      Plot twist: the Raptor is out of missiles, the Cessna has twin 50 cals, and the battle has to take place over land crawling with Cessna-friendly state-of-the-art SAM sites. The Cessna is flown by Putin himself, so you can’t just avoid the area altogether. This is your one chance to change history…
      … GO!!

      F-16 pilot here. We actually beat F-35's all day in a WVR dogfight. Given they would kill us BVR, but the viper wins against nearly every fighter in the world in closer quarters.

      ​@@gopenguin8879 i don.t think it can beat a su57, also Gs is very experienced i feel more experienced than that su35 pilot, and in my eyes the su35 here owned the f16 in any way, it was just pilot error, also it.s far superior in any way in a real bvr scenario it would completely smoke 2 3 f16s not 1 annd it such a good looking jet, i argue one of the best looking out there ❤

      continuous rod warhead, it doesn't use the blast as the main damage dealer, it uses the shrapnels to do all the damage. There's been a few cases with bigger missiles with similar type of warheads that shot down an aircraft while missing by 100 feet.

    You've done a few F-16 vs Flanker videos now and it's always been a serious challenge. I'm really interested in how much we can squeeze out of the Falcon since it's my favorite plane, and something I think you could go in depth on that I don't think you have is the merge. It seems like your decision and positioning at the merge can be a huge part of how the fight goes against a "superior" aircraft. If you manage to put yourself in a spot where you don't have to maneuver to avoid the first missile, it can give you breathing room to fight the way you want to fight.

    • @Krecikdwamiljony
      @Krecikdwamiljony ปีที่แล้ว +15

      2 circle requires higher speeds, which means larger turning radius, which means larger distance between the jets, which means the other guy can just pull hard to point his nose in your direction across the circle, fire a missile and the missile is likely to hit because it has the time and space it needs to readjust itself (as long as it's a good, modern missile). Once the missile hits it doesn't matter he lost a lot of speed to pull hard.
      With 1 circle the speeds are lower, radii/distances smaller, which means that most of the time if you tried to fire your missile, it would already be so wildly off the target by the time it left the rail that it would have no chance to catch up - this is what "jamming the WEZ" means and why you will see pretty much all the jets go for 1 circle if capable missiles are involved.

    Seems strange that he said the F-16 is great at 2 circle but not so much at 1 circle. I thought the F-16s whole deal is that it's extremely maneuverable (better for 1 circle) but is single engine and has lower thrust (better for 2 circle).

    • @GrowlingSidewinder
      @GrowlingSidewinder  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      the f16 is indeed a 2 circle fighter, it's actually got HIGH thrust. It excels in 2 circle (rate fights) but is capable of a few good turns in the 1 circle (which is a radius fight).

    Zed? I always assumed GS was from the States.
    Also, what's with the Su-57 paint job in round 3?
