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.

J20 vs su57
Growler, while everyone is asking for their pet battle.. I want to say, this one was amazing. Yes, this is DCS, but…. From all the DCS wonks I have seen so far, you are by far the GOAT. When you are taking things 100%, no one can touch you. This is worth the time for anyone to watch again. Thanks!
Have you ever played Iracing and made videos for it on here?
Best video ever! Hands down
Are you able to do a vid on the J8F by chance? (Idk if it’s actually in DCS)
This episode had everything - sneaking up behind unaware targets, long range missile shots, and closing into a merge for a dogfight.
It's basically everything we want to see when watching a fighter plane action movie!
The tension is so much you could cut it with a knife ngl
Damn that last dogfight, the F-22, was on its last bullets. Could it do it? Could it shoot down this final aircraft? And it did by the skin of its teeth, damn this was cinematic
This! This video is EPIC! Thank you boss!
Sneaking under the target is impossible if your rival plane has Distributed Aperture System.
+1
Almost a double ace in 12 minutes. That's the stuff Raptor pilot's daydreams are made of. Balloons just don't hit the same
To paraphrase Bruce Lee, "Balloons... don't hit back."
Don't underestimate a balloon in a merge: They can sit inside your turn circle all day and you never know when their nose is pointed at you.
@@Karackal yes, and they have insane power to weight ratio
@@HighRiskVAbsolutely crazy range too
lol china be wheezing
“Raptor on the loose” is one of the most terrifying sentences anyone can hear as an enemy…
It's like knowing you're swimming with a great white shark in the middle of the ocean.
You will never know when it come behind you
I’m worried that a new submarine may make raptors feel this way
Literally a Raptor like on Jurassic park. It’s not if it’s going to kill you, it’s when will kill you.
Dude, I was thinking the same. Pucker factor 10 after hearing that 😓*
This episode will be an instant classic. The production, cut scenes and real time action all came together so great. Awesome stuff GS.
Truly was. Just amazing from start to finish. The sounds, the cinematography and of course the flying and the commentary. 🙌🙌
I agree
GS's fighter skills + F-22 is always exceptional, but that break by the MiG-29 leader (1:30) and that missile evade by the last Su-57 (12:23) was highly adept and cinematic.
So true. That missile evade was insane. Literally perfect timing after baiting it for the bigger target
Yeah the way that Felon rolled to dodge the AMRAAM was straight out of Top Gun
I was gonna say is anyone gonna say about that roll
I was really hoping to see the close up on that evade. It was nuts.
@@lilIAN97huh That honestly looked and felt like something you'd see in AceCombat. Bro pulled a Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage.
I love how fast those three Su-27s went from "I think there is enemy here!" to "I'm glad I wore my warmest socks today because I'm going to be spending time in the mountains."
“I’m gonna go rogue. I’ll have their entire Air Force grounded by lunch time”
- F22
"How am I going to explain a Mach 2 bumblebee wrecking every jet it comes across?"
@@p_serdiuk Would you intercept me?
@@tntk3218*i’d intercept me*
That flanker dumping all of his missiles to try and get out of the situation, was absolutely amazing to watch. But there’s nothing you can do when you’re up against the raptor, except extend your lifespan by seconds or minutes at that point.
The flanker dumped missiles to lose weight, the raptor was just trying to help out by dumping the rest of the plane with the missiles 😂😂😂
The missile dump is a sign of surrender.
@@Mikeyb646 this
Alright, I've been watching you literally every day for almost 2 years. I gotta say, this mission actually had me cheering out loud. Hands down one of the most intense and awesome videos you've done to date and I haven't had a single one I didn't enjoy. When you gunned that last Felon I LITTERALLY stood up from my chair! Great video and awesome work!!
EXACTLY!
Yesss!!! 💯
Agreed!
Cool seeing the Darkstar (Darkstrike?) in DCS good scenario. Quick ID check for Russian bombers: The targets in question were TU22M Backfires, not TU22 Blinders. A key difference is the intake position; the Blinder's are back by the tail, Backfires have more conventional ones up front. Of course, they all look the same after a JDAM.
This was absolutely sick!! What a kill list! ONE Raptor obliterated basically all the best fighters they have! Its insane what an F-22 can do especially in the hands of an extremely great pilot! Well done sir! 👏 👏👏
It’s such a shame they canceled the Raptor program. Every time I see the Raptor hunting shot where the camera is looking down and rearwards from the prey is bloody scary. Reminds of when the Raptor snuck up on GS and saw it in his rear view mirror. Your soul leaves your body because it knows your time is up.
I would be shocked if Congress didn't cough up a few billion to modernize a fleet of 100 raptors when it comes time to decommission them.
Then again, if NGAD is even half what I think it's going to be, the F22 might become a relic at that time.
Two technologies are in heavy R&D which will punctuate that:
1. Multi-cycle engines that enable ramjets to be paired with traditional turbofans.
Or...
2. Rotating detonation engines. It's likely that these won't be ready for NGAD's initial release. But once RDEs are production ready? Nothing will even come close.
That first MiG pilot reacted almost exactly like GS did when he noticed the Raptor on his six. Just the absolute panic.
Air Force doesn't want them anymore. Meh.
@@jklappenbach B-21 will be using F-35 engines, and NGAD is assumed to be using 2 F-35 engines as well. They're the most powerful jet engines in the world with extremely good reliability so honestly it's a plus. New adaptive cycle engines will be used later on as well.
I don’t think the Raptor program is dead. They can say all they want but I don’t believe for a second that all the engineering and technical documents are lost or destroyed. Live on Raptor!!!
Growler, while everyone is asking for their pet battle.. I want to say, this one was amazing. Yes, this is DCS, but…. From all the DCS wonks I have seen so far, you are by far the GOAT. When you are taking things 100%, no one can touch you. This is worth the time for anyone to watch again. Thanks!
Dude the the shot of the carnage with everything on fire coupled with such a dominant display of the raptor being the pinnacle of regularly functioning air technology was cool af. Thanks for the awesome content GS, you’re an awesome dude.
GS in the Raptor: "You hear that? That's the sound of a missile." All nonchalant.
GS sneaking up behind Migs is rapidly becoming one of my favorite things to watch.
Almost as good as when a real F-22 pilot few under two Iranian jets first to see what they had then pulled up beside them and told them it was time for them( the Iranian) to go home. The Iranian was going to shoot down one of our unman aircraft.
Honestly, if you made these videos when I was a kid I most likely would've joined the Air Force
Yeah absolutely.
You can still join the USAF
@@Mike_Romeo Not at 39, I can't. :)
@mrgoober6320 You still can. 99,9% of the air force personnel are not pilots and the maximum age for entering USAF is 39.
@mrgoober6320 Its not to late to serve your country!
"oh their tracking me?" How scrumptous.
That Flanker was jettisoning his missiles because he knew that he was outmatched and was like the dude who chickens out and drops his rifle as he runs from the battlefield. Raptor was like "Nope. You wanted a ride on the Crazy Train, now I gotta punch your ticket too."
It really shows how destructive the F-22 really is.
Yep, Russia and China are mighty afraid of DCS!
it was really cool seeing the Dark star in dcs, thank you gs for these videos, and the amount of effort you put In them, it really is amazing.
Whenever I watch Habitual Line Crosser doing his F-22 impression, this is the fight that I imagine.
Excellent performance! That’s definitely a job for two fighters, so you worked harder for it. Tiny correction: I think those were Backfire bombers, not Blinders. It’s the newer model with inline ducts, not tail-mounted external turbines. At least that’s what I saw.
No adding the f22 kind of defeats the purpose of the darkstar. Ds is up high enough to not need protection and by starting dogfights near the target you’re just giving time for the enemy to either flee or prepare.
That roll away by the mig had me dying. I just imagine him seeing bullets off to his left, wondering what his wingman is doing and looks over to see him exploding and says "oh sh*t!!" as he rips on the stick
Another excellent video showcasing how diabolical stealth is and the Raptor. Imagine if the Raptor had 8 more AMRAAMs with two external carry pods.
Or if it got loaded with Peregrines
5:54 I'm not even the one playing and I puckered a little bit at that shot, lmao.
No idea why but the view of a wrecked airbase with "mission success" is extremely satisfying
Great video as always!
I love these F-22 v.s. Entire nation videos, they’re a lot of fun
6:53 It's like he dropped his guns so he could bare-knuckle fight xD
The sorta cat and mouse game with the felons while you were just wrecking their comrads was awesome to watch.
The way you single handed the airspace, not only says that you're a good pilot but just how much of a THREAT the F-22 is in dogfighting, you purged fear into their souls
2:59
Su-57 #1: "We are truly kings of skies, comrade."
Su-57 #2: "Da, comrade. Nothing can touch us!"
F-22: "I will allow you to exist and continue living... For now."
The Raptor is simply cheat mode. Truly an engineering masterpiece!
First two planes he took out was straight out of a movie scene fr 😂😂
ok I'm in disbelieve on how well this was put together, executed, your cockyness with a dash of charm and overall supremacy. I could watch hours of this. I'm sold and subbing for that performance
I love it when the 5th Gen's go at it! freaking awesome!!!!!!
What was this: 9 kills on single mission? And they were capable opponents? Really well done!
I hate simping for the military industrial complex, but these machines are gorgeous.
Amazing video and an amazing set of kills GS
2× MiG-29
5× Su-35
2× Su-57
9 Total Kills, a very impressive tally!!
He said 3 were flankers not 35s
@@richardkelly897 Su-35s are also flankers, just as much as the Su-33 is a flanker or the Su-30. I doubt they were Su-27s if thats what you mean but its possible I guess.
1 short of a double ace in a day
9 kills...... Good kill good kill!!
No balloons tho. What good is a $334 million weapons paltform if it can't kill a balloon or two?
That whole sequence around 05:10 straight poetry.
Day 3 of asking to use the F-117 in anyway possible
Oh hell yes!!!!!
I love this aircraft.
SR-71 Blackbird and F-117 Nighthawk ❤️
Interesting but how will F117 ever take down enemy aircrafts?😂😂😂like it ain't built to go air to air, it's a stealth bomber😂😂😂
@user-un7yu1oo5y oh I'm sure uncle Sam has a way to fit aim120d's and other unknown ultra long range misses in her bombbay
that one single bullet hitting the tail of the felon and taking it down was like somn from a movie
we don't need horror movies, just get in a plane and fight a raptor.
That raptor sneaking his way into a kill is something straight out of Star Trek, like a cloaked starship or something...
It really shows how scary the raptor really is, it is on its own league.
"really" is a bit too much. Maybe in movies.
DCS has more SU57 than the Russian Air Force. 😂
твои влажные мечты)))
@@Vados462 да не соглашусь, СУ-57 у нас не так уж и много

This is one of your BEST videos Ive seen GS .. F-22 + GS = calculated execution
What an effing performance. I was slightly disappointed he didn't take on the Felons initially even though it was the correct and calculated decision but then the redemption at the end. The only thing that could have made this flawless is by shooting (at the Migs) a missile at the 1st bandit and gunning the 2nd at the moment of impact so there could be no warning to other crafts. Very well done sir. PLEASE keep these type of Raptor videos coming!
Lol I saw the two felons and said “no way you win against two felons” I continue to underestimate the killing machine that is the Raptor.
Were finnaly getting more F-22 action
The F-22 is my absolute favorite plane, not because its the F-22 its because of its design and looks
I love seeing you play some F-22, Keep it up
Same bro
F22 vibes, is like watching an Alien movie, suddenly everybody is dead and the alien is smiling 🥲
More like watching Predator because it's goddamn invisible
These videos feel like I’m watching UA-cam premium, love these mission oriented ones
GREAT entertainment! Thank you.
Watching you laugh and really enjoy yourself GS is such a treat
Thanks for watching man, much love.
As much as I love "Raptor on the Loose", "Darkstar's target" is another phrase for the books. One, can't really do anything to a mach 10 bird at 100k feet
Such a sense of Confidence and Calmness when you’re flying a mission in the F22…
"I'm the only thing here, that's remotely friendly..." What a star!
6:50
Im very sure the flanker was trying to surrender to the F-22.
As I've said before, my brother and his engineer friends that worked on the F22 back in the early 90's just said " clubbing baby seals" when asked about the jet. That was 30 years ago!
i like how they sent one f22 to do this mission like uncle sam doesnt have 153 of them and can easily send 2-3 more
The fact GS pulled this off solo is pretty incredible
With a skilled pilot, one is enough for the mission it performs. More than one is good but probably ends badly.
Oh, you are flying the raptor stationed at EDWARDS. SUPER AWESOME ❤ 💯
GS you didn't open the door !!! you blew the building up 😂😂😂😂😂
Holy hell this was a good one! 😍😍😍
That was without a doubt one of my fav videos you have ever made. That was amazing to watch!
This was a really fun watch bud 🤙
*The F-22 has radar with 250 miles range BUT it can go into PULSE ARRAY MODE giving it a fairly accurate radar range at 650 miles.*
Best GS yet! Loved it.
Great video GS! Even the maneuver the SU-57 pulled to dodge the AMRAAM looked like something out of a movie. It’s thanks to you that just spent around $6k to get a DCS setup, haha.
Great Video had me on the edge of my seat.
Damn, you should be terrified if there's an F-22 anywhere within a 100 mile radius of you.
It's so creepy that a F22 can sneak up on a conventional plane like that and knock it out.
The real raptor can do it outside of the enemy's radar range.
So cool watching the slow motion of the gun door opening and closing as you make gun kills
Holy hell!! I am reeling after this one! This got me so amped up! This is the best video you have ever done GS! Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece! Top Gun needs to contact you about rights to this for their next movie!!
Great vid. One of the best ever!
The F-22 should be renamed to go along with NGAD. F-22 can be called Current Holder of AIr Dominance, or CHAD.
That first kill reminded me of the video you did where I think it was a f-22 showed up on your wing and your voice got just a little bit higher with fear. Priceless
Yes, he was in a Flanker and he looked in his mirror and saw the F-22 just sitting there
So almost a double ACE in one mission and 2 of them were SU-57s. Nice!
Best dog fighting vids hands down on you tube!!! Keep em coming GS!!
I'm amazed they let people fly the F-22 in wargames. It makes anything else so pointless.
this was supremely badass
These combat scenarios you are doing are really awesome.
You know it's been 10 years and I just now figured out why starscream took the F-22 raptor alt mode.
He's a backstabber. = F-22 creeps up on your blind spots a domes you with 5million dollar missile.
Doesn't fight heads up. = F-22 you have stealth technology
Loving the mission-based content! Great stuff, as always.
This is a fun video. Good job. 😊
I'd love to see a mission like this with the F-22 and F-35
The f35 can’t do shit . It’ll only slow the raptor down .
@@invoker123nuh uh
@@bens4571 chubby chaser?
Actually, F-35 electronics suite will pop up 8 more Raptors on the enemies' scopes/sensors and cause even more confusion. Soul leaves body much faster when there's more than 1 Raptor in the area, real or not. Same results in the end.
@@tn3lxxxv can the raptor finish the mission alone ? Yes . Give me 1 reason y u would even need f-35’s “advanced” tech
That was so entertaining!
I love these senario based videos. They are very entertaining. Keep up the great work!
I love this "We have to clear the airspace for him"... for the plane... the one which flys at mach 9, faster than any rocket, let alone a plane.
"They don't know they flew over a f22." Lol
Bro these bombers, say they are nukes on board, this is the mission.❤ 💯
imagine a squadron of these behind enemy lines with F35s😂😂😂
"We're coming for you!"
"Send your best, I'll wait"
It’s crazy how fast the gun shoots. It’s like each burst is about 300 rounds…but only 5 actually ever land on the target and it’s devastating.
Not sure the exact repetition but only every 5th or 10th rnd is a tracer
@@charlesfollette9692 That would make it even more dramatic. I’m not sure if aircraft are different but for small arms its 4-1 ratio. 4 rounds (AP or whatever) then 1 tracer.
Great and exciting episode!
Ironic that you used a stealth craft to essentially make a lot of noise , but it worked and drew them away from the SR-72.
A visible raptor is a prime target
Not just stealth, combat-capable stealth.
Story mode.. I like it!
🤠
Rev count : 07:08 - My take was the the enemy aircraft might have ditched missiles and rounds and lowered landing gear to surrender.
I thought the same thing lol
this was actually really dope start to finish!
I would love to see more of these mission based videos. Killing it!
Hanging on the edge of my seat the entire time. Loved how you could see the last Felons engines flare out as your cannon rounds hit him.
