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.

The Foxhound can fly to the edge of space, and it's radar can kill a rabbit on the runway at 200 feet. Foxhound's radar can burn through enemy jamming, through brute force.

Tomcat is an amazing heavy platform and the most ambitious western one ever in my opinion (and arguably the best), but the Foxbat and Foxhound are in a class of their own when it comes to these extreme distance, supersonic BVR engagements.

@@PhoeNix-vs8fe Not to the extent the Russians do. The last mass produced original airframe to come out of Russia was the Su-27/30 series, and its numerous "new variants" even discounting the Chinese copies. The Su-57 was a flop and the 75 is a pipe dream that I'll personally be surprised to see leave prototype stages. Meanwhile, there are more brand new F-35s in service than any of the Su-27 and its variants. Then Europe has developed and produced appreciable numbers of Eurofighter, Rafale, Gripen whilst also procuring F-35s and working on next-gen aircraft. So sure, we may make upgrades to older airframes, F-18, F15, 16 etc but atleast the new ones bear fruit.

[@MFPRego]

Well, considering that the MiG31 was made to be an advanced form of the MiG25, a pure interceptor, Mach3 capable and with the famous Zeslon Radar, its main mission was to actually shoot down incoming ICBMs and Satelites. It has the speed, the ceiling and the missiles to do it. If you think of an interceptor, think the MiG31, because no other excels at this role like this one!

[@sztypettto]

There's a full documentary on the development of the MiG-25 and the MiG-31 by Wings of Russia. Bother aircraft were cutting-edge Soviet engineering. A significant amount of workload on the MiG-31 is automated. All the pilot needs to do is play space invader on the radar display.

[@comaget76]

It's a suicide mission

[@peterdumpel5729]

And supersonic bombers. The west was shocked at how crude the mig 25 was constructed when they finally got a hold of one, but as essentially a mach 3 deterrence-deterrent launch platform, it was sufficient. You don't need a lot of manouverability when your target is flying in a straight line.

[@FlintIronstag23]

The Mig-31's main mission was not to shoot down ICBMs and satellites. It was to intercept aircraft and cruise missiles. It may have some secondary anti-satellite role, like the F-15 would have had with the ASM-135 ASAT, but no ICBM intercept capability.

That is a useless fight because stealth in dcs is modelled in a way so radars cant see the plane at all regardless of the range which is not realisctic, but even if it were it would be useless because the 31 has to come to about 10-30 miles (only my guess) to see it on radar and that would not happen

Been still learning the Tomcat and this video sums up most of my PVP experiences in BVR.... This jet is not easy to fly when you barely have time on weekends to practice. I would love more BVR videos in the F14. Thousands of dollars on my computer and I often feel like you at the end of this video lol

[@michaelryall6344]

One of your best videos for entertainment!!! Love that you show the hard times too!!!

[@Phoros]

The Foxhound and Foxbat are two of my favorite aircraft! Happy to see one in a video!

Mig-31 showing some unexpected dominance in a fight. Very impressive

[@Kiwoeoe]

unexpected? there is a saying "everybody gangster till Mig-31 shows up" bc one mig-31 can be enough to fight off multiple planes

[@Jawzzy]

Unexpected dominance???? In what parallel universe do you live? BVR is Mig-31's bread and butter and it sits alone at the top of that trade.

I have never laughed so hard before at someone else's misfortune. Thank you GS!

Great community behind you here. Been here since 40k. keep it up

[@patrickbasin9389]

I love the videos. Keep it up.

[@Celtkin]

Good job and thanks for being absolutely humble. You learn as much from what doesn't work as what does work.

[@vincebermudez869]

This was awesome!! I felt your frustrations GS. Great video.

[@ruggieromrd]

That was an EPIC finale !!!! LOL !!!! Thank you !!

I spent years aboard the USS Eisenhower CVN69 in the early 1980's with two F-14 squadrons aboard, VF-142 and VF-143 and they never carried six Phoenix missiles. Just two on the wing pylons because they're so heavy it puts too much stress on the airframe to carry that much weight on the underbelly.

[@itspersiangulfmoron.repeat2242]

I guess that's only for navy operated tomcats that have to land on a carrier cause our ones have flown with 6 missiles numerous times

[@donaldtireman]

@@itspersiangulfmoron.repeat2242 Yeah, 6 Phoenix exceeds max carrier landing weight for the Tomcat, I was also aboard the IKE in the 80's and 90's, did 4 deployments...Typical carrier loadout was 2 Phoenix, 3 Sparrow, 2 Sidewinder, drop tanks and 675 20 mm rounds

[@ricardohumildebrabo]

Love these kind of videos too. GS is not about "easy mode".

[@Monster1211]

Thank you for pointing out what you were looking at with the arrow...big help for people like me that have no clue what is where! haha

[@patrickdavis8271]

That was a tough one GS. I don't think I have ever seen you take so many missiles before. A new record. :( Always awesome content! Keep up the great work. ;)

[@lowtdave]

Lol, I started laughing at 8:50 as well. Lol. I'm not sure how fast the R-37 stays during its flight but at mach 5 it's doing a mile a second. That just seems absurdly fast. Seriously, the people who engineer these types of things are amazing.

[@nick4819]

Wait until the scramjet works like they want. Mach 5 will be nothing. Hell the scramjet just starts working at Mach 5 lol

Ok. We have established that the 31 can basically do the air-to-air equivalent of spawn-camping. Now give us a merge.

[@TheNicestPig]

Maybe just fly NOE at mach 1.15 until you're right under him then pop up to dogfight?

[@n721sw]

Man, this is the best yet! Absolutely entertaining! You make a quick YT clip into an action movie! I demand a re- match!

[@PFSquirrel]

God the range of that thing, insane. When I saw Mach 7 even I clenched up. Ron Swanson at the end was gold. :D
