It is time to fulfill your destiny and give us the Battle of the Canards: A dogfight free-for-all featuring (at a minimum) the JAS39 Gripen, SU30SM Flanker-H, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Dassault Rafale. May the best 'nard win.
Hey GS, as always thank you for the AWESOME videos you put out! I have a question. Do you think, in the first round, if you was able to have rolled the aircraft over and gave the bottom of the aircraft the missle it might not have killed the pilot? Eating it was funny though im sorry!!! 😂😂
My dude, I thought we had this conversation last video, eating missiles is not the preferred way to consume vital minerals…. And I’m grown more and more convinced that these missiles lock onto confidence.
Round 4 was the epitome of OP, he is the only DF that I’ve seen someone get killed by the opponents and his own missile at the same time. Extraordinarily awesome!
Better keep a Fox-2 with your own name on it. You see, if you owns the missile with your name on it, you'd never get hit by it. And the chances of there being two missiles with your name on it are very small indeed...
Whoever did the soundeffects for the Gripen (cinematic shots) nailed it! I live 5 minutes from an air base and they fly by my house regularly and it sounds just like the real thing!
4:34 I'm so glad to have used our national flag, eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Gripen for the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) to replace the old and tired F-5s.
This was a truly close matchup with excellent fights in each round. I think the highlight was your flat spin Fox 2 kill. Instead of going _"OH SHIT FLAT SPIN GOTTA RECOVER NOW,"_ you saw you had some spare altitude & just rode the spin until you got the lock & the kill. Great stuff!
Very interesting to see how quick and deadly a modern dogfight can be. It's almost like an old pistol duel were they walk back to back and the first one to turn around and put the nose/gun on target first win.
UA-cam isn't letting me "LIKE" videos anymore so I will comment: Your content never ceases to entertain and often comes up in various conversations my friends and I have. I would love to see you do some more collabs with Longshot; maybe that airfield mission with the evil SA-13? I think a two ship mission set up could get through it.
Interesting that the Gripen did similarly against the Su-47 as it did against the Su-27, despite the Su-47 being based on the Su-27 and being designed for low speed maneuverability.
There's going to be about 400 F-35s across the European NATO nations I think. But I'm not convinced DCS is doing it justice. Real life is a different thing. Plus of course, the model is unofficial. But... let's hope we never have to find out.
360 No Scope! " The more mechanical become the weapons with which we fight, the less mechanical must be the spirit which controls them." -Field Marshal Archibald P. Wavell,
7:11 I don’t know if this saying exists outside of the British Armed Forces but “if you find yourself in a fair fight, you did not plan it properly.” Two reasons: 1. Winning quickly is best for you 2. Losing quickly is best for them It minimises casualties on both sides. The ultimate outcome being that the other side surrenders immediately when they recognise the overwhelming disadvantage. Not applicable in a 1 on 1 dog fight but the principle is the same.
As the IRST flew past the R-73M, the Flanker asked, "If I pulled a lot of AOA, who would win, you or me?" "If the Fox 2's didn't work properly or your missiles turned around to hit me again, I might have a little trouble" "But would you lose?" "Nah, I'd win. For when it comes to the connection, I alone am your prevention. Also get 360 noscoped"
I'd say that 8:26 is the DCS equivalent of a 360º no scope kill. We have seen the Archer, IRST and the 9Xs doing crazy stuff. What about an Israeli latest Python series? You should make an scenario were a IAF F-16, latest block engages a Russian or Arab Flanker with Archers!!
Constructive criticism from an old air to air guy, if you rolled faster to get in plane with him, you would get a lot more snap shots in those scissors. You are a little slow doing that, although you fly very well.
Hi there GS. I would still love to see you flying a Gripen in South African Air Force colours. The SAAF has been flying Gripens for quite a number of years now. Maybe you could do a video going up against an Angolan Su-27 Flanker.
5:35, the idea that Sweden at some point would have to defend themselves against Russia was not weird before we joined NATO. We always knew the threat came from the east and our military, especially during the cold war, reflects that.
I noticed that with these russian missiles in DCS. As long as the aircraft is slightly forward and upward from a target, there’s a big chance that the missile will hit the target.
At the beginning of the fight where you said you can’t do anything until the merge, at the 1 circle when he came across your nose, was it just not advantageous to go for guns there? Looked like you could’ve had him
Hey crazy Idea but maybe for one of these dogfight Fox 2 fights you should have a fully external view for a full round, just so we can see the crazy moves of both the planes and the missiles
Dogfights are not meant to be fair. No truer words have been spoken. I'm not seeing much control surface deflection for all the yanking & banking. Do you have a video that describes the Gripen's displays? I don't see a lot of info displayed on them. Love the action!
Another sick video man. Is it just me, or does the Gripen shoot like a World War 2 plane? Love what these insane missiles can do. Can't wait for the next video man.

Can you make a video of Tejas mk1a vs jf 17

how about Jas-39 Gripen Vs su 57 modern dog fight? i think its gonna be awesome
Please make gripen vs jf17 , same class fighters ...
My dude, I thought we had this conversation last video, eating missiles is not the preferred way to consume vital minerals…. And I’m grown more and more convinced that these missiles lock onto confidence.
ROFL
you telling me the 73 doesnt stand for the 73 minerals and vitamins included in the Missile?
@@displeased-cat Builds strong bodies better than Wonder Bread!
Round 4 was the epitome of OP, he is the only DF that I’ve seen someone get killed by the opponents and his own missile at the same time. Extraordinarily awesome!
That flatspin 360 noscope tho
Reminds me of a kill he got with the Mig-29 a few years ago.
4:52 "I gotta fox-2 with his name-" 🤣
😂❤
NGL, man... that was funny!
Better keep a Fox-2 with your own name on it. You see, if you owns the missile with your name on it, you'd never get hit by it. And the chances of there being two missiles with your name on it are very small indeed...
@@karabenomar Genius!! I'll win every engagement from now on thanks to you!
He truly has some of the best last lines
Whoever did the soundeffects for the Gripen (cinematic shots) nailed it! I live 5 minutes from an air base and they fly by my house regularly and it sounds just like the real thing!
what if its one of your neighbours
Fox 2 dogfights is like the aerial version of Russian Roullete with how these modern missiles behave
Sometimes they can get really (un)lucky when that missile surprisingly comes back for a second run.
seeing a gripen fighting a su-33 would be awesome. battle of the canards!!
33 is too Hevvy, I doubt Grippen will struggle at all.
But has a very high nose authority
basically already did that, with the su30
@@itz_me_kratos I mean, it doesn't have good Power/Weight to back it up.
Would stall or fail to manoeuvre
4:34 I'm so glad to have used our national flag, eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Gripen for the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) to replace the old and tired F-5s.
Brazil mentioned
Bro, we have AMX too
Que bom que brasileiros também assistem a este canal. Avante! 🇧🇷
I noticed u flew the Brazilian gripen on round 3 ... nice ... thx ... 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
8:30 Using the flat spin as a combat maneuvre, interesting
I guess it's a bit like sitting inside someone's circle in a two circle fight, except now your circle is almost a point
1:11 - That was BRUTAL, that missile flew right up your nose! 🤧💥
F for the pilot :'(
The Gripen Gun is so distinct. Love it
This was a truly close matchup with excellent fights in each round. I think the highlight was your flat spin Fox 2 kill. Instead of going _"OH SHIT FLAT SPIN GOTTA RECOVER NOW,"_
you saw you had some spare altitude & just rode the spin until you got the lock & the kill. Great stuff!
You show when you fail, others could learn from this. You Rock!
5:00 - That's the first time I can recall seeing a missile perform a Split S -- wow!
The Brazilians must have quite the tanker support fleet if they can fly their Gripens near Murmansk!
GS dying in a Gripen in the first round has pretty much became a tradition over here.
Very nice dogfight!! Loved the Gripen with the Brazil paint. 🇧🇷❤
Very interesting to see how quick and deadly a modern dogfight can be. It's almost like an old pistol duel were they walk back to back and the first one to turn around and put the nose/gun on target first win.
The Flanker is such a Gorgeous Aircraft. Thank You for giving the plane the love it deserves. I hope your Channel grows even further
Falling from the sky, behind the back, nothing but net.
Outstanding, loved the flat-spin kill AND the commentary! And the double-missile kaboom!
Liking the brazilian colors on that gripen!!!
I'm reminded of the words of Tuco Ramirez: "When you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk." The play-by-play can wait when a Flanker's on yer butt.
UA-cam isn't letting me "LIKE" videos anymore so I will comment:

There were different missiles
@serheyyavotsky1246 were they? makes much more sense then
Seeing this fight, looks like missiles with Artifical Intelligence are the future..... love the sudden deaths in the middle of your sentences... :)
Darn Flankers look like they can spin like a top in the air.
This is one of the coolest, closest matchups you've done yet. Amazing video, man.
3:07 was an awesome moment. Straight out of a movie lol
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 15
Give the f-35 hobs, or else the F-18 will mog it in the dogfight
Flanker Pilot: Wtf the Gripen can do controlled flat spin kills now?! 😳
That third round missle was like, "I'm coming back for you, buddy!"
This was the strangest set of fights on your channel. I loved it.
7:42 You wanted a tight turn? Aye, ye got that
6:44 wow you actually intercepted his missile like 6 feet off the rail lol. That's gonna hurt.
I have to master that flat spin peekaboo shot. Insane
And soon will see those 2 guys fighting in their natural environment : the kola map!
Great episode, GS.
I was willing that last heater to loop back and get him ;)
Im already looking forward to F35 against what ever!
But GS in the F35!!!!
There is sadly no good enough F-35 for him to fly.
There's going to be about 400 F-35s across the European NATO nations I think. But I'm not convinced DCS is doing it justice. Real life is a different thing. Plus of course, the model is unofficial.
But... let's hope we never have to find out.
No cockpit, not happening
i love how your voice just cuts when you talk and a missile hit you
360 No Scope! " The more mechanical become the weapons with which we fight, the less mechanical must be the spirit which controls them." -Field Marshal Archibald P. Wavell,
That first missile was like a doctor, taking your temperature from the ear.
Just found ur channel, Your intro is amazing bro.
IMO it's one of the best GS's videos ever. So much suspense, if a missile do a loop this time?!
7:11 I don’t know if this saying exists outside of the British Armed Forces but “if you find yourself in a fair fight, you did not plan it properly.”
Two reasons:
1. Winning quickly is best for you
2. Losing quickly is best for them
It minimises casualties on both sides. The ultimate outcome being that the other side surrenders immediately when they recognise the overwhelming disadvantage.
Not applicable in a 1 on 1 dog fight but the principle is the same.
Would love to see some more Su-57 dogfights, Maybe Felon vs. Grey ghost?
@4:59 I think this one was one of those Hollywood missiles from movies, where the missiles pull U turns and chance for 12 minutes.
As the IRST flew past the R-73M, the Flanker asked, "If I pulled a lot of AOA, who would win, you or me?"
"If the Fox 2's didn't work properly or your missiles turned around to hit me again, I might have a little trouble"
"But would you lose?"
"Nah, I'd win. For when it comes to the connection, I alone am your prevention. Also get 360 noscoped"
That was an excellent fight. Very interesting with the missiles
I'd say that 8:26 is the DCS equivalent of a 360º no scope kill.
We have seen the Archer, IRST and the 9Xs doing crazy stuff. What about an Israeli latest Python series? You should make an scenario were a IAF F-16, latest block engages a Russian or Arab Flanker with Archers!!
Su-47 vs Gripen 3-3
Su-27 vs Gripen 3-3
Su-30sm vs Gripen 3-3
F-22 vs YF-23 3-3
What the hell is going on here?
That flatspin blind shot was nastyyyy!!!
"Gonna go for the flat spin kill", as one does
"Hold this for me my dude" never gets old.😂
35 years of Gripen in 2023 and 45 years of Su-27 "Flanker" in 2022
1:12 what is that instant 90 Degree turn??
its built to be manueverable. on its peak speeds thats quite normal. still verry impressive plane and manuever.
There's a video of a 9X being launched off an F-35 doing smth similar, the missiles are actually just that wild
it looked like you might have had a couple of close gun solutions there?
4:59 - WTF was that missile. Missed and looped back twice to get you!
That first round really put the miss in missile! Great contest.
Constructive criticism from an old air to air guy, if you rolled faster to get in plane with him, you would get a lot more snap shots in those scissors. You are a little slow doing that, although you fly very well.
It wouldn't be a GS video if he didn't eat the first missile to the face 😂.
loooool, very on brand.
Hi there GS. I would still love to see you flying a Gripen in South African Air Force colours. The SAAF has been flying Gripens for quite a number of years now. Maybe you could do a video going up against an Angolan Su-27 Flanker.
Have you ever thought of doing a tier list for all the planes you have played? I'm really curious how you would rank stuff.
5:35, the idea that Sweden at some point would have to defend themselves against Russia was not weird before we joined NATO. We always knew the threat came from the east and our military, especially during the cold war, reflects that.
Pretty sure that's my first flat-spin missile kill, very cool! Nice new map.
Crazy how tight those missiles can maneuver
Gotta love the Fox-2 fights. Lots of rounds, very little time.
Archers are so inconsistent. Some days they're like rabid dogs, other days they're about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Rnd 5 was crazy. I feel like it was the intro to a rick and morty. "I was not in control of that at all. Look at my hands morty"
I noticed that with these russian missiles in DCS. As long as the aircraft is slightly forward and upward from a target, there’s a big chance that the missile will hit the target.
Hey, nice to see Brazilian Gripens winning some rounds. Cheers!
Love to see that brazilian Gripen.
At the beginning of the fight where you said you can’t do anything until the merge, at the 1 circle when he came across your nose, was it just not advantageous to go for guns there? Looked like you could’ve had him
Love the gripen
The first and the last missiles were, once again, using facial recognition for guidance
Hey crazy Idea but maybe for one of these dogfight Fox 2 fights you should have a fully external view for a full round, just so we can see the crazy moves of both the planes and the missiles
This was a brutal fight the gloves definitely came off
how these things manage to turn and hit at such close ranges is crazy
A flat spin kill was a prettier impressive maneuver.
Of course it’s not a recommended tactic in case you have another Su27 out there.
The expression "You have an R73 in the eye" is gonna be trending topic....
Just completely brushes off the fact that that first missile hit him directly in the face
Ever tried a 3-way battle, all against all? Maybe hard to do with a dogfight, but certainly BVR.
Dogfights are not meant to be fair. No truer words have been spoken. I'm not seeing much control surface deflection for all the yanking & banking. Do you have a video that describes the Gripen's displays? I don't see a lot of info displayed on them. Love the action!
The displays are not accurate to the real aircraft or not done yet.
Kola Peninsula? I remember rescuing a tricked out F-750 as per a job from there...
That flatspin no-look missile was epic
Man, I really love the Gripen, I hope the airforce of Mexico buys some to replace the F-5 we have rn
Yooo that flatspin kill was amazing!!
Another sick video man.
Is it just me, or does the Gripen shoot like a World War 2 plane? Love what these insane missiles can do. Can't wait for the next video man.
flat spin kill is the 360 dunk of DCS
Can you try flying the YF-12?
MIG 25 vs YF-12???
Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”
I would love to see you fly the Griffin at some BVR fights
Bro that first fox-2 went straight for the face💀
Both fox 2s turned that flanker into a plane Puzzle
Looks like 2 kids throwing boomerangs at each other.
That first fox 2 was applied directly to the face :(
1:11 DAMN!
Gripen vs jf17 same class frighters dogfight , it will be delight to watch it
That flat spin shot is equal to a 360 no scope if the bullet had a seeker. NS
alot of Gripen content and i like it
