The only mistake was playing that card prematurely. Doing the exact same thing twice in a row only works on people who didn't catch exactly what you did the first time.
Insanely hard challenge. Like watching a 70yr old fending off a 25yr old with guile and tons of experience. - "Pocket full of sand to the face for you, you wippersnapper!" 😂
The 70 yr old setting up for a killer blow until he tripped on his shoe laces.... (joke). Unsurprisingly GS delivers. Soon he'll dogfight an F-22 with the NASA Orbiter (Challenger or Columbia) and find a way to counter his odds and get a chance at the fight. Greatest pilot I've seen. Maverick's got nothing on him (except the P'51, movie star appeal and big wallet. Hang on there GS you'll catch up!).
Thanks for the wonderful video! It's nice to see that sometimes when avionics aren't up to the task that the Mark 1: Eyeball still has it. That being said... I hate the Phantom. I had to work on them during my time in the Navy and they're the most messed up garbage platforms to work on. I was so happy to get transferred to the S-3's and much later the F/A-18's (Super Hornets). S-3's were awful to work on, but at least there was enough space you could squeeze your hands in.
The missile fired from pylon number 3 at 10:20 is the r-27T /ET which is an infrared-homing missile with no way possible way for the F-4 rwr to detect.
Shouldn't he push as hard as he can before he launches a Fox3? I mean he should have no fear of an AIM -7, so getting into No-Escape for his Fox3s should just be a factor of radar tracking and pursuit.
This was great fun to watch. More? Please? Edit: I love the Phantom because I remember them here in Australia alongside our Aardvarks. I just have no interest in flying them because they're so outmatched. Imagine my surprise when I was rapt watching the battle unfold and I really wanted to see a round 2.
My dad told me in the F-4 when they would dog fight; to clean up the smoke they would put one engine idle and one engine in burner. Smoke goes away and speed isn’t too high at the merge. Try it.
Try this: When the Hawks first engaged and sent him cold and you were pushing, start rippling off F1s in intervals to keep him defensive and cold. I'm pretty sure the F-4 is faster on the deck than the Flanker and you could continue to close the gap for a rear aspect F2.
Great one... Yea, totally and "supremely outmatched"... looks like the R-27EA Missile may fly a little slower but therefore a fair bit longer than the R77? Dunno how that can make sense? Perhaps less thrust but longer burn time? I'm no expert, but It definitely felt like the R-27 was able to "hang around" for longer than one would anticipate, only to find you, once you turned around into the bandit and inadvertently into the missile as well.
So just a curious question GS. I know you were working to get into IR range, but at the point where you had him off the nose defending the SAM's, would not that have been a perfect opportunity to light him up with the radar and take a crack with a sparrow? Might have been a low percentage shot, but it would have kept him busy longer
@@andrewlau6466 My thought wasn't really about getting a sparrow kill as it was to keep him defending that few more seconds needed to close to IR range
Like the video. When he fired this rocket? Is he somehow figured out your plan and fired just when your SAM engaged? Or is the rocket you thought you defeated?

Wouldn’t mind some prop vs prop or just (WW2) era dogfights again! Been a little while since we’ve had some of that

Classic GS lol
I got him exactly where he wants me 😅
Loved the outmatched situation here with the SAMs. Great content as always.
I appreciate you thank you.
Oh heck. Wasn't expecting to see you here, Paddy
@@GrowlingSidewinderthese are super fun to watch with a kiddo next to me. Much appreciated for the content!!
“YOU CAUGHT ME MONOLOGUING!”
Classic GS
LMAO! It was a good plan and nearly worked.
The only mistake was playing that card prematurely. Doing the exact same thing twice in a row only works on people who didn't catch exactly what you did the first time.
The SAM launchers turned away in shame when they saw you get shot down.

@@briannabanx5980 tripping on his shoe laces would be the analogy if he crashed this is more like getting a quick jab to the face mid wind up
Dude, the way you blocked that missile with your face? Chef's kiss. 😂
That's funny!
Loving this series. Your strategy was sound, I thought the Flanker was toast both times. Your worst mistake was declaring victory out loud!
nah the f4 vs su 27 is the wildest shit i have seen today
Truly is impressive of your knowledge of what each of the jets you fly is capable of doing and the weapon systems 🙂
Go get him grandpa!
If I am ever on a mission with GS and he sounds confident or says "I'm safe". I know it is over.
Just punch out the second he says it! GS's confidence is a missile magnet! He's only a good pilot when he's scared of dying! :P
Famous last words... 😅
These are “signature” GS famous last words. I knew he was dead when he said “I surely defeated that missile, cause I’ve been cold for so long”.

@@darthvader0219 NANI?!?
GS: Just where I want him
Missile: You’re talking about me?
Day 0.5 : hot air balloon vs space shuttle
we need this.
This isn’t Microsoft Simulator with airfourceproud
This is genius
Space Shuttle has this!
confidence was high!!
GS: just where I want him
Su-27: cool guys don't look at explosions
That SU 27 leaving the wreck of the F4 in the background has to be the coldest outro ever. Great outmatched though! You almost had him GS
If the flanker dies imma crash out
If the felon was almost dead, the Flanker will probably die.
The Phantom is such a "muscle car" of a jet... sounds great, looks awesome, an oldie but a goodie.
This is a really cool series.
Keep it up!
Great video, made me jumped at the end lol! Love this series.
oh my god. what a shot. both played perfectly. thanks.
"closing the distance and look at this I got him right where I want him..........." should make a slogan in a Tshirt.
Come home from work, and there's a GS video posted... what a nice way to relax (except for all of the tension, of course)!
famous last words "...OH!"

My all time favourite aircrafts together in what has to be the video of the year. So Lit 🔥🔥🔥
Personification of the "im a genius! Oh no" meme haha. As always fun to watch
Watching Growling Sidewinder is like what Forest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will get."
Love your content man keep up the good work.
He was onto you after the first time you tried to push up on him.
"If he tries to recommit my Fox 2s.....OH SHI" LOL classic
Aww.. GS! I was rootin' for ya at the end there...
Still waiting for some of that old school 2v2 or 4v4 pvp action you did back in the day! the best content
He played you well man, great video.
Well Glock 17 gangsta style Cessna 172 vs F-22 isn’t far off from this. * slowly opening the popcorn bucket *
hm
That was an R-27EA, why wasn't the RWR going crazy? Does it work in a band that the F-4 can't pick up?
I’m confused too. Wonder if that was an R-27T or something IR guided.
The missile fired from pylon number 3 at 10:20 is the r-27T
/ET which is an infrared-homing missile with no way possible way for the F-4 rwr to detect.
@@MuhammadAli-255 Yeah that’s what I thought
f35 vs eurofighter typhoon bvr !! Its a good test against the modern multi roles.
"I've got him right where I want him. Laughing at my funeral."
Well flown. And you had him just where you wanted him for a second.
Day 6 asking for rouge SU-57 vs Russia.
that would be cool
Do you mean rogue?
@@M4XIMUS135 you know what he meant
@@M4XIMUS135 I trusted the autocorrect lol 😅
Why do you want a red su57 😂
Alas! Twas but an illusion!! These are great!
4:55 i expected the boom already right after "..this is going decently well.." 😅
Algebra alone isn’t angry enough math 🧮
Fear and Loathing against a Su-27
Great video once again.
Wow, it was extremely impressive that you managed to stay alive that long!
"My Fox-2 will" What was that? You were breaking up! I couldn't hear you!
That was a valiant effort
"I'm a genius!"
"Oh no!"
xD
50 years later and its still the most menacing aircraft I’ve ever seen. The F-14 is pretty, but the F-4 LOOKS LIKE it was built to kill you.
That missile was like, “hello there”😅😅😅😅
"I'm already so cold" same bro, same💀
I have to admit that the air-to-air doesn't usually interest me so much, but that was, well intriguing let's say 🤙
Shouldn't he push as hard as he can before he launches a Fox3? I mean he should have no fear of an AIM -7, so getting into No-Escape for his Fox3s should just be a factor of radar tracking and pursuit.
SAM sites I guess
@@JJPlayzOnP5 That's pretty much how it played out!
@@PrimarchX Yea maybe he couldve kept pushing before he dragged to the base I mean he can defend those SAM missiles
SAM holding him back
@@azrael6067 Not at first. GS pushed quite far out. But whatever.
It's not the plane, it's the pilot. Unless it's the F22 in which case it's definitely the plane.
it was damn interesting from the tactical side, despite the result you have a good analysis, thanks for the video
Famous last words... 🤣 "Oh shx"...
Awesome video.
Damnit, I thought you were going to get him there.....had him right where you wanted him.
Great battle!
A bad week for good ol’ sidewinder… dying every episode 💀 good content though 😊
2:55 The pilot's listening to the Daft Punk...
day, idfk of fokker DR.1 vs NGAD because idrk, it'd be funny
I had fkin stroke trying to read that in my mind

What are you talking about?

Bro yes

Those long range IR missiles are scary as hell.
the moment when you set a trap for the flanker , but you become the bait of R-27
Well it was a solid plan though. Good effort!

good plan though
My dad told me in the F-4 when they would dog fight; to clean up the smoke they would put one engine idle and one engine in burner. Smoke goes away and speed isn’t too high at the merge. Try it.
i would like to see more battles in heavy terrain to see how it could be used stuff like this or the HOBS fox 2s
Another entry for the "I spoke too soon" compilation
Love the outmatched series
Fantastic!
Would love to see this scenario with the Fishbed vs the Eagle
It seems like some of those missiles are always there like 10 seconds after you decide that they've surely missed by now.
This must be terrifying in VR 😮
That was an epic "Oh Shit"
Try this: When the Hawks first engaged and sent him cold and you were pushing, start rippling off F1s in intervals to keep him defensive and cold. I'm pretty sure the F-4 is faster on the deck than the Flanker and you could continue to close the gap for a rear aspect F2.
3:17 Wait? How’s that fair giving the Su-27 Fox 3’s? He’s got a big enough advantage with the ER Fox 1’s & 2’s.
Thank you very much, fox3s just to make it a little more spicy.
Also remember it’s “outmatched” not “fair fight” 😄
@@GrowlingSidewinder Thought so, cheers mate.
@@GrowlingSidewinder True true, like it wouldn’t have been a fair fight to begin with but yeah, all the more glory if you had won aye 🏆!

'So', !
'What happened' ! ?
- 'Besides that' !
Kinda wanna see this for the Pacific area. F-4EJ Kai vs some Chinese Flanker.
Love the new song!
So just a curious question GS.

Can 2 Sparrows track on the same target? Lob one high and a little early and follow up a little later.
@@andrewlau6466 one only for fox 1s like r27er and sparrows.

“He’s so close as defends down I’ll be able to push him and if he tries to recommit my Fox-2 will ge-OH SH-“
*BOOM, Killed in Action*
"Oh sh.." famous last words
Day 23 of asking for a nighttime dogfight
I'm pretty sure one of the Bandit Unknown videos was at night.
That was sick.
F/A-18E/F vs F-35C (Fox-2 fight) would be epic to see! Navy vs Navy : Old vs New
Day 125
Like the video. When he fired this rocket? Is he somehow figured out your plan and fired just when your SAM engaged? Or is the rocket you thought you defeated?
Ouch! Still, you did a fantastic job all the way till the end, hat's off. I wouldn't have lasted 30 seconds in this scenario.
You know he's saying " GOT YOU SUCKA!!!!"
Looks like he had a plan too.
"I'll just mad-dog a Fox-2 in his general direction in case he tries the same shit twice.... Oh, would you look at that. Lucky me, I guess".
