Actually, I needed to place some unit on the house because static objects can't be lased. So, I placed a single infantryman. I never even remembered that expression until you mentioned it :)
Thank you for your comment! Pilatus is not available in DCS. A Super Tucano mod has been released recently, thst is probably the closest thing to it. But I should learn how to fly it first 😊
Thanks! Yeah, it's a nice piece of Mariachi performance. I was looking for something to go along with the whole Mexican theme and then this appeared and fit right in.
👍😁 - Wouldnt it be nice if we could deploy these kinds of resources every day, especially now that the US southern border is under control of the Sinaloa's - Cool video man!
@@showtime112 How could u not have watched the movie? It was classic. An F-18 Hornet dropped a LGB onto a house. And after that there was a thorough investigation by Harrison Ford! Love that movie.
Yeah, the scenario in this video is very much like the scene out of Clear and Present Danger. The lasing of cartel’s house by a special forces team. The only different is the downing of helicopter which was not part of the movie. In the movie, the special forces team was hunted down with everyone killed except the sniper who survived.
Thanks! Usually, you just go to www.digitalcombatsimulator.com and in the user files, there are many custom skins made by the community. Including this Mexican skin for F-5E. I have some limited skills so I can make some small adjustments from time to time.
Thank you for your comment! Actually, I do mostly real historic reenactments. This war a rare hypothetical scenario. So, I'm probably not gonna do something like that. Unless they actually clash 😊
My FAVORITE fighter of all time....the usaf didnt really want it but yet it proved itself beyond all doubt..the little fighter that COULD and DID....this tiger has claws
I see it as an American equivalent of MiG-21. But it wasn't as popular. Maybe because Americans (and other Western nations) had a lot more to offer at the time while Soviets really didn't. MiG-23 wasn't much of a success and MiG-29 was only first exported in the late 1990s.
Cool but unrealistic. A more plausible scenario would be interception of a private jet like the ones drug cartels use or maybe destruction of clandestine airstrips in the mountains. It has happened that high profile criminals are flying and the air force has no way to stop them. About modernization, the only two realistic options to replace F-5s would be Jas-39 from Brazil or the KAI T-50.
Hey, I'm so glad you like the video. It was inspired by TV shows such as Braking Bad and Better Call Saul which are about Mexican cartels. As for lasing missions, the easiest way it to set a vehicle that has a laser designator (Bradley, Abrams and such). Then you set them up as a FAC near the target and when in mission, contact by radio. My problem was that it needed to be really really close to work. You can even see the HUMWEE near the building in the video. This guy explains it quite well, check it out: th-cam.com/video/wfqdphGdADM/w-d-xo.html
Given that the FAM retired the F-5's in 2016, a far more plausible scenario (at the time this video was released anyway) would have been for US intelligence agencies to have learned of the Cartel meeting and the US Gov't sending in an F-35 with PGM's to carry out the strike as they could evade the limited Mexican radar coverage and have the ability to laser designate thier own PGM's (which would eliminate the need for a SpecOps team on the ground).
In a real mission, the laser code would be verified with the Ground Laser Designator and the correct call from the FAC is "spot on" not "lazing". Just a detail.
US special forces done this type of missions in south america back in the 80s. no, they didn't fly jet fighters. they came in the jungle, paint a target, and called in an airstrike. its not a new idea. it was even made into a movie in Clear and Present Danger
Would be a great idea but is totally unreal because such a strike with military war force would've been conssidered as a disproportionate use of force, and would've been conssidered as a total Human Rights violation on international order, as any goverment can't use military war equipment in an internal security conflict.
I didn't know F-5 can carry laser guided bombs. But a very nice mission. I came, I dropped, I shot down. To paraphrase Caesar :)
Thank you! Keep watching for more!
Funny touch with music!
Yeah, that was the point 😊
Esta muy bueno el skin ¡un SALUDO desde Mexico!
I'm not the author of the skin but I think it looks great too. Thanks for the comment!
grasias amigo soy mexicano y me encantó
Estoy contento :)
9:25 quite literally dropping warheads on foreheads

Somebody has to be the first :) Thank you for the comment!
Sierto
I love this video, you can do Pilatus Pc7 strafing guerrillas during the Zapatista up rising in 1994 Saludos from México 🇲🇽

Por tu opinar amigo es buena
Ay caramba! 😂
Gracias! 😁
Time for some cold cervezas (beers) at the Officer's Club!
Yeah. But perhaps not Corona 😂
excellent music choice!

Para siempre! 😊

That mariachi band crack me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😊
Such a catchy tune. I was humming and whistling it for a couple of weeks after doing this video 😁

Reminds me of the scene in "Clear and Present Danger" where the Navy drops a big LGB on a cartel home.
I haven't actually seen the movie but I think I watched someone analyzing that scene. It could have stuck in my mind although I wasn't aware of it.

Mexico would have to bring the F5s back into service.
I agree. I mean, with some modernization they can still be useful. And probably not too expensive to maintain.
It should buy the JF-17 ( the new F-5E ).
Exelente video,👍como personalizas el avión?

laser guy: "Whoops! Wrong House!"
The nose gear seems to 'pump up' just before takeoff, raising the nose of the aircraft. Haven't seen that feature on any other plane.
Yes, the pilot raises the nose before takeoff. It increases AoA, reduces takeoff lenght. British Phantoms had a similar feature.

It's pure fiction. I was just looking for something to do with the F-5. And Nevada map looks a lot like Mexico.
You've just reenacted Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger.
Excelente video, debería hacer un vídeo sobre los aviones Tucano interceptado avionetas que transportan droga en la selva amazónica,saludos
Thanks! I might do something like that with the Tucano. Once I learn how to fly it :)
Fun mission and interesting scenario! How do you create these lasing missions for the f-5? Got any tips?

Muey bueno musica!
It stayed in my head for about one week after making this video :)

The point was to find a mission for the F-5.
final a video about mexican f-5s
VIVA MEXICO!!!!!
Thanks. I was playing a lot of F-5 back then and I just had to do something like this.
@showtime112 can you do a video about the Mexican war effort during the battle of luzon in world War 2
Unfortunately, this is not happening in mexico. The few remaining f5’s are used only for exhibitions and parades.
So it seems.
Brte, kakva muzika 😆😆
Like 👍
I meni je super. A potpuno prikladna za video 😁
@@showtime112 bas je prikladna 👌🤣
In a real mission, the laser code would be verified with the Ground Laser Designator and the correct call from the FAC is "spot on" not "lazing". Just a detail.
That's the terminology that DCS uses. They announced a whole new radio comm for some future update so if this is wrong, they might change ti.
so, basically it's a "Clear and present danger" re-enactment
Not really, I don't think I've seen that movie. Direct inspiration was more a combination of hunts for Osama/Saddam and shows like Breaking Bad.
Wish that really happens here, take care pal!
You never know :) Thanks for the comment!

@@showtime112 totally agreed with u. the mexican govt is totally corrupt. its the perfect environment for the cartel to thrive and propagate.

It is purely fictional. But then, many governments have gotten away with much worse 😊
@@showtime112 totally agree with that.
F5 with laser guided bombs....hmmm.
They can carry them. They just can't self lase.
fenquio
Someone should look into this for real
Probably. I don't think they even fly these F-5s anymore though.
Mexico reitred there f-5's rhen brought them back
Viva México Cabrones
