That pincer move from the 2 incoming Flankers was quite well executed for AI. Without the situational awareness, your chances were very little from the start. Great fight and great video 🤘
Sure, you lost the MiG, but you took out two Flankers and two Frogfoots, spoiled the enemy strike mission, and you ejected... safely? As long as you make it back to friendly lines unhurt and they have another jet, I'd call that a success.
Hi Longshot. This technique was tried by Serbian (Yougoslav) Air Force in 1999 against NATO planes. It didn't work well. They too were flying on Mig-29A but with GCI. The problem was AWACS. As soon as MIGs were airborne they were detected by AWACS and an interception package was directed on them (pair of F-15s). MIGs were shot with AIM-120 in BVR fight In your mission Russian side had A-50 which should have had detected you but it didn't. Once detected R-77 would have entered into the play with the interception package. Mig-29A is out of its league. It is a plane suited for 1980-1990 air war not for modern conflict. Never the less it was a good video.
This is not a mig29a this is a mig29s , true he wouldnt have stood a chance but migs are definitely not old the UPG and SMT variant especially even if ukraine had F-16s in this situation it wouldnt have mattered
One of my favourite aviation novels was written back in the 1970's by a bloke called Derick Robinson, called "Goshawk Squadron", and covers the attempt in 1918 of a very dysfunctional squadron commander called Augustus Wolley to teach his replacement pilots the realities of war in the air. (it won the Booker Prize the year it was published). In it, Wolley tries to hammer into his "Sporting and Chivalrous" public schoolboys the idea that it's all about "Sneaking up on the other poor bastard, shooting him in the back and then running away before his friends realise you're there". This, Sir, was a textbook example of just that. You are a certified Arial Assassin. Beautifull. The first warning that strike package had that you were there was when they started blowing up. Absolutely beautiful.
I think the pinecones in your radar dish from running so close to the trees is what hampered you from finding them. Nice intercept on the attack package though!
Would be interesting to see some variation of this with a more realistic/limited loadout. Ukraine's jets dont have any Fox-3s. The Migs have only had R-27ERs (2x R27, 4x R73), with Flankers generally having a mixed load of R-27ER, R-73, and a pair of R-27ETs (Pics of the one that flew to Romania on night one are a good resource. That jet had 5x R27ER, 1x R-27ET under the right wing only, and 4x R-73). Could similarly get a wingman and do air defense vs cruise missiles, something they've been using their jets for a lot, and where much of the "dogfight" footage has come from.

Everybody: You lost sight of them, you're lost, you don't even know where they are. Longshot: Hah! Tactical lateral offset to slide right in behind them! Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Now you get to walk back home through the woods. In the snow. You were really down in the weeds there, _under_ treetop height. Maybe you should change your callsign from "LongShot" to "The Logger."
Nice mission idea, keep-up the good work! The only thing is that AFAIK Ukraine doesn't have the R-77 but Russian Flankers do. It just shows *some* of what Ukrainian pilots are up against IRL. Balls of steel.
Thought you were going to bag those Flankers at the end but you got 4 before that! As usual, great footage outside the jet! Just a thought but it would be cool if you identified the ground assets as to what type they are as you encounter them.
Great video Longshot and a great start to my Friday - breakfast, and coffee while watching a Longshot DCS video - life does not get any better than this. Soon it will be the weekend and I will be playing DCS myselfe. Stay safe Longshot and blue skies! o7
@@LongShotChannel Every Tuesday, Friday and Satuday Sir. I have been playing DCS for more than 10 years, but I am nowhere close to your skill level Sir!
@@LongShotChannel No problem Sir, I have been into combat flightsimulators for the past 30+ years...(its actually 40+ years, but then you would know how ancient I am...lol...late 1980s a time when the sky was blue and the ground green and not much else in the simulators - we didnt even have real 3D back then...but it was fun!)
Yeah, i get the sense you'd have to intentionally choose mountains and stay around them all the way back to safety, so radar locks wouldnt stay constant on you - you'd have to see k out the highest terrain and go to it, to sneak egress out This was a cool mission!
Your videos are so entertaining! It's like watching a movie; feels like an extended cut of Top Gun II, how you go back and forth from cockpit to external views to tell the story, the best when you express your feelings in the moment. Keep up the great work Longshot!
Yes, that's true. Except that maybe these episodes was happening in Ukraine at the beginning of russian invasion. So for Ukrainian pilots, that was not entertainment

@@kirilivakhnenko66 Война - это часть политики. Ужас- это аффект. Не нужно здесь свое дерьмо оставлять. Здесь обсуждают игру, самолеты, технику ведения боя и ничего больше.
i liked the action but was this a real scennario? It is not likly they would not have known you where in the warzone with all the defences set to intercept bandits like you? Where did you enter the warzone or is it just a drop into the zone by DCS? Sorry for my english writting but its not my native language lol.
his radar sends out waves which bounce off other aircraft and send those waves back so that he may detect them, the enemy planes have Radar warning receivers to let them know when someone is looking or locking on to them. in the video you can hear beeping when a radar bounces off him and tones for when hes locked.
Fox 3? Ukranian Mig 29?.... What?🗿 Edited: What I mean is Ukranian ones don't have any Fox 3 capable missiles available (by now). Usual AA loadout for Ukranian Mig 29 is 2xR-27 and 4xR-73

His SA was pretty good indeed but without GCI or AWACS it's hard to tell how far an enemy is
I suppose it was inevitable but really thought you'd get away with it! Great mission.
Thanks, that was a fun one

Id love to see a post fight analysis to see how the flankers approached and engaged
I think the pinecones in your radar dish from running so close to the trees is what hampered you from finding them. Nice intercept on the attack package though!
LOL I might have a few in there

Hey guys! In this DCS World Simulator video I'm in one of my favorites FC3 Jets, The MiG29 Fulcrum.
I'm intercepting a strike that has SU27 Flankers as escort and SU25 as the main strikers.
Hope you guys enjoy!
realistically, that's a great job! unfortunately you didn't manage to get out but i mean a strike package was completely destroyed so that's great.
He completed his primary objective - as a lone pilot without AWACS or GCI support, that's more than can be expected.
Everybody: You lost sight of them, you're lost, you don't even know where they are.
Longshot: Hah! Tactical lateral offset to slide right in behind them! Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Very cinematic, wonderful! Thank you very much!
Thanks so much
Loving the missions and maybe try more intercept missions or even more CAS! Everyone loves some CAS
Personally, I enjoy this kind of content way more than the 1vs1 merge fights.
Really great!
this was great !! loved it. have to say the flankers were awesome at the end. the difference in power
You did what you were assigned to do and went out with your boots on, Longshot! Great video!
Glad you liked it, thanks
he ejected = alive
And he got 4:1 favorable ratio for his side
Now you get to walk back home through the woods. In the snow.
You were really down in the weeds there, _under_ treetop height. Maybe you should change your callsign from "LongShot" to "The Logger."
Always good to see the Mig-29

The only thing is that AFAIK Ukraine doesn't have the R-77 but Russian Flankers do. It just shows *some* of what Ukrainian pilots are up against IRL. Balls of steel.
Hope that they accomplish integration with the Aim-120 in the polish donate mig 29. But yeah, probabily they going to NASANs.
It shows a game and has nothing to do with real life.
If that was me flying I would've hit the power pole there. Never fails
Thought you were going to bag those Flankers at the end but you got 4 before that! As usual, great footage outside the jet!

Where did urks get R-77s? They fly their migs with R-27Rs

My first time on your channel, although I'm familiar with you from GS.
Longshot is a cool calsign, but I think GOPHER might be more appropriate.
MiG-29 doing its sneaky thing and then getting Flanked by Flankers...this is textbook stuff

Some badass low level flying 👍
How would the Ukrainian MiG-29s have R-77s?
Well - Even if you lost your Mig, your sortie would be considered a great success for your cause.
Great video, just wish you used tws2 on the intercept. otherwise i Love seeing the mig29
Short summary: you suprised them, they suprised you
A bold effort 👍
I was thinking you were awfully high on that egress.
Stay sneaky my friend
Dammit! I just got FLANKED! ;D
Mig-29 D ....D of Diesel...
That was awesome!
That would be a hard ask of any jet.
I just love you're mig 29 video please make more

Please, what parameters did you have in weather to hace this beautifull enviroment?
Mounth? Day? Temperature?
I couldnt get it.
Thanxs!
Very entertaining video as always
Thanks so much
You should try the same scenario but with a Russian fighter sweep ahead of the strike package -or- do the same scenario you did but with a Russian AWACS present.
All late 4th gen fighters can flank, I'm more concentrated on the striker's advantages and role despite having disadvantages too. 🤔
are these other dcs players or do you just setup a scenario and the program sets it up and runs it?
Why R-77's?
That's why they called flanker.
I want to see the second half of this mission. Evading helo search teams to meet up with rescue.
You did garet long shot good fight
Are there no drop tanks available for the mig 29 in dcs?
Trying to "FLANK" the Flankers... Got "FLANKED" by the Flankers instead.. Eh!!???
Flankers gonna flank.
I think it was a great success
Thank you for the vid! I loved that u flew under the Ukrainian colors, especially when it's almost the 1 year anniversary of a full scale wаr

Wrong weapons. Should have activated your Zulu sidewinders. You’re a dead already, just eject.
