    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    If "Darkstar" is doing an kinetic run on targets then its designation would not be (S)trategic (R)econnaissance it would be (B)omber or maybe (M)ulti role. Though I like the Idea of (A)atack/(F)ighter - 71. Mach 10 firing a 20mm.

      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.
