    GS, when you "read" or listen "between the lines" of F-15C pilots during Desert Storm - and they will never flat out tell you due to the classified operations of the F-15Cs - is they ingressed @ 55,000+ ft and close to Mach 2 or above. We've been told for decades the altitude of the "Wall of Eagles" is 30,000ft. Contrast with with interviews of ..."high 50's". I don't think you can get the F-15C in DCS to 55,000+ feet however, I think you can get the F-15E to this altitude and most likely you'd need to be above Mach 2. One F-15C pilot stated he got the f-15C with 3 tanks to Mach 1.8 "up high". Clean off the jet with only 8 missiles and Mach 2.0 @ 55K ft is plausible. One pilot stated he got the Eagle out to Mach 2.35 @ 30,000 ft with 8 missiles and a centerline tank. Just some interesting "intel" from reading many books and listening to what pilots don't say in many interviews. Cheers and Merry Christmas from Edmonton.

    About 20 years ago during Exercise Maple Flag at CFB Cold Lake, a CF-5 "killed" an F-15. Nobody believed it till the CF-5's gun camera film was processed and reviewed... there in the crosshairs was a F-15, the CF-5 pilot got a kill credit, he also managed to over stress the CF-5, but hey, a kill is a kill. As you said, never under estimate your enemy.

  • @BryanW0765

    “The closest thing out there to someone killing an F-15”…unless you count the time when one F-15 shot another F-15 with an AIM-9 up in Alaska(around 1990-91). That one also made it back safely. I believe there’s a Stars and Stripes article still floating around. Pretty robust aircraft.

    Great video GS, top 1%!
    This is pretty close to IRL action. Eagle pilots were indeed told not to turn with MiG-29s, but at least one did anyway. The Fulcrum driver went around and around and finally did a split-S and punched out just before the plane hit the ground. Eagle pulled 12 Gs at one point though IIRC. In general though, usual story. Russian crap was all hype and US stuff (MiG-29 flight controls were full of bob-weights, springs, pulleys & impossible to keep in trim, uuuugh) was understated - at least for a day or two. Not sure about the Mirage, but Dan Hampton didn't have much respect for them.

  • @Registered_Simp
    @Registered_Simp 19 годин тому +1

    7:06 Samurra really rolled a Nat-1 during that fight before rolling a Nat-20 on survival. Despite the overall reliability of the Aim-7 being substantially improved by 1991 with the Aim-7M and MH, an astonishing 3/4 of his Sparrows failed sequentially to either come off the jet or light, with the 4th finally working. Samurra would have otherwise shot first, but the discrepancy allowed for quite the time gap between his shot and his opponents, allowing the R-40 shot at him to hit first, though it was a proxy hit. Claims of a shootdown were never really substantiated, though I can guess that repair job wasn't easy. F-15 survivability on display once again.
