That last fight, I don't think a missile was needed. That Flanker looked it was going to scrape the ground before it recovered enough air speed to be actually flying again.
@@artemvektor1 No the pilot had no clue, there was a lot of smoke on that side of the airframe so the pilot couldn't see, from their perspective the plane was just really heavy on one side
@@treeamble585 Well, to be perfectly honest, he had quite a few "clues". Just no visual cues. So, the thing he didn't know was that he was missing the _whole_ wing. But he knew that the wing was "not working", and what that usually means.

@@stoog7487 not in a dogfight it won't. Su-30 has superior manoeuvrability than F-22. In BVR F-22 would obliterate any aircraft but there are better for bvr and not dogfight,
The thing really does look like a raptor diving in on its prey. We have several great horned owls out back and I love taking a beer out on the deck at night to watch them hunt.
Great job with the slow-mo cinematics, you captured some really epic scenes perfectly. PS. That was some mighty fine flying you did there to get all those wins against the F-22, very impressive indeed.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Who ever you where flying against was very good. I would love to try this but I would get lost in it so I'm just going to have to be happy watching. Thanks for the fun.
with the thrust vectoring, this type of dogfighting reminds me a lot of the WW1 bi-plane dogfights...its almost a ballet in the sky...fighters capable of supercruise, dancing in the air at speeds that other aircraft would simply fall from the sky if they were to go that slow...cool vid!
@@russellcooper2195 personally I wouldn't fly anything against an F22...lol...but should the unlikely happen, it would be sort of beautiful to see these two dance in the sky...anyone that knows anything about the capability of the F22 knows that the SU-30SM would be blown from the sky before it even realizes that an F22 was nearby...
@@rxmclaren7 I'd say RoE might cause a situation where an American stealth fighter like the F-22 finds itself up against a Chinese flanker that suddenly decides to go hostile during a peacetime sortie. Don't put it past the Chinese to suddenly attack you when they think they have the advantage and then just as easily put the blame on you for starting the fight and sue for peace as a "responsible power". That is just what the Chinese do. Take it from an Indian.
Yes, this is the fight that I wanted the most. Hope fully in the future there is a mod for the Su-30SM2 which is a Su-30SM with N035 radar and AL-41F-1S engine ( which are the Su-35's radar and engine) for another dogfight with the F-22. Gotta be a more intresting dogfight to see:)
even after such mode with more power engines and radar, SU-35 should still be more effective in air-to-air superiority. The primary reason for Su-30sm upgrade to sm2 is different.
I never usually watch any other channels videos all the way through, but with GS I always watch all the way through because its so engaging and the content is so good. Keep it up GS.
@@beaclaster no... Aircraft behavior is a bit different. There is a CG somewhere near the center of the aircraft.. any force behind the CG acting downwards pushes the tail down, resulting in nose up.. and with high thrust, it moves the aircraft almost in the direction of the nose (upwards)
Looking forward for su-30sm2. First batch has recently arrived in Russian navy aviation. Su 30 with su 35 engines and avions, while also having the control system from su-57. The last is particularly important, because it made airframe 20-25 % lighter than basic su-30sm, making its flight characteristics better.

Seriously... DCS would make an excellent e-Sport. Growling you and the gang should start a DCS league. You can have different era planes every week dogfighting each other, you can have fixed planes fights, BVR fights with same or different planes... Your channel alone is a statement on how varied a DCS league could be.
It would be nice to see flight sims move out of the niche and more into the mainstream. Imagine what that would do for HOTAS setups and other controllers? More companies would join in creating more competition hopefully bringing prices down more. Sigh. Alas it won't ever happen.
Is there any chance you could do an F-22 VS F-35 BVR fight? I know most of the capabilities in both these aircraft are highly classified, so it wouldnt be too accurate to real life, but it'd still be fun to see if the F-35 can actually take on an F-22 in BVR, seeing as the F-35 is technically more advanced
Well, first and foremost, there is a reason why the F-22 is an air superiority fighter meaning that the F-22 can track a target farther than its adversary while an F-35 complements an F-22 with its sensor and ground targeting system. Therefore, in BVR, an F-22 is better by miles.
I was very surprised to see the aerodynamic capabilities of the new sequoia su 30 mod up against the f22 raptor, however in part this was due to who was in the cockpit. An absolutely superb demonstration of the capabilities of this beautiful Russian fighter aircraft. Great job and thank you for your videos.
The lesser pilot seemed to come out on top in this one, which I think makes it pretty clear that the F-22 is the stronger craft. No offense meant, but GS was clearly the better pilot by far in this engagement, but the other pilot was simply flying a better platform.
@@GrowlingSidewinder This fight requires another video, You were almost there getting the raptor down on every first turn. Pretty sure you would play your cards very well
GS, in Round 1, after being shot down, barely ejecting in time, hanging from the trees from his parachute “… I put up a good fight against the F22 though”. laughed so hard 😂. Always enjoy the content good sir!
“My status? Well, I’m feeling a little excited…” References to other video games aside, it’s been a while since we’ve seen the F-22 in a BVR engagement
The random bread truck at 11:48 made me giggle pretty hard. I imagine a husband and wife delivery team with the wife going "Don't you hear that Earl?? I think there's a dogfight happening" with Earl being like "Shaddup ya old bag. I been drivin' this truck for 43 years. I think I know what an airplane sounds like." then boom. Raptor kill.
I feel like if that was long shot it may have been a bit more lopsided but you did great against the raptor not that the aircraft you were in is a slouch by any means especially when in an up close dogfight where the maneuverability of both aircraft are exceptional
"Greetings, Growling Sidewinder. I am your archnemesis." "A skilled pilot capable of challenging me in new and interesting ways?" "No. I'm an F-22 Raptor."
The end of Round 4 deserves an award for cinematics. (Chef's Kiss!) The end of Round 5 was a maneuver kill IMO. If the Raptor didn't get you the big pine tree directly in front of your "Sabre Dance" was already going to make recovery impossible. Great start to the weekend, thanks for this upload Growling, you are the best!
@@Mobius118 Yeah those are impressive missiles for sure. But it's the WATER-7 missiles that I really fear. They say it's like hitting a wall of concrete. And at night, you may not even know you are flying head on with a WATER-7, and you don't even see it coming!!!
SM is a much superior fighter in a dogfight. Thrust vectoring, forward canards and more wing per square meter. Exactly what the doctor ordered. That's my humble opinion.
I will say according to this video the Su 30 is definitely a worthy opponent of the F 22 if the Su 30 get past BVR. This was an exciting dogfight! Sidewinder keep this type of content coming!
Every time I see a Flanker-H, I swear the sky starts singing in Latin. I believe that one pilot's full name was Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage. 👑
Sidewinder, you are the better pilot 👨✈️. Plus that thrust vectoring helps, but also keeping your energy definitely helps, the wedge also and yea you are an amazing sim pilot 👨✈️
Time & time again you have proven the mantra "its nit the bucket but the man flying the bucket that counts!".......now it's time for you to take up that challenge "cesna vs F22" .
Wow, I sure that military experts and pilots will be watching and observing all this videos, although many airforce of many powerful nations would have had to compete against all other aircraft as well.

Nice vid man keep up the work man
Can you make a video showing and highlighting the things that the F35A was made to do, like a BVR fight
The moment you got low and slow in the final round, all I said was you are now a piñata dangling in the air.
Then the rest was history.
Fantastic, Thank You Parabellum and GS.
nice video! but they said you can't dogfight a F22 raptor in real mcoy scenario, they can hit you 20-40kM away.
When everyone has thrust vectoring, the dogfight becomes “falling with style.”
Oh, not that old canard.
That last fight, I don't think a missile was needed. That Flanker looked it was going to scrape the ground before it recovered enough air speed to be actually flying again.
I think the F-22’s thrust vectoring isn’t even modeled in DCS
A Buzz Lightyear theme for all of them
@@brianwright9514 The ground is 100% effective against all known combat aircraft.
I love how the Flanker tells you how many engines are on fire, but neglects to say "NO FUCKING WINGS, NO FUCKING WINGS"

The power to weight on both of these fighters is insane! Great video
GS, in Round 1, after being shot down, barely ejecting in time, hanging from the trees from his parachute “… I put up a good fight against the F22 though”. laughed so hard 😂. Always enjoy the content good sir!
It was a good fight though. Fights against F22 have mostly been one sided. He did give trouble to F22.
This is the best dog fight I've seen for the entire channel. And I imagine how a real dog fight might play out b/w these aircraft....
holy smokes that thing is SICK looking. Love the frame thing on the canopy and the thrust vectoring.
During the second round, when he was talking about killing it on the first turn, I was thinking, "I haven't seen him do that since the MB 339!"
I've been watching several of your videos and this is the first one that really got me on the edge of my seat. Great dogfight!
I love these close-in tumbling bubble violations. It creates amazing footage. Very fun to watch.
This felt like Ace Combat
Which is fitting, considering who uses the Su-30SM.
“My status? Well, I’m feeling a little excited…”
References to other video games aside, it’s been a while since we’ve seen the F-22 in a BVR engagement
"Missile didn't connect... that wasn't the plan."
That second round when you were on guns my mind was screaming "NOSE UP NOSE UP"
Now I really just want a speculated YF-23 module for DCS. So we can have the real matchup everyone was interested in back in the 90s.
That last round was like two snakes fighting to the death.
Surprisingly good match-up. Thanks GS!
Su30 is big but not a sitting duck. It can make the opponent helpless at times. Great fight GS. Love it
Man, what a real treat round 5 was. Great flying!
Bro this whole fight was insane!!! awesome content!
Hi GS, will you do another 3v3 video ? I loved them with the f-15 and the flankers
That gun shots at 5.08 almost nail it
"I think I put up a pretty good fight" as my flight suit is barbequed from the fireball that used to be my jet. "Yeah that went well". Lold
3:06 '' okay i'm good i don't think he hit me ''
* looks back and sees a wing on fire *
yep, that is totally normal
I started busting up laughing at that
Man DCS is insane. I don't have the guts to play it, but I sure as hell enjoy watching these fights...

Boy watching the SU thrust vectoring is one of the coolest yet derpiest things.
I feel like if that was long shot it may have been a bit more lopsided but you did great against the raptor not that the aircraft you were in is a slouch by any means especially when in an up close dogfight where the maneuverability of both aircraft are exceptional
Awesome video!
That last kill on the deck, it was epic!
GS, we really dont mind another Su 30 vs F22 video with 10 rounds! It was enthralling! 😃❤
The F22 dodging the gun in round 2 could've been a scene from the Matrix, along with the close missle shot in round 1.
Why can't they give guns infrared homing or something? Would it break the Geneva convention?
Ah man, good fight, really wanted to see the Tacview on that one! ^^
“I think i’m good, I think he didn’t hit me”
*checks right wing to see it is on fire*
“oh”
That last round was juicy! That’s as close it’ll get.
Darn, Growling does a 'George of the Jungle' into a bush after punching out. Ouch.
The most important thing these videos have taught me, is the jet at the end of the day is a tool. Its about the pilot
laughed sooo hard at 3:07 when he thought he was good, looked back at wing 1 and saw fire "he hit me," looked back at wing 2 "oh that's not good"
"Greetings, Growling Sidewinder. I am your archnemesis."
"A skilled pilot capable of challenging me in new and interesting ways?"
"No. I'm an F-22 Raptor."
"I want to understand the enemy."
Another awesome video for my favourite DCS channel. Great flying as always bro ✌🏻🙂.
That second round escape from that gun burst is something out of a Matrix movie.
The sink rate on the last kill seemed like it was going to kill you regardless of the missile.

I will say according to this video the Su 30 is definitely a worthy opponent of the F 22 if the Su 30 get past BVR. This was an exciting dogfight! Sidewinder keep this type of content coming!
Every time I see a Flanker-H, I swear the sky starts singing in Latin. I believe that one pilot's full name was Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage. 👑
cant be mad at either outcome when two sexy jets do the death dance in the air!
What an absolute slugfest, love watching these vids!
Sidewinder, you are the better pilot 👨✈️. Plus that thrust vectoring helps, but also keeping your energy definitely helps, the wedge also and yea you are an amazing sim pilot 👨✈️
Both of these aircrafts are equally matched. What makes the difference is between pilots and weapons.
We so badly need a Mihaly skin for this Su-30SM
"I don't think he hit me"
Famous last words
If that was you in the Raptor this fight would’ve been over a lot sooner I’m assuming.
I wonder why the missile didn't blow up with proximity fuse at 2:39
Does Fox 2 Heat seeking missiles not get proxy fuse?
1:42 "I think I got WEZ jammed pretty well here..." - and then GS does not die instantly with a missle to the face! What a plot twist!
You're quite the entertainer, but the show's over with this next shot
Time & time again you have proven the mantra "its nit the bucket but the man flying the bucket that counts!".......now it's time for you to take up that challenge "cesna vs F22" .
Man you guys are blasting the shit out of each other.
Damn you gotta love the f22 clear canopy
bravo GS one of the best video for me on fight 4 they missle you destroyed very disrespect.. you piss him of hard:))
More of these please! So much more exciting than 2 old planes
Brown pants moment for F-22 pilot seeing that stream of 30mm feet away from his cockpit at 5:10.
I am positively surprised how well the Su 30 is doing against the F 22
Holy cow, was that spectacular!
Wow, I sure that military experts and pilots will be watching and observing all this videos, although many airforce of many powerful nations would have had to compete against all other aircraft as well.
And his name is ‘Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage’
That was very entertaining, I was definitely pulling for the SU-30
