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.

[@orionmec]

Firing missiles under the transport.... My Favorite!

[@Orca19904]

Like the airplane version of a submarine hiding under a supertanker and torpedoing an entire enemy fleet.

[@kevinmyers440]

Heard they’re possibly upgrading the raptor, that’s going to be insane considering it’s the most dominant ever built to begin with

[@jamesmaddison4546]

It's not possibly, they are. Last year Congress passed a bill literally protecting the raptor from retirement and funded it's mid life upgrades and modernization budget for the entire raptor fleet minus 33 of the oldest airframes that are being retired from combat coded aircraft and sent to training wings for new raptor pilots. Doing this because they know the 6th gen won't be operational in sufficient numbers for atleast a decade and cannot afford to lose the capability the f22 provides. Also, over the programs life the aircraft has gotten upgraded dude, they're not flying with the same stuff they came off the assembly line with. But what the fleet is undergoing now is gonna turn the raptor into a bat shit crazy aircraft when fully modernized.

[@alanwright3172]

IL76 ESM officer "Капитан, у нас есть радар истребителя!", Captain" где?" ESM Officer "Повсюду!" For those who don't speak Russian ESM officer "Captain we have a fighter radar!" Captain "Where? ESM officer "EVERYWHERE!"😂

[@sherpajones]

6:30 I got to walk in one at an airshow. They are massive! Those wing roots are exposed in the upper cargo deck and the scale is just mind blowing.

[@csmccarthy123063]

First one where you get surprised by the Raptor forming up on you is a favorite!

[@GameBusterInc]

Oh to hear that Galaxy's radio chatter. "These guys are getting mighty frisky, I need...holy shit. Uh..." "Hey guys! Ah, solved your Flanker problem. You boys have a nice day."

[@MidnightAspec]

13:50 was great when you first posted that video.......and it's lost nothing on the recast. LOVE IT! LOL!!!!

[@Rufus6540]

Second clip reminds me of Dune Part 1 when Paul's fighting Jamis: Is he toying with him? Also, GS channeling his inner Bugs Bunny while dismantling a helpless AWACS: I'll do it. But I'll probably hate myself in the morning!

[@prideb4caffeine999]

And just like Paul, the Raptor has never killed a man

[@thedyingmeme6]

Nah, GS never regrets pulling the wings off of AWACS

[@VenomVsTRex]

Me as F-22 Raptor: Casually plink all 4 AWACS engines followed by the radar dish so they're just a fat, slow-falling brick. AWACS crew: how are we still alive??? F-22: Because I am a merciful god.

[@skiboi]

Love the "you ok buddy?" To the C5

[@joehoulihan5305]

Ok, absolutely my favorite thing watching you sneak up on bandits with the Raptor, it just doesn’t get any better than that! Love It! Please do more sneaky missions with stealth jets! Maybe some day give Fat Amy a try?

[@YourUncleGreg]

For me personally, it was the moment when the Chinese Flanker jettinsoned missiles and surrender, that was something

[@mantrachhaya6835]

Yeah I remember that, but gotta say that flanker gave one hell of a fight, but he knew he'd be killed, so took the intelligent decision of surrender, his superiors may not like it but as GS said once, the pilots are more important than the aircraft, if the aircraft crashes it's fine, but it's a bigger lose if they loose the pilot...

Actually, I've seen you play with your food better in some of your earlier F-22 videos you've done like rudder-rolling and out maneuvering your hapless prey in dogfights. Maybe in "F-22 Playing With It's Food, Volume 2" or something in the future. 😊

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you very much I think volume 2 is a good idea.

8:50 watching this scene again makes me realize how brutal these two kills were. Due to being so low, neither flanker pilot was able to eject. KIA x2

Popping the engines off the AWACS is like pulling the wings off a fly. Then gunning the fuselage is like pulling the legs off too!
