Indian Su-7 Achieves an Air-to-air Kill (1971 Indo-Pak War) 

Finally a video on the sukhoi su 7, my grandfather will be delighted to see this video. He was in the 221 squadron 'Valiants' which attacked and destroyed military targets in dhaka in 1971. Because of its somewhat bad reputation the sukhoi su 7 was the forgotten fighter aircraft of the Indian Airforce

Impressive to see a SU-7 achieve a kill especially their hopeless performance in Egypt, nonetheless the Indian pilot demonstrated pure skill and madness, mad Molly as I've read.

Came because of Battle Order. Stayed because of the great content

My Dad was a engine tech on Su-7s back in 1971..he is a 65 & 71 veteran.. he used to say that a man of 5'7" could stand in side the jet pipe of a Su-7.. it was a huge n powerful engine..a gas guzzler..

Another brilliant dramatisation! This pilot was known as 'Mad Mally' and he returned to base without claiming the kill. The kill was chalked up in his name only after the PAF conceded the loss of a MiG-19 over Mianwali.

"Never leave your wingman." Look what happens when you do! Great work as usual Showtime.

My dad was in indian airforce, he shared his experience how expensive to manage this aircraft because he use benzene as a fuel which was pretty much expensive and also its gruzzeling sound can make turbulence to wingman's aircraft nozzels. Also they were not so good in combats

iaf, USAF, NATO, Greek, isreal, australia have exllent and well trained pilots greetings from india

Not very often does someone recommend a actually good channel and not just trying to prop someone up

I read the tail of a Su-7 what survive a AIM-9 hit is in the IAF museum.......simple and resistant....very soviet!!!

Another great video! The view from the pilot ejecting as well as the sounds he may have heard was remarkable! Super well done. Thanks :)

Can you cover Sino-Vietnamese war air battles please? Also , great content! Battle Order sent us!

Awesome! Great to see a fighter bomber take down a air to air fighter! I highly appreciate your content.

I like your Indo-Pakistan war videos. Make more!

Battle order sent me, and Im not disappointed.

Came here because of Battle Order's shoutout on RU-vid

Great to hear that an aircraft like the SU-7 was able to get a gun kill on a recon mission. Proves that it is the pilot and not the machine that makes a difference in the air. Situational awareness is key in the air - Dicta Boelcke.♠️🎩🎱🎯🇺🇲🏁🇺🇦🌻🔱🔱💮🌼🌼🌸👊🏴‍☠️

Came from battle order. Good content.

Top quality video my friend,Battle of Order sent me here and ngl this video is worth it

Interestingly this Su family was quite diverse and prolific The fighter interceptor was actually the Su9 (not the7), with a wing plan similar to the Mig21 and later evolved in the Su15 and it's variants. The Su7 evolved into the variable wing Su17 and later the Su 22..

Another one from from the master. Please focus more on making these kinds of videos instead of the "type specific" ones like the one you did on the Ju-87. Also great to look at but there are enough of these kind video's around on YT. You have a real niche thing going here with your "forgotten air battles". No one else does this. Keep it up! .

Another GREAT video and historical presentation. Thanks again ¡¡¡ Don't worry about the details of different models you include in your videos, what it counts is the overall HISTORICAL event; you are paying tribute to he military aviators who were involved. Greetings from Mexico City.

Such interesting stories. Keep them coming and thank you for your work!

Great video, love the included footage.

First of all, congratulations for your canal and it’s a good idea to do this videos about air to air battles in the past wars, thanks for your videos

High landing speed, thirsty all the time, but fast like a bat out of hell, Iraq used these against us plenty times, I remember seeing them bombing our city few times, once it was one, once there was two coming in a trail, second one got hit as they dashed through the valley but they both hit the bridge they were going for and escaped, last time there was four, they dived down in close formation and put more rockets than God into those barracks East of the city... then I didn't see their colors until I was in conscription twenty years later, this time two Su20s from our own guys showed up during a wargame and put some bombs and guns into a target few kicks to the south of our line, man those things are amazing to watch, and they are tall and thin from the side, that's when I started calling them angry freight train...

Indians never lie. If we lose something , we admit.

Battle Order sent me to watch this😂 great video my friend

Battle Order sent me!!

Love your videos keep ‘em coming! So unique and interesting

Very good video. Never seen an su7.

Came from battle order 😂 good video though

Excellent! Love the real life videos inserts, unfortunately the Su7 download is not available anymore.

My wife sent me

It's anemic weapons load and fuel aside the pilots claimed it could take a lot of punishment ...many of them survived damages and brought back pilots that would not be possible with other planes

I love the look of the Sukhoi 7

82ND AIRBORNE The " Actual Footage " is excellent for credibility issues.

Battle order sent me 😂

From battle order.

🇮🇳 jai hind

I remember it from the Eighties as they served in our (then mighty) Czechoslovak Air Force

Wait, why the second mig19 didn't engaged the su7 after its wingman/leader was shot down?

Was it me or was that su-7 doing doughnuts ? 😂

Da je imao duži domet i lakše sletanje bio bi dosta bolji, su 22 je pokušao da ispravi te greške. Inače, super video

Su7s were a headace for IAF. HUGE in size they were not manoverable. 48 out of 50 were lost in 71. IAF should be thankful to PAF for reducing if not elimlnating their prblem.

From battle order

Order battle sent me (to your doom 😈😈)

soviet weapons have allegedly performed badly through out the world..... except india

Where is the su7 for dcs available? Thank you.

I was sent here by battle order

We hath been senthforth by thy battl order

Battle order bot reporting for duty

One pak soldier shoot down an indian fighters jet with. 303 rifle on 60 feet tall building rooftop from Dhaka.

make video on 26,27 feb 2019 indo pak war

why do indian pilots are winning most of the engagements even tho pakistani pilots are in better machines ?

Often forget Su-7

disappointingly i think this is the only recorded air to air kill accorded to an IAF pilot that has been confirmed. And Battle Order send me.

Hey, have u heard about hf24's only air kill? It shot down a paf f86 in this war.

Another excellent video and narration by Showtime 112. One thing however, @3:38 and @4:01 PAF MiG 19 / F-6 did not have arabic or Urdu numerals on the front fuselage.

I can understand if a fighter aircraft is shot down, but what were the accidents about?

Goooooood video I like 👍 it 👍

Pakistan never used mig or sukhoi fighter jets of USSR or Russia. Pakistan used all American jets f86 sabre and f104 starfighter used in 1965 and 1971 wars

Love your video's

On the contrary SU-7, was not a very effective fighter bomber. I experienced 1965 and 1971 war as a school going kid. SU-7 was used in 1971 War. In all parts of the country the SU-7 fought unsuccessful air combats and were seen going down like Mosquitos and little Birds falling from the wide Blue sky. One, was shot down where we lived, and it was down by a F-86 E.. SU-7 Pilot ejected and became a POW. Talking about this particular video,your commentary is incorrect, first hand information report on this incident was that this SU-7, after Recon mission was fleeing away, and while vanishing from the area, spotted two Mig-19's. Since SU-7 was coming from the recon mission, so its all electronics were open / operating and was intercepting the radio communication between the Mig-19s and their radar, during all this it took a pot shot on one of the MIg-19, who were not even aware of the SU-7 being in the area. Both Mig-19s were not vectored by the radar authorities and a lucky shot by the SU-7 hit the Mig-19. This is how it happened. To verify, read Air Marshal Ayaz Khan's article in the magazine called Airforce, September 2009. Same Squadron of Mig-19s, shot down 6 SU-7 and 2 Mig-21s during the War. But it is not to be mention, since this channel is supported by a special vested interest and a of group, who has been given this project to circulating incorrect information and lobbing a wrong kind of propaganda about the opponent air force. After all opponent Air Force gave hell to the enemy, not only in 1971 but also in 1965. in 1971, 102 fighter planes were lost by the enemy and shot down by the opponents and out of which, 25% of were shot down through the ground fire, rest were shot down in the air combat. SU-7, did not do well during the 1971 War. SU-7 were shot down by F-86-Es, Mig-19s, Mirage III and F-104. So, SU-7 did not do well against any of the opponent fighter planes. Enemy Mig-21 did better as compared to 1965 War in which they lost 14 Mig-21s on the tarmac in the famous and popular Pathankot air strike by the opponent F-86-Es. In the 1971 War, enemy lost 102 fighter planes and out of which 50% or more were SU-7s. Even in East Pakistan, SU-7s and Mig-21s were lost to the opponent F-86-Es.

It's interesting how the UK left the subcontinent divided and how the NATO empire that superseded that empire now tries to keep it divided. War and bad blood between India and Pakistan, but also a complex diplomatic and economic situation between those two and Russia and China. I have noticed how if all four begin cooperating, the NATO empire tries to drive the wedges back in between them, e.g., the Imram Khan ousting in Pakistan -- who I remember visiting here in NZ for cricket matches and how he was one of the best, or US visits to the region trying to derail peace by getting countries to chose sides using the 'for us, or against us' tactic, etc. Peace Sells, But Who's Buying huh? (a song title) I think if those wedges fail to prevent peace breaking out and strategic economic cooperation grows among those players, all four countries will prosper and move forward rapidly, because together they have all the human and material resources required to do it. Many countries will want to join them. I am a NZ'er and of European descent, but I think this century is shaping up to be one for Asia and Eurasia. I see signs of the so called western world stagnating and even declining. I think Asia and Eurasia could boom and rapidly advance living standards and tech etc. It just needs peace, stability and fair cooperation. That requires earned trust and shared vision. I'd bet on it happening, because countries are asserting themselves and not being bossed to bend the knee to sole superpower Uncle Sam like they were in the 1990s etc. Asia doing well will be good for NZ too, because we sell lots to Asia, but not much to the USA. Let's make sure the USA does not get its new cold war with the front lines in Asia like it wants. War is interesting, but I am not keen for it, or another cold war. I lived through the last one. Seeing the year 2000 seemed 50/50 at times. The Yanks won, so I think they must presume they can win another one. A high stakes gamble, not a sure thing or playbook for victory. Get it wrong and radioactive ashes will be the destiny of millions. They seem to thrive on chaos and conflict, although it is not doing their $33 trillion debt much good, plus they seem to be turning on each other over their own wedge issues that divide Americans. The best thing the rest of the world can do is just ignore them and get on with prospering together by bypassing the Yanks and all their economic roadblocks, CIA/State Dept meddling, media propaganda etc (yes, the Americans do propaganda and public opinion shaping domestically and globally -- and perhaps more than the rest of the world combined). P.S. The Su-7 doing drifts on the ice. My millennial relatives would be very impressed if a Mazda RX7 did that, let alone a fighter jet. I always thought of the jet more as an interceptor, come fighter bomber in its revision. Great looking plane. I can not decide my favourite Soviet jet of that era. I like the lines of the MiG-19 too. Sure, this or that plane is better, but in the context of the time, they were not bad at all. The Soviet design bureaus had the TsAGI facilities expanded, so they could test designs and aerodynamic theory in supersonic wind tunnels etc. The research often bore fruit, e.g., the later Su-27 and MiG-29 airframes were astonishing for their time. -- I remember the amazement well. I am also always amazed at how the Soviets took an almost feudal Russia that was decades behind the west and was mostly illiterate peasant farmers, but turned that into a highly educated, fairly advanced superpower in a very short time. That is mind boggling levels of socioeconomic and technical advancement (there's good and bad in it and it ran out of steam for many reasons internal and external, but it's still impressive from a historical point of view that it occurred at all, e.g., periods where the growth rates were in the hundreds of percent, whereas now a few percent is considered fast). BTW. I despise things about the US patrician class, i.e., things about the billionaires and hedge funders et cetera, but I have no problem with the average working American, apart from too many of them drink the Kool-Aid, which led to and still leads to their government causing many, many millions of deaths worldwide since WWII. I hope the Americans prevail that want the USA to be just another country, rather than this self appointed leader of the free world BS and the world's policeman etc. US tax payers pay a lot of the cost of all that, but they do not see hardly any of the ROI on their investment. - Wall Street does, while the average US worker just gets a little trickle down if they are lucky. Sometimes they benefit economically though, but that is offset by high costs of living and declining real incomes etc. Some non-first-world countries are almost overtaking them, or have already. The USA is very uneven socioeconomically though. A huge gap between the millions of poor and the few super wealthy, while the so called middle class shrinks and edges closer to the living standards of America's poor. I spent two years in Michigan 2014-2016 and saw the Rust Belt and homeless etc. It shocked me. Parts of it looked just like the decrepit factories liquidated after 1991 in the former USSR. I'll never forget what I saw in Detroit. Miles and miles of urban and suburban decay, industrial ruins, and true poverty out in plain sight (poverty by any standard a few notches short of famine and war etc). Woops. I wrote a little comment and just kept editing and adding more. It's something I think about at times. What kind of world the younger generations of my family will face. The same old, same old, but lots of different too. History does not repeat, but it does rhyme. I suspect AI and automation will transform the capitalist methods of production so much that it will transform society gradually over decades like steam power and electricity et cetera did to feudalism's age old systems of production and society during the Industrial Revolution. Something new taking shape. That could be a good thing, or it could be a terrible dystopia like the TV series The Expanse where there is very little work for folks stuck on Earth, so they live on rations pretty much. It could also be something in between those two poles. A lot depends on who owns the machines and the wealth they produce etc. They are the ones who will have the political power to shape what it all looks like and where it goes, because what is called democracy is really more akin to plutocracy and oligarchy. Okay, I am done. It's getting late. Cheers to anybody who read all this. Have a nice day whoever you are and wherever you are :). Then there's Africa. The wealthiest continent perhaps, but also the poorest. Centuries of corrupt leaders installed by western colonial powers looted all that wealth and they still do even after supposed decolonization. Education, organization, genuine sovereignty over wealth and policy, true self determination, unity and solidarity among African nations, mutual cooperation and socioeconomic development to the benefit of Africans, not Wall Street, Paris and London etc. The recipe for Africa's success. Easier said than done, but Africans are more than capable of it if they all put their minds to it and refuse to be played by the former business suited looters.

where were these in 26 feb.

The Soviets offered both the MiG-21 and Su-7 to Pakistan in the late 1960's but the Pakistanis turned them down

How the hell did you get an Su 7 on DCS?!

Can you make Honduras 100 hour war plsssss

Keep this up! It seems that Indian pilots do better than Pakistani ones. Is this true? If so, why?

PAF shoot down many su7 during 1971 wa.

IS SUKHOI STILL MAKING FIGHTER JET RIGHT NOW?

I somehow can’t click the patreon link

😏We won🇮🇳👉🏼

Hey will you make a video of Russian su-25 in Ukraine

For people who know about the India-Pakistan wars.....One Tu-126 AWACS was rumored to be in indian service in 1971, with a soviet crew......true, fake, posible???.......thanks for the information.

Bruv That's Only them , Remember the world's fastest ACE , Top Gun MM Alam , 1965.

Battle order send me because the YT algorithm is a failure.

start working on your halloween special. fighters vs UFOs. peru su22 and iiaf f14 vs UFOs...for starters.

do u have video for j7 thunders ??

War history when PAF pilot MM Aalim shot down 5 IAF hunters with in two minutes..

1

If I am not wrong u mostly show indian plane shooting down Pakistani plane. You seldom show Pakistani plane shooting down Indian Plane. If I am right then it is biasness on your part. If I am wrong then I apologize in advance

can you please share the su-7 mod ?

i hope u ll find truth 😇 that ll amaze u

i ve done extensive research on indo pak wars of both 65 and 71 . . and confidently say that no Mig19 or F6 as called by pakistanis was lost to a SU7 during entire 71 war . . its seems to be a fiction or false claim . . . 🙂

It is interesting how Soviet love copying Western designed the Su7 copy from F 105 design.

Again you tend to show a very Indian perspective and show only Indian victories …how can you talk about info pak air air battles without taking about MMAlam ?

First? I guess

🤑

Mianwali Not Risalewala

i dont know whos the video maker and everything but the thing i want to say if you come from.pakistani side (1965) air strikes,Dog fight and make proper documentry on it u ll be amazed . especially knowing about squadrn M.M ALAM. his record never been broken of killing indian jets in split of seconds 😇✌️😎 and that is also posted on google histry is available with proofs so u should come by pakistan side and make this video u ll realize the power of" " M.M ALAM"

Keep on the audio/visual propaganda; real outcome is SWIFT RETORT !

Lol Friendly fire 🔥

There are so many successful kills of Indian jets by pak fighters planes during ndo-pak war but you never made pak success video, you are a biased person who has an obsession with indian admiration.

Paid propaganda always quoting the Pakistani sources!!

Ejazudheen Ejected 😅

Pakistanis never used soviet machines always used american machines..at that time american sabres...u said mig 19???
