Great video as always! But doesn´t the Eurofighter carry the Meteor instead of the AMRAAM? And would it be possible to make a bandit unknown in the Eurofighter?
You just know there was some steering committee early on in the project that was responsible for the naming conventions that spent an entire meeting giggling and trying to work up the courage to tell their commanding officers the name they had settled on.
@@augiehicks4588 I still wanna see that kill reproduced by Growling Sidewinder eventually, would be a really cool fucking video. He's been doing so much A-10 A2G recently, why not F-15 A2G? Let's pickle ourselves a Hind eh?

"Today in Growling Sidewinder School"... I've learned more about fighter jets by watching your videos in the last couple of years than in my entire life.
I really like this educational format, I always wished there was more stuff like this on youtube. Thanks for the quality content and info! Maybe in the future would you consider talking about the history of RWR? I'd be curious to know how it works/how it came about
very informative content, perhaps a similar vid for the soviet/eastern munitions, where data is available...? or a comparison of west vs east. AIM9 R27? AIM120 R77? etc.
7:57 Oops! Your final statement is opposite to the entirety of the rest of the video. I heard it as "It can hardly be argued that the AMRAAM is one of the world's best air-to-air missiles." I think you meant to say that one cannot argue AGAINST the proposition that the AMRAAM is one of the world's best air-to-air missiles. Perhaps it should have been, "It can't be disputed that the AMRAAM . . . ." or "It can hardly be disputed that . . . ." Great video!
The best thing with the meteor is not the range. It's its ramjet propulsion that makes its flight energy profile totally different from a traditional missile. It has more maneuverability even during it's final flight phase thanks to it's capacity to keep burning propellant continuously.
@@ZratP exactly, it’s not about range but how lethal it is at different ranges. It’s no point going a long range if you can’t hit anything. Ramjet stay’s lethal.
@@ZratP very true, the ramjet allows the meteor to essentially be "burning" throughout basically the entirety of its flight meaning it loses little to no kinetic energy
Quite different than your usual style of video, but I liked it. Very well organized and put together. Good information that we can probably see put to use in future videos. Nice job, GS.
While the AIM-120 series is an excellent platform it realistically does not hold up to the likes of the Meteor or perhaps even the PL-15, the DOD and the U.S military are acutely aware of this and are attempting to alleviate this with the development of the AIM-260 JATM, what little we know of that program (relatively), it appears to be the next gold standard in long range ARH missile technology.
If we look at Desert Storm, we can surmise that a true full air battle with fourth gen fighters still requires visual identification or clear awacs id to choose to engage enemies with fox-3 missiles. The AMRAAM fits that envelope so perfectly. Long range seems to be a full WW3 idea.
i really love your diversity of videos man. especially the dogfight and multicrew ones. but i didn't know i'd love your educational videos about military aviation and weaponry. big fan of your DCS radar tutorials btw.
GS, man absolutely love this style of video. You have a different perspective to other TH-camrs who do military info channels since you get to use a lot of the equipment and are intimately familiar with the shortfalls and benefits of each! Would LOVE to see more videos like this on other weapons (AIM-9, 7, 54, etc…)
Great video growling you should really do it more of these you have an endless catalog of aircraft and weapons to choose from ! Can't wait for the next one it's a great change of pace just like how the ground videos were not sure if many others would agree but I liked it!

Higher kill count doesn't equal better, unless you are trying to say that the Sparrow and AIM54 are better than the AMRAAM. The point I was making is that without having seen the Meteor in combat, it's impossible to say how it actually will perform and whether or not it is actually better than the AMRAAM.

GS "Thanks for having me Ian. The Aim Seven Sparrow, shared none of the pin point accuracy of that little feathered hunter we see in the wild, the aerial acrobat it was named after, plucking insects out of the air with stunning precision... this thing is more like a near sighted seagull that notices nothing smaller than a garbage barge... illuminated by a search light. Let's examine why for a moment..."
Thank you for pointing out the Canadair contribution to the Sparrow II program. Douglas and the USN gave up on the Sparrow II in 1955. RCAF chose the Sparrow II and Falcon missile for the Avro Arrow with the Astra fire control system. I believe Canadair kept this weapons system alive to be improved to the AAMRAM we have today.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is, however it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subracts where it should be, from where it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum og where it shouldn't be, and where it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called "air"
Python 5, thrust vectoring and more manuevering points that any other missile out something like 18 or 24, and speeds up upon impact i dont think any other missile speeds up upon impact. If what ive seen on them is true, those things will reacquire if it misses. Pretty sure you had a video on one no ?
@@MrHistorian123 And what if in its first actual combat use we manage to find out the AMRAAM is better? Many faces have had egg on it over weapons that were better on paper.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD Please tell me HOW the AMRAAM will possibly be better. Given that the Meteor outperforms it in every single respect, I think that's highly unlikely. And Meteor has been tested and performed to spec in every scenario.
Okay, so here's a tactic you may not of heard about: 1 Fly with your radar on until you get a ping on the adversarial aircraft. 2 Turn off your radar and lower your airspeed to 350 knots. 3 Fire an AMRAAM 4 Wait the requisite time depending on the situation until the missile is nearing terminal guidance zone. 5 Turn your RADAR back on to give the missile guidance until terminal guidance kicks in. 6 Turn your radar back off. 7 Defend. This stealthy maneuver may give you the advantage of not being as visible to enemies.
I love this new way your videos are! I like how it’s very informative and a bunch of videos and pictures to watch. You are very good at making videos like this as I was paying attention the whole time 😂
Missiles are like melee weapons and the aircraft; the weilder. Compared to other melee weapons, the AMRAAM may be outranged or less lethal, but in the hands of an F-22 or F-35, it's still going to be an incredible weapon.
i like how you have such varied content. i prefer the dcs and other flight sim but videos like this are really top notch and i hope you continue to make this type of content
Could a missile use a heat seeker head for terminal guidance after being radar guided towards the target? This would eliminate the missile warning on the targets RWR gear. FOX 4?
Hey GS I’d love to see a video where a jet like the F35 can shine, it’s obviously not strongest as a solo dog fighter but is really good in conjunction with other aircraft, could we see a video series where a given jet is set up for the most success, the mission plays to the strengths of the jet? The offset videos are neat where a jet performs where it’s doesn’t play to its strengths but I think it would be neat to see a jet shine, is the F/A-18 hornet best as a dog fighter or more as a strike/attack aircraft; the A10 close air support videos are grey cuz we get to see what the A10 is built for
Nicely done. Should of mentioned the unofficial name "Slammer", too. We don't know much about the AIM-260 yet, so naming the AIM-120 the 'best' is a bit difficult. 'Most Proven', 'Most Effective' (ie having an effect)? Certainly.
Best in terms of what? It most certainly beats the trial missiles in terms of availability. Also, while something is in trial, I would refrain it from comparing it with anything, or even qualifying it as a weapon. These are experiments, and usually have tons of unresolved issues (see Mk.14 torpedo for reference).
@@balazsfoldes4700 AIM-260 was _supposed_ to have an IOC of 2022, so it's probably well past trials by now. And yes, new weapons are almost always plagued with teething issues. We really can't say much more, though if it's supposed to replace the Slammer I would say it is to the AMRAAM what the AMRAAM was to the Sparrow. Time will tell.
