Tbh, I think the YF23 Black Widow would do better at these stealth jobs. It was reportedly stealthier than the F22, but didn't look aggressive enough for the Fighter mafia
In reality it is not stealth, it is problematic to air2air radars / missiles. Long rage / low-band / awacs - not so affected, so datalink should have `em, but it's unfair air-2-air fight after that :)
F-22 infiltration missions are so fun. Just sneaking around and then "whoops, target dead". Of course, it also shows one of the F-22's biggest limitation: the lack of internal weapons storage. I wonder if the stealth drop tank technology being researched to extend its range can also be used to load up more missiles on its wings without compromising stealth.
Stealth weapons pods that open to drop a missile before closing again, letting you use standard AIM-120s or a modern equivalent. They can make a missile with the range of the 120D that's a lot smaller now due to a reduction in the size of the engine needed for the same thrust, might as well take advantage of it. The real question is if they have native stealth air-to-air missiles in the works or not, to allow you to mount them on the outside of the fighter, or if that's even worth the effort. I suspect it may be necessary to modify the payload on a per-aircraft basis to prevent it breaking up the stealth profile of the carrying aircraft in unexpected ways, so weapons pods may be the better bet long term.
@@jakammor4449 They can still get RAM coatings, they do that for the F-35 afaik. I guess it is not as good, but it´s probably better than having a missile with a larger RCS than the fighter itself.
@@martinselame9029 Think of it this way, what would be the mission set of a loadout where you care enough about stealth to use RAM coated externally mounted missiles, but . . . you also DONT care enough about stealth to where you would sacrifice it to have ** Externally mounted Missiles? ** My point being that by the time you are willing to use externally mounted missiles, you by extension must also not care about your RCS, so to put RAM coatings on the outside of the missiles would be completely unnecessary, cuz you already don't care about stealth. You would only run externally mounted weapons if you had already dealt with all Anti-Air weapons the enemy had, negating the need for stealth in the first place. Because before that you would never sacrifice your stealth by even the slightest amount in a heavily contested environment, and afterwards, you are in an uncontested environment where stealth doesn't matter, so the mission set of RAM coated missiles would be completely redundant.
There was a concept by Boeing for a stealthy external weapons pod on a f-18E upgrade. Not sure how stealthy the pod would be. It was supposed to be carried centerline.
Cruising through those snow covered valleys trying to avoid detection reminds me of the Clint Eastwood movie 'Firefox' (1982), where he cruises along the Ural Mountain range in the fictional version of the 'MiG-31' trying to avoid Soviet listening stations that detect and report sonic booms.
That's exactly what I was thinking, such a great scene, especially when he decides to go hypersonic in the mountain range and leaves a trail of destruction behind him. Great SFX especially for 1982.
This was the strategy used by Klingons in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. A cloaked Bird of Prey which was sneakily beneath the Enterprise fired at another Klingon ship, putting the blame on the Enterprise for the attack. A stealth Raptor is like the 21st century equivalent of a cloaked Bird of Prey.
8:02 that's a cool idea for future videos: try to sneak in formation with the Raptor against different planes and see how close you can get before being detected
This video is officially my favorite. I like the commentary a lot, it's why I subbed to your channel ages ago. Combine that with the radio chatter, the mission scenario, the F-22..... *chef's kiss* Now add Longshot to the mix for the perfect combo 😂
Your responsiveness to fan requests is top notch. Love the mission vids, although they're all great. Life has been breaking me down like a shotgun and having its way with me the past couple of years, and especially the past few months. You and Longshot, and all your buddies (Anvil, Toxic, and all the rest) have been a real bright spot for me, and helped bring some fun and happiness to life when I've really needed it. Thank you!
Interesting thing happened over my house in Lake Stevens Washington a few days ago. Two F22 Raptors were flying slow one after another from south to north in the clouds where I could barely make out the shape of it but they were clearly raptors to me. This has never happened in the 32 years I've lived here. It was pretty awesome and wanted to share my only raptor real life experience lol.
I really like the videos of you just talking to the COM/COMPTLR- your primary air controller and the air controller to conceal the AO. I really do enjoy your overall commentary, but hearing your IN WORLD commentary in response to your in world controller is so fucking cool!
At minute mark 2:01 in the beginning…… “Runway should be this way I think”? and then a Birds Eye View immediately pops up and he’s going the ONLY way to go! Much Love and Respect for you bro! Not bashing you at all. Just thought that was funny. 👍
I actually got to do a walk around of the 22, got to see the jets from the 3rd Fighter Wing up at JBER. Only thing real surprise was how big the ol girl was. Those vertical stabs are about the same size as a 16's wing!

"Would you intercept me, I'd intercept me."
Grandpa Buff: Don't worry kid, you'll get your chance. We all will.
imagine being WAYYY behind your frontlines and a f22 forms up with you 🤣🤣
_Let the kid eat!_
"I'd intercept me SO hard!"
"Put the lotion in the basket"
"Century, Command. Bag of chips one o'clock high. Good snacking"
That you, Long Caster?

It's like a constant Russian air safari above you when you sneak deep in the valleys.
A Su-57 with baby drones must be a very rare species.
Rarer now, now that we know they’re cannibalistic.
Itch scratched!! Thanks!
Thank you very much
"Looks like Air France. No factor, continue" Suddenly, that 747 banks hard, dumps the nose, and forces you into a 2-circle.
So real. Imagine if it just releases like 2 r73 missile from a hidden missile Bay lol
Classic. Like that sneak attack in Star Trek VI.
"What happened!?"
"We have fired on the Chancellor's ship."

Trigger would sanitize that airspace within an hour.

Not sure who Erusea is, but I know of some Erusians who can be taken out
Stonehenge can't touch him at that low altitude.
F22 upskirt, F15EX vs. EVERYTHING, and A10 scorched earth missions are always entertaining and appreciated. I can't get enough of them.
Lol f22 upskirt? Tf?
@@TIMOTHYEET69420 it's like this mission. he sneaks in low and then pops up under the other aircraft. lol.. idk. it just seemed to fit

He had done so many times on other videos. He even checks payload before engaging.
What a beautiful job making that base at the beginning. That looked really great.
Your “two idiots” compilations are the best.
It's "Two Morons," not idiots! 😄
Interesting. I liked the comm script.
I agree, brings more immersion into the mission

NEver underestimate the power and the abilities of the F-22 Raptor.
😮 how did you get f22 emoji
@ not sure, guessing after being a member of his UA-cam page from more than two months ago
Aah, nice 😄 sweet.
Gives me goose bumps seeing that f22 just lurking behind
Ah yes, light stealth and heavy stealth.
“What’s heavy stealth?”
“Nobody can detect you if there is nobody to detect you.”
200+ ppl in 3 minutes is crazy fr
2500 in 20 minutes, thats well over 100/minute sustained

thank you man, it's a pleasure to be of service. Glad you're enjoying the videos, thank you as always for watching, much love.
Last time I was this early the JSF was still being developed
You have indeed scratched the itch GS. Big fan of Stealth interdiction missions.
General chang used that tactic in star trek 6 , firing while cloaked 👍

Yep! Very satisfying. Thanks
I kept hearing hitman as hey man.
Like "hey man, this is sentry, patrol of su-27s just passed by behind you"
Overwatch: It is imperative you are not seen.
GS: How can I do that?
Overwatch: I don't know. Fly casual.
"I got that reference!!" 😂😂😂
@@timbaskett6299 me too, and it reminds me to the Family Guy remake too and it makes this reference more funny :D
Keep your distance, but don't LOOK like you're trying to keep your distance.
i love how you could hear the operator chuckle about the "would be a shame if something happened to it" lol
“It would be a real shame….”, FUNNY! 🤣
2:10 it definitely does bro. Your content is the best! These F-22 missions are my favorites!

Best video, yet! I like the dog fighting and all, but I loved your clever tactic more. Well done!!! That was fun to watch.
Fun mission. Nice landing, too!
This video is so cool! The montage at the end is just chef's kiss!
That’s a VERY small taxiway and parking spots for a 135 to be sitting there hahaha 0:42
Too small for the 22s too. GS couldn't even taxi on the centerline!
Thank you for full missions!! Me and my son's have learned so much the past 3-4 years!! 🙏💙💯🇺🇸
thank you both for watching, much love.
Always dug that Sicario sound clip in your videos. The dread it creates is great!!!
We going sneaky deaky like?
Fan-bloody-tastic
Bingo bango bongo
sneaky beaky?
@@SnuffySpaghettibish bash bosh
I wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation to riddle that Blackjack with 20mm before bugging out.
Theres something oddly terrifying about 11:36, just looks intimidating
Can I just say, whoever named the Raptor did a fantastic job.
You can hear the AWACS stifle a laugh when he says, "it'd be a real shame if something happened to it." 😂
Wowa wewa!!!! Look at me! I have F22. King in the castle, king in the Castle!
Love the new content - from launch to landing! ✌
Best video yet? That was freaking awesome!
Love the F-22 stuff. that fighter is pure badass.
Yes, F-22 videos my favorite
That’s pretty epic. Can’t get enough of the f22 sneakery tricks
Make sure to avoid the spotlights in the canyon. If you're spotted, the base will be alerted, and the mission will end in a failure.
Greatest video you’ve posted.
Love coming back to this one!
That was brilliant!!! I think this is my favourite mission to date!👍
Man the F22 is a legend!
That was a great video. Loved it! Look forward to the next one. Thanks!
Awesome scenario. Loved it.
That's absolutely incredible... Love these f22 videos
I've really been enjoying these objective based missions, keep it up!
Please more of these. Love the immersion.
Bravo! More! Love the F22 vids the best, and love it when they don't see it coming! 🤘😎
I love that maneuver. It was also awesome the first time you did it.
You need to name it.
The “Patsy” maneuver ?
Dude, that was pretty freekin' epic \m/

Lold
YES!! MORE F22 and F#% please!! Show us the TRUE future of aerial combat
Thank you for all the raptor content I absolutely love it ❤ 😍
Love the F-22 mission videos, thanks
It still amazes me that the F22 is 80/90's tech. I can only imagine the tech we have now
That is both amazing and scary, just love it.
Getting another batch of F22 content. I'm here for it
Insane! Great video, thankyou!
Cool video. Love the drama effect music. Well done. (Shotgundexter from XSAF)
Hurray!!! He said “hey guys welcome back to another video”!!!
this is the best video so far.

Awesome video !
My schoool bus driver suggested me this to watch
Oh yeah we love missions !! especially Raptor missions !
That was actually really cool for a mission....
I love the mission style videos.
I would love to see F3 5 videos. If I were a pilot in DCS, my call sign would be lawn dart.
Forget it
@ Porque?
Itch being scratched as I watch!
Appreciate your videos!
Great video, so much tension lol
Imposible not to love these F22 infiltration videos 🤣
Absolutely diabolical. I love it.
Reminds me of Star Trek VI when a Klingon ship hiding under the Enterprise attacked Kronos I and the Enterprise got blamed for it.
Love the sneaky stealthy missions. 🤫🤣
Great Stealth!!! Great Flying!!!
Liked this just for the Battlefield bit. Nice one.
More More more Raptor! :D
Flying behind that Blackjack reminds me a lot of a submarine hiding its noise in a larger ship's baffles
