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. - เกม

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.
Thank you for your content I really like the way you talk so calmly
I really like these mission-style vids you have been doing lately. Keep up the good work!

This was awesome, it could be fun to see it done with the Flankers flown by players you've flown against before. Just all of them against you.
"Sir, we are detecting half a dozen buildings flying this way at 35,000 feet."
"Anything else?
"Yes, one bumblebee doing mach 1.3."
Just buildings? I was unaware the Air force had upgraded B-52s with stealth characteristics.

As your bay doors open their AWACS probably said "The bumblebee that was traveling at mach 2 has transformed into a bicycle. Nevermind, it's a bumblebee again. Threat neutralized."

Ah, the venerable B-52! My grandpa had over 2500 hours in the BUFF and retired as an instructor pilot. She's old and not the prettiest gal at the ball, but she's been doing her job with distinction for nearly 70 years.
Couldn’t be said better. My dad worked on the BUFF and the B-1 almost his whole career. He then transferred to NATO and was a crew chief on the E-3.
Excellent work! My grandpa also flew the BUFF. After the P-47, the P-51 & and a number of other beautiful birds. Tuskegee Airmen, love you guys
@@patmahomesisthegoat1622 I still have a couple of his instruction manuals for the BUFF, including how to deploy the nuclear armed Hound Dog cruise missile. She definitely struck fear into Vietnamese forces during Rolling Thunder I & II.
@@localracerTuskegee airmen are why I fell in love with aircraft. I pretended to be one in Microsoft combat flight simulator. Lol
Your grandkids will probably also have over 2500 hours in the BUFF.
can we just appreciate how sci-fi the f-22 looks
It doesn’t look that sci-fi compared to the ngad (which the more sci-fi the more ugly)
Well said, its beautiful
Still!
Congress says not scifi enough. NGAD here we come.
Yf23 looked better…
For people who don't understand why pilots talk about 'Probability of Kill' rather than range is because the range of any given missile is extremely variable based on launch conditions: how fast the launch jet is flying, how high they are flying, the altitude of the enemy bandit and finally their aspect. It's not like surface-to-surface munitions where both the launch platform and targets are relatively stationary, the relative movement of combatants in the air makes figuring out ranges pretty complicated.
I think it’s also unclear to most that radar cross section (RCS) as a radius is also a statistical measure. The likelihood of getting a solid return is modeled as a probability of a random radar scan hitting a target of that radius (more or less).
So the PK of each target is drastically precluded by getting a lock on something your radar will only get occasional back scatter from. I’m not saying this clearly, but everyone’s making jokes about bumblebees on radar screens which is a fun thought but not now it works.
Pk is usually a function of range.
Also, whether the target is moving towards or away from the launch platform (jet or sam or manpad or ship) or moving towards and finally, whether the target is manoeuvring or not (big arse bomber, or a small fighter).
Usually all these are going to factor into Pk. I can't remember if altitude is a significant variable, but you could probably find that out by googling it.
@@BrianTRice77
RCS is also affected by which face of the airframe is being presented to a radar. I don't understand all the details of modern radar, but I can understand when they say that various VHF bands are most susceptible to scattering only within a 60 degree cone of the nose of an aircraft and that L band radars are the least susceptible to scattering of 1mm wavelengths. But if we assume that GCI is using older radars and they happen to get a view of the side of stealth platform, that is where stealth is least useful.
Also, FLIR and IRST are useful in tracking stealth aircraft travelling towards it, due to the heat generated by the compressed air when at supersonic speeds. At supercruise velocity of Mach 1.6, air temp reaches 180 degrees Celsius dropping to 120 Celsius at Mach 1. This makes detection possible at 80 nautical miles. But that's only relevant for an air platform searching for stealth aircraft.
Lastly, the F-35 has a number of restrictions when it comes to stealth (that the Raptor doesn't have). These include its stealth performance being degraded (almost useless) in the rain and the stealth coating starting to peel off at supersonic velocities. Last I heard, F-35 fleets were restricted from supersonic velocities for any bursts longer than a minute.
All of these are going to affect RCS or detectability in significant ways. Best option is to keep using stealth aircraft ONLY against 3rd world nations.
@@Raz.C range and ALTITUDE, especially considering that at high altitude you can use non pulse doppler modes on radar meaning they cant then be notched
down low using PD mode you can survive a launch even if you cross into NEZ if you manage to hit the notch fast enough, up high you are simply toast - you cant run, you cant dodge and there is no notching to save you
Ironically, 52 years ago I "felt" a B-52 strike about 5 miles away from me in Vietnam. A picture appeared in my brain of a wheel a mile in diameter rolling across the countyside, destroying everything it rolled over. Very scary, and I can still feel it, all these years later.
We should never have reduced their numbers under strategic arms treaties. 744 built, 72 in operation today.
They were the #1 thing the USSR feared and were first on the chopping block during arms negotiations.
Why fear. They big and bulky and slow lol.
@@UorpvxOboelaand they carry roughly 30,000 pounds of explosives. During WW2, carpet bombing was feared, even with old B17s and B24s.
B52s can carry so much more, fly so much higher, and fly so much faster than the old bombers, which makes them THAT much more dangerous
I love how you just very carefully shot each engine out of the AWAC.
Next time: Leave the rest of the airframe and powerplants...just decapitate the radome.
@@gregtheegg3576 Was thinking the same thing. Just surgically remove the radome and let them limp home!
@@coop12007no way! Rather lit all engines and watch what will happen. 😈
Because he has it on easy mode
@@pregnant9574 Yeah its called using an f22 lol
"2:41 -- and everyone is going to get an AMRAAM."
Such benevolent generosity, gifting AMRAAMs like as if they're coveted prizes.
Those bombs hitting the runways in a straight line was just epic.

“I hope it’s more of that F-22 stuff he’s been doing lately, that stuff’s been awesome!”
Didn’t disappoint. You never do.
All I can think of is Habitual Linecrosser's "RAPTOR MUST FEED" character
His stuff is awesome. The Raptor is epic. I quite liked the A-10 too.
Honestly shooting the engines one by one is probably a good solution to let the crew bail if thats your goal.
I think it would have been cool to take out all but one engine and the radar dome. Job Done.
Need to have guests as part of these missions as well with even larger opfors

Loving the F-22 content! Would love to see an F-22 and F-35 together
The Raptor and Fat Amy.
That's an awesome idea. Back that for sure.
@@ireaddekker Yes sir!
One F-22 versus some F-35s would be interesting.
@@ireaddekkerwould love to see them working together
Raytheon needs to hurry up with the Peregrine missile. A clean Raptor with 12 AMRAAM equivalent missiles would be frightening.
I can’t wait for the first batch of Aim-260’s to finally arrive
I’m liking the US/China scenarios. It’s eerie to think about the possibility that these encounters may happen at some point if tensions keep rising. So, I like the immersion these encounters provide. Great stuff as always👍🏼
I think it's more likely that the US itself will implode and take the whole west along first with all these disastrous economic policies going on in the west before ending up in conflict with the communist bloc.
"Easy kill for the Raptor." Due to conditioning I expected GS to get hit by a missile .3 seconds after saying that.
The curse doesn’t work in the Raptor
The F-22 is truly a super gorgeous-looking aircraft.
"Why do we only have one little buddy?"
It's GS in a Raptor. Relax, enjoy the ride.
3:42 "They are seeing a bumble bee fly at them at mach 1.3 . That's a very suspicious bee." rofl
Please keep these Raptor vids coming! It's really cool watching the evenly matched BVR and guns only merge vids but seeing scenarios of what the Raptor is made to do...annihilating multiple bandits without ever being spotted is just so satisfying lol
As a grunt, I was sooooooooo glad to have this stuff on OUR side.
The F22 is the John Cena of fighters... you can't see it.
Imagine a B21 carrying a ton of AMRAAM's, and an F22 escort just in case things get up close and personal.
A B2 could do the job
These scenario-based F-22 videos are super cool man! Keep up the great work!
“Experience the battle. Dissect the tactics. Relive the dogfights…”
LMDAO, that was pretty epic! Very entertaining. A few beers made it even better lol.
I can never get enough of the f22 and it’s sneaky massacre adventures
I imagine that you'd probably have a wingman, too, which would be 12 total. That would be pretty devastating. Especially if there were F-35s in the mix.
As I said before, they could also have an F-15EX or two in the bomber formation, loaded up with like 20 AIM-120Ds, just slinging them at the F-22/35's targets from like 90 miles
GS alluded to the "revolver for AMRAAMS," but you could see that instead with an F-52 or F-15EX. Have it loaded with a spindle of missiles that are guided by an F22/F35 radar to their targets - they are just the gun truck for the spotter
These mission videos are the best keep up the good work!
While i love dogfights absolutely nothing beats a realish world scenario where you have a mission and have to incorporate all different manners of offensive flying. Keep the mission based videos coming
So nice of you to invite those last two Flankers to a deep sea fishing trip!
Bout to watch but something tells me 'escorting' might mean becoming a double ace in one mission.
Well, I was close, 9. Along with the most accurate high level B52 strike of all time.
One of the few content creators that I watch from start to end with no fast forwarding. Love it.
GS : "I've got the AWACS in front of me."
AWACS : "Oh, crapbaskets..."
man, that Raptor is straight out playing with the prey before putting it down
That one hit home for me. My dad was a B52 mechanic in the Air Force in Maine. Glad to see they are still viable. He loved that bomber.
Frankly... I'm really digging all the Raptor dominance videos lately. Well done boss :-)
I love this BOSS Music at 10:00, its like a demi god entering the battlefield to ruin a day
GS: Is this mean?
Me: It's like pulling the wings off a moth...
Great work! Maybe next time try a similar mission but with f15c so we can see how much difference stealth makes
GS out here casually picking the wings off flies in his Raptor. Haha great vid as always.
"I don't feel good about this" he says as he plays with the AWACS like a lion playing with a mouse before eating it.
it must be super terrifying to be that AWACS just seeing all your planes disappear off radar when you just thought it was just a squad of B-52s with no air support, suddenly your engines start to go out and then get shredded by 1000 bullets.
Flanker Driver "I think I've got something on radar - it's small - maybe a bumble bee - but it's really weird - It's cruising at Mach 1.2 and at 37,000 ft. " seconds later "Shit I think that bee just fire a missile at us!"
The Jetstream must be quite impressive today to allow bumblebees to experience the wonders of supersonic flight.
You should do something with Hasard Lee. He flew F-16 and F-35. It should be something like what you did with the Rafael pilot. Love the content!!
9:06 "They gon learn today" is such an F22 thing to say
Three amazing F-22 videos back to back? This cant be!
The last three videos that you have posted have been absolutely amazing. Truly enjoy watching your videos. Thanks so much
Great mission. I'd love to see this with an F15 on station as a missile truck while the F22 is the eyes and electronic warfare
9:04 “They gonna learn today” 😂
Aww. Granddaddy buff taking his 22 great grandson out to play!
ive been wanting to see more mission vids like this thx for the great content
“Where are all my friends?”
Lol. You got me there. 😂😂
"They gon learn today" had me choking on my Arizona!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really like these raptor conflict style videos you have been doing.
Day 55 of asking for AH-64 Apache versus SU-57 Felon
:ps - Love the F-22 Missions, they are very interesting and cool 👍
B-52s make folks quit. Sending a laser guided bomb or tomahawk thru a window is one thing. Leveling 12 city blocks is a whole new level of 😮
F-22 going full Oprah: You get an AMRAAM, and you, and you...
Also, loving the use of the word "carcass" for downed bandits.
Love these escort missions!
Holy poop. When the bombs start falling from the B-52s... That is what I call an overwhelming surplus of diggity.
Destroying the engines on the Russian AWACS is not cruel at all: it gives the crew the opportunity to safely bail out.
These missions are awesome!
You were giving the AWACS crew a hint that it was time to bail. No guilt if they played hero. Great video.
Ah, burning Flankers is such a beautiful sight!😎🔥🙌
I understand, the enemy could not see F-22 because of stealth, but could they not detect your radar scanning and locking them, or the missiles approaching them?
Your thinking is correct, but there are some strategies to try to remain stealthy and not show up as obviously on RWR until it's too late for the target to evade. In particular, I've heard (non-classified rumor) that the F-22 will change the wavelength of its radar beam thousands of times per second to not be an obvious source on RWR, and that it will use a relatively low transmit power to track targets.
As for the AMRAAM's, when they're launched, they use the guidance information from the F-22 until they're in their terminal phase, and then they switch on their radar. At that point, the AMRAAM's will definitely show on RWR, but by that time they're too close for the targets to defend effectively.
The original idea was for the F-22 to primarily use infrared (IRST) to find and track targets, which would allow it to keep its radar turned off while moving into position to fire. As I understand that wasn't done, however there have been some recent talks about adding IRST capability to the platform.
Another thing to consider is that the F-22 can accept targeting data from something else- AWACs, F-35, another F-22- and that would allow it to get close with its radar off until after it had launched.
I think the real (classified) strategies will be a combination of these, and hopefully a few things that haven't been publicly thought of or discussed.
Nice. 9 kills, almost double ace in a day. So, one question about the F-22 flight model in DCS. Does it do supercruise? Because from what I've read, the ability to supercruise is one of the hidden advantages, just as big a factor as stealth, perhaps.
dude the f22 doing a combat turn is crazy
Awacs guy after the 3rd engine: Oh he`s just shooting the engines, we can surely glide to a safe ejection or crash land
Loved it!! The Raptor is a beast!! Can't imagine what the NGAD will be like. Shooting out the AWACS engines was brilliant but why shop at just three? Hoping for A-10 air to ground in the near future. Thanks for sharing.
Day 43 of asking for A-10 vs F-14
BVR for sure
Good luck with that attitude

@@dr.lecter9795it's ok man, everyone has their own way of making requests
I am LOVING all of these Raptor Videos!
Repeating a line from a previous video: “There’s a Raptor on the loose!”
After watching this episode the dark star episode and the episode from a while back where you kill a S-400 plus 2 scrambling fighters, I now comprehend the role of the F-22. What an amazing aircraft!
Crazy how surgical the F-22 is, literally one shot one kill. Even with limited payload, still made 8 kills by missiles and 1 by 20 mm, awesome. Its like 1 bodyguard protecting 7 B-52s...imagine what a fleet of them can do.
9:10 the raptor looks absolutely amazing
10:37 haha "anyone out there? we don't have ejection seats for anyone onboard. We need some _milk_ "
Can you imagine the enemy pilot seeing nothing on radar to seeing a sudden spike in radar then nothing again. LOL. Opening and closing the weapons bay, must be crazy. Going from no hostiles to dead.
I knew you would reward us. That objective was sick. I was like, "there's no way he doesn't show us the bombing run" Worth
The AWACS bit is like laughing while you pull the wings off a fly!🪰!
😆
"dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee"
That last clip of the F-22 screaming in from the Port side low over the water was just beautiful...
As for the death of the AWACs: Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not polite to play with your food? ;)
That's the real air superiority. Awesome
Man the 22's a bully! I love it! XD
“It’s a very suspicious bee…”😂
That particular video never gets old!
Being able to keep conscious while dropping altitude like that is impressive
Kind of like the old days. When the P-51 used to escort the B-17s.
B-52’s: Raptor where tf you been?
Raptor: Idk I thought I’d grab a quick ace while you guys were doing bomber stuff
I was in Panama City this past 4th of July and 2 F22's flew over the beach at 300 feet burning by. I felt like a kid again watching these amazing aircraft 😎
That many B52s roll up on you….youre getting ready to receive a new topographical landscape. Thats the last part of “F around and find out.”
So two things GS: 1- that B52 drop was the prettiest bomb run I’ve ever seen
2- the way you executed the AWACS would absolutely have you in front of a board of inquiry lol that was cruel and unusual punishment. Could you imagine that pilots radio call as he realizes you are surgically removing their engines before dumping a load into the fuselage? My God 😅
The callsign for GS on this mission was "Rocklobster"
I grew up near KI-Sawyer under the shadows of the BUFF. Love that jet.
GS pulling the legs off a grasshopper w that AWACS.
One complaint I have about DCS is that when these planes are being shot down by supersonic missiles, you can still hear the missile approach before the impact. Really, you should see the explosion first then hear the missile approach a seconds afterwards.
He edits in missile sound effects in most of these videos.
@@noscopesallowed8128 Aha, that makes sense.
The official report from the PLA Air Force reads that a whole Flanker squadron and AEW&C were lost due to an allergic reaction to the sting of a bumblebee
A perfect video to showcase what the Raptor was designed to do! Get high and fast, and kill the enemy from a long distance to clear the skies for friendly forces; all without being seen. This was also a hilarious video for a couple of reasons:
1) I loved how you used that Southern American twang accent when sneaking up behind those two flankers flying low on the deck. "They 'gon learn today!"😂
2) When you were toying with that AWACs like a cat playing with it's food.
Love your videos!
“Is this mean?”
Have you seen what they’ve done to our drones?! Lol
