    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.

    This was awesome drama! I was thinking it would be hard for you to outrun those Felons. The Su-57, as modelled in DCS, is a kinetic beast. I don't think anything else has quite the same thrust. I remember in one of your videos it was adversary, I think you were in an F-18, and it went vertical at the merge, accelerated through supersonic going straight up, then flipped over and used the vertical separation to position itself for a shot at a nearly-stalled out Hornet who just couldn't follow. Very powerful. I think it even edges the Raptor in power-to-weight, at least it seems that way in DCS.

      @@sety5591 That was one of the causes of delays for the F-35 program, since many early production models were made before the design was mature, and the need to modify the production line and already-made airframes led to significant delays and cost overruns. However, now that the design is basically mature, the F-35 is being produced and delivered at a rate of more than a dozen every month, literally more than the annual Su-57 production rate every single week.
      If Sukhoi were capable of delivering more airframes after so many years and billions of roubles in development costs they would be without question. There's no explanation for the situation as it is but corruption, or incapability, or more likely both.

Зачем в стране 404 нужны Mirage 2000? Чтобы отстаивать националистический, коррупционный режим, посылающий молодых ребят на убой ради мнимой независимости? Россия решает свои проблемы, возникшие из-за развала СССР и допущения нелегитимного гос.переворота в союзной стране, где в Крыму находился Черноморский Флот России. Это война Кремля против олигархов страны 404. Было бы мудрее остановить войну, а не продолжать эскалацию поставками западного вооружения. Но если таков выбор народов запада, продолжать накаливать обстановку до угрозы третьей мировой войны, то пожалуйста - ядерного оружия у наших стран хватит, чтобы испепелить всю планету. Надеюсь вам и вашим родным не придётся пережить то, что переживали люди в Донбассе с 2014 года. Желаю всего доброго.
