Our Norwegian F-16's donated to Ukraine comes with a drag chute. That would be handy when you guys land on those roads. 😅
first of all you need a chance to fly
Norway is a country of self sufficient warriors, they are hardened by the weather and viking heritage. Plus they make quality products , as for ukraine they build antiquated leaky broken down nuclear power plants, and shoddy high rise flats, as well as money launderers and black market smuggling.

8:15 cap had a moment 😂😂😂. Love ya cap, always adding stupid fun moments at the goofiest times.
35:18 "Oh viewers, we are getting awfully good at this." Must be all that training on the Stoneburner Server... 14:43 For the 'silent' mission you mentioned Cap, it would be interesting to have a comparison perspective with your chatter to the viewers and maybe any of the other "sexy sexy boys" whose cockpit is silent. 2 videos with potential FULL monetization!
10:58 "...we're in the pipe, 5 by 5..." I don't know if you all caught the reference, but it was from the Aliens movie when the dropship captain, played by Lady Gaga, makes that call out. Nice throwback!
Lady Gaga? Now that would be something! 😄 It’s actually Colette Hiller portraying “Colette Ferro” but she kind of does look like Gaga!
seems like a few of the F-16 should carry HARMs…
It would have made the mission a bit more boring but more realistic, but at the same time the enemy would have air power to fight back against the SEAD configured F-16s .
What a wonderful mission!!! Kudos GR crew!.
Low level Parade formation may not be realistic but h 14:13 ot dang it sure looks good!
Chics dig it too LOL

Great episode 👍
love those landings, you guys . . .
BUK is my favorite SAM, and often undervalued. The gliding bombs can’t be shot down because there are no systems in range and they go to fast for manpads.
Yes, you are indeed getting good at this. Great mission.
This was excellent. Perfect little example of how those F-16’s could be potentially used. Damn fine flying as always Grim Reapers!!
Irl it not possible 😅
Great mission guys, low level is my kind of fun! Thanks very much!
Very exciting video! Lots of fun.
wow. great flying and this was an awesome scenario.
You have been doing some great intense missions that really show you under pressure and in those situations the teamwork and discipline is commendable
You are the best TEAM in DCS!!!! Thanks!!!! I need to know what is going to happen to be hopefully effective when they come....YES!!! Thanks CAP!!!! AND YES SIMBA VS GS HAS TO HAPPEN AND WOULD BE BEST VID EVER!!!!!!
That's why Chappie told Masters to knock it off, when he was playing music. It's a time to keep going over the plan, to stay focused.
Good one guys
Who are these impostors? No deaths on take-off or landing and a successful mission? Highly suspicious!
AI Cap?
@@dexlab7539 Could be, hadn't thought of that! Scarey.
Great mission GR! I'm digging the Sniper Gray camo pattern. How do you guys make these aircraft skins? Still setting up my gear, can't wait to join eveyone. Video Valued by Valued Viewer - Fly Army! 🚁
As far as maintaining radio silence in real life, pilots have the luxury of using hand signs to communicate, where you guys don't. And there's a AWAC's transmitting VOX to all, they just cannot reply, but they can hear it. So it's like having a quarterback calling out the plays and the lineman hearing, but not responding. "...and turn...NOW!..." And the newer aircraft, the F-35 and F-22 can send text back and forth on their datalinks, it's all part of the high information aspect of the new systems. DCS is not really set up for that kind of thing. But it would be fun to try. Even if one person acted like an AWACs and coached each player.
Radio silence is not much fun to listen to with these videos though. 😀
Thanks Cap and Reapers!
Love how RU knows f-16's are on the way, and decide to lose half their su-34 and AWACS so the f-16 can't shoot them down and take victories.
'its all part of putin master plan bro'
You laugh now Western person, but the new black sea submarine aviation fleet will have the last laugh 🙌
@@nonsequitorlet him be, liitle they know about the submarine A-50
@@nonsequitor😂😂
@342Rodry I think @nonsequitor is being sarcastic
The Ukrainians are not intercepting the glide bombs because they are saving their SAMs for the cruise missiles.
pretty much, but that's one of the three main reasons two others are that (1) we simply do not have enough sams to cover cities and front line, (2) it's easy to locate and destroy our sams once they are close so the front line
You should clarify your statement. SAM's come in many flavors... glide bombs do not have an IR signature ( no engine ) so heat seeking sam's are useless to start with against current orc glide bombs. Radar signature is very small, so that's not a really feasible solution either. IR manpads need line of sight. Tell me which SAM's are well suited to intercept glide bombs?
The radar cross section is small, but probably not impossibly small. With glide kits, it should definitely be >0.25m² for the FAB-500 and significantly higher for the FAB-1500.
Actually the problem is that most of their SAMs have been destroyed. They been begging for more Patriot for months
@@dexlab7539 Most of their Russian SAM units have been destroyed and they've gone through most of their missiles already and there are few sources for re-loads. The 2 patriot batteries are still active if short 2 launchers. The AFU are scheduled to receive 5 new batteries to be delivered this year. The announcement came from the factory at about the same time that the company announced that it had increased production to 500 missiles/yr (41/month) and will be at 550 by end of 2024. BTW the Khinzal production is observed to be around 10 missiles/mo.
Vipers are so beautiful!
Another complex mission well executed!
Man that was a fun, sexy flying and somehow successful mission! We cant be Cap's War Gamers any more!
I am also worried.
Great fun!
Codename Flankers have modeled FAB 500 glide bombs. Humans can use, AI cannot atm
Cool
Feel like I'm sneakin around the house at Midnight when you pan over to the SA11/17's
The US explained why their glide bombs arent being effective Russia can completely jam areas the size of Estonia.
I love these missions!
According to real F16 pilots the mission would be over as soon the F16 tries to start from a road, because of engine failures. Rocks and all kind of stuff would be sucked into the intake.
Hmm the 2 seat crews talk to each other via intercom.
Of course that massive FOD sucker under the Viper's nose would probably have issues with a road takeoff.
LOL yes they'd have to have some pretty dang clean roads...
I work with will, he's a nice guy
7:54 Good thing jet blast is not modelled or you would only have one bird in the sky from the start.
50 pounds is like, a 5 gallon bucket. One could carry what Cap landed on
I suspect this is more wishful thinking than reality :) Good video!
Most of the videos on this channel are, but it's selling fine to the delusional crowd.
Next challenge....who can land with the least amount of fuel.
nice
Putin has a picture of an f16 on a dartboard.
I hear he has lots of darts too
Nice! I wish Americans cared a bit more about this conflict as it is, but this is good entertainment in any case, and arguably more instructive than more general information about the importance of Patriots, air superiority, etc...
Depending on how accurate the game is.. would be a nice demonstration.
In the game the Russians are attacking storage units not playgrounds and markets. So I'd say the game isn't very realistic.
@@iddan1205 this kind of snarky rhetoric is masturbatory and juvenile
@@iddan1205 not to mention the AWACS would notify the Su-34s of the airborne hostiles and will escape. As well as far more air defenses

Cap needs to learn that the dogfight switch can move in two directions.
It does?!
@@grimreapers It looks like you panicked and went into dogfight mode, which defaults to sidewinders, when you were well out of sidewinder range.

Oh nice! But... Were Mig-31 with R-37M😊 Oh any another jet :( Oh, mb in next mission (same mis) u wanna use IADS?
8:22 Nerd!
i think its kinda inapproriate, but it would be cool to see you guys go head to head against some pretty hardcore Russian streamers. f16s vs migs over ukraine. make it several days of sorties too, so it becomes a grudge match marathon.
They would never put themselves in a position to lose to russians.
Works for me!
f16's and roads = FOD kill. would that be considered a friendly kill?
I said stuff to the US government online about adding drones into DCS world 😂. If we can’t operate peacefully as a society, we might as well use this as cheap training. Let’s see if we can get some of you hired as trainers one day. Virtual pilot training.
There's something that makes me put the F-16 in my top 10 best looking jets, still don't know what. 🤔 And Cap, we didn't see what happened at the start. 😉
Coming round for a seven-zero-niner...
1986 classic Sir.
Cap are you looking forward to seeing Alien Romulus in August.

does the ground terrtain matter that much? it looks pretty unrealistic upclose anyway?
It's really the trees, they block the SAM's radar like in real life. Need those trees.
Greetings from Ukraine! Am I biased, or does the Ukrainian livery really fit the F-16?

@@dawixd2678 That's just your opinion, and it's wrong. Sorry bud
@@Oscar-qh5jn how is it wrong? You don't like it because it looks good, but because ukrainians use it.
Just something I’ve always found curious: Does anyone know why the afterburner column thing shrinks and expands in diameter as the engine spools up and then the afterburner ignites?
It's called a convergent-divergent variable nozzle. To get the max power out of the engine you shrink the exit hole size, BUT when after burner engages the nozzle MUST be opened to max for it to work properly.
Oh cool, thanks Cap, I guess you really do learn something new every day!
@@grimreapers”shrink the exit hole size”….giggity 😂
Isn't it time the s-300 and s-400 efficiency is updated to take in to account how bad the detection rate is and the friendly fire within DCS
Even if they follow the wishes of your fantasy world, that wouldn't change reality. All your internet bullshit is just that.
Man the F-16 is just such a sexy air frame
It doesn't feel like a GR road landing without a car spawning in front of someone
I prefer tanks LOL
Drop tanks... What a waste! They need to put guidance and an external fuse/primer on the drop tank so once it separates from the fighter, it becomes a small guided fire bomb. Since they sometimes explode when dropped, why not make them a weapon?
Apparently Ukraine hit a glide bomb with a ZSU-23-2
None of the Russian bases are defended? Yeah ok.😂
manpadS!!!!! not manpad. Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems, S= Systems
The S is silent in the UK 😂
Comment just to drive engagement because I cannot vote this up twice 🙂
Ukraine already has harpoons, the harpoon f-16 combo will be lethal against the Russian navy
If NATO would have anything against the Russian navy, the would have sunk a single active warship by now and not focus on museums, transportships and patrol boats.
One minor problem. You're going to have to fly your F 16s from Poland to get to the target. Anything parked in Ukraine is called a target. With the amazing fuel economy of the F 16, getting near the front line is a significant part of the battle.
Ukraine will try every type of missile the F-16 can fire.
2 new missiles from the US this week. One uses AI in swarm to divide up targets. The other is hypersonic that can be internal on f35. The game has changed boys.
Yup got both in DCS.
So overall new absurdly expensive toys to leech money from the people, whilt utterly pointless in real life by just that ridiculous high price alone.
@@miriamweller812 once ya get past the absurdity of war in general, you have a point. In the meantime, both "toys" are important. Dividing targets has been a long standing problem leading to overkill, wasted missiles, wasted money, wasted life. Typically the goal is to sink a ship, not kill the whole crew. And hypersonics matter because stand-off systems can be overcome by speed. US adopted this stand off approach. That was countered by superior dog fighters and hypersonics. Always a tit for tat that never ends. Like a new anti virus leads to a new virus.
Just a heads up, one minute into the video and you are using terms that the average viewer won't understand, FLOT, SEAD etc. Might you be able to edit into your videos a definition for things like this when first mentioned?
Will you please bring back the Cap V. Everyone else??? Pretty please?????
How does one do the tax payer cost mod thingy!? That’s great.
short answer: no.
F-16s could take out glide bombs easy but even Russia doesn't use its aviation on the front much so that part was a dumb test. Ukraines not getting F-16s to dues on the front anyway.
@@wandameadows5736 glide bombs cannot be shot down once launched.

IRL not a chance Rus IADS too strong. A50S are linked with S400s and su 30/5. As soon as F16 is detected by A50 4n6 missiles will being climbing then diving on F16.
That might be how their IADS system is supposed to work but recent history suggests that not everything performs in real life as it does on paper.
