    It's pretty amazing F4's initially had no air to air guns loaded on their planes. Equipped only with air to air missiles (often times failed) and due to number of air to air casualties the TOP GUN program was introduced as well as re introducing the air to air gun on modern fighters.

      Not shown here was actual aerial flights of real F4’s the whole series had a combo of live action and animation. So the budget for animation was less because chase planes and real F4 (and other warbird) aerials.

    Turns out the guns weren’t the problem with the f 4s. Main problem was that there missiles were not properly maintained. This was one of the main reasons the navy was able to actually improve there kill to death ratio from 3 to 1 to 13 to 1. Also the top gun program all went together to create a more effective force.

      @@MarkHoltze One should consider that many of the MiG-21 variants fielded by the VPAF also lacked cannons altogether - and those that could carry a centre-line gun pod frequently sortied without one. (The theory being that the extra weight and drag of a gun pod was counter-productive - survival depended on a single high-speed missile pass and then running for the hills.)
      Any MiG-21 driver who got suckered into a turning fight with an F-4 had screwed up colossally and was almost certainly going to get killed by his opponent's wingman or flight-mate in short order - whether the F-4 had a gun onboard or not.

    I remember this one time, at a model kit hobby store, this Vietnam pilot veteran told me as I was purchasing the MiG-21 1:72 scale, that when it came down to these dogfights, MiG pilots would fly at a lower altitude, because they knew the danger of fighting the F4, so when it came down to it, the pilots would never engage F4's but the Air Force would always talk about sending in a different kind of aircraft they knew, the Vietnamese WOULD engage, it was in a sense a mind game for them, they tricked the enemy but never sent the plane, so when the MiG's hear this particular plane was on it's way, they would increase altitude and instead of the expected plane they would be forced to engage the F4's
    Another story he told me was while he was posted in barracks, because he was ordered to, one of his mates took control of his helicopter, and on a miss his helicopter was shot down by a MiG-21 and told me that that engagement would go down in history as the first helicopter to be shot down by an jet.

F-16 was lightweight air superiority figther but you also often see F/A-18 Super Hornet doing F-16 mission(hence why it a multipurpose) i get what you meant. It kinda hard to decide which one is a true dogfighter(Probably F-15 eagle and F-14 Tomcat) cause all US aircraft that has F of it can do air superiority mission and dogfight cause Odviously they are fighter aircraft.

They had a horizontal path they’d follow to cover each other’s six. I may be wrong but that’s what I’ve come to read and understand.

    Its not really “amazing” that the F-4 didnt have a gun at first. And even though i would always rather have a gun than not, they havent really been needed for air to air combat from when the phantom was introduced. The low missile hit rates in vietnam were mainly from bad missiles (early AIM-4 falcons as an example), the missiles being fired outside of their envelopes (like sidewinders being fired head on when at the time they could only lock from the rear aspect. But this was primarily dealt with by red flag and top gun), and from pilots refusing to take the time to replace unused missiles (whether this be from pressure from higher-ups or just themselves.) which at the time needed to have maintinence done on them after every flight to make sure any fragile components hadnt broken on the flight.

    • @haivophanphuoc2697
      @haivophanphuoc2697 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There're some other problems dude. The missile poor turn rate can't catch up with the ability of the MiG-17 (yeah, not the 21); moreover, MiG-17 is much slower, that's mean that it'll be likely on their six for most of time.
      American had brought AIM-9 into the early stage of war. In April 4th, 1965, a Vietnamese pilot had successfully evaded an AIM-9 in a hair's breadth. So low quality is not a problem. There's no error in tactic, because there's a moment that the MiG pilot let the F-4 to his 6.

    Daily reminder: the F-4 phantom was an intercepter and not a purpose built fighter, and many intercepters at the time didn't have main guns. F-4 also didn't become a better fighter because of the main gun, it became a better fighter because of advancements in technology.

    Phantom always seemed to me like a strike aircraft. Something like a lighter version of the A6 or A7. It doesn’t look like a dog fighter. I guess that is one of the reasons why the F-16 is the first fighter when we think about dogfights.

      Multi-Role fighter, F-16 was a nice upgrade in terms of agility. The F/4 had a ridiculous top speed and climb rate, the thing was heavy as a tank and left that exhaust trail that made it much easier to spot and immediately identify.

    The total loss of aircraft technology for the United States was absolutely catastrophic. The Air Force, Navy and ILC lost 3,374 aircraft. North Vietnamese aviation, which lost 150 MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21 aircraft, destroyed 9% of American aircraft. The share of the S-75 air defense missile system accounts for 31%, the share of anti-aircraft artillery - 60%. However, a fair amount of weight in these 60 percent belongs to the Dvina complexes, which drove the enemy to the heights accessible to anti-aircraft guns. Also, do not dismiss and significant assistance information from the radar SAM, which provided anti-aircraft calculations.
    So it’s safe to say: Soviet anti-aircraft missiles made a break in the air war. And the statistics here are impressive. Over the years, the Soviet Union delivered 95 complexes of various modifications and 7658 missiles to them to Vietnam. They were spent, and also lost in battles or 6806 missiles were out of order. Thus, for every plane (1046) shot down with the help of the air defense missile system, 6.5 missiles fell. Considering that there were 3,228 combat launches, it turns out 3.1 missiles for every aircraft shot down.
    The threat of being hit by a C-75 rocket so strongly affected the psyche of American pilots that at times it took the form of psychosis. There are a significant number of cases where the pilots, visually detecting the launch of a rocket, left serviceable aircraft.

The CIA supplied many Afghan resistance fighters with Stinger missiles which took a heavy toll on Soviet helicopters and helped turn the tide of the war.

      the u.s. wanted to give the surrounding countries time to build their defenses to withstand the spread of communism. the big picture. that was winning for us. the south vietnamese would not stand and fight. they were going to die. the democrats were in control of the white house. and used a "limited engagement" policy. communism was held in check within viet nam. when a republican gained control of the white house, nixon withdrew our troops. they weren't there to win the war anyway. tet fisseled out. the kids back home didn't want to fight. cut and run began. was it a failure? only that american generation was gutless and had no stomach for the war. good thing our guys at guadalcanal didn't feel that way. we now know communism will collapse under its own weight. just like obamacare.

    Stop the bull----. The U.S lost. That's what matters most. The U.S' F4-Phantom is aerodynamically clumsy compared to the sleek MiG21. It's common sense. MiG21 could easily out maneuver and out run the F4-Phantom. In close combat, the F4-Phantom was a sitting duck over North Vietnam. American pilots have admitted...

      It doesn't matter much. The winner takes it-all. American pilots have admitted. F4-Phantom was no match to MiG 21; in close combat. By the way, most. American pilots couldn't tell the difference between. MiG 17s, 19s and 21s. Check out the ratio. American losses were much higher compared to North Vietnam. That's a fact. *The U.S -LOST! In one day-alone, 8-B52s together with their F4Phantom escorts were shot-down; over North Vietnam. How 'bout.that?. Quite recently, an aging MiG-21 was capable to shoot down an F-16 over Pakistan.

      The mig 21 was more maneuverable but it bled its energy fast. But the f4 is faster and had more thrust and could outrun the mig 21. Once America captured some mig 21s and learned its weakness mig 21 pilots purposefully avoided f4s to the point where f4 pilots wanted to have bomber callsigns to lure out mig21s

  • @pinco752

    F4 is a heavy and unwieldy aircraft. Personally it is horrible to see. MIG 21 was faster, I don't understand how this can happen in the video. If it really happened, congratulations to the pilot.

    • @MarkHoltze
      @MarkHoltze  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you read about enough dog fights, you'll learn that the plane capabilities and weaknesses get exploited by the pilots, those flying against and inside. A pilot who knows a planes weakness knows how to work within it, many more scenario's far more unlikely than this have gone down on record as well. Planes don't win air battles, pilots do statistically speaking.
      Lose your situational awareness, black out whatever...you're done. Luck plays a factor too of course.
