American F-22 Raptor Vs Russian Mig-31 Foxhound | Digital Combat Simulator | DCS | 

Thank you for fulfilling my request

Also, I hope you had a happy thanksgiving! Thanks again bud

Growling Sidewinder… can you do F18 vs SU35F. American 🇺🇸 vs Russia 🇷🇺 The BF3 dog fights

i'd still like to see "NGAD" vs F-15 ACTIVE.

@@numberyellow NGAD VS F-15 STOL/MTD

Love the info detailing the specs about the aircraft. You did with the F22 v the F35. Keep it up

I'm not sure if the DCS designers have tweaked things, but I recall your F-22 SEAD video where you obliterated an enemy airfield and planes taking off and the SAM sites didn't even get a sniff on the Raptor, not even when the bay doors were open. Forgetting real-world specs, even in DCS I find it tough to believe that a smaller airborne radar like the Foxhound would carry would outperform the larger SAM systems in defeating the stealth. That's why I think they might have tinkered with the -22 data to make it slightly less OP.

Next one is to see how the F-35 would fare against the MiG-31...

It has been my understanding throughout history the US typically understates its capabilities, and its adversaries tend to overstate theirs. Of course, one should always take the claims as a potential truth because underestimating the enemy would be fatal.

Even though these aren't 100% accurate, but still, seeing the Raptor have to do some work for victory was nice!!

Sure thing I enjoy making that stuff also. I’ll do it wherever possible.

I want to echo your sentiment. Context is always a fine seasoning to life 👍

@@GrowlingSidewinder i agree. I would also really enjoy you just talking about the history and capabilities of these planes in general. Maybe a rundown of the mods or something

Agreed

^^ what they said

Phantom moment

Just imagine a stealth interceptor using MiG-31 tactics

You forgetting the cancer giving radar on the nose of it.

@@KalvyNoodle should be the concept around the future "Mig-41"

For a brick it flew pretty good

Foxbat (Mig-25) was incredibly heavy. Two cruise missile turbojets, slapped on the big slab of steel (to handle the heat of Mach 3 flight). Of course it does not handle well. Foxhound (Mig-31), although similar, has more efficient turbofans, better radar and avionics. But she is still fat and big.

Over the ocean.... Flat as a ping pong table😕

@Syntex366 Mustard is the reason I signed up to Nebula, I'm really looking forward to the B-2 doc coming up.

It was so fast that they had to use steel or titanium because of the build up of heat, they used steel. It was never intended to be a dog fighter, it was designed to shoot down high altitude high speed bombers that were being developed in the US.

@@syntex3664 yeah I'm subbed to Mustard, Dark Skies and Found and Explained.

Apple tactics before apple was a think It only conects with mig devices iMig 31

All US 4th and 5th Gen fighters do this too. But yea the MiG31 was early with it. It is a bigger factor than most people realize! Having FDL is a HUGE asset!

@@MattH-wg7ou I think Sweden's Viggen had datalink of a sort, the JA37 variant. Not sure if they could display info to each other or just share the ground radar, though. F-14s were early with datalink, too, but probably just between individual planes and the carrier or E-2s.

Still can't defeat a f22

@@newlevelgamer5879 f22 not actual combat tested

It's called 'recon by fire' I think, not sure if that is the correct nomenclature in the us military. In my country, we learn in the army that the best way to be sure is focus fire in the general are when in doubt because it forces the opfor to evade or take a hit.

@Omar Khurshid it is very risky indeed and almost surely reveals you are there. It's only used when you know the enemy is there and you believe they have already detected you. So firing the torpedo doesn't really make things much worse

@@johndoe70770 "recon by fire" is absolutely what is used in the US Army. Can't speak for other branches, but I'm sure the Marines and Air Force use the same term. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Navy says the same, but submarines use a different term. The sub branch is pretty dissimilar from the rest of the Navy from what I've heard, and also torpedoes are somewhat uniquely equipped for the task. They have wires attached to them and can be controlled by the sub and given different orders until the wire snaps/is disconnected, so it would make sense to me that it would be uniquely suitied for just firing off and either pretending you have a target, or just sending it into the general area, knowing that the torpedoes own SONAR will pick them up and then can be commanded to attack that target.

@@johndoe70770depends what you are doing. The ANA would “recon by fire” thus alerting tali’s to the assault. They would bug out and the ANA didn’t have to get into a gun fight. Very frustrating.

@Tylerrr324 yeah I agree. But we probably won’t know anytime soon.

Missiles with better range, but has no chance in a closer encounter with the f-22

@@cineva-wb1pk In a close encounter, yes. But that's exactly my point. It's like the Bismark fighting an Arleigh Burke--I mean sure, the Bismark has enough firepower to vaporize the Burke in one go--if not for the fact that you could smash the Bizzie with cruise missiles before she even knew you were there. You could make the same argument for an F-14 going BVR with an F-22. Ah, but the F-22 is able to nullify the MiG-31s advantage by using stealth and good maneuverability to dodge the missile storm and get in close, to an environment where it is vastly superior. It would be like giving the Bizzie modern stealth and sensors, but leaving her weapons the same. Now she would have a pretty good fighting chance against a modern ship. That's basically what the F-22 did here, and that, combined with the fact that GS is a great pilot, is what gave the F-22 the victory.

Remember stealth is not always invisible on radar it will always gonna detect from a close range, by using strong radar/low frequency radar which make it easier to detect the stealth aircraft, but mostly it will detect on a close range. As you can see in the fight between F22 and Mig 31, first of all people thinks that the F22 raptor will not gonna detect on the Mig 31 radar and as it is an stealth aircraft which make it difficult to detect on radar and since the people thinks the F22 will gonna launch the missile from a long to medium range and make a formation towards Mig 31 and down shot that it, as the RCS of mig 31 which is huge around 15m2 compared to F22 RCS around 0.0001m2. But surprisingly the Mig 31 able to detect the F22 from a medium to close range quickly on radar compare to other 4 gen aircraft. Because it has strong radar which not an AESA radar, but a PESA radar but with greater power aspects on Mig 31 radar (backstop: radar name) compare to other aircraft PESA radar. Mig 31 able to see the F22 at the range of under 60 to 40 miles but can't get a lock, which is surprisingly, that makes it superior to the Mig 31 which is actually a true interceptor aircraft, but when you see the fight between such as the F22 against the 6 group of Euro fighter typhoon, the Euro fighter typhoon has advance AESA CAPTOR radar, but 6 of them can't even see at this range, while the 1 Mig 31 PESA backstop radar able to see in this range. Which means that the Mig 31 is having one of the strongest PESA radar of all the aircraft that can even challenge today modern to mid modern AESA radar. Which is totally an surprisingly standard. Even that Mig 31 able to launch the R37M missile maybe at the range of under 50 to 45 miles towards the F22, as you can see in the video the R37M was tracking perfectly towards the F22 target, but it miss in few meters inches, the missile guidance was good and it was tracking very well in both of the matches, but it miss few inches why because the F22 has superior in stealth features and EW suite that can able to jam the incoming missile or with the superior in stealth, because the missile knows where it is heading towards the target but can't get it as the F22 was superior in stealth and good EW suite that able to dodge the missile easily with an few inches. But if Mig 31 was having an medium range infrared missile with electric optical inertial guidance such as R 27ET which has range of about 60 to 80 miles, which finds the heat signature of the stealth aircraft, The R 27ET is the only long range infrared missile that has the range of about 60 to 80 miles, then the R 27ET would have been, bring a worst situation towards the F22, because stealth cannot hide the heat signature at all, but it can be minimize the heat signature by using limited heat process such as 5 gen engine and stealth capabilities but still it cannot hide the heat signature fully. And another thing the infrared missile doesn't show the RWR and MWR on radar, because it is not an radar guidance at all.

It took one F15 with AIM-152s to kill four Mig 31s in GS's previous videos.

An upgrade exist but knowing russia most 31 are probably still unupgraded

@@thesupreme8062 *oligarch laughs in golden yacht

@@BigBossIvan lmao good one

And still can't defeat the f22

And still can't defeat the f22

You can't dogfight at mach 3 🤣 your turn radius would be the size of Texas

@@popiwatv OC didn't mean at a constant pace of Mach 3, just to utilize the speed, given a proper scenario 🙄

So the mig 31 can’t dog fight for anything.. it’s only chance at survival period, is to stay beyond visual range.. and it goes absolutely no deeper than that (it’s just that simple)

@@comradeeverclear4063 would have to be very clever to make use of straight line speed, as the MiG can’t turn very quickly while the F-22 can. Against the F-35, which is substantially slower, the MiG has more of a “launch and leave” option, but the chance of maintaining a lock while doing that seems very low indeed.

No matter how hard you Soviet simps try to defend this jet the F-22 wins no questions asked

There’s stories about foxhounds intercepting Sr-71’s should check em out

My guess is that the US has a very good guess as to the exact capabilities of Russian hardware. The Chinese probably have a close understanding of what US hardware can do, they might very well share that with the Russians if it served their purposes.

@@Justanotherconsumer no doubt the intelligence service can speculate in the realm of accuracy. I more mean if it ever plays out in a way that we (the comment section) can see clearly we're deep in the shit

You can thank the stealth of the F-22 for that

Did Axehead replace the AA-9 'Amos' on the MiG-31..?

Sort of. You never see a MIG-31 flying with AA-9 anymore but they still don’t have many R-37Ms

Correction, you don’t see MIG-31 flying combat missions with AA-9 anymore.

First off, I know everything in dcs is based off publicly available info, but I was honestly shocked that the foxhound was able to lock the f22 at all.. that was alot closer fight than many including myself would have anticipated

@@MississippiKid96 The latest upgrade of the MiG-31 does have UPGRADED anti-stealth abilities. And even the ORIGINAL model from back in the 80s was later considered to be the first fighter with any real capability of "burning through" stealth. However, the -31 is also designed to exploit its datalink to the point where multiple -31s close enough to link or do it through a 3rd party relay, their sensors are made into an artifical array that basically allows it to function as a much bigger, stronger and more accurate radar. The effect is very good at partially ignoring stealth.

@@DIREWOLFx75 actually because it sees the target from multiple angles it cant really hide whatever hapens

@@divoulos5758 No, while that HELPS a lot, but it does not reduce the effects of stealth as such.

@@DIREWOLFx75 it definitely limits the ability to disappear into a notch significantly

He did one on the f14 vs mig25 or 31.... It's basically the same thing honestly. Plus the f14 radar is weaker than the Mig31 radar.

GS just killed 4 Mig 31s with one F15 with AIM-152s.

@@jayvee8502 that missile is not real. If it was aim 120d the F15 would have been dead or destroyed by the 4 or 2 Mig 31.

@@Davis2920022001 if it was weaker than the F14 radar then how mig 31 able to look F22 at the medium range and able to launch the R37M missile toward it and the missile was tracking very well but it miss few meter from the F22. So it means that the mig 31 radar able to look the F22 on radar but not properly so don't you thing that Mig 31 PESA radar is more stronger and powerful than the Euro fighter typhoon which is AESA radar. Even that see the match between F22 VS 6 Eurofighter typhoon of BVR match and try to compared with the 1 Mig 31 vs F22 BVR match. You will know the result.

@@heatblast876 read what he wrote again.😂

hornet isnt even in the same league as the rest of the aircraft mentioned lol

Right it’s almost impossible to hit something you can’t see

The only thing that would be even worse for the MiG-31 is the F-35 with Meteors or JATM's. Or a F-22, F-35 joint mission.

The notch ( I think) is when you fly at 90° from the missile so the missile have to turn and slow down
