22 AMRAAMs. The F-15's BVR capabilities, especially now with the X variant is unmatched. The idea is that an F-35 will spot targets ahead of the 15's, relay the data to them through a data link, and a couple 15's can launch 44 AMRAAMs with only two aircraft before having ever been detected. The old problem is that the F-15's radar is 50 miles, but the AMRAAM has 86 nautical mile range (98.9 miles), but now that the F-35 can extend that range, beating every enemy radar, there's no possible way, barring pre-warning from ground or intelligence assets, that they could be detected by enemy air.
22 AMRAAMs... I always though that the US was lacking in the bomber interceptor role ever since the F-14 left service, but holy shit... you could have one guy defeat an entire bomber wing...
@@totalnerd5674 Yeah, I worked with the AIM-120 C and and D’s, but they’ve got another AIM series like the 120 with even better range in the works, so the range is going to be absolutely INSANE.
Can you please do a segment on the loadout of your planes and the missiles both you and the enemy carry? Sometimes it is hard to understand the capabilities of your weapons system/
it's also a piece of a whole, it's not meant to ever engage enemy aircraft from a near-peer (sorry I snorted a bit saying that in regards to Russia) or peer by itself, it's entire purpose is as a BVR munition truck to use AWACS or an F-35 or something to guide its missiles in with data link I believe
I don't think this engagement is what the US and Russia had in mind when it came to Mutually Assured Destruction.... Fun and funny video and glad to see both sides be modernized in this peer engagement
@@tigereyewong9757 I feel as if the humor was missed here. I'm referring to MAD, the nuclear deterrant in the idea that if one nation nukes the other back to the stone age, they are getting nuked to the stone age as well. Here, both US and Russian aircraft mutually destroyed each other with Fox 3's. Basically, in MAD nations mutually destroy each other with nuclear missiles, here, pilots mutually destroy each other with air-to-air missiles. . . . In regards to your point though, you are correct! The USAF would definitely be moody over this outcome. However, I'm pretty sure the Russian Air Force would prefer a victory over a draw, too.
Pretty sure instead of fists, they 'll pull their sidearms to continue the duel by seeing who's got the fastest draw OR if they both are quite some decent chaps, they 'll perhaps just pat each other in the back and shake hands for putting quite a good fight in the air ✈️👨✈️😅🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺😅👨✈️✈️😉😊

I swear this man's reactions slay me. "My wingman is freaking out..." BOOOM!! "He just got killed... I'm in danger." That made me crack up so hard with that little laugh he had before he said I'm in danger lol
For me my most fovourite plane is j-31 but f-15 and su-27 and all it versions are also my favourite and f-16 is my favourite multirole and od course i also like f-22 and su-57 and j-20 but we know only a little about them
Four mutual kills for the price of two. Thanks again for another awesome video, Growling. This battle also highlights the need for 5th gens. 4th gens even with upgrades aren't as survivable as a 5th gen.
Wonder what would be the outcome if it was a 4v4, except 2 of the Blue jets were F-22s. Seems like the EX is supposed to be paired with 5th gens like the F-22 and F-35 as a hunter-killer team.
If you're already on the deck (that is, you are already in the densest air possible), and you suspect a missile is close, what would happen if you climbed vertically? Would a nearly spent missile be able to follow? Although the air thins as you climb, a nearly spent missile will certainly decelerate due to gravity. The questions are: Would gravity sap it of its remaining kinetic energy more quickly than air resistance on the deck? Or would the thinning air cancel out any energy loss to gravity?
gravity never stopped when its on the deck its not pointing horizontal its pointing slightly up so as it gets lower to the ground it climbs slightly to remain level. also if you go vertical in planes you decelerate because you are fighting gravity with your engines since your wings generate no lift so the advantage should go to the missile.
I suspect that if you are in the MAR, then the rocket motors aren't spent in the missiles yet. Going vertical will probably result in the missile accelerating in the vertical faster than you do. Outside of the MAR, at low altitude, I don't know for sure. One other aspect of going vertical on a Radar guided missile: The ground can help confuse said missiles, even with modern Pulse-Doppler systems, also the ground provides an obstacle that the missile can hit. Going vertical means the missile will have an easier time guiding itself to you.
Wonder how development is going with BVR missiles having multiple seekers is going, I'm tempted to know how more deadly if something like an AMRAAM could have a IR/UV/Optical sensor to negate notching. I've heard of USAF testing an IR guided AMRAAM and that shit gets me pumped.
It has less to do with notching (I'm pretty sure modern signal processing has pretty much already solved that issue, but don't quote me on that) than it does stealth aircraft. Detecting a stealth aircraft is (relatively) simple, the challenge is getting a solid enough lock to guide a missile, since the best way to detect them is to use a lower frequency radar, which inherently gives worse image resolution. My best guess as to the purpose of the IR AMRAAM is that the launch aircraft will guide it into the general vicinity of the target via datalink, then it will use it's terminal IR homing for the final engagement, negating the need for a strong radar lock.

rly good video GS! I have several questions: * what are the differences between the r77-1 and the r27EA? why did you use 2 differents fox3 ? especially when you use only the r77-1 on the vidéo. * I couldn't find any ranges in the hud of your plane and i found rly weird to not have any ranges displayed on the hud (maybe it is displayed on the hud but i couldn't find it).Because in other videos when you are in NATO fighters you can find the distance between you hand the bandits displayed on the radar /hud , it always seems to show you the ranges of the bandits so you Can know the MAR. *The symbology on the HUD seems weird when you locked and fire the first missile
I'm not GS, so I can't answer all of your questions. However, the difference between the R-77 and R-27 is simple. The R-27 is a much older missile and simply isn't as good as the R-77, although it does have its uses. It's a bit like the AIM-7 Sparrow and the AIM-120 AMRAAM, except that the AIM-7 never had an active radar-guided variant.
I honestly thought the F-15EX was pilot by GS friends in the match with Su-40SM, it would be interesting to see real display performance from people then from IA, but still gg.
The tac view was a very helpful example of why you drop your altitude in defending cause that chaff set and cold was perfect but missile still had energy. Took me a while to understand that concept in action.
You have to give some props to the russian flight as an underdog with less missiles to push back and still got the draw. Another great vid. "Big Sad" for those F-15s though.
Great video. I would be keen to see some CAS or Interdiction type stuff on the channel. I know that's a bit different to what your known for, but its still cool.
