The only mistake was playing that card prematurely. Doing the exact same thing twice in a row only works on people who didn't catch exactly what you did the first time.
Insanely hard challenge. Like watching a 70yr old fending off a 25yr old with guile and tons of experience. - "Pocket full of sand to the face for you, you wippersnapper!" 😂
The 70 yr old setting up for a killer blow until he tripped on his shoe laces.... (joke). Unsurprisingly GS delivers. Soon he'll dogfight an F-22 with the NASA Orbiter (Challenger or Columbia) and find a way to counter his odds and get a chance at the fight. Greatest pilot I've seen. Maverick's got nothing on him (except the P'51, movie star appeal and big wallet. Hang on there GS you'll catch up!).
The missile fired from pylon number 3 at 10:20 is the r-27T /ET which is an infrared-homing missile with no way possible way for the F-4 rwr to detect.
Thanks for the wonderful video! It's nice to see that sometimes when avionics aren't up to the task that the Mark 1: Eyeball still has it. That being said... I hate the Phantom. I had to work on them during my time in the Navy and they're the most messed up garbage platforms to work on. I was so happy to get transferred to the S-3's and much later the F/A-18's (Super Hornets). S-3's were awful to work on, but at least there was enough space you could squeeze your hands in.
Shouldn't he push as hard as he can before he launches a Fox3? I mean he should have no fear of an AIM -7, so getting into No-Escape for his Fox3s should just be a factor of radar tracking and pursuit.
My dad told me in the F-4 when they would dog fight; to clean up the smoke they would put one engine idle and one engine in burner. Smoke goes away and speed isn’t too high at the merge. Try it.
This was great fun to watch. More? Please? Edit: I love the Phantom because I remember them here in Australia alongside our Aardvarks. I just have no interest in flying them because they're so outmatched. Imagine my surprise when I was rapt watching the battle unfold and I really wanted to see a round 2.
Try this: When the Hawks first engaged and sent him cold and you were pushing, start rippling off F1s in intervals to keep him defensive and cold. I'm pretty sure the F-4 is faster on the deck than the Flanker and you could continue to close the gap for a rear aspect F2.
@@danefuentes3877 but it isn't one. I'm talking like his early videos he would show what each jet was doing how manky G's, speed, trails exc. Watch his videos from 3+years ago
@@baggyobeastOh you mean a tacview. Yeah those were cool but I suspect they were too time intensive given his upload schedule. I also liked them, but situationally.
Great one... Yea, totally and "supremely outmatched"... looks like the R-27EA Missile may fly a little slower but therefore a fair bit longer than the R77? Dunno how that can make sense? Perhaps less thrust but longer burn time? I'm no expert, but It definitely felt like the R-27 was able to "hang around" for longer than one would anticipate, only to find you, once you turned around into the bandit and inadvertently into the missile as well.
So just a curious question GS. I know you were working to get into IR range, but at the point where you had him off the nose defending the SAM's, would not that have been a perfect opportunity to light him up with the radar and take a crack with a sparrow? Might have been a low percentage shot, but it would have kept him busy longer
@@andrewlau6466 My thought wasn't really about getting a sparrow kill as it was to keep him defending that few more seconds needed to close to IR range
Just when you thought you were luring him into your trap, he already had you in his. Plus Hawk missiles are garbage. Next up should be F-4E Phantom vs. SU-35. That plane can pack fox threes for days.
Why was there no RWR warning from the missile being pitbull and pulling into you? Was it falling top down into RWR blind spot? Also does the flanker in DCS get the ETs?
Like the video. When he fired this rocket? Is he somehow figured out your plan and fired just when your SAM engaged? Or is the rocket you thought you defeated?

Loved the outmatched situation here with the SAMs. Great content as always.
I appreciate you thank you.

@@GrowlingSidewinderthese are super fun to watch with a kiddo next to me. Much appreciated for the content!!

LMAO! It was a good plan and nearly worked.
The only mistake was playing that card prematurely. Doing the exact same thing twice in a row only works on people who didn't catch exactly what you did the first time.
The SAM launchers turned away in shame when they saw you get shot down.
Loving this series. Your strategy was sound, I thought the Flanker was toast both times. Your worst mistake was declaring victory out loud!
Insanely hard challenge. Like watching a 70yr old fending off a 25yr old with guile and tons of experience. - "Pocket full of sand to the face for you, you wippersnapper!" 😂

@@briannabanx5980 tripping on his shoe laces would be the analogy if he crashed this is more like getting a quick jab to the face mid wind up
Dude, the way you blocked that missile with your face? Chef's kiss. 😂
That's funny!
Truly is impressive of your knowledge of what each of the jets you fly is capable of doing and the weapon systems 🙂
nah the f4 vs su 27 is the wildest shit i have seen today
Go get him grandpa!
If I am ever on a mission with GS and he sounds confident or says "I'm safe". I know it is over.
Just punch out the second he says it! GS's confidence is a missile magnet! He's only a good pilot when he's scared of dying! :P
Famous last words... 😅
These are “signature” GS famous last words. I knew he was dead when he said “I surely defeated that missile, cause I’ve been cold for so long”.

Day 0.5 : hot air balloon vs space shuttle
we need this.
This isn’t Microsoft Simulator with airfourceproud
This is genius
Space Shuttle has this!
confidence was high!!
GS: just where I want him
Su-27: cool guys don't look at explosions
If the flanker dies imma crash out
If the felon was almost dead, the Flanker will probably die.
That SU 27 leaving the wreck of the F4 in the background has to be the coldest outro ever. Great outmatched though! You almost had him GS
The Phantom is such a "muscle car" of a jet... sounds great, looks awesome, an oldie but a goodie.
famous last words "...OH!"
"closing the distance and look at this I got him right where I want him..........." should make a slogan in a Tshirt.
That was an R-27EA, why wasn't the RWR going crazy? Does it work in a band that the F-4 can't pick up?
I’m confused too. Wonder if that was an R-27T or something IR guided.
The missile fired from pylon number 3 at 10:20 is the r-27T
/ET which is an infrared-homing missile with no way possible way for the F-4 rwr to detect.
@@MuhammadAli-255 Yeah that’s what I thought
Well Glock 17 gangsta style Cessna 172 vs F-22 isn’t far off from this. * slowly opening the popcorn bucket *

He was onto you after the first time you tried to push up on him.
f35 vs eurofighter typhoon bvr !! Its a good test against the modern multi roles.
This is a really cool series.
Keep it up!
Day 6 asking for rouge SU-57 vs Russia.
that would be cool
Do you mean rogue?

Great video, made me jumped at the end lol! Love this series.

Come home from work, and there's a GS video posted... what a nice way to relax (except for all of the tension, of course)!

SAM sites I guess
@@JJPlayzOnP5 That's pretty much how it played out!
@@PrimarchX Yea maybe he couldve kept pushing before he dragged to the base I mean he can defend those SAM missiles

@@azrael6067 Not at first. GS pushed quite far out. But whatever.
Well flown. And you had him just where you wanted him for a second.

"I've got him right where I want him. Laughing at my funeral."
"My Fox-2 will" What was that? You were breaking up! I couldn't hear you!
2:55 The pilot's listening to the Daft Punk...
Day 23 of asking for a nighttime dogfight
I'm pretty sure one of the Bandit Unknown videos was at night.
Still waiting for some of that old school 2v2 or 4v4 pvp action you did back in the day! the best content
50 years later and its still the most menacing aircraft I’ve ever seen. The F-14 is pretty, but the F-4 LOOKS LIKE it was built to kill you.
Damnit, I thought you were going to get him there.....had him right where you wanted him.
He played you well man, great video.
3:17 Wait? How’s that fair giving the Su-27 Fox 3’s? He’s got a big enough advantage with the ER Fox 1’s & 2’s.
Thank you very much, fox3s just to make it a little more spicy.
Also remember it’s “outmatched” not “fair fight” 😄
@@GrowlingSidewinder Thought so, cheers mate.
@@GrowlingSidewinder True true, like it wouldn’t have been a fair fight to begin with but yeah, all the more glory if you had won aye 🏆!
Alas! Twas but an illusion!! These are great!
Day one of asking for su 57 vs tie interceptor
It seems like some of those missiles are always there like 10 seconds after you decide that they've surely missed by now.
My dad told me in the F-4 when they would dog fight; to clean up the smoke they would put one engine idle and one engine in burner. Smoke goes away and speed isn’t too high at the merge. Try it.
Aww.. GS! I was rootin' for ya at the end there...
I have to admit that the air-to-air doesn't usually interest me so much, but that was, well intriguing let's say 🤙
Love your content man keep up the good work.
Would love to see this scenario with the Fishbed vs the Eagle
Those long range IR missiles are scary as hell.
Wow, it was extremely impressive that you managed to stay alive that long!
"I'm already so cold" same bro, same💀
This was great fun to watch. More? Please? Edit: I love the Phantom because I remember them here in Australia alongside our Aardvarks. I just have no interest in flying them because they're so outmatched. Imagine my surprise when I was rapt watching the battle unfold and I really wanted to see a round 2.
That missile was like, “hello there”😅😅😅😅
It's not the plane, it's the pilot. Unless it's the F22 in which case it's definitely the plane.
Try this: When the Hawks first engaged and sent him cold and you were pushing, start rippling off F1s in intervals to keep him defensive and cold. I'm pretty sure the F-4 is faster on the deck than the Flanker and you could continue to close the gap for a rear aspect F2.
Would like an analysis of that one
Wel... we kinda HAD one. Re-watch the video. Basically, the SU-27 fired a second missile before turning cold and GS didn't see it coming.

Can 2 Sparrows track on the same target? Lob one high and a little early and follow up a little later.

A bad week for good ol’ sidewinder… dying every episode 💀 good content though 😊
Looks like he had a plan too.
"I'll just mad-dog a Fox-2 in his general direction in case he tries the same shit twice.... Oh, would you look at that. Lucky me, I guess".
Well it was a solid plan though. Good effort!
Love the outmatched series

What was that helmet doing in the mirror?!? Someone getting their groove on
Why was there no RWR warning from the missile being pitbull and pulling into you? Was it falling top down into RWR blind spot? Also does the flanker in DCS get the ETs?
It does get ETs, and this is exactly what it was, a R27-T.
