The “catapults are not functional” is complete B.S. Will never happen in a “real world” scenario. The whole movie, dialogue, storyline, and acting, are totally cringeworthy.
For the start of the fight, after losing Hollywood (if the start of the film was anything to go by, they weren't allowed to fire unless fired upon). Iceman had to defend himself against six MiGs. He did try to engage them at one point but was completely defensive and was just trying to survive until Maverick showed up. Iceman did get a kill but was blindsided by a MiG that shot up his right engine which removed a great deal of power and agility. Sometimes circumstances don't play in your favour.
@@WaterCrane The orders for this mission were, "If you _witness a hostile act, you will return fire."_ Since Hollywood and Wolfman had been shot down, I _THINK_ that qualified as a 'hostile act.'
Flares only. This close, they are using thermal guidance weapons like the Sidewinder. Radar is nice, but the angles in question would have been a pain. Against thermal targeting, it is flares and try and make yourself cooler, which a Tomcat will not do. So, not really much countermeasure beyond being a better pilot.
Well, to be fair, he was outnumbered SIX to one, as he said over the radio, he was completely defensive despite trying to engage them a few times. The fact he survived at all is a testament to his skill. Maverick was the one who was panicking or rather being overly cautious because of the death of Goose and getting caught in the MiG's jetwash only served to make him re-live that moment. Granted, once he overcame it and re-engaged, he helped level the playing field, which allowed Iceman to score a kill of his own before his F-14 got damaged and he lost some of his agility.
Movies that day were using actual jets. Eventhough the US did have migs, they weren't allowed to be use for filming. So they use F5 as Mig, just like Tom Cruise as Maverick. Another film as Iron Eagle also use Kfir as Mig23 and F4 as Mig29. But nowadays we use CGI, so there'r no model limitation.
LAUCH MAVERICK ON ALERT 5 🫡
□■♤♡◇♧🐎🐴
They say cats 3 and 4 so ?
Those are T-38s, not MiGs. But, it is Hollyweird, and they are full of crap. They claim " dramatic license" as an excuse which is BS.
In Top Gun: Launch Maverick on Alert 5!!!! In Top Gun 2: Launch Hangman on Alert 5!!!!
Iranian F-5's vs. American F-14's. Could've happened. 🤷😏
“Launch maverick on alert 5” has to be some Ace Combat code
And why in this movie they didn't use flares ...
Mig-28 Aka F-5 Freedom Fighter
Big commercial to join the Navy😊
I went to war in 1991. It ain't all that. I served 3 years and got the f*** out. That ain't a way to live a long life.

Do all yanky pilos repeat every line during combat?
Any one notice that Iceman only gets one kill, that whole Dog fight, while Maverick gets the rest? Some Winner of the TOPGUN trophy ICEMAN is 🤣

Cool to see and thanks for serving our country
As a former pilot in the Air Force, every time I watch Maverick launch here I find myself saying go get ya some boy.........
Sooo, no countermeasures in 1985?

MEGA USA WANK.
TopGun is my childhood movie
Iceman did some a great job against 6 while waiting for backup.
Why they choose the well known F5 an outstanding fighter in its own right as a decoy? Cheesy
They couldn’t get their hands on any real MIGs, so they painted some F5s black and called them MIGs for the purpose of the movie.
Remember, if you are a US Naval Aviator then you have to say everything twice. “I got tone… I got tone…”
“Banking left… banking left…” just in case you don’t know what is going on.
Just like when I talk to your girlfriend she always says what....so I have to say it twice.
Go getem mav dont think do
Great job mav
Maverick, what a great call name
THANK YOU U.S NAVY AMÉN
😻💫🤙
Viper like a tree
It’s a movie just for fun.
Smoking in the boys room..,.
Just to see tomcats flying makes this a fav.
Its funny how Iceman won TopGun, but in a real dog fight he damn near shits his pants. Great save Maverick..
I mean 6 verses 1 before Mav got on station lol

6 on 1, at 1 point 4 on his tail, Ice shouldnt of even still been in the air before Mav got there, he should of been splashed

Es correcto, los portaaviones cuentan con cuatro catapultas. Además, pudieron haber lanzados aviones en parejas; no solamente a Maverick...
Definitely my all time most favourite movie.
Those are not migs they are F-5
