    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.

      The real F-35's infrared 360° camera array and VR display helmet means that it literally is doing just that. The F-35 pilot can see through the bottom of their own aircraft and from far greater distances and with greater accuracy than any previous aircraft. Its AESA radar can lock on dozens of targets simultaneously while also providing EW support and providing high-bandwidth datalinks to other F-35s in the area, up to and including including weapons-grade locks. It's not as manoeuvrable as the F-22 or Flanker, but it's at least as good as an F-16 or F-18, especially since it can carry its weapons internally which greatly reduces drag. In Red Flag exercises and similar, its sensors and networking allow it to routinely rack up 20-1 kill ratios against fourth-gen fighters.

    Great vid as usual GS! The thing that gets me is how dangerous the F35 would theoretically be in groups. You had the advantage in this fight of using the F35's radar to mitigate some of the stealth advantage. If I understand correctly, the networking of the F35 would allow one F35 or other integrated system (like the upgraded AWACS) to provide radar and missile guidance for the whole group, allowing the rest to fight without utilizing their own radar- adding to their stealth. To paraphrase Alan Grant in Jurassic Park: "That's when the attack comes. Not from the front. but from the sides. From the other two Lightnings, you didn't even know were there."

      @haedubabaganush Рік тому +7

      I tend to agree... the electro-optical IR system of the flanker is probably modeled too generously and I doubt it could discern a stealth aircraft like the 35 or 22 at the distance in the video. Also, there are other modes that the meteor, and Aim-260 have that are not modeled in the sim. For example I can think of several ways the missile could know where the target is without the use of the 35's radar updates letting it know...ie no rwr warning on the 27's gear... and once active, and locked onto the target, I doubt it is so easily spoofed....but no one is going to release data about other modes, effectiveness, and anti spoofing capability.

      @dscott6629 Рік тому +1

      Well the Russians say there's no such thing as true stealth. That, if it's in the air, they can see it. The real question is - from how far away? Certainly the SU-57 was drawn up with this as it's primary design principle. This might not be hyperbole as a Russian SAM did shoot down a F-117 Nighthawk in Serbia way back in 1999. I've heard rumors they've developed systems which can track the air disturbances a plane makes and thus target the intruder even if they can't identify the plane itself (there's been similar talk about much the same being researched to track deep running submarines). If true, and we know the Russians are very good at developing weapons technology, then the counter to stealth may already be developed and is awaiting deployment at the critical moment.

    • @user-wp8ip9sk7m
      @user-wp8ip9sk7m Рік тому

      Do you even know what exactly the Russians came up with stealth? As a novice radio engineer, I must say that stealth is not invisibility, it's like a smooth surface that reflects light, but instead of light, radio waves, but the difference is that radio waves with a shift to longer wavelengths will simply be absorbed by the aircraft, and from aircraft with emitters of this wavelength just don't hide
