Greetings from Ukraine. A couple of years ago, you shot a video with an F-16 in Ukraine. It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you. Now the F-16 is a reality in Ukraine. Dreams come true. I hope there will be more videos with actual livery, equipment and weapons. There are a lot of people on this channel who know a lot about aviation. It would be great to know in detail what we have now and what it can do in the game. Recently, a Ukrainian Su-27 pilot gave an interview in which he said that Russian pilots are extremely careful, but regularly make mistakes: he was flying a mission and a Russian pilot flew 10 km away from the front at an altitude of 8,000 meters to launch a R-37 missile. For the record, the Ukrainian pilot was also farther away from the front, so the distance between them was more than 10 km. The Ukrainian pilot said that he simply did not have the technical ability to respond. And that the AMRAAM missile could have shot down the Russian. Maybe you can model this or some other situation with the capabilities of the F-16. It would be interesting.
Don't hold your breath for these scenarios. The F16's will most likely be used from Romania and used as another "Anti Air" defense, to shoot down their hypersonic missiles.
@@zi0 According to his RUclips subscriptions, he is a Russian. Don't pay attention. P.S. Hypersonic missiles to be shot down by an airplane? Wow! I don't know much about aviation, but... wow! Even I realize that this is absurd.
The irony of the star of David symbol for weapon shoot cue on the F-15. I know symbology has limited options on things to put on a HUD, but still... lol
From what I've heard/seen it was an inside job, a bomb had been planted in advance of his arrival and when they were sure he was in his apartment, BOOM.
the OTH might be able to see something is there but a fast moving F35 that is not going in a straight line is going to give a huge amount of error for pinpointing where it is. That doesn't include the chance they are flying low either. They are only really useful for early warning and maybe pointing in a possible place for other radars to look. Given the are huge and stationary they are juicy first strike targets. F-35s would be used in conjunction with long range jamming.
F35 can do its own jamming via it's radar and standalone EW suite barracuda. And if there's a few working together they really don't need any outside jamming help.
My first thought was that blade hellfire thing, but then they’ve said it was a long term explosive that was detonated when they knew the leader was there…
Israel are claiming they rigged three rooms with explosives 3 months in advance and waited until a VIP stayed in the building. Iran are claiming it was an RPG.
I recently saw a RUclips video about the A-16 falcon. An f16 that had two 7.62 mini guns on wing pylons and a Gau -8 on a centerline pylon. It was an idea to replace the A-10. You guys should test it out somehow. Seems like something right up your alley...Cheers
Loooong time GR viewer here, thanks for another exciting scenario. Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed seeing you guys grow up, gel as a team and improve your airmanship, tactics, etc. You manage to strike the perfect balance for entertainment, without going all milsim, with enough "realism" and professional flying, and without taking yourselves too seriously. Thank you.
Really no reason to carry external fuel tanks on an F-35. The plane carries more fuel internally than an F-15 does with full internal tanks AND full drop tanks.
@@PotatoeJoe69 The reason to carry more fuel is to be able to fly further, faster, or longer. It doesn't matter how much the internal tanks on the F-35 can carry, you can still burn all of that fuel in minutes if you go fast enough or are going evasive, and the current maximum combat radius is still a limitation for many operations.
Any American missles in Iranian inventory can’t be functional…we’re talking 45 year old with no parts or maintenance. Same with the tomcats they might get them airborne but no way they are combat effective
@@grimreapers I’m sure but the hawk was top of the line in 1959… not sure how much re-engineering you can do…funny side note they actually found 2 of them in a guys garage in the Florida keys recently. They had apparently just been left behind an old aa site near key west naval air station and this guy found them sometime in the 70’s. Thought they were neat so he brought them home and would occasionally use them as holiday decorations. When he passed away his wife put them up for sale on a yard sale group lol.
@@streetcop157 They did make some indigenous Fox-3 copy of the AIM-54 called the Fakour-90, as well as a semi-active copy of the MIM-23 HAWK called the Sedjil. Funny enough, a couple of days after the assasination Gaijin announced an IRIAF F-14 event for War Thunder :)
Nifty teamwork on this valued mission. Nicely done! Are the Grim Reapers going to run more re-enactments on the new Afghan map, or is there a potential issue of names and places causing videos to be demonetized? I heard that the early Afghan air-force had bi-planes. Might there be a bi-plane mission to save the valued interwebs? 🛩
So Israel did actually fly a pair of F-35Is directly over Terhan in 2018 as a show of force, the Iranians had no idea they were there until they were spotted over Terhan. As for the actual assassination, it was revealed last week that it was a bomb planted by sleeper agents in the guys house.
I’m confused as to how Iran would know the af-35 was in the area to begin with. The F-35 is VLO is x-band as well as traditional fire control band. Doubtful they would even get a sniff
Certain radars can track the effects an F-35 have on the atmosphere around it, rather than the jet itself. That way, they can know roughly where it's coming from, but not fire at it.
Even if such a thing exists…I doubt it exists in Iran. Not to mention, as with low frequency radars, you have to point it where you think the enemy is. So you have to know it’s there already.
@mikeck4609 Any decently-advanced weather radar can do that. You just have them spinning around or use multiple pointed in each direction. Also, an F-35 would have to expose its non-stealthy rear if it flew deep into Iran, meaning it could be seen even by narrow-band radars.
The NY Times is stating it was a smuggled explosive device hidden months ago in a guesthouse in Tehran, then exploded when Haniyeh was visiting for the inauguration. Mossad run a scary long game.
it was most probably 2 covert teams with a modified (HE Warhead) AT-missile system like Spike Tamusz 4 or 5, which has a Range of up to 30km (around 20 miles) according to wikipedia. So one Team can start it from outside City-limits while another team iluminates the target. Mossad is known to have excellent infiltrators.
It was a b0mb planted in the Hamas guys house by agents. Also Iranian bots are invading this comment thread, I got a comment strike for using the b0mb word
+GrimReapersAtomic *Don't forget the USA-supplied Grumman F-14AM (SerNos H01/H79) fighter interceptors!* Their AWG-9's are tuned for the IAC Fakour-90, an improvement on the Hughes AIM-54A(IR) bomber intercept missiles, plus an AIM-23 variant of the MIM-23 intermediate-range SAM. Frustratingly, the WSO would have to pin STT on the Lockheed Martin / Israel Aircraft Industries F-35I, which probably packs the Flight Refuelling Ltd.-compatible (NATO STANAG) retractable fuel probe consistent wi' the F-35A Export model.
I am sort of surprised they have not built a stealth aircraft configured with engines for low altitude... I say that because there will be advances in offensive technology followed by advances in defensive technology. Sort of like that massive radar array we saw today. Good sim...
Enjoyable, thanks! My view: they wouldn't/didn't use an F-35 for this. The propaganda/technology value to Iran (and allies, and China) of a downed/disabled/identified F-35 in Iranian space would be way too high... And the logistical challenge is a nightmare. You have to assume what can go wrong, will go wrong. Instead, Israel have probably attacked the target via missile, illuminated and launched by small on-site teams. Possibly Iranians, trained and armed by Israel.
@@classifiedveteran9879 not long after Israel first got there f35, they flew it deep into Iran, around sensitive nuclear sights, took pictures ECT, when it was revealed that it happened, Iran removed the person that was in charge of protecting irans airspace, a few years later when Israel was hiting targets all over Syria, Iranian target, Iran was angry with Russia because somehow Israel was able to to operate, unmolested where ever thet wanted, without impunity, they thought Russia told Israel how to get around those Sam's they sold to both nations, or let then hack into and turn the sams off. Even the 4th gen was not worrying about the sams... But I think if I remember right, Israeli aircraft was identifying as American so they wouldn't get shot down? Or they just knew how to get around it...but recently a few months ago when iran launched those drones and missiles at Israel, Saudi Arabia came forward and said Israel has been flying f35 into Iran many many times that month alone. They didn't want any retaliation attacks from Israel, coming from their airspace. Israel was also given a special privilege, they are aloud to improve on their f35s. So who knows how much better they made it. Ukraine has had some success dealing with those s400. If they can do that, then Israel shouldn't have much trouble.
now we have more info on the attack on the port in yemen can you guys try to simulate it? it seemed to be a 4th gen + 5th gen in about a 2000km distance mission. 35s only did EW on the radars so it will still be okay to sim, the 15s did all the bombing as far as we know
I've always wondered... in your video, and depicted top gun maverick, sams dont tend to attack incoming missles, such as the tomahawks in the movie, or the bomb in your bombs, yet in other shows you showed missle defense systems attacking missles/bombs... so when do they (sams) defend and when do they not?
hey Cap!! awesome video! can i ask, how are you still running mods on FC4? do you have a downgraded version of dcs. throw me a bone bruh im trying to figure this out, been working joe from Gd trying to find some solutions to the FM issues in FC4
one of my big wuestions about iran and the f-14's is how could those old air frames still be in working order??? they have to be barely working death traps
Cap, is it possible for you to let us know how you research and build these missions? You constantly come up with some great missions and I am sure others would like to know a few 'secrets of you mission building skills.' How long did it take for you to build this mission for example. That would make a good video too. Ppppppppplease?
Sure but TBH all I do is read the relevant article from The WarZone (my preferred outlet) to get the rough data I need, then check out each unit in Wikipedia for ranges etc, then it's just a case of plotting things out on the units in game. Each mission takes appox 1-16 hours to build depending on complexity and 1-2 hours to run with the boys.
Normally, NCIS would want to discuss this with you, but Mossad has entered the chat. LOL. Just want to chat with you over some tea... Which they will use to waterboard you later.
23:40 "The F-35 has been spotted" - Hamas leader leaves his hideout... which begs the question: "Has the F-35 really ever been spotted???" Or, perhaps it was spotted but was never identified... It's great if you can spot stealth nearly 200 miles away but it's almost pointless if you cannot identify it as either "friendly" or potentially "hostile" and then decide to just "do nothing". I think, If they did see something on their long range radar, they never bothered to scramble any fighters because they just did not know what it was that they where looking at and did not think for one second that any hostile would be flying alone, so deep, into their air space. Plus scrambling fighters is expensive and if it turned out that they scrambled fighters for no reason, their necks would be on the line. So, rather do nothing, for as long the object cannot be confirmed as "Hostile". But they have surely learned their lesson and will not be so complacent again... (one would think).
Of course, in reality the F-35 would also be carrying air-to-air missiles and those F-14's would be toast. It doesn't have to outrun them. It's probably still more maneuverable and its high off boresight missiles would wreck them. But going with the stipulation that they weren't allowed to shoot down any Iranian aircraft to avoid an al out war, that makes it a lot more difficult.
I'm not sure what to make of this in mission the F35 was never detected no planes were scrambled it flew into Iranian air space and delivered it's payload and turned around The s400's never saw it either.
@@artarezaei8720 There's been multiple articles written on it, including independent sources. RUclips is being a butt about links, but its easily verifiable.
there are israeli missiles with long ranges but the explosion would be probably bigger i think both launching from air and from sea, at least the ones i know of wouldn't just destroy his room although they used a standoff munition to destroy the radar of a S200 on the last attack and the explosion wasnt big at all (so probably a harop or harpy? launching from air) people claim it was a planted bomb, but since the S200 they showed deep iran can be reached with standoff without needing to fight anti-air (like the other way around) anyway. maybe we'll know in a few months, someone might spill the beans!
I was thinking.. USA lack a 6th gen fighter, they also lack a 6th gen missile. But what if... They pyt a AIM-174 into a B-21 bomber and use that as a fighter. To my calculation they should fit 8 AIM-174 in the internal bay of the B-21 and still retain full stealth. yes, the B21 is not supersonic. But on the other hand the stealth is so much better than the F22 and F35 that i really doubt it matter. Yes, the B21 lack air to air radar. But does it really matter. They probobly would use the radar from a secondary aircraft anyway. I would also say that a lot of Air to air missiles probobly have a to small of a load to take a B21 down that is a robust and quite large aircraft, also twin engined, so it need a quite considerable hit to take it out. On top of that, IR tracking missile would have a really hard time locking on a B21, and so would a radar guided one. Probably the only type that even could lock would be a radio guided missile. This kind of make it complicated for the enemy becasue then they need a radar lock from a flying radar that probobly is pretty far away, on a B21 that is really hard to even spot
You know this video reminded me that in '91, Iraq sent a lot of its Airforce to Iran. Which, Iran of course kept and sent the pilots back thanking Saddam for the donation. Some of those aircraft still in service with Iran, or broken up for spare parts to keep other platforms going. I wonder what would have happened if a day before Desert Storm kicked off with the air campaign, if Iraq had (somehow) managed to mass and then launch a massive air attack, expending the air force instead on a mostly one-way trip to try and reach the allied airfields in Iraq and destroy as many of the allied aircraft on the ground as they could, especially the Nighthawks. I mean I think it would have been utterly impossible as the allied air forces had a considerable standing CAP with multiple AWACS and several independent carrier groups in the Gulf, but it might have actually done genuine damage to the strike aircraft squadrons on the ground...
Would be interesting to see effect of US new capability of having PAC 3 patriot in mk41 vls on Arleigh Burke destroyers. 4 PAC 3 per VLS tube. Link below for more info ruclips.net/video/Vl007j4_IVk/видео.htmlsi=iLV0XHHmSg0i4Utn
I would love to know how Iran keeps such old aircraft, such as the Tomcat Flying as far as spare parts are concerned Considering, I doubt the United States is selling those parts to Iran. Then again, we have Biden in the White House.
Between its own IRST and datalink being a step above everything else and the fact that IRST ranges are generally quite a bit shorter than radar and usually don't give range information w/o triangulation/lasing (which the F-35 can passively track), it's not going to be as much a problem for the F-35 as it is the other guy because their options being limited makes then tactically and strategically predictable.
@@forzaelite1248 Yea...just thinking...Russia claims to be able to track stealth. It's actually theoretically VERY possible with LF radar or IRST or a combination of both ...especially with data link and advanced signal processing to triangulate returns. An additional factor...going forward, all the major players are probably also likely to attempt to use drones to employ advanced signal jamming to try to limit the range and effectiveness of data link over specific theaters of interest.
how to get the f35 there? saudi arabia wouldnt let an american made fighter land at a us airbase on its territory and take off for destination unknown of course, but... an unmarked F35 is just another us aircraft.
Saudi Arabia is not an ally of Iran; they are rivals. Saudi Arabia is Sunni, but Iran is Shia. Saudi Arabia is fighting the Houthis in Yemen that are supported by Iran.

Day 20 of asking Cap to bring humans back to carrier battles
It’s not realistic for it to happen, I agree it’s more fun but less realistic for the simulation and harder to run the missions in MP
I think they need to book time at CERN IT before they try that.
How much does supercomputer time cost these days? He should use that as a selling point for his Patreon lol. @@varjen018
He’s stated that he would like to but, their mods break in multiplayer
Cap has said many times why he won't do it. If you don't put attention to him, why would he put attention to you????
You forgot about Jewish Space Lasers.
Nice one, Marjorie Taylor Greene! 😂
one of my big wuestions about iran and the f-14's is how could those old air frames still be in working order??? they have to be barely working death traps
In reality I suspect very little of their tech actually works in those planes these days.
The first item on my F15E checklist is disabled the LAW. That is the most annoying feature of that module.
yarp
Is the F15E still worth buying? I only ask because ik it isn't getting updates anymore right?
Cap, is it possible for you to let us know how you research and build these missions? You constantly come up with some great missions and I am sure others would like to know a few 'secrets of you mission building skills.' How long did it take for you to build this mission for example. That would make a good video too. Ppppppppplease?
Sure but TBH all I do is read the relevant article from The WarZone (my preferred outlet) to get the rough data I need, then check out each unit in Wikipedia for ranges etc, then it's just a case of plotting things out on the units in game. Each mission takes appox 1-16 hours to build depending on complexity and 1-2 hours to run with the boys.
@@grimreapers Wow, 1 to 16 hours! Kudos to you and all your GS 'helpers.' For the Valued Viewers.
can you do the sim of the su-34 barely surviving a patriot missile over Ukraine with the new audio coming out
I saw the vid but problem is I don't know any of the real vectors etc so it would all would just be guess work.
Normally, NCIS would want to discuss this with you, but Mossad has entered the chat. LOL. Just want to chat with you over some tea... Which they will use to waterboard you later.
They didn’t use aircraft but still a good idea
23:40 "The F-35 has been spotted" - Hamas leader leaves his hideout... which begs the question: "Has the F-35 really ever been spotted???" Or, perhaps it was spotted but was never identified... It's great if you can spot stealth nearly 200 miles away but it's almost pointless if you cannot identify it as either "friendly" or potentially "hostile" and then decide to just "do nothing".
I think, If they did see something on their long range radar, they never bothered to scramble any fighters because they just did not know what it was that they where looking at and did not think for one second that any hostile would be flying alone, so deep, into their air space. Plus scrambling fighters is expensive and if it turned out that they scrambled fighters for no reason, their necks would be on the line. So, rather do nothing, for as long the object cannot be confirmed as "Hostile".
But they have surely learned their lesson and will not be so complacent again... (one would think).
Of course, in reality the F-35 would also be carrying air-to-air missiles and those F-14's would be toast. It doesn't have to outrun them. It's probably still more maneuverable and its high off boresight missiles would wreck them. But going with the stipulation that they weren't allowed to shoot down any Iranian aircraft to avoid an al out war, that makes it a lot more difficult.
I think he tried to make the plane as light as possible for fuel reasons.
Any chance you could recreate the resupply of the French in the battle of dien bien phu?
I think an incorrect engagement tactic on Cap's part towards the migs
Yup, was not good.
Funny that Cap still thinks that Iran will get their order from Russia....
Even if they do, the Ukraine war has proved that S400 system is kind of shit.
Because they mostly do. Obviusly you do not have some ideas about the middle east powers and their puppets.
@@jackstheraptor2791 I was thinking mostly of the planes. I have serious doubts they are ever coming.
lol yes indeed.
As long as it’s not a predator drone
It wasn't a plane it was a team using atgm to hit the room from about 2km away.
Mossad got the bastard
you can really hear your voice being accelerated
Cap "Look at those F-16s hidden in that canyon . . ."
Er, no, Cap, I couldn't see them. They were hidden.
Wooo hoooo never been THIS early!!!
Me too.
Nobody cares. Grow up. 🙄
@@pike100 can I not comment for the algorithm on videos from creators I enjoy? Remove the stick from your ass, sir.
Ladies and gentlemen they got him :)
What you really mean is when will Iran finally detect the f35's infiltrating their airspace 😆
I'm not sure what to make of this in mission the F35 was never detected no planes were scrambled it flew into Iranian air space and delivered it's payload and turned around The s400's never saw it either.
I'm immediately reminded of the "I think you should just go home" story from the USA/Iran
Is there even any proof that happened
@@artarezaei8720they stopped bothering the drones afterward. Wonder why.
@@morganlambley8655 Wonder where the proof is
@@morganlambley8655 The proof that even happened?
@@artarezaei8720 There's been multiple articles written on it, including independent sources. RUclips is being a butt about links, but its easily verifiable.
Petition to make Pooosh the new Bitchin’ Betty voice
lol I might fall asleep during the emergency hahahah
puuuulllll uuuuoppppp....
AD200 in the Bavar373
But in export name
What if they used a modified Aim 174 or an Israeli equivalent?
there are israeli missiles with long ranges but the explosion would be probably bigger i think
both launching from air and from sea, at least the ones i know of wouldn't just destroy his room
although they used a standoff munition to destroy the radar of a S200 on the last attack and the explosion wasnt big at all (so probably a harop or harpy? launching from air)
people claim it was a planted bomb, but since the S200 they showed deep iran can be reached with standoff without needing to fight anti-air (like the other way around) anyway. maybe we'll know in a few months, someone might spill the beans!
Israeli equivalent? Like rocks? LMAO
@@ariaspes3842cope harder😂😂
@@Wyomingchief What is there to cope with a deserthole that's like a stoneage village in Iran? LMAO
Could a raptor do it? I know Israel doesn’t have raptors. But let’s see
Ingress detection would likely be the same BUT it would stand a much better chance at getting out due to it's speed I suspect.
What sim do they use for these?
DCS
wouldnt iran have jets patrolling in the air already
I was thinking.. USA lack a 6th gen fighter, they also lack a 6th gen missile. But what if...
They pyt a AIM-174 into a B-21 bomber and use that as a fighter. To my calculation they should fit 8 AIM-174 in the internal bay of the B-21 and still retain full stealth.
yes, the B21 is not supersonic. But on the other hand the stealth is so much better than the F22 and F35 that i really doubt it matter.
Yes, the B21 lack air to air radar. But does it really matter. They probobly would use the radar from a secondary aircraft anyway.
I would also say that a lot of Air to air missiles probobly have a to small of a load to take a B21 down that is a robust and quite large aircraft, also twin engined, so it need a quite considerable hit to take it out.
On top of that, IR tracking missile would have a really hard time locking on a B21, and so would a radar guided one. Probably the only type that even could lock would be a radio guided missile. This kind of make it complicated for the enemy becasue then they need a radar lock from a flying radar that probobly is pretty far away, on a B21 that is really hard to even spot
This is a monumentally dumb idea, but at least it's funny 🤣
@@shadowkiller5520 how is it dumb?
Cap... terrain following radar + AP?
It likely already has.....
now where can Ukraine get an F-35 from?
It was a small bomb placed by spy
You know this video reminded me that in '91, Iraq sent a lot of its Airforce to Iran. Which, Iran of course kept and sent the pilots back thanking Saddam for the donation. Some of those aircraft still in service with Iran, or broken up for spare parts to keep other platforms going.
I wonder what would have happened if a day before Desert Storm kicked off with the air campaign, if Iraq had (somehow) managed to mass and then launch a massive air attack, expending the air force instead on a mostly one-way trip to try and reach the allied airfields in Iraq and destroy as many of the allied aircraft on the ground as they could, especially the Nighthawks.
I mean I think it would have been utterly impossible as the allied air forces had a considerable standing CAP with multiple AWACS and several independent carrier groups in the Gulf, but it might have actually done genuine damage to the strike aircraft squadrons on the ground...
If they can't track you by radar and only visually you should hide in the clouds as long as possible to get past them.
noh! you will leave a con trail..
Or do it at night?
so, the target was moved to a military base, rotated 90 degrees and dont have the same defenses? good thing this isnt a game hahaaha
Would the planes have enough fuel to get back to Israel?
I suspect the F-35's range, stealth capabilities, and flight ceiling have been downplayed. I also suspect internal fuel pods are available.
Israel upgraded their f35 so the plan can fly longer than normal f35
@@classifiedveteran9879INTERNAL fuel pods? I doubt that those are available.
@@pike100 I personally wouldn't be surprised.
Wow
I'm sorry I didnt really understand this time. Why the escort? Why no missiles launched from the air defense?
The F-35i? Sure! Thats the invisible F-35 variant.
Not only israel can do it without losing planes, israel could do it without planes at all
They probably used a drone, if the F-35 isn't capable.
In reality, the Iranian radar may not work as well as advertised.
@@grimreapers true
See. This one was way better. You stop the simulation to talk way less. This is better 👍
Yes
Would be interesting to see effect of US new capability of having PAC 3 patriot in mk41 vls on Arleigh Burke destroyers. 4 PAC 3 per VLS tube.

I would love to know how Iran keeps such old aircraft, such as the Tomcat Flying as far as spare parts are concerned Considering, I doubt the United States is selling those parts to Iran. Then again, we have Biden in the White House.
In reality I doubt many are air-worthy.
🎉
yes the reality is that israel can shot air balistic missles 2000km away if needed so range not really matters
F35I*
Fat Amy isn't invisible. Data linked IRST would probably be a problem.
Between its own IRST and datalink being a step above everything else and the fact that IRST ranges are generally quite a bit shorter than radar and usually don't give range information w/o triangulation/lasing (which the F-35 can passively track), it's not going to be as much a problem for the F-35 as it is the other guy because their options being limited makes then tactically and strategically predictable.
@@forzaelite1248 Yea...just thinking...Russia claims to be able to track stealth. It's actually theoretically VERY possible with LF radar or IRST or a combination of both ...especially with data link and advanced signal processing to triangulate returns.
An additional factor...going forward, all the major players are probably also likely to attempt to use drones to employ advanced signal jamming to try to limit the range and effectiveness of data link over specific theaters of interest.
The fact you have to say it's a military base on a sim but in real life its all fair game says alot about big brother.
Oh you won't believe the de-$ problems I'm having with these vids at the moment!
@@grimreapers keep up the good work. The truth can hurt.
Very irate Iranian
Good hollywood movie with dsc :)) but it real not working....
GGz
I wanna play :/
how to get the f35 there? saudi arabia wouldnt let an american made fighter land at a us airbase on its territory and take off for destination unknown of course, but... an unmarked F35 is just another us aircraft.
Saudi Arabia is not an ally of Iran; they are rivals. Saudi Arabia is Sunni, but Iran is Shia. Saudi Arabia is fighting the Houthis in Yemen that are supported by Iran.
What the actual fuck
I thought Israel was saving the F-35 for the Gaza operation?
Whack-A-Mole AGM :)
lol
Shouldn't Simba have been flying the the F-4 for Iran seeing as he has basis for judgment on how accurate it is being a gammer. You know because Veterans that have actually flown F-4s in combat don't have basis to know how a real F-4 flys.
ah are you still moaning about your f-4 simulator time. move one brother. its not personal.
@@simba1113 Yea it is when all you gammers tell me I made shit over that garbage. Then YOU tell me I have no frame of reference when you are just a fucking gamer that never served. I don't have to like you. You are disrespectful to Veterans and I don't have to let that go. I mean who the fuck do you think you are?
Haven’t watched your stream in a long time it’s been pretty controversial, but I think you need to step it up and actually show some real shit
