Nice video. You have come a long way since the days when a group take off always resulted in the loss of 1/3 of the planes. Further, the discipline and teamwork is now top notch. This is actually much more fun to look at than the old times undisciplined fur ball dog fights.
The F117 getting shot down was a mixture of complacency, espionage and the SAM operator taking a risk. The US runway was being watched by informants who were taking note of what was taking off and when, on this particular night they noticed that the F117s had gone in without wild weasel cover. The US had been using the same approach route to the target which had been fine because the F117s were almost impossible to target and when accompanied by jets armed with anti radar missiles it was a fools errand to switch on the radars for more than 2 quick scans as they'd soon be on the receiving end of some retribution. The SAM operator knew the F117s were coming and tried to scan for them twice but got nothing, however having prior knowledge that they didn't have an escort he risked a third scan and managed to paint the F117 as its bomb bay doors opened and got a lock. While he did manage to shoot the F117 down it was ultimately pointless as the bomber had already delivered its payload onto a command centre
"Pointless"? Are you serious? That was probably the one shootdown that has had the longest and widest ranging consequences in world history, besides Gary Powers getting shot down in 1960 over the USSR in his U2. The wreckage of that F117 ended up in the Chinese embassy and the tech was reverse engineered and is the basis of China's entire stealth program. It also wrecked the 'invincible' reputation of stealth and provided a massive boost to morale. "pointless" ......geez.

When I was a rookie I was taught when responding to a big fight/brawl to drive slow and run the siren so that everyone involved who was still effective had plenty of time to run away… I imagine the f-14 pilots with obsolete missles doing the same
TBH this mission is quite stupid. You deliberlty put all the sams away from the plant and made your self and easy route. I mean you are telling it is a vey important plant but with no form of on-site protection:))) In a more realistic scenario the sams should be place densly around the plant and you would need to first perform SEAD/DEAD, then there needs to be CIWS and ECM on the site (such as Tor, Majid, Krasukha 4) so you can not use GPS guided bombs that easily.
My Therapist has a Flight License, and at least in the US, one of the tests for that is flying entirely by instruments. If you use the windows you fail. The instructor/proctor is the co-pilot, so they can take over if you flub. But you have to be able to fly blind to fly legally, at least in this jurisdiction. Also pretty sure your HUD let you know you were upsidedown and falling while you were lost in those clouds.
I think a lot of the problems the Grim Reapers have is that they like to fly to close in formation (parade) and it's making your radar cross section way to big. I think spreading out at least 5 km or more from each other when flying stealth aircraft. I wrote this as you just said it doesn't matter in DCS. Lol
@ Cap, I understand your views of flying in cloud. I served in the RAF between 1986 and 2013 and in the mid 90s I was part of a security detail flying on a VC10 cargo aircraft which had to be refueled in flight. We were in full cloud and peering out of the fuselage windows looking for the refueller when out of the gloom emerged a Tristar tanker on our starboard wingtip, also in full cloud. Needless to say all went well, but to see two large aircraft in formation at that range in cloud was somewhat concerning for those of us who didn't fly.
Hypersonic is just the arms race the public is allowed to see. The real competition behind the scenes is to see what other things you can use anti-shipping missiles against.
Would love to participate in one of your wargames, I can refuel and am comfortable with all things Raptor. In your Discord as well, how can one get involved?
According to my dad [who spent many decades in the middle east]; They pretty much all hate all of their neighbors, but its usually a tribal thing, not nationality (as the national borders do not represent the tribal lands AT ALL). But, they're usually happy to try to put that aside because they hate Israel and/or America much, much more. Isn't it nice here in the western world where I (in England) only 'hate' the French and the Scotts as a [now] friendly rivalry.
Things have changed a lot in the Middle East in the past 10 years. Especially after the Abraham accords. In fact I believe it was Jordan and Saudi Arabia who shot down the majority of those missiles that Iran fired at Israel. Times are changing. Which is a reason Hamas launched their attack because they were afraid that Saudi Arabia was going to normalize relations with Israel which they're pretty close to doing already
I recommend listening to episode 105 of 'The Red Line'. It is an excellent international security podcast, and that particular episode focuses on Iran; interviewing a number of subject matter experts. One of the most significant take-aways, is that the Iranian people by and large are far more progressive and cosmopolitan than their government would suggest, at least in urban regions. However, they are also generally patriotic. One of the analysts on that episode suggested that the revolution would likely have collapsed if not for their war with Iraq, given the regime's extensive unpopularity and the raft of crisis they were undergoing, and furthermore, that an outside force attacking it likely result in a similar outcome of propping up the struggling regime.

I'm thinking the dedicated for big games but it is what it is!
I'm running a fairly middle of the ground gaming desktop, it was top-of-the-line a year and a half ago when I bought it. But it flies these missions very easily
Now when they're running these big ones they're all on a dedicated server. But as a individual DCS player she don't need that at all unless you're wanting to host you know 10 or 20 people
Awesome, glad to hear you're able to play with a not so top of the line computer, even though I went a little crazy on it I didn't buy the highest end at all, so cool deal. And yeah, kinda figured it'd require an actual dedicated server vs a vps for instance, thanks for the info.
In what sense could friendly/unfriendly commercial aviation be used as an early warning system by a defending country and its allies? I guess stealth missions would always happen at night and at altitudes very different from typical commercial aviation, but I guess it can't be entirely forgotten about in the planning of such missions?
Well commercial aircraft don't carry the type of Radars to detect other aircraft. They have tcas systems or Tcan can't remember, which is a proximity alert. But no commercial aircraft can't be used as an early warning unless they were actually able to visualize the aircraft. And at night time that's not going to happen because stealth aircraft especially bombers fly way higher than commercial aircraft
I come to think of a thing, if this were to be real, imagine beeing the boom operator looking out at 7 raptors in formation to fuel. Id feel mighty safe!
*_"Make sure you got your radars off guys, we're doing a stealth mission, remember."_* Says CAP as they are all flying in formation with A BIG NON-STEALTHY KC-135 STRATOTANKER. 🤭🤭🤭
Cap, I know you are always concerned about us not being entertained by night missions but we do like the atmosphere of other times of day. Dusk and night time raids have a different vibe. Plus seeing the tracers coming out of the jungle to get the B-52s was cool.
Most GR missions require specially edited version of DCS mods to work, so if I shared the missions they wouldn't work properly anyways. The fully core-game missions we do I'm happy to share.
Very curious about that story of you flying into IMC with an instructor on board. They shouldn't have allowed that to even come close to happening. Mine would get jumpy if I came within a few meters of a tiny wispy translucent one on a sunny day.
I do not know how you would pull it off -- or even if you could -- but it would be great if you could do some kind of crossover video with the character _"Grandpa Buff"_ from the *HABITUAL LINECROSSER* UA-cam Channel.
They already tried this with one of the stealth bombers. Iran shot it down. They apologised profusely. They didn’t realise it was invisible. Maybe it was Serbia🙄
Cap, you need to work on your instrument flying. When refueling in the clouds, as long as you do not lose visibility of the tanker you will be just fine. Use the tanker as your ADI...if he turns, you turn. I'm a little embarrassed for you. LOL
Yeah I wouldn't be embarrassed for him, because he's not and when you consider everything he has to do for these videos plus fly about 40 different types of aircraft, it's hard to stay proficient on anyone😂
I have a question. How do SEAD mission missiles detect and hone-in on the enemy radar? Do they have many antennas of different lengths for different bands?
I wonder if they use a simple technique used by amateur Arduino hobbyists to calculate the angel of solar panel array relative to the Sun?! Where a plastic divider the shape of a "+" has a photo resistor in each quadrant and shielded from its neighbors. When they are looking directly at the Sun, all four receive the same amount of light. Otherwise, they won't, because one quadrant is not getting the same amount of light as others. By reading the analog values, the position of the Sun relative to the sensors can be calculated easily. Could it be that simple of a technique for detecting the direction of radar emissions?
@@piconanothe anti-radiation missile, have microprocessors and such and they lock onto the enemy radar from information downloaded from the aircraft. Now if they turn off that radar, the missile remembers where it was coming from and will fly to that spot. That's why once they've detected you it's very difficult to not get hit even if you turn your radar back off
I can't believe Cap did an entire mid-air refuel without once using the word "giggity" . . .

Awesome, glad to hear you're able to play with a not so top of the line computer, even though I went a little crazy on it I didn't buy the highest end at all, so cool deal.
And yeah, kinda figured it'd require an actual dedicated server vs a vps for instance, thanks for the info.
I've been to the Iraqi enrichment site. There's a village in the crater (for lack of a better term) now.
Operation Ivy is pretty amazing also
I'm in a Raptor. I'm just looking for things to shoot.
Thats the spirit!
In what sense could friendly/unfriendly commercial aviation be used as an early warning system by a defending country and its allies? I guess stealth missions would always happen at night and at altitudes very different from typical commercial aviation, but I guess it can't be entirely forgotten about in the planning of such missions?
Well commercial aircraft don't carry the type of Radars to detect other aircraft. They have tcas systems or Tcan can't remember, which is a proximity alert. But no commercial aircraft can't be used as an early warning unless they were actually able to visualize the aircraft. And at night time that's not going to happen because stealth aircraft especially bombers fly way higher than commercial aircraft
Can you use the space defense system, curious think that would be pretty cool.
Good fun mission. It's almost like they practice on the Stone bridge server 😅
Agreed
You can sing babyshark all you want. ...Still have no idea what it sounds like
I come to think of a thing, if this were to be real, imagine beeing the boom operator looking out at 7 raptors in formation to fuel. Id feel mighty safe!
*_"Make sure you got your radars off guys, we're doing a stealth mission, remember."_*
Says CAP as they are all flying in formation with A BIG NON-STEALTHY KC-135 STRATOTANKER.
🤭🤭🤭
Perfidious Albion.
Cap, I know you are always concerned about us not being entertained by night missions but we do like the atmosphere of other times of day. Dusk and night time raids have a different vibe. Plus seeing the tracers coming out of the jungle to get the B-52s was cool.
F-35's just went into Iran with absolutely no issue.
Iran did get SU-35, so there should be a new mission with SU 35.
This would make a great Tom Clancy chapter!
is there a link where we can download your missions ? awesome video like always cap
Most GR missions require specially edited version of DCS mods to work, so if I shared the missions they wouldn't work properly anyways. The fully core-game missions we do I'm happy to share.
Great mission again! Feels like a cheat code. LOL
The F-22 is so badass
TU22 reportedly shot down by SA2, now thats worthy of some investigation.
Ahhh, all the way and back home again🤣
Are B-2's not usually flown at night when there is active SAM defenses?
Very curious about that story of you flying into IMC with an instructor on board. They shouldn't have allowed that to even come close to happening. Mine would get jumpy if I came within a few meters of a tiny wispy translucent one on a sunny day.
I do not know how you would pull it off -- or even if you could -- but it would be great if you could do some kind of crossover video with the character _"Grandpa Buff"_ from the *HABITUAL LINECROSSER* UA-cam Channel.
They already tried this with one of the stealth bombers. Iran shot it down. They apologised profusely. They didn’t realise it was invisible. Maybe it was Serbia🙄
You aren't in IFR and the weather isn't IFR....its IMC!!!
IFR just means flying by instruments!
Cap, you need to work on your instrument flying. When refueling in the clouds, as long as you do not lose visibility of the tanker you will be just fine. Use the tanker as your ADI...if he turns, you turn. I'm a little embarrassed for you. LOL
I've used TACAN but is there any advantage to ADI that TACAN doesn't have?
Yeah I wouldn't be embarrassed for him, because he's not and when you consider everything he has to do for these videos plus fly about 40 different types of aircraft, it's hard to stay proficient on anyone😂
Completely agreed, I am prone to panic in IFR.
This one is very nice.
A milk run
You should do this with these bombers on the battle of iwo jima. I imagine those bombs might do better
rgr
What about flying ground level and hiding in between valleys?
In and Out Expidite...Never to be seen!

Samuel L. Jackson.
lol at cap thinking the age 18 has anything to do with parenting…. My kids have kids and it just doesn’t matter
noooooo!!!!!! My dreams! :)
Out of curiosity could you do a video of this flying over Moscow to drop leaflets. I always thought it would be funny to say hello to Russia
No plan best plan!
There's a bit more than that for Iran air defence, double that with BUKs,
I have a question. How do SEAD mission missiles detect and hone-in on the enemy radar?
Do they have many antennas of different lengths for different bands?
I wonder if they use a simple technique used by amateur Arduino hobbyists to calculate the angel of solar panel array relative to the Sun?!
Where a plastic divider the shape of a "+" has a photo resistor in each quadrant and shielded from its neighbors.
When they are looking directly at the Sun, all four receive the same amount of light. Otherwise, they won't, because one quadrant is not getting the same amount of light as others.
By reading the analog values, the position of the Sun relative to the sensors can be calculated easily.
Could it be that simple of a technique for detecting the direction of radar emissions?
They detect the waves passively. They are called anti radiation also.
@@BouncingZeus Well of course they detect it passively!
@@piconanothe anti-radiation missile, have microprocessors and such and they lock onto the enemy radar from information downloaded from the aircraft. Now if they turn off that radar, the missile remembers where it was coming from and will fly to that spot. That's why once they've detected you it's very difficult to not get hit even if you turn your radar back off

Fun Fact: George Michael sang “Last Christmas” then he actually DIED ON CHRISTMAS DAY! Coincidence?! I think not…..🧐
