    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.

    Man, no one ever really thinks about the cost of war. Like, those B-52s can carry something like 80klbs worth of ordinance at an average of about $10k per 1000lb bomb and it looked like there was about 15 of them so roughly about $12mil for that bombing run alone (not including the costs of each plane). Then on the bombee's side, that was a significantly sized base with something like 25-30 Mig 21's and what looked like maybe a handful of Mig-29s (we'll say 10). Mig-21's are surprisingly cheap, I think they're around $500k each so that's $15 mil roughly for those and then Mig-29s are roughly $20mil each so that's $200,000,000, and that's not including the costs of rebuilding that airfield.
    Almost a quarter of a billion dollars all lost at ONE airbase.
