Just because people are not talking about the video. does not mean they're not paying attention. I do. I learn a lot. or will learn more by throwing different aircraft suggesting different aircraft. So, I can learn better. Just like other people.
Hey GS, I've been watching you for the last 7 years. I begin to miss the TacView after the fight. Yes, I know many of us stopped watching it years ago and I'm sure the analytics show it. But please bring the TacView back to 80 miles BVR fights like these at least some times. I'd like to geek out on speed differences between the missile types and I want to see where they travel and where they end up falling when each of you successfully defeat them.
Was thinking of the same thing. It is probably quite time consuming to do that, hence I assume he stopped doing that, but it would be really great to see those.
I think the first 3 needed more guidance. Test with adding an AWACS to help with guidance. AIM-174 is meant to be assisted by a big radar. I thinks it's seeker is for the las 10 - 20 miles
@@UnderTaker2OO3 they definitely dont have that feature even for mid course correction guidance for modern munitions let alone third party mid course correction
@@GrowlingSidewinder One wouldn't think that a ~15 inch larger (thiccer) munition would make that substantial of a difference in RCS but it's entirely possible.
I believe it's more about the shape instead of the size. A clean Super Hornet have RCS 5 times smaller than its actual size, disturb the shape a little bit and the RCS increase drastically
I know they are using the Super Hornet as a testbed for the AIM 174b, but wouldn't other aircraft be able to carry it eventually, assuming their wings have the structural stability? Maybe, like an F-15E with AIM 174s vs SU 57 with R-37s? That could be a neat matchup. I would say it would be a good idea for the 'Outmatched' series, but the F-15's radar is kind of a beast...
It’s not only the testbed, it’s the primary launch platform for the AIM-174B because there aren’t any other aircraft in their inventory with the ability to carry the AIM-174B. Integration with other aircraft from other services would take time, while integration with F-35C seems impossible at this moment due to its gigantic size.
GS, our country went into a total blackout and curfew due to a massacre carried out by the government, this video was one of the only video I could watch as it was smart downloaded by YT. Thank you man, please keep us in your prayers. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
With the legs on the AIM-174, the F-18E/F radar is underanging it. It is meant to be used with a datalink aircraft (specifically the F-35) to provide lock and the hornet to launch on that lock, not it's own. Could you put them in place of the AIM-54's on a F-14B with it's AUG-9 radar. It should have the range to take advantage of the AIM-174? I am not a DCS player, but love your videos.
@@snakeoo7ca His point is that the F/A-18 doesn't have a good enough radar to get the full use out of the missiles range, but since it has data link the F-18 can fire the missile based on guidance from the F-35 through their data link and using the F-35s superior radar.
I've always wondered why the US didn't seem so worried about our air-to-air missiles. You see russia, China, UK, and other countries creating long range and/or hypersonic AAMs. The moment that the US announced this, all my wonders were put to rest. I forgot that if these other countries have it, then the US already has it and isn't telling us about it.
Interesting how highly-reflective recent missile development is of late-50's future air power/combat predictions: Interceptors delivering long-range, high-speed armaments at BVR targets, versus close-quarters dogfights that require/involve guns.
Ok, is it only me that jump out sit when the missile hits like? I'm totally listening and focusing hard and then 🎉(hello). Awesome Job brother love your mini movies!!!!
The R-37M is basically Phoenix-sized: about 10% more weight (1120 lbs for R-37M, 1024 lbs for AIM-54C), same body diameter (15"), slightly longer (13 feet and change vs 12 feet and change), slightly smaller wingspan (28" vs 36"). I suspect it can only be mounted to certain stations on most of their aircraft. Much larger than the AIM-120D, which is a little shorter but much skinnier (7" diameter) and lighter (354 lbs). Of course, the AIM-174B at about 21" long, 13.5" wide and 1900 lbs is a behemoth.
@@Chuck_Hooksyea sm-6 is anti any thing. And with proper datalink tecnicaly the f 18 could shoot out of its radar rage with like an aegis or thaad handshake.
Because they can't model the multi-sensor datalink hand-off in DCS. Otherwise the missile actually has a 200-300NM range. Well beyond anything the Russians or Chinese have in development or in actual deployment.
@cassias456 Likely 200+ miles when launched from a fighter. No doubt the SOP will be for F-35s, much closer to the targets and with superior stealth and sensors, feeding target information to launched SM-6s to take advantage of the missiles' range.
Go to the bathroom and use earbuds hahaha. Or just save it as a post work relaxation nugget when you get home like I do. It's like saving the best for last.
Whoever does the model for SM-6 needs to keep in mind that the 3.5 mach listed speed is probably assuming that the missile is being fired from sea level and climbing to altitude (up to 110,000ft) to engage the target. If you even fired it horizontally, it’s probably going to go faster, never mind from an aircraft that may already be moving near mach or above, and at considerable altitude.
Another great video. Always enjoy BVR chess matches. Interesting to see how differences in missile velocity become more significant at longer ranges. BTW, what happened to that last fox3 from the flanker?
You mention being concerned about the wings ripping off due to the mass of the AIM-174B, that would mostly apply to missiles attached to the fuselage, not the wings. Missiles on the wings do not contribute to wing root load if pulling positive G's.
The peak speed of the SM-6 is listed as greater than Mach 3.5+, but if you use a rocket calculator, if the peak velocity is only Mach 3.5 at 135,000 feet on a 45° angle launch, then the maximum range is about 765,000 feet or roughly 144 miles. We know that the missile has mad an interception at 240 miles+ on an aerial target from a surface launch, so that requires that the peak velocity at 135,000 feet to be Mach 5.7. I think that it is important to remember the amount of copium from the Russian side.
If we want to talk real copium, In reality it's also important that to remember that russian pilots have far less yearly flight time than American pilots. So the US has more time training than Russians. So while some airframes from Russia are pretty capable, the pilots flying them might not be as capable. So the difficulty mentioned about fighting off the tracking of the SM-6 might be quite a bit harder than a lot could manage.
Ever since your first vid on the aim-174B I had this question in mind. What’s the difference between it and the aim-260 long range anti air missile practically speaking?
AIM-260 is for 200-300km range and will be carried by both F-35 and F-22. AIM-174B is for 400+km range similar to Raytheon's LREW and will be carried by 4th gen platforms. However since AIM-174B can also be used to strike maritime targets it may stay with the USN.
Would have been interesting to hear more about effective use of the SM-6 and your radar. I'm fairly sure by mid vid people grasped just how compact the R-37 is, girthy the SM-6 is, and the effect on your g-pull and wings.
Suggesting a video with the new Lockhead Martin “mako” hypersonic misleading that has been announced as moving through additional testing with multiple platforms.
Im curious the size difference between and SM6 and an AGM88. Was a munitions guy in the Air Force but got to work with the F14 and in 2003 the F14 was still using AIM7's. As an Air Force guy we learned about them but I had never seen one in person. We quickly took down their AIM7's and gave them a 120 varient that had not been disclosed at the time.
Don't ask me how but I just knew he will be shot in that mountain. I think that missile was defendable by sharper turn, heading more to the ground, but not with this payload under wings.
I would guess the AIM-174B would be carried on the F-18 in a similar load as the F-14 used with the Phoenix. Two AIM-174s, 2 AMRAAMs and 2 Aim-9Xs. The F-14 typically carried 2 Phoenix, 2 Sparrows and 2 Sidewinders. Two long range, 2 medium range, and 2 dogfight missiles.
I know we're seen the hornet equipped with these missiles, but can you do a vid with the EX and these AIM174Bs? PLEASE, cause im guessing they're working on that as well for both fronts
Depending on the modle used..(?) the SM-6 could have a very very powerful radar. It's the same 'brain' as an AMRAM but has four times the power output as it has a much larger array to transmit. So it will detect and lock on at much greater range.
I don’t know if you can pull it off in DCS but it would be cool if you could use the cooperative engagement capability to keep yourself safe from the R-37

What’s bulldog range on the Aim-174? Is your missile taking longer to reach target really a disadvantage? You might be able to get into a position where you’ve defeated your opponents missile while they’re still defensive from yours and use that to get into a better position.
If by "Bulldog" you mean the missiles on board seeker going active, that's called going "Pitbull" and the missile has the same seeker as the AIM-120D so probably 15-20mi-ish.

SM-6 without the booster section is actually about 2 inches less in diameter than the R-37M and about 2ft longer.
I believe the new Aimram 260 which also has a 200 mile range is a bit smaller than the 174

BVR fight: F/A-18 with AIM-174B vs. F-14C/D with AIM-54C. Sort of an OG vs. New Kid matchup. Make it happen.
Just out of curiosity are you still running the same PC setup in your description or have you upgraded?
no sir, no upgrades same specs as video description.
Not sure if possible but Ill throw it here, F-16 Block 30 bigmouth vs F-16 Block 50 in BFM
What’s bulldog range on the Aim-174? Is your missile taking longer to reach target really a disadvantage? You might be able to get into a position where you’ve defeated your opponents missile while they’re still defensive from yours and use that to get into a better position.
If by "Bulldog" you mean the missiles on board seeker going active, that's called going "Pitbull" and the missile has the same seeker as the AIM-120D so probably 15-20mi-ish.
@@pyro1047 That is exactly what I meant! Thanks for the correction and info!
I feel like ya cut us a bit short this time, leaving us at a tie between the Super Hornet and the Flanker. This ain’t soccer!
The Flanker is just chilling at a very high altitude, how is he easily defending your missiles?
By turning away which increases the travel distance for the missile so far that it cant keep up.
