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.

[@Storm_Shadow-tr4jb]

''Looks like they know what they are doing'' 🤣

[@owenschulz9504]

When you ejected I thought of a neat idea- since these are modern missiles designed to attack low radar signatures, an ejected pilot would surely have a large enough rcs to be targeted by the meteor- although the slow speed might make you look like ground

[@stinkyfungus]

Not fast enough. A pilot in freefall or in a chute Won't register on the guidance radar's velocity gate. It litterally won't see him. The search and tracking radar MIGHT see him, depending on settings. but the guidance radar will not. This is deliberate, Otherwise you'd have Fox3s smoking birds left and right.

The Geneva Suggestion does not allow for this.

[@duffman5z]

@ Explain that to a Meteor🙃

[@aiosquadron]

The Gevana convention does NOT agree.

[@JesusFriedChrist]

An ejected pilot is in the same legally protected position as a surrendering soldier in the army.

[@JessidGallardo]

You should do the US vs Russia thing again but with the rule that you can't choose the same jet twice so it's more interesting. Do like 5 or 6 rounds so you can have different engagements. Also make it bandit unknown so you have to choose your jet carefully.

[@claytonanderson578]

I get the feeling we should nickname the Meteor missiles "Crow" missiles because every time GS says that he isn't going to eat another Meteor, he seems to "eat crow" instead. Great vid!

[@lecygnenoir4313]

I was a bit surprised to see Flankers burn through the Rafale jamming easily enough to exchange Fox-3 kills. Dassault made a *lot* of fuss of how good SPECTRA is supposed to be, to the point of the French Air Force (supposedly) refusing to develop a special Electronic Warfare variant of Rafale because the normal variant was already good enough for the role. The Rafale air-to-air plan seems to be to rain a really good missiles from afar while relying on EW as a "stealth replacement service" to prevent the enemy from shooting back until they've been wiped out by Meteors.

[@MSNskills]

Meteor with MICA NG will be a combo deadly for any air force.

[@DarkOperationman]

3:50 one meteor just hit and splashed 2 Flankers at the same time. not to mention you got hit by a second meteor. that Rafal just make a "TRIPLE KILL!!" DotA announced loud in my head.

[@barxxxn7469]

"and then we are going to recom..." famous last words

[@oscarzheng9902]

gs laughing when the flight leader gets obliterated by 2 meteors...

[@CSSBTGaming]

I think in a scenario like this, the Russian side could really benefit from having a couple of MIG-31s in the air. Their big interceptor radars and fast yet long ranged fox 3s could be major advantages in a BVR situation. Also perhaps carrying some of those fox 2 versions of the R-27 would've given the Flankers an asymmetrical threat against the Rafales as well.

[@miriamweller812]

Overall Russia does not really give much weight on the fighter part. Their ground anti air defense is massive and dangerous even 100s of KM away.

[@KN-xl6lw]

Love these Groundhog Day themed videos 🤣🤣🤣

[@augustinmallevays2734]

I'm glad to see the rafale here 💪🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Everyone talks about funny moments and noone noticed the absolute chad on the flanker not caring about "defending" and "thicker air" and just dodging one meteor and surviving (it seems) a hit from a second one at 7:33

In Russia, you do not get enemy to waste meteor missile, meteor missile wastes you. (Usually)

Here's a thought: If you have a VTOL plane, carry a bomb so that when they launch a meteor at you, you can drop the bomb, then VTOL land in the crater to hide. Otherwise, geez those things are a nightmare.
