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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!

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.

Links to get your hands on the Gripen Mod are posted Above in the Video Description, Thank you for watching please remember mods are based on publicly available information regarding these aircraft and therefore do not represent the full capabilities of these aircraft its just the best we have at this time.

Its taking canada so long to decide because neither SAAB or Lockheed will budge on including an in cockpit maple syrup dispenser that is certified for 9+ Gs

Thank you for this great sim,

1. your point about public information and the accuracy of the 'mod' is spot on. SAAB made a statement recently that the JAS 39 E/F and even the C/D variants during exercises in the UK and other countries never use the ECM and the full suite of Electronic warfare during those exercises. They said basically what you said in this video, that they do not want anyone knowing the full capabilities of their Electronic warfare suite of the Gripen (Arrow II)

2. I can appreciate your train of thought for using the American missiles, however, with the cost savings, the BVR interceptor role over the artic, Canada would be very foolish not to purchase a large amount of Meteor missiles.

3. One of the great tactics of the Gripen is that essentially each JAS 39 is essentially an AWACS with real-time data sharing across the network with a range of at least 500km. With the new detection systems on E/F in a squadron flight one aircraft would have the radar on and the others would be 'radar silent'. The 'radar silent' aircraft can lock on to the enemy aircraft from the one active radar aircraft. Plus the meteor missile has two-way communication with the aircraft on the network, whereas it can re-acquire radar lock or even switch targets mid-flight.

4. At a Red Flag vs the F16 Viper the flight of 4 Gripens scored 5-0 5-2 5-0. The comment from the F16 pilots is that they never saw the Gripens. Note that these were the Gripen C/D models.

5. It is reported that the RCS of the Gripen E/F is .5 m2 and is less than 1/4 that of the CF18.

Again Great job on this video.

I would love to see a sim where all four squadrons of 15 each from their respective home base at Cold Lake and Baggotville defend against full scale Russian air invasion across the artic. Russian bombers escorted by Russian fighters.

scenario 1 Gripen JAS-39 equipped with BVR meteor missiles plus other medium and short-range missiles. Note, use the best of the American or European missiles to arm the Gripen (Arrow mk. II) Supercruise at Mach 1.18, Note that since the E/F has 40% more internal fuel than the C/D I would suggest using the drop tanks for that amount of extra fuel to make it a more reasonable comparision when using the DCS Mod which is the C/D.

Scenario 2 F35 armed with only the US-made missiles. max cruise speed is 0.7 Mach with short bursts at higher speeds.

F35 only northern landing airport is Yellowknife. Although I was not able to confirm the time for the F35 to re-arm and refuel, most US jets average 30 minutes.

Gripen can land re-arm and refuel at any of the 140 plus runways across the Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, and Northern Quebec. Whereas the ground crew of 1 tech and 5 'conscripts' with a 20-foot container dropped at the forward operating bases by cargo planes. Air-to-Air re-arm and refuel for the Gripen is between 7-10 minutes.

Personally, I hope and pray that we (Canada) choose the JAS 39 E/F Arrow mark II.

There is one channel that I can say “I see, I click” every time!

[lockhartmatthew]

You're right on GS. Look at aircraft like the SR-71 and F-117. These aircraft went into service for decades and got retired. There are still many details of these aircraft that remain classified.

[clivereid]

Loving the BVR stuff. Keeping a mixture of dogfights, BVR and missions / scenarios keeps it interesting. :)

[isaaccoote]

You did really well against the R-37 this time. It is such a lethal missile, that dodge at 5:24 was just insane. You literally robbed that missile. Awesome video man.

*Contents keep getting better and better, keep it up GS!*

[abhijeetkhalia]

What an amazing discovery this channel is🙌. Now I got a little sense of what actually air combat is. Kudos to the channel 👍🏿. Gonna subscribe this channel.

[oleksii.malovanyi]

Those BVRs are so much more thrilling then dogfights for me! Thank you

[jpiercelt]

*The best shot you fired in this entire video* - when you took a shot at all the Chad's in the comments who claim to know everything about classified weapon systems with all their 'internet detective' knowledge 🤣🤣🤣 that was great!!!

[ProudOne]

The stories about the Gripen in training exercises are outstanding! From forming up formation with a typhoon undetected. 3 Gripens going up against 5 F-16’s for 3 rounds which ends up to 5-0 5-0 5-1. To 1 Gripen acting as the aggressor against 3 f-15’s, the Gripen then ended up scoring 2 kills with the last f-15 escaping home.

[austinshroyer]

Just got DCS because of this channel luckily found a friendly squadron that is very helpful and I’ve fallen in love with dogfighting

[sgt.grinch]

The video quality is outstanding. Flankers make sexy lawn darts.

[cuabcomstad]

I love it when you put extra time into the editing. The extra effort really makes the videos great.

[aldomoya]

Notification gang 🤟🏽 keep up the great work GS!

[christianm]

Canada would choose Gripen E/F. Not C/D.
Also, you'd use Meteors for long range engagements

Edit: Sorry, opened my mouth too soon. See your point there.

[Frisco]

Dang, you are a nightmare for that SU35. Greetings from Argentina!

[adamgarrison]

Love the BVR content! And the modern aircraft. The ECM thing is always guesswork, but it's nice to see the effort.
