On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

*Python5 likes this
Soooo....the big ass radar target known as an Su 35 is gonna survive long enough to merge WVR and shoot IR missiles at an F-22??? Well anything is possible- I can win the Lotto tomorrow!😂
That last missle had more dedication than I've ever had for anything in my life.
Agree. A full 360 degree loop past the target and re-locks on target. /smh
Find yourself a partner that chases you like that 9X
I'm wondering if those missiles have a way to not target it's own plane when things get stirred up like that?
@@snakerstran9101 My understanding is that they have a discriminate seeker that focuses on a specific thermal frequency for tracking so, yes, it should be able to discriminate between two different a/c.
"To the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee."
- F-22A and AIM-9X, probably.
I swear, this channel has the most interesting kills. At least your own missile didn't kill you this time.
Khan Noonien Singh is that you ?
LOL
You should see his Falklands vid with an A4 Skyhawk VS A Sea Harrier
Round 3 - "Victory is mine!!! Eject...eject...eject!" I'm imagining the look on the officer's face when you walk back to base holding a panel of your plane asking to paint a Raptor on it. lol
You almost kill me too 🤣
Not the first guy to ever say, “That’s the first time that’s ever happened to me” 😂
We all said that at some point in our lives.....Most of us when we were in high school lolololol
That final Aim9x definitely knew where it WASN'T!!😂 11:53
The missile doesn't seek to put blame on the wind or turbulence for its failures. To the missile, this is unnecessary and a waste of time. The missile doesn't seek to become the victim of circumstance, it aims to be in control and take responsibility.
I don think his 9x tracked. 9X: excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about your planes extended warranty?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man I'm DEAD!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lesson learned:
_Refrain from assuming the AIM-9x didn't track, because this time, it knows where it is and where you are_
"I think he shot off a 9X but it didn’t look like it tracked... [BANG] ... oh, this again?!" 😂😂😂😂😂
AIM-9X when fired at uncooperative target:
"He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round Perdition's flames before I give him up!"
"Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him.'"
Khan was paraphrasing the quote above, It's Melville - Moby Dick.
Later Khan quotes a portion Ahabs last words as he harpoons Moby Dick and strikes the blow that will prove fatal to the leviathan, "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!
enraged and mortally wounded The great whale makes a fatal attack to the Pequod and sounds for the last time, with Ahabs iron in him. the unkempt harpoon line tangles with Ahabs neck, pulls taught and drags the Captain overboard, joining his nemesis on his final dive into the depths.

5:37 F22 "im leaving here with somthing"😂
You know that 22 pilot laughed his ass off after the collision!😂
Five jumps. That entitles you to a set of wings at Ft. Benning.
Those confidence-seeking missiles came back with a vengeance this match.
Confidence-seeking? That means they'll never hit me!
Wait...
Uh oh
The missile knows where it is, and where GS isn't. And by flying to where GS isn't, ended up where GS is.

"Khan....I'm laughing at the superior intellect." -James Tiberius Kirk
"I don't like to lose." - F-22 Raptor at 5:40. Also some space captain might have said the same thing.
Uh.... yeah. Khan was quoting Melville my dude.
Captain Ahab of the Pequod said that before Khan was an itch in his great grand daddy's pants.
Khan might have been a psychopath... but he was an exceedingly well read psychopath, with a very well developed sense of historical irony.
At the start of rounds 3 and 5 the F22 turned into combat too early. This allowed the Su-35 to launch the missile perfectly and take the kill.
Yeah, they didn't properly complete a merge, so it was kinda fitting GS still lost.
The F-22 threw the fight in those rounds to give the Russian viewers something to cheer about
Why fid the F-22 keep turning into the nose of the SU 35?
Strange
@@babymaker7895 Honestly I kinda feel like this might be the case. The Raptor merged too quickly, gave up authority in the fight near immediately, and then was basically a free kill.
yeah. its bothering me
2:17 Kid: "I...I can finally eat..!"
*burps and grimaces*
Why did that thing taste like beetroot soup, sausage and... fish eggs?
"Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me. 😏"
"I didn't know I could get perogies in Iran." The Kid.
Franklin be cheerleadin for him
Can you do a video of the same aircraft five rounds and than swap the aircraft with the other guy? I want to see if it's the aircraft or the pilot. Thank you for making these videos, I really enjoy watching them.
If both planes are equal on an equal playing field then pilot skill will make more of a difference. Comparing Airframe capabilities is very situational and mission dependent.
Just ask for any acft vs. the same type. There, all pilot skill will be on display. I'm down with that. Run a best of 5 fights. Winning pilot carries on, so if GS gets smoked, he will just narrate the next match on his channel.
I'd also like to see GS with those 9X's. NAVAIR claims those missiles can track behind launching aircraft.
Gs I’m the raptor would have won 4 out of 5. Maybe 5 of 5. So raptor wins both, which we already knew.
Yes this!
Even when you kill a Raptor it still kills you back.
Round 3:
SU-35: Fox 2!
F-22: Fox 0!
Rounds 4 and 6:
SU-35: Fox 2!
F-22: Magic missile!
You know there's a missile called literally "magic"
@@-..----.--.-... matra magic
5:40 Hold this F-22 for me my dude!
The 9X doing a full loop and still downing an aircraft will never get old. Absolutely insane engineering.
That Ave Maria sounding song is getting quite a workout. I didn't know the F-22 was equipped with Fox 4 munitions.
It had Martyrdom equipped.
The chasing missile scenes in every movie can now be considered accurate
Everytime that 9X made the connection after you think it missed was a classic as you were saying moment.
Seems like both F22 losses were when the F22 turned waaay too early into the merge. Basically turned out in front.
Ah, the old knife fight in a phone booth scenario.
5:36 "Enjoy your walk home, Cowboy."
5:40 "OUR walk home, Comrade."
End of round 1 was like a freakin cinematic dude. The F22 with that song just majestic, I could watch all day.
5:40 Call an ambulance!
But not for me.
F22 gets hit by missile, F22 'I take that personally'.
Even in death, the Raptor still wins.
@@baero5😂😂
He needs some milk!
he really likes turning in really early, really makes it easier for the su35 to get a fox 2 off
"I think he shot off a 9X but didn't look like it tracked..."
AIM-9X: And I took that personally.
9X: "Not enough separation? Hold my beer..."
"That F22 nose is comin around pretty hard" famous last words
The F-22 greatest advantage is it's Stealth capability at longer ranges. To merge with another aircraft in a dog fight represents a failure of the F-22 pilot. In all reality, the F-22 will get the kill long before a merge happens.
GS: Fox 2.....splash....
F22: Fox 4....splash...
Fox 4 used to be the brevity code for the gun, but they got rid of it
Fox ''gimme a hug'' splash
Considering the average F-22 pilot probably has as many flight hours as an entire Iranian squadron, I'd guess this went substantially better for you than it would for the Iranians.
Don't underestimate the iranians, otherwise you're in for a surprise,
arrogance will be anyone's downfall, remember that well.
@@reza7908 An asthmatic toddler is never going to beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Sometimes arrogance is justified.
@@valaran3968 Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, remember that well bud.
Man, I hope that is an accurate representation of the 9X. That was nasty. Round 4 loop was cool. Round 6 was just nasty. To do that big of a loop and hint you down like that. Definitely can say it had a lock on you.
Hate it when you fly a none Allied plan. Always end up rooting for the other guy. Lol.
That round 4 sidewinder's been watching too many Hollywood movies.
Let's dream that GS will one day play in F-35 or Dassault Rafale
bro I hope...I hope...
I think he avoids playing in mods that don't have much polish, he doesn't have a problem facing off against them though. Hopefully the mods continue to improve.
Is the Mi-28 Havoc available in DCS ?
That AIM9X on the third go was the equivalent to a 360 no scope
I kinda appreciate the fact that you can also lose sometimes. I like how you recover and laugh. Reminds me this simulation. Is not easy.
Hard to lose with these "Dude Perfect" missles!
The F-22A Raptor is very impressive, but the AIM-9X is the true star of this video, bravo
" You Know he really Hates it" !!! "Rock The Casbah"😂😂😂
A9x certainly have amazing tracking capabilities.
5:40 You intercepted him. You intercepted him good.
I think that this scenario may actually happen. Just had a huge amount of F22's land at a local airbase to me here in England last week. All wearing external tanks. All serviced and refueled and turned around within 24hrs! Great video as always. Best wishes from across the pond. 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Every 9X is personally trained by a Thunderbird or a Blue Angels Pilot, and has the spirit of a WW2 Japanese Pilot
GS's new secret move: 1. Win fight. 2. Die anyway.
Day 50 of asking for a modern Falklands scenario: Typhoons and Lightnings vs. Falcons.
Just the F22 doing F22 things.
The Su-35 is a very nice looking aircraft but the F-22 is the UNDISPUTED KING.
Sorry GS, I have changed my mind from your usual last words from "I think I am safe" to "The 9X didn't track again" Great to watch mate. Thank you.
I love how the only reasons the F-22 lost was because he (the Raptor) Syrian lead turned.
Yes I dont understand well why he gave his six turning earlier.
Yeah, it looked like he cheated a wee bit in the merge and turned too early.
@@telesto912 it was the Raptor who Syrian lead turned, meaning you turned too early and get put in a disadvantage because of that.
Cope
@@bman7716 😑
4:00 ring ring, hello? Avon calling. **splat**
carcass of the f-22 "My pilot might be bailing out, but I'm not done with you yet"
I couldn't help but chuckle when round 2 was "Thats a-" splash
4:30 That was a CLEAN barrel roll...
12:21 Dude!!! That thing had your name written all over it!
Great video : )
I get the concept, but let's be real, the only way an Su-35E is getting that close to an F-22 intact is at an air show.
That 9x really went all like "Sorry I missed you, but lets circle back soon"
One of these days an Aim-9x is gonna flip around and hit the launching aircraft lol
in only the rounds that the F22 lost, it just didn't wait for the merge and it jumped in too early which allowed the flanker to turn behind it and take a shot without even having to stretch the aircraft's capabilities to the limits
At least two of those F22 wins were entirely the technology of the missile. Not pilot manuevering or anything else... clean misses that self-corrected enough to put a Mk.48 torpedo to shame.
That....uh.... that's how BVR fights work my dude.
GS has had Russian missiles do the same thing, so it's equal.
In a BVR fight, you want to lock on and serve a missile as quickly as possible in the merge. How well your aircraft can maneuver is important, but it doesn't matter because radar on these aircraft actually moves and turns to track the target. You don't need to point the nose all the way around to get a good lock.
The F22 is most certainly a "frustrating opponent"
11:20 gave me a little heart attack, I jumped a little bit 😂
As always, great video. Thanks man. Keep it up
Good day for the Raptor apparently, even when you kill it it still kills you! Great flight!
5:35 F22 Pilot: "We call it a draw"
5:40 I'm convinced the Raptor pilot was just doing a trick shot. 😂😂😂
That last 9X was on a mission
Imagine the look on the 22s pilot as he watched the carcass of his beautiful jet avenge it's own destruction.
Significant level of US plot armour involved in this one!
That last 9x seemed like it could have gone for either of you. Would have loved to see the tacview for that.
round 2 was the 22 just going "Hey, hold this for me, if you could."
It was interesting listening to GS whinging about himself! 😂
I’ve noticed that the times when the 22 loses, the 22 driver turned too early.
At 6:05, I suppose you can wave at each other on the way down lol.
"Both in chutes. Switching to pistols"
@@snakerstran9101 lol!
5:45 "Hey! What is your name?!"
"Ezekiel..."
Those two pilots are definitely having a fistfight when they reach the ground after round 3.
I feel like Ava Maria would be an excellent kill cam song.
the two pilots meeting each other in the terrain and chacking hands after the aircollision.
F-22: So OP if it goes down *IT’S TAKING YOU WITH IT!*
The only times when the 22 got hit were when he got to hasty and started turning before the merge and became an easy target
Aim-9x (mini Raptor)! thanks DARPA
To be fair, it's probably unlikely these two ever end up in a dogfight. The F-22 or the F-35 will get them in BVR.
Those circling missiles were killer!
That last amraam really took the scenic route.
I saw an F-22 today low level in Panamint Valley, just by the Ballarat turn. Power bank, Very cool.
I have always liked the slo mo opera epilogue.... very satisfying
Raptor and 9x is like a perfect comedy duo. I had such hella laugh when the 9x just basicly said, no i will just turn arround
Nicely Done! Excellent production. Big Fan here.
11:18 GS: "I think he shot off a 9x but it didn't looks like it tracked, uh I got to..." BANG!!!
9X: Seems like you still haven't learn a single lesson from the previous one
The Aria music on round 4 killed me! 😂😂😂
Dude, my jaw literally dropped wide open when you T- boned that Raptor! Never seen you do that before. Wild ...
loooool yesss, not my proudest moment.
