Happy New Year to you and your family mate. Hope you had or have a great one. Sorry, my one is over, lol. Now, all you need to do is the SU-30 verses the F-15EX. That will be a great fight, and hopefully Toxic can verse you.
Impressive the way GS can switch between standard and metric units seamlessly. I would definitely need a notebook for altitude/MARs, different missiles, ect.
In aviation metric and imperial is routinely used. In fact ICAO countries have clearly defined units of both metric and imperial for different situations. All pilots and air traffic controllers conform to the same standards. On top of that there is a book of standard phraseology associated with the use of differing units. Use outside of standard phraseology is forbidden. It is constantly being amended. The system works incredibly well.
In meters vs feet it's roughly a third. So 10000 meters is roughly 30000 ft. Miles vs kilometers it's 62 to 100 so it's roughly 3/5 . So 6 miles is a little less than 10 kilo meters. It's rough but close enough. Hope it helps
@@glenncooper3524 i'deed, but in aviation knots and nautical miles are used, equaling approximately 1.8 km. Rule of thumb is you multiply by 2 minus 10%.
Flanker is more comprable to a F-15, flanker is a true multi role aircraft where as the F-16 was built more so as a light strike fighter with multi role capability which explains the quite extensive size diffrence.
Great tactics by GS turning off Radar and situational awareness. F-16 wasn't aware it was a fox 2 so he didn't use flares. But really impressive from the Falcon, holding on for so long.
@@lonelywolf-v4fwell between an RWR and missile launch warning system you can determine it was pr wasnt a radar guided missile and you can chaff or flare accordingly. Ive also seen someone posted on one of these videos that chaff is almost useless against modern radar guided missiles so many pilots opt to carry more flares.
@@lonelywolf-v4f Su-57 is said to have something like this - it has an automatic missile defense system that blinds the IR trackers. Not sure about the others.
Happy new year GS! Thanks for all of your amazing content in 2023. I have literally watched your videos everyday and look forward to doing the same in 24! Have a good one man, love your work 🎉
Now I really want to see a rematch from the opposite side of the fight. This is really interesting on how the F-16 managed to get as much as to a merge.
Would love to see both sides of the battle at some point! Switching back from your coms to his coms in real time, seeing how both parties respond to the other's fighting.
I'd love to see videos where you both commit to the merge prior to the fight, so you engage BVR and but the moment you cross the MAR you just head to the merge and dogfight it out so we can see how the aircraft both perform under different circumstances.
If possible, can DCS allow for a 1 Vs 2 dogfight? I would love to see the hypermanouverability of an F22/ SU-30SM perform whilst outnumbered and under the pressure of multiple bandits in that situation
Hey GS!!! Please Bring back Tactical debrief.... Really a big plus yo know exactly what happened in these fights!! Amazing video thanks!! Happy New Year 2024 🎉
As GS mentioned once in his earlier videos, the trick when flying the flanker is to be sneaky. Using IRST in this situation is genius. F16 didn't have a chance.
Also consider f16 first flew in 1974 vs the su30 first model which was in 92 so the su30 is deff a newer aircraft by like almost 20 years ignoring upgrades.
@@GrowlingSidewinderyeah but it hardly seems fair to compare the very first F-16 flight with the SU-30 and not the SU-27, since they're both modernized versions very different in capabilities but with the same original airframe (apart from the tandem seat)
Happy new year GrowlingSidewinder, I've really enjoyed the contant you've been making for the past couple years and I hope you continue the amazing work😁😁😁😁
R-77M has a double booster but hes using R-77-1 in this video so no. Also the AMRAAM in this video does not have double booster but I'm sure the newer ones do @@shubhankarsingh2605
I wanna see GS on the other side of this coin trying to take down the SU-30 in the viper. It’s kinda scary to think such a technically old viper can put up such a good fight in BVR. Frankly, if GS didn’t adjust and he would’ve caught a fox 3 to the butt if his flanker more than once in this scrap. I love it, encore in the viper!!
I've been watching it for over two years now. When I see a map that is close to real combat? usually there is a deep-echelon defense on the ground with radars and surface-to-air missiles, not just airplanes. under these conditions, you will still think about where and how to cling to the ground in flight.
Happy new year. Thanks also for this video and the dog fight SU-30 vs F-22. Always interessting to hear the info about the Jets and technology that comes with this type of planes.
The AMRAAM-Ds would be the relevant thing here. The ability to just launch the missile and let the AWACS guide it in would be massive, especially when combined with the off-boresight launch capability. The Viper could just sit in a notch against the Flanker, let him come close in an attempt to get a lock, and then when it's in AMRAAM range the Viper could just launch, having never even turned on its own radar. At least that's the play I would go for.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Day 2: GS, we need to see you in the F-35A dogfighting (Fox-2s)! Love your vids bro keep up the great work! It is always a great day when you upload! 🇺🇸 👇
Great dogfight, the F16 when flown well can still pose a threat even to the latest generation of Russian aircraft. I thoroughly enjoyed this simulation.
Not everyting is modeled or modeled correctly. Almost Every fact GS is stating about the aircrafts could be followed up with "in dcs" (but I understand why that would be not as dramatic)
Happy New Year, dude. Great first video of 2024. Can't wait for more. What the hell are the 2 metal pulley looking things next to the canopy on that SU? If anyone knows. And that SU-30 looks magic.
@GrowlingSidewinder When you double tap him at 8:15, wouldnt there be a code in the missile where 1 is leading him and one trailing? the trailing missile will have MUCH less of a speed loss. also the early missile can provide data if you went cold, result: one missile leads and tehrefore really gets him, he cranks back and the fast, energy rich missile will take over... so he can only flee into one direction or: wont know and be killed
My first video of the new year 🔥🔥🔥🔥. 2024 gonna be the Year of the Su-30SM Flanker-H 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 looking forward to more Su-30 content!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Happ New Year everyone!!!! We making it through 2024 with this one!!!!
I was under the impression that the A-50 was only an AEW platform and not AEW&C like Sentry, it's why it has a C&C aircraft follow it around, it's sending data. I'll assume the C&C can transmit digital data and not just guide the aircraft manually for an intercept. No way to corroborate that info though, of course

Dude: YOU Need to fight against the F-22 ... Su-57 and ... of course ... against the Su-30sm.
Okay, now do it in reverse! You in the underdog. Considering how close that last Fox3 got to you, it should be good.
Day 90 of askinf for f35 vs su35
Impressive the way GS can switch between standard and metric units seamlessly. I would definitely need a notebook for altitude/MARs, different missiles, ect.
It’s certainly taken practice lol I can’t lie it’s been difficult.

Being Canadian helps. Most of us use a mix of metric and imperial as a day to day thing.
@@glenncooper3524 i'deed, but in aviation knots and nautical miles are used, equaling approximately 1.8 km. Rule of thumb is you multiply by 2 minus 10%.
Holy cow, i did NOT realize just HOW MUCH larger than an F16 a Flanker is. That's crazy.
They really mean it when they say they shaved off every ounce they could
Flanker is more comprable to a F-15, flanker is a true multi role aircraft where as the F-16 was built more so as a light strike fighter with multi role capability which explains the quite extensive size diffrence.
it's the size of B-17 Flying Fortress, look it up
F15 is like an mig 29 flanker is a bit like f14 size
Flanker is a really giant airframe.
Great tactics by GS turning off Radar and situational awareness. F-16 wasn't aware it was a fox 2 so he didn't use flares. But really impressive from the Falcon, holding on for so long.
Wonder if today's advanced fighters have an automatic system for recognizing the type of missile launched.

Great video, lads. Happy New Year!
If possible, can DCS allow for a 1 Vs 2 dogfight? I would love to see the hypermanouverability of an F22/ SU-30SM perform whilst outnumbered and under the pressure of multiple bandits in that situation
Its an open sandbox he can take on as many enemies as his pc can render
Thanks for all the fun and fights in "23" GS! Have a Happy New Year, and stay healthy and safe. Peace.
Happy New Year everybody! May the force be with you GS!
@GrowlingSidewinder This was a great ending to 2023. Wishing you and your subs a Happy New Year.
thank you very much, wishing you a great and successful new year as well, all the best, and thank you for your support.
I'd love to see a block 60 F-16 vs the Su-30SM.
Same outcome
Only the F-16V Block-72 would have a different outcome.
@@traviswalker8933Would it?
@@ObeyNoLies with the upgrades mentioned by LM, I think it would have a chance.
@@traviswalker8933that platform of F-16 has edge over su27 and su33/34 without a doubt. But with su30mki or su30SM the answer is no.
SU-30SM Flanker-H vs F15 STOL Dogfight next!! Both thrust vectoring!! Would be dope!! You have brought out the F15 STOL out for a while now!!
Day 1 of
I think the f15 just straight up loses that but could be interesting I guess
F15 STOL is a show plane its light better fight is su37 vs F15 STOL
I love how this su30 looks
The Suchoi Su-30 is one off the most BEAUTIFUL fighter jet off all time. 😍😍😍
Nice to see a modern Flanker in DCS World and I wish one day we could have a modern Flanker like the Su 30 or Su 35 with equal BVR capabilities :)
Hey GS!!! Please Bring back Tactical debrief.... Really a big plus yo know exactly what happened in these fights!!
Amazing video thanks!!
Happy New Year 2024 🎉
It's been 7 days since GS's last video...I hope all is well?
Missile flies over his nose, "yeah that was kind of close". Great video 😄
That Sukhoi is just beautiful, the Russians really know how to make an attractive aircraft...
So naturally if you are making it a BVR fight, your next one will be against the F-15.
It is my idea or it is Toxic getting really good from time to time?
He's a good DCS pilot, that can be seen in the dogfight videos.
@@traviswalker8933normally GS gives links to others. Where is TOXIC's? Or did I miss it above being NY eve? I wanna check out his videos too
@@Lew_in_Renton he doesn't have a RUclips channel.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GS!! Keep up the great work. I live binge watching this channel so much!
SU-37SM VS SU-57 dogfight🙌🙌🙌 would be a interesting high off bore-sight fight.
ill never get over how cool those cruciform fin missiles look
Would love to see Su-30SM Flanker-H vs Jas-39 Grippen
This is the first video I watched in 2024
My son told me about your channel and shared the link. Subscribed.
GS really be feeling a lil bit Mihaly reciently.
As GS mentioned once in his earlier videos, the trick when flying the flanker is to be sneaky. Using IRST in this situation is genius. F16 didn't have a chance.
Wish you a happy new year GS.
Thank you, wishing you a great and successful new year also. All the best.
The F-16 is an old plane technically, but so is the Su-30.
Ya but this the block 50/52 viper where are this is the SM su30.
Also consider f16 first flew in 1974 vs the su30 first model which was in 92 so the su30 is deff a newer aircraft by like almost 20 years ignoring upgrades.

Interesting video for New Year's Day. All the best in the coming new year, man.
A Tacview of this fight would be awesome!
Can you do a bandit unknown with the new flanker?
Intense fight! Loving the SU-30SM run.
dude.. that missile almost had you... quotes Fast and Furious 😂
It’s now been 5 days since this video has been posted and nothing since. Is GS grounded? Missing my daily GS vids.
Me too. I certainly hope everything is ok with him. Hopefully just on vacation.🤞🏻
Its pretty normal for people to take holiday around new year
Su30 vs Su57 Dogfight will be cool
Yeah, the Sukhoi probably has the better radar. But the Sukhoi RCS is so much more massive i wonder which aircraft actually gets lock earlier
the su30 sees the F-16 first.
@@GrowlingSidewinderbecause the f16c block 50 has a shitty radar sadly…
Happy new year GrowlingSidewinder, I've really enjoyed the contant you've been making for the past couple years and I hope you continue the amazing work😁😁😁😁

Happy New Year GS
Where are you at brother? You’ve been gone a while? we don’t care what it’s about. We just want to see you play.
New Su-30SM Flanker-H Vs NGAD. That would be a fight to see.
That flanker is a slick looking aircraft.
That missile definitely knew where it was.
I've been watching it for over two years now. When I see a map that is close to real combat? usually there is a deep-echelon defense on the ground with radars and surface-to-air missiles, not just airplanes. under these conditions, you will still think about where and how to cling to the ground in flight.
truly an interesting model, as is the visual interface with which information is transmitted to the pilot.
Both pilots spent a combined 12 million or so on long range missiles just to end up merged lol
hopefully we see the f15c vs su30 fight soon too
NGL, I was team Toxic for this video. Great video.
Happy new year. Thanks also for this video and the dog fight SU-30 vs F-22. Always interessting to hear the info about the Jets and technology that comes with this type of planes.
Happy new year keep up the amazing work
Would love to see the F-15E and Su-30 in a BVR fight, both loaded down with AMRAAMs. Should makes for an interesting fight
Cool. The Flanker pilot seems to have crazy eyes...
Yea Toxic is back. Great fight.
Still missing Shotgun though. The disrespect was real.
Happy new year to everybody and specially to you GS we are waiting for more Gerat videos from you this year also. Thanks
Would the upgraded Block 70/72 with the more advanced APG 83 radar & AMRAAM D3's with the better seekers have had a large effect on this encounter ?
i think it would make it fully the equal of SU30, if not better. 120D is a better missile than R77-1, if slightly
Don’t forget low observability. I’d imagine that weakens the effectiveness of TWS locks.
It would make it more competitive but not better
The AMRAAM-Ds would be the relevant thing here. The ability to just launch the missile and let the AWACS guide it in would be massive, especially when combined with the off-boresight launch capability.
The Viper could just sit in a notch against the Flanker, let him come close in an attempt to get a lock, and then when it's in AMRAAM range the Viper could just launch, having never even turned on its own radar. At least that's the play I would go for.

Great dogfight, the F16 when flown well can still pose a threat even to the latest generation of Russian aircraft. I thoroughly enjoyed this simulation.
This simulation doesnt take into account any of the air defenses on the ground on both sides in the conflict.
Not everyting is modeled or modeled correctly. Almost Every fact GS is stating about the aircrafts could be followed up with "in dcs" (but I understand why that would be not as dramatic)
The f-16 is constantly being modernized so I don't see how it's impressive for it to go against modern jets if it's also a modern jet?
eh, he was firing double taps and missiles out of range, i wouldnt be surprised if he redone this and beat the F-16 with half the missiles

Are the mirrors inside the cockpit flipped?
When your left wing is facing the sky the left mirror shows the ground and vice versa.
