This mission is just absolutely tailor-made for the F35. But there’s nothing like seeing a well-flown viper going in and still taking care of the job by itself. Badass stuff, GS
I don't know why, but I've always loved the F-16 most of all. I had a big poster of one on my wall when I was a kid. Such a sexy jet with that big beautiful smile 😍
My PC Doctor's Son flew one for the Air force... Photos everywhere in the lobby for us to view. Doc is pretty proud of him. My favorite jet, F16 Viper.
I work for a defense related company. On the walls in the building we have several large pictures of F-15E's, F/A-18's, Etc. One of the pictures shows a head on view of an F-16 with the caption: "Why enemy pilots don't sleep well". 🙂
Single ship F-16 missions should be known as Delta Mike Mikes for “Doug Masters Missions.” Kept hearing One Vision in my head every time you showed external footage 😂
I trully believed that mission is to "intercept" the ICBM hahahahaha ..... During the Mig-21 intercept I thought "hey you need to save the AIM120 to the ICBMs dude" ... great video as always !!!
If you'd have taken four GBU-38s, you could have dropped them from two to three times the distance and escaped the SA-2. Also, if you had launched your HARMs from farther out, you could have maintained your weasel longer to give the HARM enough time to hit the track radar.
Great content. Love missions. Surprised your fuel state held up. I recall in some past missions that you would have been bingo fuel while chasing that pop up bandit.
In a previous video you said that the AGM-88Ds could still hit even if the radar is turned off on a stationary SAM. Were you not allowed to use them? Still a very good video.
Absolutely loved this mission! I would like to know if we can get the mission file, or if it is published, I would like where I can find it so I can enjoy it too!
@@GrowlingSidewinder When you say "assets you're not able to release" do you mean like new planes or drones etc? Also, will you be trying this mission again to see if you can escape? Like with the F-15 perhaps?
The ultimate sacrifice was indeed paid, but the end justified. Excellent video. Your skill with this sim and weapons systems knowledge are remarkable. How long have you played DCS?
You splashed the bandits and got the bombs on target, at a great cost to yourself. JASSM would've been a better weapon of choice for this mission. That splash on the Mig-21 at three miles was epic. I knew he was done before the AMRAAM left the rail.
Awesome. Idk if its just your graphics settings or what but this thing just looks so real somehow when seen in external view. Ty for the sneak peek GS :)
Was going to go to bed....but the skies are calling me now haha Great video GS, I learn a lot for my F16 flights while watching your vids. Thanks for sharing!
That was a great video man. My daughter interrupted me so many times that it took over an hour and a half to watch it, lol. Love the channel still champ.
I think you could have survived at the end there, you can pull up and toss the JDAMs to get a few more miles range out of them. That may have given you a bit more time to get out of dodge
Mission accomplished, but so close yet so far fro getting home. I can't help but wonder how an F-16XL would do in such a mission, that is if the USAF had decided to buy them...
I’ve been looking at your videos for a while now I have a question. Are you a real fighter pilot listening to you talking makes me ask you. Keep up the great work.
One thing i don’t understand in all these scenarios is when the enemy shoots his missile(s), why doesn’t he go cold immediately after launching it? Just like GS does.

Day 81 asking for F-22 vs 10 MiG 21
Its rumored that North Korea spent its entire annual military budget to paint that MIG-29 green.
Changes back to rust if it rains😂
They splurged... Two colors. "Go fast green" on top, and a light blue on the bottom.
Sadly everyone knows red goes fasta
The private who painted it was blinded afterward so he wouldn't recreate and sully his masterpiece.
GS with the immortal quote from Worf "Perhaps today is a good day to die!!"
Dude that was heroic, at least a purple heart.
No he died
@@jedimasterjoe5386that's why he said purple heart. It's awarded for those killed in action while performing their duty.
@@Aquascape_Dreaming Shot, there are people alive with a purple heart.
@@freddyd1783 It is also awarded for wounded soldiers.
Purple Heart is award to soldiers that are wounded or killed.@Aquascape_Dreaming
This reminds me of the time when Trigger shot down ICBMs launched by Erusea!
I haven't watched yet but are there any Magic Spears!
but it turned out to be the ex-prez who everyone loved.
Count how did you escape solitary again
Nobody knows what you nerds are talking about
nice one count
TH-cam just asked me if your videos get recommended too many times, I said no. I want your videos plastered all over the world GS
I appreciate you. Subs like you keep this channel alive.
Everytime he spots something in his videos, like an aircraft in the distance or a missile passing by, i'll be like "where?" in my 1080p phone screen
😂😂😂
Same for me too..
This mission is just absolutely tailor-made for the F35. But there’s nothing like seeing a well-flown viper going in and still taking care of the job by itself. Badass stuff, GS
Awarded postumus Air Medal, but gets last laugh.
"Can you see any borders from here? What has Borders given us? We're gonna start over from scratch, thats what V2 is for!"
The sound of the V2 coming in is still one of my favorites
I don't know why, but I've always loved the F-16 most of all. I had a big poster of one on my wall when I was a kid. Such a sexy jet with that big beautiful smile 😍

It really is a fantastic plane

Stopping a nuke launch! Epic!!
Where did you get those emojis?!
@@WhitleyWelch when you are subscribed to growlingsidewinder.
That KIA, the explosions and the Battlefield theme music… *chef’s kiss* Perfect! It was oozing heroism and self sacrifice.
That M21 ejection was fantastic. Brush himself off, get cleaned up and go buy a lotto ticket!
Hes gonna have a long walk in the snow to get to that lottery ticket.
@@brushwolf lol
@@brushwolf Worth it!
Keep showing success, failure and partial success. We love it all!
I guess the X47 is reasonably stealthy the controller is probably thinking “ I wish that effing F16 would piss off its drawing too much attention”
I see "F16", I click. That thing is beast for the cost.
Most successful fighter of all time politically and economically

17:29 "If I go down, I'M TAKING *YOU* WITH ME!"
I came for the dogfight between the F-16C and the ICBM. I was a little disappointed.
Loooool sorry. That’s my bad.
On behalf of a greatful nation, thank you for your sacrafice. 😉
I was "what got em?" Then I saw the missle hit you. "Ow man!" I smell a F15 try. Well? I guess it was a success, kinda? Rest in peace GS
Family gets a posthumous DFC at least...F-16, still a beast after all these years, love it!
That Medal of Honor will look really nice on your widow's mantle. RIP GS.
Seems a perfect mission for the F35
Yes! Replay with Fat Amy!
AMEN
Would love to see some stuff like this with the F35. See how stealth affects it.
I salute you, sir!
(Also, nothing more than so many real pilots have done, with their actual lives on the line)
What a beautiful cockpit. Just amazing.
The F - 16 is such a beatiful Jet!
I trully believed that mission is to "intercept" the ICBM hahahahaha ..... During the Mig-21 intercept I thought "hey you need to save the AIM120 to the ICBMs dude" ... great video as always !!!

Mission success? Tell that to the pilot's widow and twelve children who are at home... lol
I love all the different planes you fly but I love the Tomcat ones the most! Such a beautiful plane
Great content. Love missions. Surprised your fuel state held up. I recall in some past missions that you would have been bingo fuel while chasing that pop up bandit.
In a previous video you said that the AGM-88Ds could still hit even if the radar is turned off on a stationary SAM. Were you not allowed to use them? Still a very good video.
the missile which shot him down at the end gave me one of the scariest jump scares of my life!!
Nice visuals on the cruise missile at 6:40.
Great mission and just in time..
Perfectly acquisitioned targets!
Well worth the sacrifice.
When it hit a little over 2 minutes left and you still hadn’t released the JDAMs, I knew what was coming.
Still got that mission accomplished, though!
I love the F-16's cockpit layout.
Absolutely loved this mission! I would like to know if we can get the mission file, or if it is published, I would like where I can find it so I can enjoy it too!
Thanks I will release it in the future it’s not available for release right now because there are assets I am not allowed to release right now.
@@GrowlingSidewinder When you say "assets you're not able to release" do you mean like new planes or drones etc? Also, will you be trying this mission again to see if you can escape? Like with the F-15 perhaps?

Thank you, I think it’s been like 5 maybe 6 years now lol. Many many hours a day though but such is the nature of content creation.
Looks like you'll be going to Valhalla after this mission
I'd like to see you repeat this mission with the F15 Strike Eagle.
You splashed the bandits and got the bombs on target, at a great cost to yourself.
JASSM would've been a better weapon of choice for this mission.
That splash on the Mig-21 at three miles was epic. I knew he was done before the AMRAAM left the rail.
I'm pretty sure the Hwasong missiles are prunounced, Who-wha-song
Ngl, it kinda sounds like 🥐 but badly pronounced.
They already have a newer model in development, the Do-Wop Song.
At least GS didn't say "I think we are fine" before he died
I was really hoping that you were trying to Intercept launched ICBM missles, which would be awesome to see.
They travel too fast to be intercepted by fighter jets that aren't already in the air
Poor devil bought the farm prematurely. He couldn't even say "mission accomplished", though.
Awesome. Idk if its just your graphics settings or what but this thing just looks so real somehow when seen in external view.
Ty for the sneak peek GS :)
No one foreshadows impending doom quite like you GS.
Do you actually have a setup that you can use for every aircraft or how do you do it?
Still keepin' that transponder dialed in to 1337... I see ya.
Why do you keep referring the F16 as a Viper when it’s the Falcon?
My father (Marine) had S2's fired at him in Vietnam a few times. He was flying A-4 Skyhawks out of Chu Lai.
SA-2 got him. His sacrifice will be remembered and honored.
You got me again. I jumped!
I would still accept the post partum Medal of Honor. Your sacrifice will be remembered, soldier.
Love these vids! Now let's see the Mud Hen version!
Thank you for your service...and sacrifice! You're a hero in my book. 👍👍👍
Was going to go to bed....but the skies are calling me now haha Great video GS, I learn a lot for my F16 flights while watching your vids. Thanks for sharing!
GS: "hold this for me my dude"
AGM-88: "SPACE"
We need Rapid Dragon available for C130’s and C17’s in DCS.
Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”
Can you show more start ups when you do more missions?
Yeah that would be awesome!
Really enjoyed that mission, way to generate suspense!
Maybe do an I-16 fight. Those were fun
The missle did in fact hit that guy
That was a great video man. My daughter interrupted me so many times that it took over an hour and a half to watch it, lol. Love the channel still champ.
Tough drawing the short straw
This is GS tombstone and inscribe the following:
Here lies GS on his final words "these icbm cannot allow to exist".
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 17
I don't quite understand when it will be called Fox1 or Fox2 and so on. Could someone please explain this to me?
Seems like this would be a cool mission to see the f35 get some more action.
I’d award a posthumous Distinguished Service cross, not quite Medal of Honor worthy but definitely DSC or at least a silver star or something
(In Mortal Kombat voice) CADMEAN VICTORY!
On a positive note, at least with DCS you can know if you were successful or not, after your death...
Its not about the man, its about the mission... success!
A noble sacrifice never to be forgotten.
At least an Air Force Cross, if not a Medal of Honor.
.50 cal MG seems kind of badass against modern opps.
"Hwasong. What a fun word to say." -HLC
The ultimate sacrifice for humanity. Thank you sir!
Lots of posthumous medals coming your way 😂
B2: I cannot wait to take off, you are not alone !
So that the puppies don’t hear from you anymore, and whoever wants to is always yours VETER 77
Idk why but F-16 Wild Weasel/SEAD videos are my favorites
Killed by a SAM system older than you. The old Guideline gets em everytime...
This should’ve been a Strike Eagle or 15-EX mission. More room for additional HARMs and AMRAAMs.
I think you could have survived at the end there, you can pull up and toss the JDAMs to get a few more miles range out of them. That may have given you a bit more time to get out of dodge
It was nice knowing. Thanks for your sacrifice. Triple
Mission accomplished, but so close yet so far fro getting home. I can't help but wonder how an F-16XL would do in such a mission, that is if the USAF had decided to buy them...
I’ve been looking at your videos for a while now I have a question. Are you a real fighter pilot listening to you talking makes me ask you. Keep up the great work.
Another folded flag for Mrs Growling, but this time with a bonus little box! A grateful nations salutes you.
Of course there is no reason to send just one Viper!
I guess, in North Korea is better to be KIA than POW.
ICBM's where parked so close together. One Jdam would have been enough to kill both , thereby providing time brake a way and evade the SA2's?
One thing i don’t understand in all these scenarios is when the enemy shoots his missile(s), why doesn’t he go cold immediately after launching it? Just like GS does.
They’re shooting fox1 so they have to stay nose hot to guide their missiles.
@@tbe0116 ohhhh, thanks man!
Firing Fox1's, has to maintain radar lock.
R.I.P., GS!
It's crazy but I actually hot the feels watching this video.
