A gaming set up video would be awesome. I'd like to get into DCS but i'm not sure what sort of set up i need. If you could include keybinds and button mapping in the video that'd be fantastic information. Love the videos btw, keep em coming.
At 5:11 *What's the point of these useless escorts, how will an escort defend, it's just like infantry marching with tanks through an open area, and a suppressed sniper picks them off one by one followed by anti tank missile* Maybe your escort can fly ahead to clear stuff up but why fly in formation?
Raptor by itself in these fights is like getting to play the Movie Monster. Leaping out of the dark at groups of people on patrol and crunching them, before fading back into the shadows before anyone else can come along.
I swear, I would give you a hug with all these F-22 videos you've been pumping out! 9-0 (5 different aircraft types) and one ground target killed. Thanks for showing why the F-22 "The Silent Assassin" is king!
The stealth aspect is so satisfying to see in action. Most of the targets have no idea they're being engaged until they hear an explosion and see something important fall off their airplane.
Love the raptor content. But to truly challenge it you should collaborate with Hasard Lee. He flew F-16 and F-35 in Afghanistan and it would be cool if you did with him, what you did with the Rafael pilot. Anyways, love the content and have a great week!!
It's the latest in stealth technology. The new F-14s come with a black smoke dispenser, faux flame throwers to simulate a flaming engine, and a fly-by-remote system so that it allows the pilots to eject at an opportune moment, meanwhile still flying the aircraft to its real target. The opponent is meant to think that the aircraft is out of the fight, but it's actually continuing on its merry way to deliver a payload of death: either munitions if it still has them, or by crashing itself into the target. Unfortunately, since the raptor is also stealth but in a different way (it doesn't really exist in a conventional 3-dimensional space), the modified F-14 could not engage it after the pilots bailed so it just continued to fly aimlessly...
The Raptor is UNQUESTIONABLY the finest combat aircraft ever produced. I am not aware of any point in the history of aviation where this level of utter dominance has been even approached, much less achieved. The only fault with the F-22 is that we don't have 5000 of them.
@@durandilhe F22 didn't use stealth in a few of those simulations. The F22 is a beast. It has capabilities that are not even disclosed to our allies. It's 25+ years ahead of anyone
Why am I not surprised to see you here, Mr. Whittle? Hope you've been well! Haven't been able to follow you as closely as I did way back when TSL first started up, but I still try to catch what I can.
The f-15 is better in my opinion. But I love the f-22 as well. The cool thing about the f-22 is the stealth and it’s maneuverability! Can’t wait to see the raptor in action more but for now I’m gonna stick with the f-15
to be fair as its based on "publicly" available information! the real thing is most likely BETTER than what we see here. secondly i have the feeling the F-35 would be able to do this exact mission almost identical way (no heatseekers though, but you would have 2 F-35s for that job anyway)
@@Asghaad Well with so mainly enemy fighters in the air, I think the F-22 is more suitable for dealing with the air-threats. As you see in most of the F-22 videos, GS is not afraid to merge due to the F-22's superiority in both dogfights and BVR. The F-35 needs to be more cautious not to merge though while decent in a dogfight, it is not dominant like the F-22.
As a former maintainer that use to load F15s the thought of of seeing a jet that you just Bmanned and launched leaving EOR and getting shot down would leave me absolutely scared shitless 😂
I don’t know what to say about the things that I saw in the video but what i can tell you it’s absolutely mind blowing. the f22 raptor is just a overpowered aircraft no body can see it where it is and just before you know it destroys everything in its sight love the content keep uploading more f22 videos on your channel it’s absolutely amazing
Could you imagine being at the early warning system and looking up and seeing the Raptor that just slaughtered its way to it. To think that he may just fly on by. Only to see it do a reverse uno on them vertically.
except all this was was good utilization of ambush tactics with stealth advantage - F-35 can do exactly the same job secondly its highly unlikely either of those bases would be left unprotected by SAMs and there would be dozens of MANPADs to be taken into account - so no flyover the enemy airfield and no gunning the radar, it would have to be HARMed or bombed using JDAMs, trying to fly this close would end with getting Stingered to oblivion at minimum
Love how that F15 broke off formation, looked sick. Then died, looked sick, then 2 more, looked sick, then F14's died, looked sick. Awesome as usual man. Still waiting for you to do some videos in the F35. Show us how it can do similar missions. Fat Ammy is awesome.
Bro the fact that the F-14 was the toughest one outta the bunch was bonkers to me. It's dead yet STILL able to try and RTB.... You can LITERALLY still see it gliding as he gets the gun kill on the Early Warning System and as he himself is RTB to his own base.... LONG LIVE THE TOMCAT!!! LONG LIVE THE F-14!!!!
It's sad to see F-15 Eagles so outclassed. I remember watching them at Langley. They were so impressive! And never defeated until the F-22 came along...
US is good at naming their birds, Tomcat (Will tear itself apart to win), Eagle (Strikes hard, fast and far away), Viper (Deadly agile and deadly efficient) , and Raptor (Don’t Go into the Tall Grass!), all sharing characteristics with their animal personas.
Bro the F-22 is one of my favorites along with the F/A-18 Hornet and it’s just so crazy how the F-22 is so maneuverable thanks for posting more about this jet man love your stuff bro.
If they had broken up the original proposal into groups of 50 aircraft and spread that out over a longer time period, then I think the procurement would have gone smoother and would have given greater advantages to L-M and their suppliers to work out production issues with the components with each new group.
They just need to remodel it to help with it's maintenance issues and it would be good as new! Unfortunately they are too lazy to do that so they are just buying a bunch of F-35's
First I want to say how much I enjoy watching you doing these missions....im learning a lot from you 👍. Watching the Raptor in this video shows HOW AWSOME it is and I'm glad this beast of a fighter is on my side in this troubled world.... ( I live in England). Love watching you so keep doing what you do bro 👍👍
you gotta do one of these where you sneak all the way, destroy the objective and then fight your way out. Regardless, great content. Love seeing the Raptor dominate!
RIP to those dudes in the tent next to the radar that got splashed with 30mm. Love the content, originally came here after one of the edits about the F-22 sneaking up on you when you were in one of the Russian jets. Came here knowing very little about fighter aircraft, and the way you blend entertainment and bite size pieces of education in has been a great learning aid and made it very enjoyable to watch and learn about these magical pieces of tech. Thank you, GS!
I cringed when I saw that low pass over the air base. It's startling how F-22s sound like nothing at all until they pass you, and then all of a sudden they're LOUD.
You should try a similar f22 v NATO but with more of the European aircraft (Rafael, eurofighter, grippen, mirage) since they have newer and better radar/avionics and the meteor/irst
I think you should do F-22 vs F-22. Just to put to the test the theory that stealth on stealth combat will result in a dogfight, thus validating the need for dogfighting ability in a fighter.

*What's the point of these useless escorts, how will an escort defend, it's just like infantry marching with tanks through an open area, and a suppressed sniper picks them off one by one followed by anti tank missile*
Maybe your escort can fly ahead to clear stuff up but why fly in formation?
L39 vs aermacchi mb 339 fight of the subsonic, challenge of the energy state, even fox2 fight is possible
The one thing I notice from these videos is there is no finding an F-22, there is only being found *by* and F-22.
whats the purpose of flares?
Seems in the Raptor your biggest challenges are deciding Who Dies First and running out of missiles before you run out of targets.
That's what the F-15EX is supposed to be for so he can cue up missiles and save his own.

"Less than half of the F-22 Raptor fleet is combat ready."
Well apparently all we need is one.
Literally 😂, the raptor is way too OP.
Rumor has it the F-14 is still flying with its dual engine fire.
A SEAD operation with F-16s in a guarded airspace (SU-35, SU-30, etc.) + S-400 or S-300 would be nice.
Just imagine the desperation, firing so many mad-dog missiles hoping they'll see the F-22 your own radar can't.
That zombie F-14 might be the funniest thing I’ve seen on this channel yet.
