The Clash of MiGs and Mysteres: Suez Crisis Dogfights (30 October 1956)

[@showtime112]

The Piper Cub which appears in several scenes is approximated by other light civilian airplanes. Unlike most other of my videos, this one was created using two simulations, DCS World and War Thunder. You can entertain yourself additionally trying to guess which scenes are shot in which of the two 😁

I slept in and woke up at 11:30 and this video is up!!!! Great way to start my day…thank you. 🙏🏻

[@foxtrotwhiskey874]

Fantastico! another masterpiece by showtime 112, been watching your videos for so long, and the attention of detail so great, i kept looking for the ejection of the egyption pilot from the MiG15 which was shot while take off. Fantastic video nonetheless.

[@showtime112]

Thanks a lot! As for the ejection, I repeated that scene for 15 times or so and the AI pilot just wouldn't eject. They always do the opposite of what you want. When they are not supposed to eject, they just do and vice versa 🤣

[@Chilly_Billy]

Whoever does the renderings of the aircraft in these videos is a true artist.

[@showtime112]

The video was done using DCS World and War Thunder. So, these guys.

[@Damien-q8t]

[@LindaJeremis]

Your channel is a source of joy and inspiration. Continue to delight us with your work.🦅👽‍⬛

[@1joshjosh1]

I'm going to save this for later but I am going to watch this. Unless I'm totally focused and settled in and ready to pay attention I don't want to waste a Showtime 112 segment.

[@showtime112]

I'll take it as a big compliment :) Thanks!

[@capnkente1]

another excellent video........the airwars of 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973 are fascinating in the Middle East.........

[@showtime112]

Thank you very much! There's even fascinating conflicts between those you mentioned such as the 1969-70 War of Attrition.

[@i.setyawan]

Great video! It's always entertaining and enlightening watching these dogfights between early jets. Keep it coming!

[@showtime112]

Glad you like this one too! The series will definitely keep going.

Thank you for commenting!

[@thecitizen49]

How about covering US Navy F-8 Crusaders v NVAF Mig 21s during the Vietnam/American war.

[@showtime112]

There will be a video about Crusaders and MiGs very soon,

[@thecitizen49]

This is a great episode.

[@showtime112]

Thank you very much!

[@AliceRoger-k7d]

It is inspiring to watch your channel. Your videos are always filled with passion and energy. Keep up the good work!🪀🛬👅

French fighters always held their own against Soviet /Russian fighters, in fact I believed that they were superior even up to today.

[@רוםברוסטין]

Israeli here. Iv talked to mechanics who worked on french American an soviet jets of those days. " The french munchies were over complicated yet the quality of worksemanship was superb so much so they could take a hit and limp back. The Soviets had very good designs but poor worksemanship causing them to some time be fragile.

[@anubisRN555]

In official reports in Egypt, after 1973 war, we accepted that Soviet planes lack good missiles after the peace treaty. The first jet to be in EAF is f-4s and f-16s till we met mirage 2000 and finally the refeal basically the idea here that French equipment is btter than even American ones

[@showtime112]

French military equipment is an interesting part of the market. Western, but often reaching countries which other Western equipment can't reach. It performed well on a number of occasions, that's true.

[@TheKid9678]

The Realism you display in your reenactments is extremely Excellent. Well Done as Always ST 112.

[@fernandosanchiz6731]

As usual your videos should be rated as 100% fully recommended

[@Tal-q3r]

this is one of only two ' realistically animated' military history channels that i follow.😁 the other one is naval. its interesting 'seeing' what i have read about. thx for another upload 🇨🇦🤟

[@dominiqueroudier9401]

First...but at work😤😤

[@showtime112]

Two bots managed to beat you to it, actually 🤣🤣🤣

[@JSFGuy]

Here's the attention you ordered.

[@branka1980]

❤

[@showtime112]

Hvala!

[@karavajo1]

As someone who heard and read those stories as a kid, your video is excellent (and very accurate). Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@JSFGuy]

No notice on this one.

[@showtime112]

YT algorithm doesn't like me now 🤣

[@UpDiaz]

Favorite Aviation Channel for sure!

[@aaronstreeval3910]

I once heard about an incident where an Egyptian mig was doing a strafing run and the only casualty was a soldier on the ground who was hit by one of the cannon shell casings

[@SelfRaisingWheat]

7:02 South Aftican Pilot Rex Wickens served with the RAF on Shackletons and recalled be chased by Egyptian MiGs over Egypt at some point in his book. Can't remember what year unfortunately. It's on Facebook somewhere.

[@МихайлоРябий]

Very good, thanks!

[@Riccardo_Silva]

Hehe! mi sono reso conto che ho messo like durante la pubblicità, prima ancora che iniziasse il video! E ti sto scrivendo, anche😅! Tutto ok, mi piacerà un botto sicuramente!

[@assafvoll8783]

202 is not a brigade but a battalion from the 35th Paratrooper Brigade, commanded by Ariel Sharon.

[@geordiedog1749]

What was a piper cub doing up there?

[@juancarlosperezcortes9259]

A creat video. The whole story is quite interesting

[@smokejaguarsix7757]

Two piper cubs are worth a MIG? Youve got to explain that math to me.

[@showtime112]

They also damaged a Mystere and believed this to be a victory. But most importantly (as I already explained in the video right after mentioning the Pipers), they performed a number of successful airstrikes against Israeli ground troops, pinning down the paratroopers at Mitla and slowing down the advancing 202 brigade. Plus, there was another successful interception of a British recon aircraft. They had a good number of MiGs to replace the lost one. They lacked pilots but the one that was shot down survived.

[@miquelescribanoivars5049]

Also the MiG pilot survived, while the pilot of the shotdown Piper did not, and in the end loss of personal is much harder to replenish than material losses.

[@smokejaguarsix7757]

@showtime112 I would say the ground engagements were about even but this is why youre wrong about the MIG (and normally I think you make decent assessments btw). That MIG outclasses the Mystere. The Egyptians have limited numbers. The loss of a MIG they cant easily replace vs damage to a Mystere that wasnt written off just doesnt compare. I am certain Israeli and Egyptian commanders at the time would agree. The Israeli's came off better. That said, the delay to Israeli ground troops was the most serious of the issues. Then again, the Egyptians also ended up being delayed. It gave the Brits and French time to react. That was the real issue. But if youre going off of losses...the MIG is a bigger hit.

[@smokejaguarsix7757]

@miquelescribanoivars5049 Ive flown Pipers. A chimp can fly a Piper. I can put an infantryman in a Piper and have him flying it in a few days. That MIG was an actual threat and not easily replaced. You never want to lose folks but Its just not comparable militarily.

[@bjornsmith9431]

Interesting history.

[@Siddich]

imagine being a fighter pilot in a jet going up against a piper cub. i know, it‘s war, but i gould not do it. it is like shooting at men in parachutes…

[@VandalIO]

Who won ?

[@janlindtner305]

👍👍👍

[@datacollector345]

Make more vedio on russo ukra

[@showtime112]

There might be some videos as serious research and analysis of the topic start appearing.
