    FYI. The last disclaimer in french in the video says it all. “Beware, this video doesn’t demonstrate the superiority of the rafale over the the F22 in any way. We don’t know the rules of engagement, and what led to this situation. It only demonstrate that the rafale is a capable aircraft compared to most modern aircraft in dogfight “.

    Love this breakdown. I have a close friend who was a F-15c driver and flew chase for the Raptors during the testing. He would be the first to say the F-22 was a better airplane, but so much depends on the pilot and how the aircraft is handled. 2009 the aircraft was still new and the way to fight the plane has evolved a lot since then. Plus we don't know the details of this pilot.

      When they did initial F-22A tactics development once the IFDL was working out of Edwards, they flew against numerically superior flights of F-15Cs that were at Nellis. Everything was BVR set-up initially, flown by really senior F-15C FWS patch guys doing the F-22A tactics. They said that no matter what aspect they intercepted from, they always saw first, shot-first, and were never seen. Said it got so boring that they had competitions to see how quickly they could wipe them all out on the clock just for fun. In one 2v12, F-15s started dying without any indications as to why, so some of the surviving F-15s immediately 180’d and extended in burner, pushing through supersonic.
      One of the Raptor pilots said he bore down on them with Mach 1 of closure and killed them all. We know the F-15C doesn’t hang out inside the transonic region when pushing through, so to have Mach 1 closure in that scenario from perch is just ridiculous. It also opens up kinematic possibilities for weapons separation and WEZ/NEZ that are just unfair.
      If some low-rate online blogger with click-bait articles thinks that BFM set-ups with all the signature reduction techniques handicapped on the F-22A mean that it is easily defeated, it just shows the quality of that website.

      He said when they wrote their initial pilot reports after employing the Raptor against F-15s and F-16s saying, "No really, this thing actually works. They could never see us. We always had any number of ways to kill. There was nothing anyone could do against us."
      Engineers who had been working on ATF since the 1980s came to the pilots in tears. "You don't understand. People have been telling us this will never work. You've validated my entire career's work."

    I remember Até's analysis of this fight (and being a bit more agressive on the French pilot for not calling all the fox-2 kills he could have done).
    For him, it looked like the F-22 pilot was simulating worse piloting skills to test the rafale, which was a new airplane in 2009.
    The ultimate conclusion was the same though : the pilot is the most limiting factor in air to air combat, moreso with latest generation airplanes limited to 9G-ish turns to avoid having somme goo instead of a pilot on the seat.
    (by the way, the 1990's variant, the rafale A, was a mirage 2000 with two F/A-18 engines and a new looking silhouette with nice curves... A proof of concept for a joint European fighter program which became the eurofighter, program later abandonned by France as they whished to have only one aircraft type in their entire fleet with a variant capable to land on a carrier)

    The Rafale's HUD shows a tracking symbol on the F-22. Box or circle with single/double lines which is probably determined by the Rafale's selected weapon mode and MARM. This means the Rafale's radar and/or IRST is tracking the F-22 for the Rafale's avionics system to determine the F-22's position and display it in the Rafale's HUD. So is the F-22 carry external fuel tanks which will negate the steal of the F-22? How small is the F-22's radar and thermal signature, or alternatively how good is the Rafale's sensors?

    Fan of russian fighters here, and of the french Rafale too (that not of the french). This competition says nothing about the f-22. The said plane is a marvel and sure it is more capable than the Rafale, in almost all areas, which is also a great plane which excels specially at low speeds, but mayb the F-22 pilot underestimated the french pilot and that would be all (or maybe not precisely the best pilot for a plane like the F-22). I'd also like to remind many of those who insist on throwing crap on the f-22 in what it comes to dogfighting capabilities at low speed, and let's be honest because it is an american plane as well, that this plane can do stuff at low speeds (in other words at dogfighting speed) the french plane would only dream of.
    And for those who hate the f-22 because they think the f-23 should have been the winner, let me also remind you about one thing. The F-23 was basically an interceptor, not a dogfighter-interceptor like the F-22. The F-23 is one of the most incredible planes we've known of, but besides the aforementioned "problem", Northrop relationship by then with the USA goverment wasn't the best (the problems with the b-2 bombers), and if you think the F-22 couldn't be more expensive, that is because you cannot imagine how much more expensive the F-23 was among other things because of the tech it contained in order to maintain its stealh capability at the frigging high speeds this plane was able to achieve (interceptor speeds), which btw remains clasified to this day (I think it would be around 2800KM/h. Not as fast as the MiG-31, but still faster than any other interceptor that exists. Also, achieving those 3200KM/h for the Mig-31 takes a while, and can't maintain it for long. The F-23 was supposed to be able to maintain those high speeds for long and while remaining stealhty, which was a miracle of tech=$$$). So yeah, the F-23 was so cool and that, but the F-22 could at least engage the enemy in a dogfight and was way more agile, primary reason (along with the $$$ one) it won the contest. The F-22 is an incredible plane which doesn't have to be the lesser one compared to the F-23. It's just different.
    If we want to throw crap on an american plane, then we might begin with the F-35 heheh. Nah just joking, but some decisions on this plane like that very reduced max speed really makes someone wonder how a pilot is supposed to scape the enemy in case it is needed. Fuck even the new F-18 has more max speed than the F-35 wth?, and yeah talking about the F-18. I think it is simply the best plane overall ever created, btw still one of the best at low speeds. I think an F-18, a plane way older than the Rafale, would be very capable of defeating the french plane in close combat.
    In my honest opinion, the only plane capable of beating an F-22 piloted by a true ace would be either the SU-37 terminator (and the SU-35 now too), and perhaps the SU-47 Berkut that so sadly never came to be. All this of course in case the russian planes manage to get (force) the F-22 pilot into a dogfight, because prior to that they should have to evade many middle to long range missiles the Raptor would have thrown at them without being detected, and those missiles..., well, you know how effective they can be, and how fast they are actually. This ain't Ace Combat ok?, dodging missiles specially those ones is not easy.
    The F-22 very well might still be the best air superiority aircraft, even nowdays. And yes It is also probably better than the cheap SU-57 russian copy.

    "American stealth fighter is not literally invincible in all situations and against all opponents" is the kind of thing you'd say "no shit" to. Especially when stealth fighters were and remain a fairly new technology (yes, I know the F-117 was called a stealth fighter, but that thing carried zero air-to-air capability and was quite obviously a stealth bomber) and they were still figuring out how to best use them. Saying that an F-22 is beatable in a pure dogfight is like saying that a sniper is not super dangerous in close-quarters combat; no shit, but getting into a CQC fight as a sniper means you've already fucked up badly.

This resulted in the new pilots coming in without enough experience nor training and resulted in further losses.

Airwars are won through sustained industrial output and technological advantages. Technological advantages keep your pilots alive, which leads to a more experienced fighting force. It takes a significant amount of time to train a pilot adequately and actual experience is the best training. Inferior technology, regardless of training, dooms those pilots before they have a chance to gain experience which leads to a poorly trained, inexperienced fighting force given the time constraints when training new pilots. Japan quite literally lost a most of it's experienced pilots because of inferior technology, which includes their inability to keep the attack on Midway a secret (cryptography).

      Also, in 2009 the Air Force was using f-15c drivers in transitioning them into flying the raptor. So I would say for the first year at least and then flying the raptor, they were using the f-15c types of tactics, rather than using the tactics that were built for the Raptor

    Before acm in Vietnam it was a 3-1 kill ratio after those classes it was up to 10-1 kill that goes to show as pilots we are getting smarter and better equipped but an aircraft is only a machine controlled by an imperfect being that makes mistakes but what makes them better is they train and become a master

      Take also in account that the MiG-21s were out to hunt any american plane.
      F-4s were also used as bombers so several being lost because of AA.
      What you should do is a comparision of how many F-4s were lost to a MiG-21 and how many MiG-21s were lost to an F-4. The ratio should be more in favor of the F-4s in that case. Also you can take in account the encounters over both vietnam and the middle east for a bigger sample.

      Not necessarily.
      The MiG-21 aint that agile compared to a phantom. The plane that was really problematic in a dogfight over vietnam was the MiG-15 since Phantom pilots would be dragged in a low and slow dogfight where the phantom does not finds itself well at at.
      The MiG-21 on the other hand Has an extremely small wing surface with Delta wings and behaves poorly at high angle of attack. This means that it must keep its speed or is done for. Cant really push the nose or its at a serious risk of stalling. Comparing that to the phantom you’d find that the MiG-21 has to fight in a condition that is much less dangerous for the Phantom.
      The problem of the MiG-21 over vietnam was that they used very effective ambush tactics during operation rolling thunder. They did not dogfight phantoms. They run away. This is why operation Bolo was a massive success for the US. They dragged in the MiG-21s in a fight and won big.
      By linebacker in 1972 the upgrades to the phantom, the training and the command and control made the Phantom achieve nearly total success against the MiG-21s both in Navy and Air Force service.
      Mind you this does not mean that the F-4 is totally superior to the MiG-21. It mens that the overall system and organization behind it managed to achieve success.
      This aint a 1-1 comparision. That I find it pretty useless since it tells little IMO.

    I my opinion this doesn't take anything away from the Raptor as a modern capable fifth generation fighter, but I think the problem is with people's perception and mentality nowadays. People tend to have a naive and to some degree immature black and white mentality on most issues. What we see here today doesn't really say much about the F-22's capabilities or lack thereof, that aircraft was never promised as an 'Invincible' fighter. Of course it can be beaten, both in a dogfight and possibly in BVR too. So I guess what I am saying is that people have this naive and unrealistic mental image of what the F-22 is and they get shocked to find out that it wasn't what they imagined it to be.

    • @FirstDagger
      @FirstDagger 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The real problem is that the F-22 never received all of its upgraded, which means that European jets have the edge when it comes to IRST.

      @marshal1808 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@FirstDagger That is correct, given how complex the F-22 is, and the overall nature of aircraft design these systems have to be developed by many iterations of updates and changes. No new weapon system is designed to perfection in its earliest form.

      I’m pretty sure the F16 can carry the triple ejector racks with Mavs and there are stations for 4 harms; just going by from what I remember flying in F4.0 BMS. It might depend on the Block though.

    Is there any Typhoon with RAF pilots v F22s anywhere. I would love to see how that one goes. I know the F22 has the edge but if anything is gonna get close it will be the Typhoon, remember everyone that the Typhoon is a multi role aircraft so it just doesn’t do A2A, it does everything to a very good standard, but yeah, pure A2A then most of the time the Raptor will have it due to the main thing being stealth. The 2nd being the thrust vectoring. The thrust on the Typhoon is awesome tho but no vectoring
