Hey GS. Just wanted to thank you for all the content that you've put up over the years. Modern air combat was always very abstract and opaque to me. All I knew was that you shot a missile at someone and hoped they didn't shoot at you, and that was that. But since I've become a subscriber, I've learned an incredible amount from you. BVR, BFM, one circle, two circle, notching, cranking, going cold, reengaging, bandits hot/cold/flanking, the value of being high and fast, the MAR, jamming the WEZ, how you use the EWR... It goes on and on. This is all stuff that I learned from you and you alone, and have been extremely entertained in the process. And for that I just wanted to give a more tangible thanks. Of course I'll continue being a subscriber and continue watching, and will continue to learn. And I'm really enjoying how your mixing more BVR scenarios into your usual 1-on-1 matchups. Lots to learn from both of those. So thanks again. This has been one of THE most entertaining and educational TH-cam channels that I'm subscribed to. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very very much. It’s amazing to hear people are watching these videos enjoying and learning things in the process. Thank you also for your generosity and your support of the channel. Very grateful for subs like you around here. Much love.
@@druid4243 Completely agreed. Since the v22 are here on their own mission, they would have somebody covering them. It isnt even the raptor's job to support them, he only needs to clear the way for b21

Watching you trying to protect the Ospreys was like watching a bird trying to fight off literal Raptors from killing its babies. The last few kills were just brutal after your 9X went for the sun.
It’s crazy to see how many ospreys one flanker could kill knowing that each osprey is 24 marines and 4 crew each that died without ever getting into the fight.
@@rickyal9810 considering this scenario seems very Taiwan related, or at best, Philippines related, I assume it can only escalate from here? Either way, Bob's not making that meeting. He could maybe text, "Sorry, boss, I watched WW3 start off the wing of my plane" because 45 minutes, later the EMP from the inbound tactical nuke to that island knocked out his flight systems and he impacted the ocean at 500 mph. Some of these scenarios seem pretty cut and dry, especially the middle east ones, but you start shooting at Russian or Chinese assets and the more one-sided the engagement, the more likely they are to pop off? If it's Taiwan, it's escalating to nukes in minutes. Philippines, the communist party officials probably won't want to die trying to take their islands. That's my take on it, anyway.

A good way to reprogram your brain concerning "decimate" is just replacing it with devastate. Sounds similar, and 99 times out of 100 it will be the better option. Decimate is just super niche as a word.
You've absolutely been on an absolute F-22 tear lately huh? Been loving all the vids with it man, seeing you sneak up behind enemy aircraft without them knowing is fabulous
So I live in NZ. Our navy is 3 fishing trailers with aks straped to the front. Our army has no mbt but a handful of aging lav. We have some arty from 1970s. Our air force is a dhl at home. Our prime minister went on a trip. We had send 2 planes incase the other breaks down.
I absolutely love these scenario videos. Also crazy to think that a week ago I never watched or had anything to do with DCS or aviation of any kind. Now here I am binge watching all of GS videos, watching aviation movies, and looking at getting one of those raptor hoodies. I've even started geeking about the f22
Then mind your opsec a little bit better you just made yourself a target for a pile of nations that actively use tons of people like you to get bits of info here and there to put together a larger piece of data. Bet getting into your computer and using you to get past an air gapped network wouldn't be too hard.
Man GS I'm so used to your abilities that I was shouting loud requesting you to shoot down those Flankers. I admire what you do so much that I tend to see you as a super hero. Nice job once again.
Id love to see you have a Marine fixed wing protect some rotor wing air like you did as a mission. Like a small group of F18's guarding Huey and Osprey helicopters.
@@thedyingmeme6 of course no one knows, besides people behind the classified veil. There are theories out there that be 21 raider, might have air to air capabilities.
Gosh. I was remembering playing Rogue Squadron on my N64 long ago while watching you watching that Flanker kill so many Ospreys. Remembering all the "mission failed" screens when I couldn't keep my friendlies alive in escort missions. 😂
I just watched a video about the 6th generation American fighter. It is going to be a missile truck. I have even heard it's under testing. It looks like the jet from the movie stealth.
I have no idea how you don’t already have a million subs. I know next to nothing about dogfighting or aircraft and yet I can’t stop watching. Love your stuff dude, keep it coming!
@@hughmungus2760 The CIWS is not optically guided. Do you see the R2D2 shaped radome on top of the gun? It houses the microwave or K-band radar that actually detects the incoming missiles and automatically guides the gun to point at that target. At first I thought it contained the ammunition for the gun, but the actual ammunition drum is located directly underneath the gun. So if the missile has stealth features, then it is a great threat to the ship because the missile can remain invisible until it's too late to defend from it.
3:31 Just imagine you’re on that airliner chilling eating your food and drinking your beverage on your way to a vacation and you just hear a loud sound then see smoke and a jet go down then you see two jets dog fighting it would be cool and scary at the same time
Seeing as how the Chinese are going with a mass-production mentality on their navy and given the fact that at least one of their new carriers has shown large cracks in the flight deck, I can't imagine that they have much in the way of a significant amount of quality going into their navy. And since a characteristic of East Bloc countries has been to value quantity over quality, I don't really see China as being that big of an overall threat to the US in terms of combat capability.
The thing about B-2s and B-21s are that they seem to be slim and dangerous when you look at them in the front, but the moment you look from the side of them you see a happy dolphin innocently carrying bombs in their bellies. Might be cute.
Could you imagine being on that plane and having guns fired so close you could see it out your window? Then hearing two missile impacts shortly afterwards...
"Decimate" in its original Roman punitive military justice sense, meant to take 1/10 of the soldiers. In its modern context, it means 'to impose unacceptably high losses'. You were correct in your usage. The Romans never spoke of 'decimating' their enemies as that would be to limit military action. Decimation was only ever against the Roman army itself.

Would like to see how B-21s, F-22s and F-35s networked together would fight as a team.
f22 may have datalink issues but it could be possible for it to receive support from the f35. good idea otherwise.
I wish DCS added more support for that kind of thing!
Throw an F-15 or two to sling Amraams on data link from behind and nothing would survive
That's too much tax dollars in one sentence
Throw in some F-15EX missile trucks to augment loadouts from range, just for funsies.

It’s crazy to see how many ospreys one flanker could kill knowing that each osprey is 24 marines and 4 crew each that died without ever getting into the fight.
These were going to set up a forward operating base so they would have fewer Marines and a bunch of equipment. Still a tragic loss.
yeah, but you would never see Ospreys getting deployed in contested air space like that without having F-22s or F-35s as wingmen
not so sure about that
the moment when some of the V-22 Ospreys were shot down by the Flankers was cinema-level dramatic! Congratulations on the show! Keep it up!
Imagine you're just some business man on a plane and seeing a F-22 execute a Flanker off your wing
