reasons for that. Often, scenes need to be repeated many times until you get a desired outcome. And longer replay tracks tend to break. But if you want to fly and play a role in some of that work, I plan to work with human pilots in the future.

The MiG-17 is nothing more than an improved MiG-15 with a thinner, larger wing, and an afterburner added to the same engine. The MiG-17 at Mach 0.89 was only marginally faster than the MiG-15, which had a top speed of Mach 0.87. The MiG-17 had the same armament as the MiG-15. The MiG-15 is in DCS - so whenever you need a MiG-17, just use the MiG-15 instead.

In fact, my Western friend, the communist ideology is very simple to understand by anyone regardless of ethnisity or nation, or even level of education. The basic idea is that there should be no exploitation of one human being by another human being. That is all. This is why this idea experienced such a broad and quick success almost everywhere where western propaganda had limited access back then. However, in the West, the level of intelligence of an ordinary citizen is so low and/or damaged by propaganda, that even such a simple idea seems to be extremely hard to acquire.

I suppose it could be done and MiG-17s were no more than targets in that large battle. But the real MiG-17 is being developed for DCS and there are some more interesting stories from the Ogaden War that could be done before that one.

Somalies did a really bad job, MiG21 easily out turns F5 if properly used, when Americans received their first Fishbed from Israelies and tested it against their own air frames the only fighter fully capable of out performing 21 was Phantom, and even that had a hard time doing so over Vietnam before getting their guns back, tho, the Fishbed that Americans got their hands on was also one of the earlier versions also without internal guns...

An interesting thing happened in the later phase of the war. Ethiopians and Cubans did some practice dogfights, F-5s versus MiG-21s and MiG-17s. F-5 won every time. It has proven clearly superior to both types especially at low speeds. Automatic flap system has proven to be an important factor there.

MiG 21 is an interceptor. It's not supposed to enter extended dogfight with the multirole F5, which will beat it everytime in that scenario. MiG 21 can only win if it uses hit and run intercept tactics using its superior speed. But in this war, Somali pilots were poorly trained and they tried to use the MiG 21 as an offensive fighter - it didn't work.
