    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.

      When you say it has an AMRAAM seeker, we should remember that the electronics and software were lifted from the 120-C, but the antenna has almost twice the diameter, so four times the area. As a result it will pick up four times as much of the energy reflected from a target - quite the boon when shooting at long range and against “stealthy” targets.

    It should be noted this missile has been rated for use on the Super Hornet, not sure if the legacy Hornet is rated to carry this weapon. Also the max range of the missile is well beyond the max radar range of the Super Hornet, so it actually relies on other platforms to acquire targets for it and pass that targeting data to the launch aircraft.

      Not quite unstoppable, as they can still be hit. Since Eagles aren't very stealthy (2.5 the RCS of a B1-b bomber) an old 4th Gen fighter could defeat a wall of Eagles forced to fly at tree-top level if the 4th Gen were firing at high speeds and from high altitudes downhill at the Eagles. This could be a scenario where the Eagles were under SAM threat and terrain masking. A Mig-31 firing the R-77M could successfully engage a wall of Eagles in such a scenario. It would still offer the Eagles the best chance of success, but they would still have to defend such a threat.

RiM-174 and AIM-174 are like modern artillery - they can fire on whatever *anyone* in the net can see, even if it isn't a "fire control quality" track... atvworst, they just have to get the missile close enough to the target so the (based on, but larger *and better than* , the AMRAAM seeker) missile sensor can find the target.

    SM-6 launches more like a ballistic missile, but unlike the Russian hypersonic, the SM-6 is actually maneuverable. I think the minimum range is going to be more tricky the max range.
    It’s going to be a crazy missile and with it being remade SM-6 the cost of development, the performance, and software are very mature.

      If you really want your mind blown...it can use Patriot PAC-3 radar and data link for guidance. So, the US Army could technically be getting air-to-air kills, using the Navy to deliver the missiles.
      F-18E/F/G could blind fire using Army radar to defend an Air Force base.

      Well, the parent missile (which has the same basic aerodynamics, aside from launch altitude and speed being higher, obviously) has the same warhead and guidance, and is a highly regarded weapon for surface to surface modes... won't sink a cruiser or the like, but can pick off fast moving and maneuvering surface targets like, say Iran uses. I'd even say its usefulnagainst small corvettes, and even larger ones if they are festooned with external ordnance like Soviet style missile attack boats.

    Using the AIM-174B in NIFC-CA (a BVR/OTH capability usable in a CEC network) mode will be interesting.
    NIFC-CA can make "synthetic" target locks that provide fire control quality tracks that are passed to the missile, without any actual fire control radar lock, by fusing multiple fuzzier "search" tracks into a position of high accuracy. Think of a Venn diagram in 3D, with the spheres being the "accuracy bubbles" of each radar track - get enough of them and the area where they all agree the target can be inside gets really small. You can literally shoot from "ATC" data... if you have enough data points.
    This, combined with high accuracy LPI radars on stealthy aircraft , and the fact that any weapons platform in a CEC network can fire on any target any other CEC sensor (or group of sensors in combination) can provide accurate enough data to get the missile to pitbull, and you really see where the US is going. And it works *better* with these 4th Gen fighters carrying the long range missiles while stealthier platforms or "surveillance" assets (none of which even need to be armed for the NIFC-CA shoot) bird dogging and designating the target... often without the target even realizing it is being "painted" (because it isn't being illuminated with fire control radars). The 4th Gen "missile truck" can stand back *behind* the 5th Gen "forward observers", and pump missiles in (because the launching platforms aren't actually guiding them directly and don't need to maintain their own locks).
