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.

And you just learned why you don't touch AMERICA'S anything. 3 - 1.
How about the other way? Or, Israeli F-15s vs Iranian F-4s?
Ah...a couple of rotisserie Felons and their AWACS.
NGAD vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns and missles plzkthx SU-57 vs F-15 ACTIVE, dogfight, guns only plzkthx
Day 38 asking for F-22 vs 10 MiG 21
The YF-23 Wingman was out for blood at the end.
Was it ever! Damn, lost leader and turned into Thanos with the "fine, I'll do it myself". Lol
He went “MUHHUHUHAHAHAAA”👹
“Joke’s on you, flight lead was the only one who cared about the Geneva suggestions”
His lead was his baby sisters husband, & he'd promised to keep him safe for her. So at that point he had only 2 options. Go home with his enemies blood on his sword, or never go home again.
He went pitbull
No matter how many times you suddenly cut to black on your KIAs, it always makes me jump. You sure pissed off that YF-23 wingman. The way he followed the cripple AWACS down and even shot it some more with guns just to make sure made it seem like he was unleashing pure rage.
Got me good too, lol.
He just wanted to commit murder at this pointy, he wasn't just taking down the AWACS, he wanted anyone in it to die! Pure rage.
Just rewatched, so good. Spoiler alert: YF-23 wingman to base: "Boutta commit three felonies. Over."
two of them being felonceptions
@@revolverswitch😂😂😂😂
15:11 the cinematography of the YF=23chasing down the AWACS, and then diving after it after the missle hit, culminating in full-on Terminator mode 20mm Vulcan sawing off both wings in the vertical dive - just beautiful!
Second YF-23 went full Mobius 1 on y’all 💀
Ribbon fighter out of retirement again
MorB
Did someone say morb?
@@CatGoon67 AWACS Sky Eye: >
The way that the YF-23 Wingman dodged R-77-1 at the end was absolutely crazy !!!
Mislile simply lost track
Stealth… REAL stealth, has its advantages.
@@mirjanaandic3113Yea the YF-23 did almost nothing to dodge a
Idk why there's anything to dodge in the first place. I was under the impression that missiles at hypersonic speeds have trouble receiving guidance due to plasma formation.
@@hanrockabrand95at those kinda ranges they would be tracking themselves. No need for any guidance even if so. Also at such short range the missile wouldn’t have reached hypersonic speed yet either.
The YF23 wingman took things real personal.
Seeing the YF-23 approaching the AWACS from behing was a beautiful and scary sight
Indeed... and I was cheering for it, but I was still scared!:D
Lol. That YF-23 wingman was MILDLY upset! 😅
To put it mildly.
For being less maneuverable, that 23 had no problem jackslappin the peanut butter right out your sandwich...
"slightly" less maneuverable. The devil is in the details. That "slightly" sounds to me as "comparably" maneuverable.
Stealth is good, when the felons had to break lock their missiles tended to miss. YF-23 missile could self guide to target better
YF-23 rear wings are massive and can rotate 40°
YF-23 wingman: hold my beer
Well said
My uncle worked on the YF-23 Blackwidow II and told me that the YF-23 was actually on par with maneuverability due to the massive tail planes. He said they never really got into testing its maneuverability too much so it was told that it was less maneuverable l. Thought that I’d like to share that
This is where the 23 really failed same as the x32. They weren't at the same level of testing as the 22 and 35 and it hurt their image in the competition even if the end product would have been great.
F-22 is only more maneuverable at extreme low speed. Just to put it in comparison, the ruddervators of the F-23 is as big as many aircraft's main wings, think F-5 size
@@Shadowboost Aaaahhh! He said it! "Ruddervators"!!! LMAO Lol. I know that's what they're called. Still makes me laugh tho.
I hope one day the classified specs of the YF23 get declassified so we can have an even better modeling ❤
maybe when 7th gens come out lol
Considering they probably used similar tech in the new b-21 raider, I wouldn't get my hopes up on them revealing its secrets anytime soon
@@killerblingxbl7th gen will probably have teleportation and invisibility or something
@@AntiAzovIndividual Or be a prop plane depending on how diplomatic relations work out in the next few decades. 😅
If you want to see one up close and real, the Gray Ghost is at the Western Museum of Flight at Torrance Airport in Torrance Ca. You can actually touch it
If I was the "Widow lead". I would have played it like the scenario in Red Storm Rising Frisbees of Dreamland. Hug the Earth and pop up at the last minute to smoke the AWACS.
Loved that book. One common line among VLO pilots in those books: "I hope this stealth shit works."
Just finished that via Audio for the first time on Friday. Read it multiple times since got it in 90. Good timing :-)
“Alright, he seems upset.” The way that Black Widow persecuted the bandits, that really seems like an understatement. 😂
Hey, this will be a fun one. Just wondering, can we see a Su-47 vs a Su-57?
That was quite the sendoff for the YF-23. WE NEED YOU IN THE YF-23. I wanna see that cockpit!!
If I had to guess, he hasn't flown it himself yet because the cockpit might not be fully modeled yet but idk
It doesn't have its own cockpit and uses the one of the f15C instead
If they kept it real, it'll look like an F-15 cockpit.
Must have been so frustrating for the Felon wingman! Looked like he could see the YF-23 but all his missiles couldn't 😫😂
That was Gold😂😭
The YF-23 has stayed top secret for so many years that very few have ever seen the aircraft or know anything about it. I worked on the Northrop crew that built the first F18 Prototypes in the Hawthorne plant back in the late 70s. In the later 80s a few of those guys had went over to the YF23 program, and remember one of them saying long hours and over time from hell. Said he would probably be divorced over it. Those were the days like no others.
When the YF-23 lead died. Camera turns to YF-23 wingman "To be continued" music plays.
12:21 I get jumpscared every time by these sudden splashes with that loud bang sound :(
The Yf-23 wingman thought you killed his brother or something. He’ll be an ace in no time, that is, if he doesn’t kill everything in his wake!
"He seems upset." A very apt observation.
Lol "turned me into a lawn dart" that's funny as man. Ended up being 3 lawn darts. That last seen of the YF-23 chasing down your AWACS was insane man, it was like an eagle hunting a bird 15 times it's size, and man did you piss him off, he shot that shit to hell and back all the way down just to prove a point. Bloody sick video champ.
Sawing the wings off that AWACS with 20mm was crazy amazing looking! :D
@@angelarch5352 bloody oath champ.
That wingman went full Micheal Jordan and said: "then I took it personally!"
Nothing personal but I was rooting for YF-23. The wingman was like "I'm going to blow this SOB out of the sky. BANG!
The view of the yf23 coming up from behind the AWACS when you see the engines. They look like burning red eyeballs of rage. Great video GS. THANK YOU
I still think we should have gone with the YF-23 instead of the F-22.
Both and kept them active.
At the time, I felt that the YF-23 turned into a black project. I still feel that way today.
@@Cronus_1 NGAD tech?
@gld1010 That was my thought. Just looking at it is enough to conclude that it was leagues ahead of everything else at the time, and even to this day. Especially with the F22 being so publicly known, it would make sense for them to use that as a smokescreen while the YF-23 went on to become the top secret fighter that was seemingly just a myth.
NGAD before NGAD.
GS: "I'll push back into him" Amraam: " Say less."
That two-ship of YF-23's streaking across the sky is a beautiful thing.
That YF-23 is an evil looking bird. 😮
I'd like to see you do this mission flying the black widow. I like when you fly one jet and then switch to the jet you just fought.
Fun fact! Erich Hartmann(Fighter Ace with Most confirmed Kills) switches aircraft so that the enemy pilots wont fly away which happens when they see his Black nosed 109. Also you celebrated abit too early when you downed the flight lead
the battlefield theme will never get old
Neither will the Sicario sounds at the beginning
Definitely appreciate the roll rate capability of an uncontrolled felon.
Thing is , the YF23 was/is considered MORE stealthy then the 22 and if Felons have big problems with a 22 then a 23 should absolutely destroy a Felon. 🤷🏽
Temper temper Mr. Black Widow. He was pissed. Great video as always! The YF-23 is one of my most favorite jets of all time.
The fact the stealth cut off the missile guidances at that close of a range is WILD
Man that second YF-23 had something unleashed when you killed his wingman. Dude just went full demon mode on you guys.
Thanks for more Su-57 content
Love the menacing dramatic music in the background 😜. Also, the way the video cuts as soon as you're hit. Makes me jump every time. But its good to see you're not totally invisible, keeping it real 🫡.
Never been so happy to see you KIA lol. Gotta restore the honor of the F-23....
Black Widow wingman got the blood rage like the Captain in 300.
Stealth in the cons? Who was flying the 23s, Forrest Gump?
Well it worked in the end..😂
Maybe, Gump was one lucky SOB that always seemed to come out on top...
I see it as more of a flex. "Here I am. Now do something about it."
Not as weird as the fact that they chose not to fire at the Felons for so long. Absolutely 0 reason a Felon with external munitions should have first kill opportunity. 200km vs. 160km missile range doesn't mean much when the Felon shouldn't be aware of the the YF-23 until it detects the incoming AMRAAM.
su47 vs 57?
100% agree!!
THIS IS THE 2ND VIDEO YOU HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO A LAWN DART!!! The F-18 you spun into the ground too!!
That yf23 black widow wingman was aggressive as f, the dodge and overall flying
YF-23 vs Su-47 dogfight?
Wouldn't be much, the 23 isn't a dogfighter.
YES!
@@MeerkatADV your the first person to say the yf23 isn't a dogfighter, everyone else always says the 23 would smoke the 47
I agree
X-29 vs SU-47
Hey man. Just wanted to comment that I love your decision to bring in the ending music drop right in the middle of the fight. Really built up suspense and made things really exciting
Please more YF-23 engagement!!!! Thanks, I really enjoyed this.
While I'm thankful for another YF-23 video, I'm also really looking forward to you flying it.
YF-23 is such a cool looking fighter to this day. Still needs to be produced and refined.
You know, after you killed the YF-23 leader, the wingman went: "When the Doom music starts playing." Would have been a fitting backdrop for the rest of the video.
I don’t even play DCS, but I love these videos because I’m a military aviation nerd.
Great seeing the YF-23 in action instead of just films from flight test!
YF-23-what a beautiful machine. Imo, best looking jet fighter
Agreed. Still looks like alien technology 40 years later.
Imagine if the YF-23 actually went into full production and the F-23 with modern day upgrades was born… How scary would it have been to fight against such an instrument of destruction that’s even more stealthier than the Raptor… Terrifying
3:30 - that iconic background music and menacing noise.... definition of GS.
Was robin olds flying that second blackwidow😂 Absolute savage
These vids are amazing- I'm addicted to the technical commentary.
Um... who flew for your opposition? (Or are they just that stealthy? 😆) As for Widow Wingman: "He poured out all his rage and hate upon the whale's white hump."
5:57 that fox 3 shot is wicked... you can feel the kick 😮
For clarification about the, “seeing stealth”. China can also see stealth. However that doesn’t mean they can get a lock. “Stealth” isn’t being invisible. It’s about preventing detection and a lock on long enough to do the mission. Most stealth aircraft are trackable to low band radar. But not trackable for high frequency. Which gives the radar quality required for a good lock. So low band radar will give you the notification that there’s something there. But you won’t see it for targeting.
Finally someone who says it!! Personally I think it is even more horrible, imagine knowing that there is someone out there who wants to kill you bu you literally can't do anything to shoot him down, that must be very demoralizing
Adding on to this, using the bands that can see stealth will mean you see damn near everything else out there and get a massively cluttered radar picture filled with things like birds clouds and other unhelpful returns
The YF23 is quite an aircraft!!👍👍
The Su-57 wingman AND GS really did the "i was shot down in Ace Combat 7" maneuver 🗿💀
The felon and the black widow. This sounds like a true crime story out of south Florida. Unfortunately my ex is both the felon and the black widow. Back to planes.
"Meanwhile, in DCS..."
I LOVE the increased use of cinematics. Great content as always
It seems that's very beneficial to guide those missiles as long as possible when you are dealing with a stealth opponent as a missile radar is not nearly as sensitive as a radar on a jet.
My uncle worked on the YF-23 Blackwidow II and told me that the YF-23 was actually on par with maneuverability due to the massive tail planes. He said they never really got into testing its maneuverability too much so it was told that it was less be maneuverable l. Thought that I’d share that to you
"We can finally track your F-22!" "Did you see his twin brother?"
That YF-23 wingman knew the task. It filled that AWACS with holes to make sure it was going down hard.
Is it just me or the Felon is one big juicy target for the AMRAAM?
Just you
14:02 Say what you will about the Felon, but it spirals really nicely when it gets shot down.
Can't wait to see you pilot the black widow
Thank you man I was just waiting for a new video before go to bed 🔥
I think you may have pissed him off a little bit bro 😂😂
LOVE that you showed that entire mission thru! Thanks for that!
That Black Widow stood on business.🕷️
I think the yf-23 is more terrifying than the Raptor when it's stalking you. Dude went god mode on you guys. We must see him again!
I really thought up until halfway thru the video that you were in the widow😂😂
I was kind of hoping both wingmen would take each other out so that both awacs would have to try and ram each other.
Maybe they could have tried to use their radars to fry each other from the sky. 🤪
"Ramming speed!" - AWACs commander
Hey GS, these 2v2 fights are great. Would love to see more of them. Keep it up, you are killing it :)
YESSS - YF 23 not only shot all down but at the end used its missiles and guns to ensure death.
Coincidentally, the readiness of SU-57 is about the same as the F-23.
YF-23 wingman: ...and I took that personally.
That YF-23 wingman went full Michael Jordon on that AWAC.
Careful. Only a couple A-50s left...
They started making more of em.
Hell has no fury like a Black Widow scorned.
The YF-23 is a formidable aircraft ! It’s stealth capability allows it to get even closer to the enemy thus making a high success of kill ! I hope DOJ is making a secret sufficient quantity of this aircraft !
This is probably the most intense duel yet
Nah bro this setup how half those missiles didn’t even track at the end from the felon wingman when fighting the widow wingman.
lol! YF-23 Wingman was like "OH, YOU GON' LEARN TODAY"
I gotta say, the Felon lawn dart maneuver is one of my favorites.
every time i saw the widow, i just thought "dang bro, that's sick"
I want to see how capable is f35 when douing a-a and -a-g like f18
so basically how the F-35 will perform in it's multirole 'role'
yeah, thank you. english is not my native language@@leveler7436
@@halit3584 no problem! 😁
That Russian AWACs at 15:52 looks like some sort of kitchen appliance from Temu.
Good kill on the 23! Such a good video as always. Thanks GS!
That was one angry Black Widow... :D
Beware the bite of Black Widow
