    11:45 I think you explained that very well, Cap.
    13:20 I believe the best way to go is high and fast down one side. That way you only have to evade one flight of each stage. If you try the center, you have to evade two pairs of enemy.

    As someone else mentioned, the F-22 and F-35 are often fitted with Luneberg lenses to make themselves visible on radar on purpose. This lets the adversary know that the Raptor is there (as a show of force the enemy can't see is pointless) and also conceals the precise RCS.

    Request: Please test the effectiveness of the combination of not quite stealth fighters such as Boramae or Su-57 with an integrated air defense system in their own territory versus fully stealthy fighters such as F-35 trying to penetrate and destroy some of those aircraft and air defenses.
    In particular, I am curious how effective Boramae + Patriot in South Korea would be versus incoming J-20 and J-35 from China or through North Korea.
    But it could also apply to F-35 entering Russia with Su-57 and S-300 and comrades defending.

    7:01 Nope, F-22 exhausts have been optimized for infrared LO. If you ever got close to one you will find small holes drilled over its exhaust nozzles, where cold air from inlets is being blown from in order to lower its infrared signatures, the most infrared radiation emitted comes from air friction, however it’s insufficient to be picked up by the IRST installed on su-35s at ranges over 20km as long as it cruises at subsonic speed.

      Most (or all that I know of) don't give ranging information, some don't even give vectors. Both of which are generally necessary for weapons employment. In DCS you will see players lobbing off missiles on EO locked targets but the PK is generally pretty low compared to a radar lock.

  • @johnoliver4739
    @johnoliver4739 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Seeing them on radar and being able to get a weapons grade missile lock are 2 hugely different aspects... You can know they are there all day, but if you can't do anything about it, then it doesn't matter.. and even then, electronic and sensor jamming abilities as well as the quality and experience of pilots still has to be overcome. The electronic and jamming capabilities are probably near even on both sides but the pilot quality and experience hugely favors American pilots.

    • @rubiconnn
      @rubiconnn ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm pretty sure the F35 and F22 weren't designed to be a highly stealthy, deep penetration strike aircraft. They sacrifice some stealth for aerodynamics and agility. They just have enough stealth to make locking it with missiles and keeping track of it much more difficult, but the enemy will still know it is somewhere on the battlefield. The B2 (and earlier F117) were actually designed for max stealth so they wouldn't show up on radar at all to sneak past defenses without alerting the enemy.

      People can be funny about their favourite vehicles, be they road cars, tanks or aircraft. Most people grow out of it, but not everyone, and there are a LOT of Americans, so statistically, you're gonna get some of those guys getting upset about the outcome of a vs, but it's a simulation. It's based on the publicly known information about various platforms, which are not necessarily truthful or accurate, and also it's limited to the physics engine of the Sim, it's an approximation of the real world. It doesn't mean America is weak. It's not a slight against American honour. It's a video game, admittedly a very realistic one, but a game.
      I've found that it really doesn't matter what hobby you have, you're gonna get those people who get upset when you don't like their thing. I'm a musician, and the music community is full of tribal warfare across Reddit and TH-cam over which plugin company is better than another. So yeah, I get why you'd want to avoid those topics, especially if it has a financial impact as well.
      I watch GR (I'm not a player, I've never even tried it, I'm Linux based anyway) because I know it's gonna be actual gameplay, not scripted propaganda clips pretending to be game vlogging. I don't have time to play DCS, but I love aircraft and flight Sims, I played F-14 Tomcat on Commodore 64, I even have a fairly modern Logitech flight controller system with the foot pedals and stuff, I just don't have the time to learn all of those different airframes, radars and targetting systems. I have a pretty full on job (radio and live production stuff), and a family. Yeah, so watching you guys play is my vicarious way of enjoying DCS. I'd never thought to apply any of the outcomes of your sims to physical life, because it's a game. (I actually don't believe that most of the Russian and Chinese kit is as good in reality as DCS has coded them to be.)
      It's like getting mad at a Crash Bandicoot player for getting stuck on a boss monster or something.

    My only problem is that the irst is picking up the afterburner of the f-22. Does it matter if it’s a afterburner vs super cruise or better yet just below the speed of sound since that part of stealth of you don’t want sonic booms going off. The only way I’d see afterburners used is when detected or combat. I’d like to see if it makes a difference since you had the f22 hit the afterburner all the way

    Should have used Rafale... when Egypt tested Su35 against Rafale, Su35 as aggressors vs Rafales undertaking a air to ground mission, they discovered that the SPECTRA jamming suite from the Rafale was jamming the Su35 radar so well they could not get a lock, and Rafale could then easily shoot down Su35 that had to come close... and then Egypt cancelled their order for Su35 ordered additional Rafale... (well, to be fully honest, politics also played a role and the US sent a friendly warning to Egypt not to by Russian equipment...). Of course, IRST would still work but, as you mentioned, against Rafale flying low over a warm desert... I expect other top notch Western planes could do nearly as well as the Rafale in their jamming capacity, this is something which is underestimated in DCS

    Seriously I am a massive aerosexual, I love all thing aviation especially fighter, and can we please appreciate the designers over at Sukhoi. The SU-35 is one sexy beast, not as sexy as the Tomcat but it's right up there imo. Than the prototype SU-37 terminator, a designer or engineer after my own heart "Why don't we just put thrust vectoring nozzles on it." This is my perfect solution to all aircraft, "Fck it F16 gets thrust vectoring, B1B lancer gets thrust vectoring, A10 warthog would get thrust vectoring in my perfect aviation world, why... 🤷‍♂ because I want to see what happens is why." The SU-57 took time for me to grow appreciation for it's appearance (Stealth qualities U/K so I judge appearance) I now love that thing, it just looks cool.
    Unfortunately I don't share Cap's love for the J20, I think the seperation of canard to wings looks odd, it probably works really well, but I live in a world were appearance and thrust vectoring aircraft no matter the type rule supreme 😂 If they minimised the gap between canard and wing IE a LEX canard that top down looked apart of the one wing that's be sexy (If it had thrust vectoring 😜)
    I'm being facetious regarding thrust-vectoring guys but it is humorous to think about. However can we get as highly realistic ASF-14 (😏 with optional PW-F119 engines, or GE-XA100, or PW-XA101 because fck that would be baller... 💁‍♂ is why.)

    The most capable IRST is on the EF-2000. That's why EF-2000 is the only aircraft that can really beat a raptor reliably in BVR. In they have done regularly in excercises. The Luftwaffe Typhoons have a record of doing that.

As far as the Grippen and Rafale go, they're both very capable planes, the Rafale having some of the best ECM ever designed the the Grippen having a world class data link so I certainly wouldn't discount them. But I do take your point, if they are better, it probably isn't by much.

    • @TheNecromancer6666

      @92HazelMocha No I don't discount them, I rate them a lot. The Gripens capabilities in such a small airframe, with such readiness and easy of maintenance makes it overall one of the most viable aircraft on the market, even though by pure performance data its quite unspectacular, compared to EF-2000, F15EX and other flashier, more expensive products.
      Germany is world leading in laser sensor, lidar, optical sensors and radar for satellites and scientific instruments. That's why I would assume, without knowing anything declassified, that the Eurofighter has potentially an advantage in sensor systems over other aircraft. Though the USA can at least partially compensate with the magic of "defense budget" and the fact that the largest costumer for German Sensor research, outside of the EU, are the USA.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the IRST sensor should only be able to see the heat signature from certain angles. If an F-22 is head on with an Su-35, that heat signature should be significantly less.

    • @92HazelMocha
      @92HazelMocha ปีที่แล้ว +4

      So kind of not really. Fox2 missiles look for heat signatures, IRST's look for contrast which is the difference between the ambient background temperature and the target. Since speed creates friction and that friction generates heat modern IRST's can see aircraft from the front over large distances. PIRATE on the Eurofighter for instance can see an aircraft head on with IRST from over 30nm away. No clue as to the capabilites of the Su35's sensor though.

    @skatman3278 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Sorry Cap, but there's a number of issues with the start:
    1) IRST is great, P.I.R.A.T.E. (on the Typhoon) is widely regarded as the best on the planet (and is integrated with Fox 3s). However, it absolutely *cannot* detect aircraft further than RADAR can. Despite how good the Typhoon IRS(T) is, I know *plenty* of Typhoon pilots that are shot out of the sky before even knowing a Raptor exists from Red Flag exercises. There are some sources that estimate the detection range of an F-22 by P.I.R.A.T.E of around 20Km maximum.
    2) Frankly, I don't believe a word Russia says. Almost everything they say about their equipment has been proven nonsense.
    3) The likelihood of Russia having *any* of these in active use is negligible given that their front-line tanks in Ukraine aren't fitted with with basic thermal cameras because they literally buy them off-the-shelf from the west (genuinely, the thermal sights on commercial UAVs is superior to what the Russians have and they cannot produce them without western help).
    4) The F-22 has "all-aspect" stealth which includes IR. That's the reason the F-22 has the funny nozzles on their engine and so is actually really cool in terms of IR emissions. F-35 is good, but not as good as the F-22.

    "Seeing" a stealth fighter is different then a weapons grade track as you know. The only stealth made to bypass LF long range passive radar is the B2 and most likely B21. The F22 and F35 are designed to be active HF radar blockers so they don't get locked not necessarily seen. So yes the can see it from long range just like the Iranians said about the F35 but they can't lock it at long range.

    • @92HazelMocha
      @92HazelMocha ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a little more complex than that since entering into the digital age. For example, by using a PESA or AESA array with L band elements, you could create an algorithm that uses the L band at different vectors to narrow down the area at which point the HF elements may be able to generate a track. I do not know if this is something already employed, let alone employed on Russian fighters, but it is something that is physically possible.

    Huh? My understanding is the Raptor was designed for (and has) very low IR emissions, which is why the engine outlets are flattended rather than round nozzles. This is supposed to flatten/reduce the exhaust plume and mix it with cooler air before exiting the rear of the jet and generate airflow/vortices to scatter the remaining escaping heat.
    Also, IRST is being adopted by many US jets via pods (F-16, F-22) and of course future 6th gen as well, so surely it is a great tool. However, even if something sees a stealth jet, it doesn't mean they're able to gain a lock and/or attack via any method.
    I just see no reason to believe Russia excels at anything militarily at this point. They've had over a year and a half now of showing how much they're able to consistently fail to meet pre-war expectations. I even saw a video of a Russian infantryman shouldering an RPG.
