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. - Ігри

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.
They say 333 to start the MLRS or artillery set. For radar-dish they say “half hundred” (the model of the modification/platform). 😉

Finely the mig 25 is on skyes , I will like to see that 1991 mig 25 vs f 15 story , I request it so many times I really want to see it on your channel
maybe next time, F-4 escorts B-52s and Mig-25 intercepts.
Only scenario that makes sense
Naturally!
That’s what the MIG25 was intended for.
It would end in the same way- Foxbats expending all missiles on more nimble Phantoms scoring a few hits or not a single hit at all then either run away or merge and get slaughtered.
No, he want to do some Shit scenarios....
@@kahlrhoam6769it was actually intended for the XB-70, B1 would be a better substitute than B52
The Mig-25 was designed to be a fast, high altitude interceptor, not a dog fighter.
I doubt the F4 and Mig 25 ever met but if so then what ever
Doesn't excuse the fact that russian pretended it was a dogfighter.
@@LinkSkyward-vu1uo I mean, if your enemies incorrectly evaluated the role and capabilities of your brand new interceptor, would you correct them?
@@JagdgeschwaderXin Israel
@@JagdgeschwaderXf4's missile won't be able to hit mig 25 because of altitude
Unfortunate for the MiG-25 pilots to be assigned as escorts. They can't hit and run when they've got Bears to protect, so they're forced to dogfight...in steel airplanes.
Yeah, seems an odd match really
My first thought too. They're boom and zoom interceptors meant to shoot down bombers and leave the AO not escort friendly ones. They really had no chance here.
@@pyronuke4768agreed on all. but I think it wouldn’t be an entertaining video if he got clapped immediately by the foxbats don’t you think?
It would show that he needs skill to survive ;) and that's the fun of those videos....and tacview.... But that seems all missing lately :/
I would have to assume that if the Mig-25 hits a merge or even visual range the Mig-25 is in big, big trouble.
Yeah, you don't knife fight in a telephone booth using the 25.
I feel like a full power climb would get you away no matter what direction you are pointing.
@pyronuke4768 maybe, it worked pretty well for the sr71, they usually didn't get that close though.
Merge? yes. Visual range? No. Tbh even in the merge if it wanted to just speed away it could.
If a Foxbat is within 10 miles of a hostile he royally fucked up.
Man! I love all the little touches in your editing. The sound effects, the low radio chatter in the background, it’s like a short film based on a Tom Clancy novel. Thanks again for the hard work and great content, brother.
Really appreciate it when people notice those little things, thank you very much. Much Love.
25's make the Lead Sled look like a ballerina
If there's a cooler looking aircraft than an F-4 in full camo, I don't know what it is. A very long time ago, in the early '70s when I was young, my family was traveling through SE Asia. We were flying from Bangkok to Hong Kong. The airplane flew out over the South China Sea, avoiding Viet Nam airspace. Mid way through the flight, the Captain comes over the PA and says for everybody to look out to the left side of the plane. About 50-100 meters off the port wing, an F-4 in full camo was escorting our airliner through the local airspace. I just remember seeing a fighter plane in full camo. I found out later it was an F-4. When I was a few years older and got into building model airplanes, that was the first one I built.
Launch tanks into orbit. That really made me laugh!!! Thanks!😂
Then descend and reverse the turn to try to reattach the tanks? Almost. 😂
If I remember right the Mig - 25 was a knee jerk fear response by the Soviet Union to counter the XB - 70. Which never came to fruition. When I was in the Navy, every once in a while, we would get intel reports that the Mig - 25 s squadrons in Eastern Russia, especially in winter, would be out of service. The whole wing at once. The reason? The mechanics drank the 100% anhydrous ethyl alcohol hydraulic fluid and they didn't have any in stock to replace it. Why? Because the mechanics drank the 100% ALL the ethyl alcohol hydraulic fluid.
Just call in a flight of Tu-22s to replenish! 😆
Using booze as hydraulic fluid... Why didn't they realize this?
@@WinVisten To me this sounds like the most Russian thing ever. We were stunned when we read those reports and it happened more than a few times.
@@WinVisten The Tu-22 carried pure ethanol as a refrigerant for its air conditioning system...
I thought MiG-25 was a response to intercept SR-71. Was that the MiG-31?
Was that 5 Kills? Did you just become an Ace in 15 minutes?!?!? Fricken great flying!
3 mig 25 and 2 bears. Do bombers not count is ace status?
@@aarontheaviationaddict3643 Thanks!
@@aarontheaviationaddict3643 he scores 1 mig-25 then 2 bears then 2 mig-25s at the end, proving that you are a disloyal viewer who didn't watch the whole video 😊
@@beaverdam1199 Did you count? That's 5 kills?
Don’t forget Mig -25 also scored the only Iraqi to air kill of Desert Storm against an F/A-18.
correct sir, and excellent point.
If only we had a flyable mig 25
Yes we do.
Long time subscriber, first time commenter. I dig the channel btw. I like how you launched the fuel tanks into orbit. Here’s a “2idiots” suggestion: throw fuel tanks at bombers/tankers/AWACS/transports. Silly but could be interesting.
Unconfirmed reports said NORAD & NASA are tracking 2 cylindrical objects heading towards Mars. Nor China or North Korea have claimed interplanetary launches. Here's Tom with the weather.
The MiG-25 is excellent if used for it's intended true purpose. It's fatal flaw is it's extremely, almost comically narrow design case.
The MiG-31 however... Now, that thing is an absolute monster. Someone saw what the MiG-25 _could_ do, and decided that it should. Slight changes to wing geometry, better engines, more hardpoints and a reinforced airframe made this thing a very, very formidable beast. Very difficult to shoot down something that can maintain such ridiculous speeds, and something that can operate at such high altitudes. Most aircraft are at risk at higher altitudes in BVR engagements. Honestly, the thought of MiG-31's probably kept a good few people up at night.
Nice work. The Foxbat is a fast interceptor, but it looks like it doesn't even stand a chance two-circle, let alone one-circle. I'm surprised, though, with its long-range weapons and powerful RADAR that it didn't do better BVR. Poor choice of tactics, maybe?
poor choice for scenario from GS i think))
Still waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”
BStill waiting GS to do BF4 Rendezook challenge
idk why it'd be interesting the mission is just on rails
Every time I see you in a Phantom, I click.
Gotta appreciate the plane that directly led to the development of the F-15. Just imagine what 2 F-15C's woulda done in that fight.
7:21 - "Urrrraaaaaaaaaaa!..." Splash!
😆
The Mig-25 was a interceptor, not an escort fighter? I just can't recall it could perform a mission like this.
The graphics are amazing. I have always been fascinated by the TU-95 Bear.
Same, so many propellers!
It seems DCS replicates the MiG's greatest weakness: poor visibility and situational awareness. Not surprising since it was not a dogfighter.
now that I'm FINALLY getting into dcs after years of watching you, I'm realizing how dang easy you make it all look. my brain hurts learning all this new info lol
With those big Tumansky engines, you could probably get an IR lock on a MiG25 from another time zone!👍
The older rear-aspect missiles could probably get a front-aspect lock on a 25 lol
Probably could have used some AIM-4Ds and gotten them. 😂
Spiraling orbital tank launch! 😢 I'm beyond words mate
On location shooting Top Gun 3: "...then this drop tank came out of nowhere!!!"
How TF are mig 25s getting hits on F-15's but struggling against F-4's?
Simple, they entered the merge. Mistake number one for the steel ingot with wings.
@pyronuke4768 very on-brand for Russian military decision making, I must say
Imagining to myself a scenario where tanks launched that way get a splash 😅
The jump in tech between these era fighters and gen4 is probably more than the previous 2 generation combined. That said a Phantom armed with f15 radar and modern missiles and maybe an engine upgrade would be one heavy hitter!!
You are basically talking about German F4 ICE now)
Those missles on the Mig are huge.
I was thinking, when he said he had targets on the radar that he might be targeting the launched missiles. 😂
Probably scored a Starlink satellite kill with those tanks.

One splash was enemy pilot error. He dove just a bit too steeply and went in.
Are the aim-174s being added to DCS? Is supposed to have more range than the Russian hypersonic missiles.
they won't officially be in any time soon, but we'll likely see them in mods before too long.
Not only the MiG25 is the only aircraft to have shot with success at a F15, it was also on the Gulf War the only plane that managed to shoot down a Coalition aircraft (a F/A 18C), the first shootdown of this war. MiG25s with elite Iraqi pilots were also serious during the Iran-Iraq war, even taking on Iranian Tomcats, so with a good pilot, this plane is a menace.
Also there was a mig29 that shot down a tornado but the British deny it, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest it’s true.
@@GrowlingSidewinder the F15 also survived and was still airworthy
Hey GS, I was wondering if you could start providing links or downloads for the missions and skins you use. I love your videos, and you have done an amazing job bringing so many people to DCS. I’m sure that others would also appreciate being able to have a go at your missions themselves!
I've always loved the Phantom, it's such a unique-looking aircraft and gorgeous in spite of its chunky design, but seeing all these Phantom videos you've been producing has given me a respect for the lethality and effectiveness of the Lead Sled that I never really had before. Great work, keep it up!
You are correct GS. The MiG-25 is the only aircraft recorded to have hit the F-15 with a missile. I'd go as far as to say the Foxbat ended the Eagle's undefeated streak like Brock Lesnar defeated Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 30! Even if it limped home, that F-15 was effectively out of action. Thus, giving the MiG-25 a score over the F-15. A victory is a victory, regardless of whether the enemy is a smoldering wreck in a field somewhere, or missing a wing on the runway back at base.
One of the reasons the Shah got the Tomcats was because the Phantoms couldnt keepup/ intercept the Foxbats flyimg into Iranian aerospace.
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 64
Turning Foxbats into foxbait
Please fly The F-4 VS The A-4 guns only Dogfight!🙏👍
Lol* this looked easier than taking on MIG-21's!!
Ever read the book by Tom Clancy? Red Storm Riding?
There was several air battles for Iceland as well as the mythical F-19 Frisbee. Some recreations would be amazing.
It seems to me that a fighter escort should be flying ahead of the aircraft that they are escorting. Considering the forward speed of the heavies being escorted, flying ahead gives an escort more time/distance to deal with an aggressor before the heavies come into range.
An aggressor could come up from the flanks or behind, but the forward speed of the heavies still makes interception from in front a more likely direction to cover.
Damn I love your stuff.
Best overall videos on UA-cam. Epicness
There's something I find eery about the exhausts of the Phantom
Did your three mates have a party they didn't want to miss?
Bar opened
4:13 I like to think of the MiG-23, 25 and 31 as just more extreme versions of the MiG-21 - increasingly better as a defense interceptor but progressively worse in a dogfight 😂
The 600 kW radar in the MIG-25 is a monster.
Thanks!
A Mig 25 probably shot down a FA-18 on the first day (well night) of the 1991 gulf war as well...so I guess the Mig 25 was the only Iraqi aircraft to actually hit coalition aircraft.
ya the mig25 kill on the F-18 is basically accepted to be true at this point, there was also a mig29 kill on a british tornado but the british deny that one...but there is decent evidence and suggest it might be true. British said it was lost to a SAM but more than likely an R60 missile shot from an iraqi mig29
F4 has always been my favorite Cold War aircraft. Great video!
Sometimes I wish someone upgraded an F4 with F414 engines and APG79. It would still make a heck of a fast missile truck.
why doesn't the water react with the turbulence?
DCS hasn’t come that far. Wish it did that would be cool.
What this channel needs is some more videos of the F4 Phantom. It isn't represented enough.😏
Why are they not at 35k doing mach jesus when they fire? Mig 25/31s should never get that close intentionally.
GSW: The MIG 25 is actually a deadly aircraft, Almost got an F15…30sec later MIG 25 parts distribution mission complete.
Also shot down an F/A-18 for the Iraqi Air Force’s only air to air kill in Desert Storm.
Man, that F-4 cockpit looks fantastic.
MIG25 doesn't suck and then 4 F4s wipe the floor with them
Cuz its not a fighter maybe
@@pyronuke4768 Yeah I was going to say, having an interceptor play the role of an escort doesn't seem like the best of ideas to me. Not really the role it was designed for.
Ah yes, brick with wings vs brick with wings
Mig 25 was build for speed not dogfight
Love the RS tail markings.
5:14 Just another potential way to take out the enemy! 😂
I'm pretty sure those tanks went into orbit
The F4 looks like somebody stepped on it's nose, and kicked it in the tail.
Besides the smoke graffic problem there.s the eyeball mirror problem lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Day 34 of asking for Mig 21Fishbed vs P-51 mustang dogfight
My suggestions: 1. Trying to shoot down an SR-71 with a Mig-25? Trying to survive Mig-25 intercept with SR-71? What about missions with the F117 Nighthawk? Or going to max altitude and also max speed with X-15? If possible: replicate the anti-satellite intercept with anti-satellite missile fired from F15 (mission profile available on google, I believe. I believe it involves firing the ASAT-missle going vertical with the F15 from rather high altitude. Br //M
1. We dont have flyable SR-71 or MiG-25 for this sim
2. SR-71 doesnt have any weapons
3. We dont have a flyable F-117 in this sim
4. We dont have satellites in this sim or the correct F-15 version for that.
@@Mike_Romeo 1, 2, 3, 4 ok. And the SR-71 defense was it.'s speed and altitude, so I didn't expect any weapons for it to survive. Did you? Have a nice day.
Those drop tanks probably flew into the next countries borders. Awesome.
I'd like to see you fly the MiG-25 yourself to see what you can do with it, it's a really cool plane.
Excellent video, as usual. As for that F-4's tail marking; is that plane from Ramstein Air Base, Germany - or is my memory failing...?
7:10 and 7:20 the difference between "Splash one, Mig-25" and "Splash, one Mig-25."
This video felt like a ticking time bomb 💣 exploding with victory being the endgame✌️
You must've blinked at 10:00 or something and missed that explosion lol
Gawd that F4 cockpit looks gorgeous.
The Mig 25 is a high speed missile truck. It is massive and heavy and not a dogfighter.
I'd love to see how you do challenging scenarios in soviet fighters
A very strange choice for bombers escort, the Mig-25 was designed as a high-speed, high-flying long-range interceptor to intercept slow and unmaneuverable Western bombers
This would be purely a circus stunt for fun, but you should see if you can score a hit with drop tanks at the merge.
2 bears and 3 mig 25s, you’re Ace material
Nice video. But what is that clicking sound? Better check it out
Wasn't it the mig 25 that was made from normal steel and weighed the same as a small moon
it was made from stainless steel, which is a little heavier than normal carbon steel
Ace in a day! COL Robin Olds would be proud!
I love that music, fantastic.
Where was jester with the bogie call outs?
Watching this at 4:28 am
I still want to see you drop your tanks and hit the enemy plane with them at the merge!
How do other modules compare to the F4? Like quality, balance and feature-wise?
The f4 is among the best in my opinion
Ooh, different music this time for the wide shots.
>MiG-25 is super-fast interceptor that can't turn
>starts turning, loosing energy, in a missile fight
This battle was useless
Can you make a school-planve vs. school-plane video? Use all nations training planes vs another, with some cannons only?
How about Mig 25 vs F-104? Maybe Two Idiots going up in a couple rounds?
I would love a video with the F-18 and its new AIM 174
Video idea: I-16 Donkey vs Su-57 Felon
i think the russky formation would need a handful of tankers for those foxbats to stay with the bears for any reasonable duration!
The MiG-25 did get a kill in GW1 against a Hornet.
Yes accurate.
Always loved the lines of the phantom.
5:12 saturn 1 we have liftoff😂😂😂
still waiting for f-4e vs f-15c dogfight
