Air War in Ukraine - Black Weekend for Russian Air Force (DCS World)
In three days, losses of Russian aircraft seem to have increased. Concrete evidence was presented by the Ukrainian side for at least four fixed wing aircraft and three helicopters. Does this mean that Russians are increasing the tempo of their operations? Or are they just applying inadequate tactics, using their most advanced fighter-bombers such as Su-34 as bomb trucks.
But, Russians are still launching a large number of cruise and ballistic missiles. And they also claim a large number of Ukrainian aircraft shot down by their forces.
In this video, you will be able to see how some of these shootdowns might have looked like.

#DCSWorldHistoricalReenactment #MilitaryAviationHistory
The aircraft shot down over Kharkiv turned out to be a Su-34. Photos of a wreckage with registration number RF-95070 appeared and one crewmember was captured. He said he belonged to 47th Aviation Regiment form Voronezh. The weapon used for the shootdown is believed to be SA-11 Buk. Which is exactly what was used for this reenactment.
@@andrekarim320 Another dellusional Russian bot.
@@andrekarim320 Yawn. This doesn’t work outside the URSR anymore. You lot (putintards) had your fun, Trump and Brexit, but now something real is happening and your emperor has no clothes.
@@julianmorrisco then why US & NATO completely banned Russians media from reporting their side of news then when the west uphold freedom of speech? Also why can't US & NATO fight the war like man resorting to not just imposing sanction on Russia but trying to inflict poverty to Russian civilians, causing massive resources shortage driving up prices of consumables in all countries worldwide? So that US get to monopolize business while left wing Antifa Democrats leaders that currently taken over US & most of Europe countries get to earn from their corruption?
Artur Rahi showed a recent live photo of that Su-34 that had crashed throught the roof of a building when it was shot down. It would seem that still photos are more believable than possibly faked videos? The first casualty of war is truth, unfortunately. Thanks for the interesting recreations.
@@tonyv8925 video that is realistic won't edit but would show the wreckage in full details walkaround. Look at US recorded footage of enemy vehicles destroyed, how middle east conflict showed destroyed tanks, aircraft, dead soldiers, etc. Only in Ukraine Zelensky forces edited videos heavily or shown glimpse of dead tanks with soldiers firing at target that is not alive claiming they just killed it
Great job! This is the way to use DCS- as a realistic illustration aid... not like the folks trying to pass this off as real combat footage
Thank you! I don't think there were many of those. In fact, there's a very narrow window where DCS footage can look real enough to fool most people. Essentially, you need to avoid any ground in the shot, because aircraft might be looking great but the ground is far from photo-realistic 😁
The video of that Mi 24 being shot down is the cleanest one ive seen of a helicopter being shot down. Again amazing work recreating the videos from the war!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Everyone is talking about how bad russian precision weapons are, but the cruise missile strikes on the first day of the invasion were quite impressive. Thanks again, for the unbiased recreation of the events. The only thing that looked bad was the famous video of the mi24 being shot down. The actual shot was from the right side of the helicopter and not infront of the helicopter, but I understand the limitations of the map and the simulator.
DCS lacks proper textures, among other things. You either have snowy winter, or green spring. Lots of videos from Ukraine show brown soil and bare trees but no snow.
Cruise missiles are pretty large they don't seem to have anything accurate that's small
Looks like the missile's accuracy is pretty bad, too
What are you guys talking about, the Russian Air Force is the best in the world, it’s not for nothing that the Americans are more afraid of them than death. You guys should watch less CNN and BBC, they make you degenerates unable to think objectively for yourself.😂
The Russian missiles are increasingly proofing their inability to hit a target accurately. It is worse the us missile strikes in the 90s.
Really enjoying the historical reenactments, keep up the good work
I sure will, thank you for your support!
and to think we may have F-16 and Gripen recreations one day... adding the crowd reactions was a nice touch.
It seems like that might take a while. But I'm sure there was some interesting action flown by Su-27s, MiG-29s and Su-25s. Even that will probably be a while until we have detailed information.
Evidence of some Ukrainian losses is condolences given to families of dead pilots. Dead pilots mean shot down aircraft. There is some evidence of air to air kills on Russian side. We may know more once fog of war clears. Or maybe not... time will tell.
I am so enjoying this series your doing! thank you
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like the videos!
As soon as the war started I knew showtime was gonna come in clutch with recreations, amazing work once again showtime👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤟🏼
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Great and excellent video presentation as always. Thanl you for all you Showtime 112!🎩♠🎯🏵😉😎
Thank you for being a loyal viewer!
As always, very well done video.
Thank you for your support!
These videos are so amazing. Particularly the correct speed of sound timing of the explosions vs the distance from the detonation. The viewpoint of the pilots ejecting from the SU-25 and SU-30 were remarkable. Really well done.
Thank you for the positive feedback!
As always, well done.
Thank you for your support!
Amazing video, hopefully we can get more detailed information later on. One question though, do you plan on making a discord server or any other sort of Showtime112 community hub?
Thanks! As for discord, quite a few people have asked that. It is kinda in a long term plan. Basically, I don't quite know what to do with it or how to manage it :)
Cool choice for the subject of this episode.. Hello once again, brother, hope all is well with you. Take care man. ☀️😎🇺🇸☀️
Hello, I'm glad you like the subject.
Something I’ve noticed about the Ruusky air war; They aren’t using multi capable air mission ‘packages’, as we Americans do, such as Wild Weasels in 1st to defeat AA radar, plenty of high & low escorts of bombers, etc. It’s just one, or a couple, aircraft going in. 1 aircraft, no forward jamming/ destruction of any kind of AA, & they just get a loss of pilot(s), mission critical fail. They can’t keep THAT up for very long. Their ground forces war machine is doing much, much worst, too. NATO is pouring in ~17,000 AA Personal Missiles, no idea how many anti-ANYTHING on the ground, but in both cases, they’re utterly swamping the Ruusky forces. It could be down to Ruusky artillery in a few weeks? And if the Ukes can go on the rapid offense, the Ruuskies will end up losing any artillery they’ve got in-country. ☠️🇺🇦🤞
Russian Air Force is quite different from USAF. They are much less independent and seen more as a support service for their ground forces. Therefore, they lack many of the capabilities that top Western powers have. They could probably not win a war on airpower alone, or mostly on airpower. Some might say they've done so in Syria, but there were more factors in play there (such as Iran's involvement). But even if Russians take all the major cities, there will be resistance and it could easily become another Afghanistan.
@@showtime112 Yup. The Russians are very strange in their use of their air power as opposed to NATO nations or the US. In fact, if you read the US Army Manual called “Opposing Force Tactics” they go into great detail as to how the Russians actually primarily use helicopters for CAS instead of fixed wing assets. Which is much different than we would do in the US. The keep their helicopters 15-20 minutes flight time away from the front lines. And must be ready for takeoff within 5 minutes. They place much more emphasis on helicopters. Explains a lot of what Wev seen in Ukraine
Wonderful work 👏, thanks 😊
Thank you for the feedback!
Have the Tupolev Tu-22 and Tu-95 being used in this war?
Tu-95s supposedly launched some of the cruise missiles on Vinnytsa airport.
Great presentation, as usual! 👍🏻👏🏻🙋🏼♂️🍻 Everyone stay safe!..
Great comment too, as usual 😁
Can I imagine two weeks ago, my native city Chernihiv will be mentioned in the show and being under attack. This is crazy
I hope your country stops being in the news as soon as possible. Hang in there!
Slava Ukraina! Keep giving them hell.
The Syrian operation was small time compared to Ukraine, I seriously believe that Russia as the capability to operate on a large scale, in fact I believe that the Jerry, French, UK and Poland themselves could defeat Russian in just a conventional war, no nukes.
Does not have*, right?
@@preserveourpbfs7128 You're correct, damn TV in the background here
One might draw such a conclusion.
It gives an entirely different feeling watching your videos when they are so current....
It does to some extent. There are pros and cons of covering an actual conflict and I struggled with it for a while.
Great job. Strange to see the Su-34 used at low level and ineffective. Have Su-24 Fencers been used? Ukrainians shot down 2 IL-76 loaded with either paratroopers or BMD. One Ukrainian pilot did not survive the engagement, the other did RTB. Shocking the transports were not escorted. Or maybe the Ukrainian pilots used terrain masking to make surprise attacks. Obviously, more details will emerge after the war. Antonov Airport being close to Kyiv and in range of Belarus, was obviously strategic. I'm interested in how it was defended. The Ukrainians deployed manpads. What about mobile SAMs? Larger fixed SAM? Shilkas? ADA? How many Ukrainian infantry defended the airfield, a company? A Ka-52 was shot down over Hostomel on day 1. He expended at least 4 Vikhr laser missiles. What he targeted I don't know. Russia's Mi-8s looked slow and vulnerable, I'm surprised more were not shot down.
Thanks for the comment! Those are some good questions. But very likely, we won't know detailed answers for a while. Putting together a picture from the current sources is a bit like doing a puzzle where you only have some pieces. But I'm sure that serious researchers will start working soon. Let's just hope the war ends as quickly as possible.
Do you check the wather of the date of recreation?
Mostly I try to get close to what is visible on video footage or photos. There are limits in DCS though. There's no textures for snowless winter (brown ground and bare trees). There seems to be snow in some parts of Ukraine and no snow in others at the same time.
TOP VIDEO !👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your support!
@@showtime112 Grand Mercy for subscrib 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow!
😁
Info in-depth as always one could believe you were there as a war reporter...👍 It astounded me how a single soldier can take down those Russian aggressor jets and choppers Damn it, you nailed it again, I loved the applause and screams of joy after shooting down the Su 34... and 12:17 that was hilarious🤗 And yes DCS maps aren't the best there's a lot of room for improvement...🤔
More positive feedback, which I appreciate! Good new profile image too :) I like to include real world sounds and in those cases, they are from those particular incidents.
@@showtime112 Most welcome 😉It was really a great idea to use those sounds, and so authentic too, 👍it somehow underlines it. And thanks for the flowers about the new profile image, yes that's my way to show support 🙏for the Ukraine against the Russian aggressor government...🙏
@@LockOnNow Where is your Afghan or Iraq flag Where is Argentinian flag, Vietnam flag or Lybian flag?
Russian former fighter-bomber pilot gave answer why Russia use so many non-guided bombs(sorry for using Google Translator) "Let me explain why our beautiful planes fly with cast iron(it names of non-guided bombs). The accuracy of modern sighting systems of our aircraft allows us to bomb with a conventional bomb with an accuracy quite comparable to the accuracy of guided weapons. At the same time, of course, the explosion power and the damage area of 4-10 FAB-500 is unattainable by any guided bomb on the planet. Plus, if the target is large in size, or as the military says - areal, then you will not get enough guided missiles on it. The same factory or warehouses, for example. At the same time, the holy JDAM, which we call KAB-500S, as well as, in principle, any guided weapon with known guidance systems can be interfered with, and it is impossible to interfere with cast iron. Well, the same JDAM and X-25 also need to be dragged into the enemy's air defense zone, as well as cast iron. And all guided weapons on the ground, which can be operated from afar, are called cruise missiles and gliding bombs, it costs a little less than an airplane and it's pointless and useless and very expensive to fuck up some tank column with them. Well, of course, if it's not nuclear. In order to eliminate collateral damage, yes. Can try. You can try to fuck into the battery of the MLRS "Grad" with a tiny KAB-25, and the detonation of the package of this MLRS will blow the block around. So everything is right there with our suspension. But, of course, the best option is when ammunition is selected individually and creatively for each target." P.s. i can give link of his channel in Telegram, but only if author of channel let me. It has a lot of interesting information, but only on Russian
Not everything he is saying is inaccurate. CCIP bombing with modern computer calculations is very accurate when using "cast iron" bombs, and indeed, landing 4 to 10 1000lbs bombs on a target is quite destructive. CCIP is more accurate than CCRP but.... you have to release at a lower altitude and this puts you in much higher risk. Where I would disagree with him is that you could be extremely accurate with laser guided munitions, but we know that the soviets(russians) have issue with their guidance pods and don't seem to use JTAC's with designators. Also, one of my favourite video's is from the Iraq war where a JDAM takes out a soviet(russian) supplied GPS jammer. It is actually very difficult to jam GPS signals unless you deploy satellite interference to all the satellites in the network that are visible to the JDAM.... also, once the JDAM has the spot of impact downloaded to it before launch, it may not need to get updates after launch...as it would know the target co-ordinate and the launch co-ordinate so would know where it was and where it has to go without continued updates.
Sure, give us a link. we can auto translate or just try to understand Russian (for Slavic countries).
@@tomk3732 I can't send a link(every link what I wrote was deleted), but the name of channel is Fighterbomber
Russia has equivalent precision guided laser guided & GPS guided missiles & bombs but mostly limited to newer 4.5th generation and newer fighter bombers. Unfortunately, Russia have only numbers of them in smaller hundreds of less that have proper air to ground search and destroy avionics & electronics comparable to US F-16V, F/A-18E & F-15EX. The Su-25, Su-24 that often shot down relied on unguided rockets & bombs mostly having to engage ground targets below 2nm at low altitude vulnerable to SAM & AAA. Without FLIR targeting pod like LANTIRN/SNIPER and satellite tactical view GPS display, datalink for spotting & designating ground targets further away to launch air to ground guided missiles/bombs.
I don't think that any system for dropping unguided bombs can compare to guided ones. Especially not from any safe altitude.
Ive seen all real videos. Your videos are perfect. Congrats!
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Like it nice job
Thanks for commenting!
Just send more Stingers 👌😉 ...or Pioruns
Those seem to be quite busy. Thanks for the comment!
We are not even talking about the Thermobaric bombs that are a huge war crime. And employing Flame Throwers.
Thank you for trying to convey the most reliable information! This is very important for history! Thank you for having an anti-Russian position, yet you do not spread Ukrainian propaganda about hundreds of downed Russian planes! Of course, some terms could be argued, but since this is an author's channel, the author has every right to his point of view...
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
I see what you're doing here, you're trying to get CNN to report this footage as real news! XD
One of the problems would be that I can't produce videos fast enough for something like that :)
FWIW, a senior US defense official just said 80% of Ukrainian Air Force is intact, and they are flying 5-10 hours per day
Nah
It doesn't seem likely, I'm afraid.
Nothing coming out of the Brandon administration is reliable
Actual copium
Very good fighting
Thanks for commenting!
hello from bashtanka)
Hello!
Why didn't the Flankers tail slide there way out of danger?
While a nice air show stunt.. not really practical to dodge sam's. You lose energy quickly and allow the much faster sam to increase hit probability. Also, you have to see the missile and from the video's I've seen, and in Showtime's great re-creations, with one possible exception, I doubt the sam's were spotted visually.
Tail slide?!?!you definetely played too much ace combat
Thanks for answering. People generally seem to emphasize maneuvering way too much. There's always some comments such as 'why didn't he perform some evasive maneuver?'. Air warfare is so, so much more.
@@slate4687 😂😂😂 Razgriz Squadron 😂😂😂
Be intresting when the Uks get the Starstreak Missile....which can engage head on and cannnot be flare decoyed...
If they are put into action, there will be some kills scored with it. I'll keep looking for info.
Very Good video, it's truly unfortunate but with the Stigers and Javelin airspace won't be dominated by the Russians. Fly at low altitude is truly asking for the ultimate sacrifice. Seen ADA deployment against aircraft, it's not pretty. 🇺🇲
Thanks for commenting! So far, Russians don't seem to have an answer for such systems. I'm really curious to see if they will resort to medium altitude operations only, like they did in Afghanistan and Syria.
@@showtime112 ain't that the truth, their helo's took a beating in those mountains. Great point
OK. Would you please make a story about the Ghost of Kiev😊
Well, if any detailed info about Ukrainian pilots who participated in aerial combat becomes available, I'll cover that.
We are here to get much more accurate info about the ongoing conflict. Classic documentary bro...
I appreciate your comment!
How is it possible that million ruble plane could be shot down by simple hot seaking missle? The don't have no kind of sensor to designate incoming missliles?
@Samurai 7 and we are Talking about su-34 One of the Lost advanced. I Hope they Will not use su-57 It could be a real heavy loss of someone of them Will Be shoted down
@Samurai 7 how many are in Russia air force?
russian jets flying at extrmely low altitudes, heat seeking missiles are really effective at low altitudes. And stingers locked on to their heat signature which was their engine, that means flares arent really effective. Also, sensors make no sense if russian air force wants to waste its jets in ukraine like this, no sensor can help the pilots in that situation. Missiles can hit the plane in 3-4 seconds. Solution: dont fly at low altitudes 😂 but russian planes have to fly at low altitudes because they dont have enough guided bombs for ground targets, they are using unguided bombs.
That is basically it, I guess. You can have a missile warning but unlike being attacked by a medium-range missile, there's just a few seconds to react. Often not enough.
@Samurai 7 source? the wiki is saying they only have 4 serials so 4 in active service.
More acurate than Sky News, CNN, France 24 (OK those are Blunt Propaganda). The nighmare IS still to Come, I remember the panic about the Stingers supplied to the Afghans, some of them found their way in terror group hands. I live close to the Orly Airport... Soon, there will be another Ali the Ouzbek aiming to the Air France flights with One Stinger gladly provided by some NATO high brass.
Those things are impossible to control once you ship them away. And a certain level of risk must be considered when doing such things. Thanks for the comment!
Imagine if ATGM would be in the wrong hands.
@@antimimoniakos ...You have Seen Lord of War... We talking not One but hundreds of those beauties. Who's checking the batch number of all the smart amonitions wasted in combat or smuggled. Imagine Ukrainian mafia tells Germany the Russians blown up 2 trucks full of Stingers. The next day they have smuggled 40 beauties in Roumania, Constanza Harbor... from here, you Can ship them anywhere. The Roumainian border IS a swiss chease. And Ukraina and Roumania home of a lot of White collar mafia. 25 years ago, One of my girl Friends was a Juge in Constanza. ,,Souvenirs'' 💞
So has dcs sent update patches for Soviet aircraft to downgrade their capabilities
No
Not bad animation.
DCS has made huge progress in the last 4-5 years. If you find some older videos, it's quite obvious.
Are the missile launchers really that effective against Aircrafts? is that is so thats amazing
It seems like there are a lot of missies too. Ukraine received plenty of them from the West and they are not saving them. But it wasn't much different n Afghanistan during the 80s. Plenty missed too. But Russians began to fly much higher and their precision dropped. I wonder if they switch to that here as well.
shooting a manpad and killing a jet or helicopter has to be a bad ass feeling. What a cool story to tell later in life. So I once shot a $30mil jet out of the sky...lol
We can only imagine it.
Make a video of Ukraine losses
Da li možda ima* pretpostavku zašto rusi slabo koriste bespilotne letilice?
Možda ih zapravo i koriste u značajnoj mjeri ali ne spominju iz nekog razloga. A moguće je da dosad nisu isplanirali upotrebu.
Most Unbiased video I have ever seen about the situation ! Thanks again for the Video 😁❤️
Well, thanks for the comment!
lol, no flares and maneuvers from rocket, why?
Not sure which specific incident you are talking about but generally, IR missiles are hard to spot and they are fired from short range. They don't transmit anything so you really need to see them RIGHT AWAY. Even then, it's a matter of seconds. And helicopters such as Mi-8 are not that maneuverable anyway.
dcs game is best game
State of the art, no real competition in this specific field.
Hello -I' m very interested into this conflict .I would like to know ,if someone sees my comment / if had been someone who had documeted all of Russia s ' losses and Ukraine' -the numbers of all aircrewmen killed or missing / captured + all the planes and helycopters destroied or captured -this includes the model of the plane -for example 4 Migs 23 etc - .This is what I d like to know.Thanks
The website is called oryx aircraft losses in Ukraine
Hmmm, sve mi je to izscenirano oko gubitaka sa jedne i druge strane. Ovi pričaju ovi negiraju.. Koja se tu igra igra ko zna..
Ništa neobično, deja vu. Indija i Pakistan se i nakon 50 godina ne slažu oko barem pola toga što se događalo. Ni Izraelsko-arapski ratovi nisu baš potpuno čisti, jedino što je na Zapadu prihvaćena pretežno Izraelska verzija.
@@showtime112 pa prihvaćene su verzije američkih saveznika Bogu hvala hahaha,a što je realnost drugačija nikom ništa
"In a different incident, two MiG-25s approached a pair of F-15s, fired missiles at long range which were evaded by the F-15s, and then outran the American fighters. Two more F-15s joined the pursuit, and a total of 10 air-to-air missiles were fired at the MiG-25s, though none reached them.[64]" you should make a video about this incident :DD it would be fun
or this one: "In another incident, an Iraqi MiG-25PD, after eluding eight USAF F-15s at long range, fired three missiles at General Dynamics EF-111A Raven electronic warfare aircraft, forcing them to abort their mission and leave attacking aircraft without electronic jamming support.[N 1][63]"
Irak 1991?
MiG-25 in DCS is AI controlled only, so there are limitations with what you can do with it. Maybe I can work around it somehow but still, it's a challenge.
@@GannicusMisteriosdeHonduras yes
Seeing the horrors inflicted by indiscriminate bombing of Kharkiv, I'm really glad these Russian aircraft were shot down. Thank you for recreating these shoot downs!
Thank you for commenting!
Can you make a simulation if the Croatian air force mig21 could scramble and shoot down Tu 144 drone in 7 minutes with R-60 missiles or cannon? Drone flying from Hungary towards Zagreb (course roughly 190) At 1300 meters at about 700 km/h. Mig21 pair scramble from Zagreb Airport. I think it would be interesting. Thank you. Link to the news: www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/11/ukraine-military-drone-crashes-into-croatian-capital-zagreb
That would be very hypothetical And we also don't have the proper drone model in DCS. So, probably not.
Muy buenas tus recreaciones. Respecto al armamento ruso, también es muy probable que el clima en la región impida el uso de armamento guiado electro-óptico (láser, TV, IR), las nubes bajas obligan a los cazabombarderos rusos a volar a muy baja altitud y con "armas tontas".
Thanks for the comment! People generally don't mention the weather as one of the reasons Russians use dumb weapons mostly. It could be a factor too.
odličan thumb... jasno se sve vidi :)
Zasad izgleda da funkcionira :)
The only confirmed shot down of Ukrainian fighter is the retired acrobatics pilot who joined ukrainian air force again. Unfortunately he didn't survived.
Not exactly. President Zelenskiy decorated two more pilots posthumously. They are described to have died in air combat. Dimitry Kolomiets, and Stepan Choban.
@@showtime112 Yes, I mentioned it as well.
¿¿¿Dónde estará el "Fantasma de Kiev"???
Well, he almost certainly never existed.

Thank you for the comment!
There are lots of operational flaws in Russian offensive. Why do Russians head-on attack cities with BMPs, MT-LBs, T-72s without any kind of support - why do they fly in low altitude, they know there are manpads still in Ukranian forces - why do they create unprotected convoys, Ukranian planes can't fly, but there are still Bayraktar drones and they are deadly. Lots of questions to ask.
LOL, the do not. They moved first to grab as much land as possible in biggest advancement in human history. No one did anything even close. Once they did the deep strike - their doctrine, things did calmed down. Up north they had issues as they troop quality was low & they apparently got orders so late they were as surprised as Ukrainian side. Once they did big grab they use artillery to destroy defenses and move in with infantry supported by armor. Convoys are frequently protected by helicopters same as in US. But these cannot protect against enemy's artillery. There are almost no drones left on Ukrainian side - besides once Russians got their air defenses up they moped drones off - see that 40 mile convoy? No drone touched it. Planes fly low for 3 reasons, a) Ukraine inherited lots of weapons from Soviet Union and not all these AA systems were suppressed or destroyed yet. b) Russians are cheap bastards and use dumb bombs. c) Su-25 are support aircraft, they are meant to fly low same as A-10s, only few Su-25s were upgraded to fly above 6000m.
@@tomk3732 Fair points. I know there is a huge propaganda in the West against Russia. And I agree, even NATO couldn't capture land this fast in 2003 in Iraq, so Russians outpace NATO by substantial margin. SU-25s, they are close support aircraft, they have to fly low. But what about those Mi-24 and Su-35? They just gave kills to Ukranians.
@@tomk3732 Also, it is obvious that the Russians are trying to pinpoint targets, reduce civilian casulties. And they do not use their high quality troops, nor the full potential of their doctrine. They'd already captured the whole country in the first week had they softened it with airstrikes, missiles, air superiority like America did back in Iraq.
@@aeweweard Mi-24 is a helicopter. I doubt Su-35 was lost.
It seems infantry have not killed aircraft and tanks with such intensity, since Egyptian infantry took out Israeli aircraft and tanks in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
That's probably right.
Do you have any losses of the Ukraine Airforce or have they suffered no losses.
At least three pilots were admitted to have been shot down. Oxanchenko, Kolomiets and Choban. There was also that An-26 that crashed but I couldn't find the cause. There were more but we don't have details.
@ooga booga Hello! I'm not really sure about this stick, I have no experience with it.
Please make such a video from the Ukrainian Armed Forces🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Not many details about that. I am aware that Ukrainians are trying to downplay their losses and that Russians probably can't provide hard evidence because those they manage to shoot down mostly fall on Ukraine controlled territory. Here, we had some info, photos, videos, serial numbers etc. When it comes to Ukrainian losses, there's almost nothing to build on.
I barely notice how good DCS looks when I’m flying anymore, which is a shame. It’s gone from a ‘meh/ok/workmanlike’ looking environment early last year to possibly the best sim. And even if you include MSFS, which does look great from the air and in spots that have been manually tweaked, DCS looks just as good these days, and more consistently. There’s more things to do than fly in DCS as well, including the CA ground stuff. I’m appreciating your work documenting the war, although I do understand that there’s some guesswork, as there must be considering the FoW. But despite the horror and arsehole nature of the Russian regime, I have hope that we can pull something positive out of this whole mess… as long as Russian Hitler doesn’t kill us all. And yes, Godwin’s Law is dead. Putin’s parallels with the Austrian turd are striking. The probably both had/have choads. There’s something missing there, anyway.
Thanks for the feedback. It is indeed striking how the history seems to repeat itself. And how some are still blind. Let's hope history doesn't go all the way in repeating itself this time. DCS has done a lot of improvement in the last years. Still, there's a lot of work left to do.
now show the 20 Ukrainian aircraft that were downed
98 самолетов и 118 беспилотников различных типов
Cry
the russian air force good strimes against ukrainian forces. the russian hit hard but need sorties to defeated the kiev forces. the russian warplanes are modern but need more training to drop their ordenance.
almost 3 weeks in and they still don't have air superiority. I do believe the lack of training and communications between services have been an issue. We know that many soviet(russian) pilots have had reduced flying time in recent years...and that lack of training will hurt you eventually. What we also don't know is the level of maintenance and supply of spares...if there are logistic problems with every thing else, there could also be problems on that front too.
All valid points.
wondering why Ukraine is not launching long rang missles into the nearest russian town .Tit for Tat as they say.?
There are reports that they launched some ballistic missiles at some air bases on Russian territory. But maybe they avoid it for political reasons because Russians would use that to try to prove that they are merely defending themselves here.
😂🤣 Daj molim te napravi video sa ukrajinskim dronom iz doba sovjetskog saveza.... sa tom igricom....kak je stigel do Zagreba....molim te....i objasni mi naš NATO sistem zaštite... ;-)
Their using naval aircraft as a land based striker? They're that low on resources? Damn....thats like us sending f18s out to a land base and not sending the f22s lol 😆 the russian propaganda war machine is hard at work huh lmao
Well, they might be within range and convenient to send. Not many naval targets, I guess.
Crimean bases are home to these land based Russian navy fighters. You may check the areas to the south and south east air support & patrol are covered by Russian navy fighters. Russian air force covers the north and east. Also, if you look into Russian fighters inventory, they don't have that many 4.5th generation fighters (Su-30M2, Su-34, Su-35 with latest avionics for air to ground search & destroy capability). If you do the maths, they could deploy only less than 200 to Ukraine campaign.
@@jayjay53313 yeah thats exactly what I'm calling out...they don't have enough modern fighters to deploy in this war....
Su-34s were also used in Syria as bombers
@@simonescelsa yeah, I'm pretty sure the designation is su34K tho....its a diff model than other land based su34's....so if they used the naval version to perform land base operations then that should tell ya something lol right?
Не треба це наразі показувать!!!!!!!!!! Як що б там були ваші рідні ви б не мислили такими категоріями. Не треба! Росіяни терористи! Всі розсуди на цю тему певне кощунство!!! Краще ЗАКРИЙТЕ НЕБО!!!!!!!!!!!!! Я зараз у підвалі..... Wi-Fi це все що в мене є.... Не міркуйте, закрийте небо!!!!!!!!!!

Слава ухани
I never get tired of watching Russian military equipment being destroyed. Thanks for posting the video.
so you enjoy war and people dying well weird to say the least
Well, n this war, it is exclusively Russian equipment that gets destroyed :)
Why?? There are people with families inside the equipment
air defense ukraine so destroying, that by mistake shoot down their own aircrafts, hohol
@@showtime112 Ukraine lost 5 planes and 1 mi 8 transport heoicopter in several air battles two days ago. Plus, over a dozen planes were destroyed by groun strikes in the first days of the war
The Russia air force los Many aircraft un Ukraine AND others countried
No one is gonna be scared of the Russian army/Air Force after this debacle!!
They can still level half of Ukraine with the ground. And there's the nukes too. But the trick is to find the right attitude towards Russia.
@@showtime112 all I've seen is nothing works good, how do we know if 30/40 year old nukes even work?
@@jackhouston357 I wouldn't take that chance.
Dosta nagađanja
Sva obaranja ruskih aviona i helikoptera koja se ovdje su potvrđena snimkama (kako olupina, tako i samih obaranja u nekim slučajevima) i registarskim brojevima.
Looking at Ukraine released videos that are mostly incomplete and heavily edited, only few looks genuine while others are mostly doubtful and could be fake. Best is to wait for outcome of the war on who is seizing more territories
