Yeah, stealth only works from a distance. Once that perimeter is breached stealth is hindered. Even worse ship radar is stronger and with no structure and flat sea's the distance is even further. The whole idea of stealth is taking out threats before this perimeter is breached and never be seen. The F22 can handle this breach, the F35 not so much.
@@truthseeker9454 Just about! Though I'd be afraid bricks would be a little too un-aerodynamic and slow down too much before hitting the ground. Inert tungsten rods with fins would probably do pretty well, though.
Could you just imagine watching your AWACS start to take off but notice an F22 glide from the deck behind it and just gun it down. The amount of shock and terror that would happen
A50 are super easy to find, the plume of black smoke gives the crash site away immediately. Also, I am digging the green text and sound for the mission location info. :)
The way the F-22 just seems to casually lob missiles that track is almost scarier than its nose authority. As for the AWACS crew, I would just have bailed out on the runway.
Agreed! I was thinking if I was pilot of one of those MiG-31s and I saw a bumblebee approaching at near Mach 1, when my RWR lit up I'd hit the silk.... 😆
@@zacharyradford5552 hey now, F22 gets plenty done just by virtue of the fact it even exists. ... It definitely would be nice to see it in action, though.
Seems like an interesting doctrine. Multirole stealth aircraft causing confusion around a target while a hypersonic stealth aircraft carrying main payload towards target staying out of harms way.
Loving these more hypothetic, futuristic sci-fi scenarios, but I think this one is straining credibility a little bit. A new batch of Su-57s actually getting delivered? Really breaks my suspension of disbelief.
Russian media: "We did not lose. All losses were friendly fire." "Really? A radar site... a SAM site... an A-50... two MiG-31s... and four Su-57s on the ground...? All in about ten minutes?" "Da."
I love the F-22 so much, and she looks so beautiful in that capri sun skin. That mission was a rush. That AWACS crew; what a way to go... Rolled over just after takeoff and no chance to bail out. That was a nasty crash.
I remember an old Buck Rogers TV episode (yes, a long, LONG time ago) where the villain was a telekinetic and had jammed the controls of Rogers' starfighter while he zeroed in for the kill. Buck frantically calls for someone to distract the villain, and Rogers' wingman rolls in and vaporizes the villain's fighter. Distracted...neutralized...disabled ...yes.
I thought the same but honestly even if it had a modeled cockpit and everything it would basically just be him flying in a really high and fast straight line. Maybe with a slowdown, dip into atmosphere, and back up again. Cool in a sense but maybe not great for entertainment.
The glowing red hot metal of the Darkstars airframe looks so menacing. The sheer scare factor from that alone probably gave anyone lucky enough to see it chills...that is if they can even see it
@@teeanahera8949 That is true. But I think the only time the airframe is glowing red is when it's like 80 k feet in the air so I don't think Infrared Signature will pop up. Maybe it will but I don't think the enemy will notice them because the SR-72 is going to be used with another aircraft or some sort of diversion. IDK how it works exactly. just really high cruising height
Thumbs up, as always, for another enjoyable and interesting video, GS. Eagle Dynamics, at 15:15, gave that second-over SU-57 *AMAZING* stealth capability.
@@TheGamingMotionTGM I suppose that depends on when/where they meet, in atmosphere the F22 holds a high advantage due to mobility, but once the darkstar reaches cruise, you've got no hope of catching it at Mach 9.9 not to mention it'd be at such an altitude that the F22 would probably starve of oxygen before even getting close.
@@phantomflows0 Like the older counterpart, it relies on its speed. You could search for example, the 1986 escape from libyan missiles as blackbird leaves them behind.
Everything in this mission was awesome!!! The SR72 flying on the edge of the atmosphere glowing red hot, the unrestricted climb after take off, the crazy hard turn to defeat the russian missile, the B2 casually dropping his deadly payload, every each detail was just perfect 😙🤌 (KISS CHEF)
The casual conversation as he was coldly just murdering the first two flankers. "Those two fox 2's must've missed so sending a fox 3 - so anyways back to what I was talking about"
Ye, I don't think that SR-72 going nearly Mach 10 was terrain masking anything unless it tried really hard to escape earth atmosphere and hide behind the moon.
Darkstar come in? What is your ETA? Vader One here. ETA is 2 mikes to your loc. Roger Vader One. Say your fuel state and distance & bearing to commence your run? Vader One. Fuel state 99. Range 5000 at 180. Ah, say again Vader One? Vader One, range 3000. Roger Vader One. 3000 clicks! Repeat ETA? Vader One, repeat ETA 30 seconds, range 500, bearing now 330 weapons hot. Ah, Roger? Vader One. Cleared hot. Vader One, Roger now on exfil. Out. Vader One? WTF?
DCS needs to work some more on their engine. First GS used the F-22 almost as a speedboat and yet the water was not disturbed and then a truck went through the Su-57's wing like a ghost.
It's hard to decide which is more far fetched... an SR-72 delivering a cruise missile strike or the Russians delivering a squadron of functional SU-57's. I think I'll call both things equally unlikely.
The f 22 is a scary fighter just imagine the real capabilities of it that’s classified, I guarantee it’s wicked especially since they aren’t allowed for export lol
"AWACS 1 tower, cleared for take off" "Errm tower this is AWACS 1, negative I have some kind of eerrr.... fault? Request clearence to taxi back to ramp"
Really loving these new green captions specifying what's going on and the location of each plane GS! Really gives it that "Campaign mission" like vibe to the video! Also how on earth is the darkstar able to cruise at mach 9.9 on the moon? And why is it as big as the moon? LOL.

Location - Classified because its so fast their own people don't know where it is. lol
So fast it falls in Heinsberg Principle: can't tell it's velocity and position at the same time.
Location: That way!
@@mehmet9689It was a joke. Don't take everything so literally.
Terrain masking? What geography can it possibly be utilizing at mach 9+... Earth?
@@hihihi229able Behind the Van Allen belt....
Darkstar entering atmosphere to shoot missiles
💀☠
Yeah, why cruise missiles? Just lob rocket-powered air-to-ground missiles at full speed and altitude! Massive range!
@@SwordOfApollo At that speed they could just dump a load of bricks and saturate an area! 😆
@@truthseeker9454 Just about! Though I'd be afraid bricks would be a little too un-aerodynamic and slow down too much before hitting the ground. Inert tungsten rods with fins would probably do pretty well, though.

Yea or it's just starting its rollout and an f22 cruises by perpendicular and starts that looooong tuuuurn🫣
yeah that was actually pretty brutal. Crew never had a chance to escape.
"Maybe my stealth is just that good?....." - Held my breath waiting for the surprise R-77 M...
Same.
Waiting for that famous jump scare 😂😂
@@mikewebber4784 GS gave that to the Russian AWACS pilot this time. 😁
😅 Those famous last words 😂
" Oh look.,The P38s are trying to climb and @#!* "
F22 is just built different
That was like 5 decades worth of Su-57 production blown up there.
5 decades' worth across 4 multiverses.
Cope
Always gotta pick on the AWACS. "I'm up, they see me, I'm down."
Non Army grunt veterans won't get your reference 😅
@@Golgi-Gyges False. We marines are equally familiar with that reference, hahaha!
@@Mastashad160 well, combat arms veteran then.
The control tower should've told them to abandon ship before they ever took off.
“I’m up, they see me, I’m down, rollover!”
No way Gaijin sponsored DCS video
It's not the first time they've done this. I hope they take some inspiration from dcs

"Is he turning? He's turning...ah $**!!!! Punch it! Really? Punch it? We're basically in a Winnebago with wings."
I can't say how many times I have mistaken a bit of dirty on my screen for a hostile aircraft.
My daughter: "Dad, what kind of paint job is that?" Me: "On the DarkStar? It's called Friction"
😂
Darkstar Terrain masking... just hoping his radar signature blends in with the ISS?
Less "terrain masking" and more "Earth curvature masking."
"What terrain?"
"Europe. All of it. Plus a bunch of the Atlantic."
More like "tectonic plate masking," really.
That taxiway full of F22’s, A10’s and B1’s was awesome.
It can't be said enough, how beautiful the F22 is.
Aircraft are one of the few things where "beauty" and practicality go hand in hand.
@@drksideofthewal oh I love that. Wonderfully said.

Probably slices through air so well that it creates a vacuum that can't carry heat 👍
Probably, at Mach 9.6 it is uncatchable.
@@szarmywarmy Not the way IR works...😊
@@logicplague Oh yeah.
It goes fast enough to make a black hole.

Tbf, the A-50 could probably be argued as a bird strike accident, but everything else? Nah.
@@Eis_ The Su-57s heroically intercepted the cruise missiles while sacrificing themselves.
So what is the ace requirement #? 50? 100 kills?

Using an AIM-120 to take out an enemy IAD radar system is the stuff of legends! Bravo, my man.

Crazy the Raptor is basically running late 90s early 00s tech and nothing really come close to it
It has been upgraded and new avionics and radar system
OK, you got me with terrain masking. Behind the moon. Perfect. Bravo.
Took way too long to realize that was plasma build up on the Darkstar. I thought it was just a sick ass paint job.
We need you flying the darkstar next vid
Not modeled

I've had UPS toss my deliveries farther than your AMRAAM traveled to that radar dome. Super casual point blank. Good stuff.
It's kinda cute seeing the Sidewinder flare against flankers
That SR-72 Darkstar is terrifying
The F-22 is basically a cheat code, and I love it!
Circling like a shark and then lighting up that AWACS was crazy. I can't imagine the air traffic controller there would have tried to send them up!
The casual conversation as he was coldly just murdering the first two flankers. "Those two fox 2's must've missed so sending a fox 3 - so anyways back to what I was talking about"
GS was trying to fish with his wingtips.
The battlefield theme music was a beautiful touch at the end.
Whoa... ! A whole nest of Raptors. Sweet !
That attack on the radar site... turning the F22 into a Stuka divebomber!

Fun fact: China literally changed certain satellite orbits when they spotted the Dsrkstar prop being used for Top Gun
That AWACS kill was just disrespectful 😂
Ye, I don't think that SR-72 going nearly Mach 10 was terrain masking anything unless it tried really hard to escape earth atmosphere and hide behind the moon.
It was terrain masking behind the moon lol
