"Father, I crave for the forbidden heat signature..."

[RedWave]

That Gazelle got a big taste of freedom

[Softjuice]

The forbidden heat signature strikes again😂.

This channel is such a breath of fresh air. YT shorts is just 90% brain rot content, I love seeing videos like these.

Choppers can be menaces. But true fear is only known by a chopper who is out of missiles, and then draws the ire of a fast mover. It's spooky when a flying tennis court with more thrust to weight ratio than god buzzes by at mach.

[Taolan]

that gazelle is me.

not this specific one, but I am *that* kind of asshole to just sit idling on the deck, pop up for a lock, and fire away.

Every vid is making me want to play dcs more

So satisfactory, and I like it when she went: "Aubergine, Aubergine" (Over G)

Real military training exercises have revealed helicopters armed with AA missiles actually have an impressive record against jet fighters. They move much faster than SAM and are difficult to target because of how close to the ground they are. It's just typically helicopters aren't armed with AA missiles.

"Better to be lucky than good".

Well, luck does tend to favour the skilled and the prepared.

"I send out so many freedom tickets..." man this guys' humor is on point

[cat_tv]

The 'oooh shiny' killed me lol 😂

[_R-R]

And unfortunately for the Hornet, it's not an F-15. So good luck trying to fly without a critical structural component.

[PHLZ]

Getting killed by a Gazelle? This maneuver is gonna cost us our dignity 😭

[alaynadiaz]

Every time it looks like something from Top Gun

[YourLordMobius]

That missile went for the forbidden heat source.

Also my god i love the f-15s paint job.

I always appreciate your narrative breakdowns. So good!

Damn, I wish I found your channel earlier. It's so interesting watching these simulations (without the stakes of a real dogfight lol), AND it allows you to pull crazy Main Character™ stunts! I would have loved to watch them with my dad. He absolutely LOVED planes and would literally watch Top Gun every day. Being a pilot was his dream lol.

The idea that a seeker missile loses its lock-on if it faces the sun is an incredible detail.
