Cap, I'm only 11 minutes in so far. But the use of the jeep for a ground-level perspective and the cows to emphasize scale is... brilliant.

[RichardBejtlich]

This video would have been a game changer for me in USAF intel school 25 years ago. We learned these systems looking at projected slides and black and white photos. Well done Cap and team.

[rnash]

I was an ELINT analyst in the Air Force a long time ago and this would have been so much nicer than reading Jane's and the classified similar books for information.

[jayg]

This very first time I have ever truly understood the size of these Russian SAMs. Pictures and videos on television do these machines no justice. One of the best educational DCS videos I have seen to date. Thank you, sir.

[napnic]

This, Reapers, is an EXCEPTIONAL video! The research needed and delivery fantastic. The time I spend on wikis trying to piece together SAM information and you have the ultimate guide right here now. This video is on my, um, Quick Dial. Honestly, THANK YOU for doing it, I hope you get many more Patreons 'cos this is money well spent on quality entertainment and game information. Some laughs too there .... man I can actually smell the beef. 🐮🐮🐮🍖🍖🍖👌👌👌

[rickjames]

This reminds me of the American F-16 pilot who dodged 6 SAMs in one mission over Iraq. The footage is crazy as the Gs he experienced must have been insane.

[ReflectedSimulations]

A much needed video and explanation, this is very helpful, thanks guys!

[TheKythia]

I love these videos. Thank you for making DCS accessible to us! :)

[trottheblackdog]

Thanks for including both the NATO code names and the Russian names. That clears up a lot of confusion for me! Excellent work everyone!

[CMFL]

This is fascinating. Where you've come in the 2 years I've been watching you is remarkable...in both your in-game ability and your ability to tell a story (and edit until your eyes bleed). I've never played DCS or Arma for that matter but I still watch everything you put out because if I'm not learning something I'm laughing my ass off. Thanks Cap, I cannot imagine how much research went into this and how patient the boys needed to be for all the resets lol

[relfch]

Coming from a long time DCS addict .. I'm having so much fun and this isn't done yet .. Thanks for that man

[ashlittle]

Fantastic video Captain. You have come so far from the first SAM video and I’ve enjoyed watching all the way. Great work that I’m sure all DCS pilots will appreciate. Salute

[emmata]

39:30 Everyone in War Thunder Top tier knows how good the Tunguska is.
Crazy fast missiles witch you see, when they hit you. Also amazing MG for short range

[RobertRidleyakatrebor]

Love how you use the cows to scale the size of each SAM system. Very clever. And I'm sure no actual cows were harmed in the making of this video, LOL!

[bentley]

Great video, great cast, great timing…PETA is unhappy that any cows were killed. Greta is unhappy that all the methane belching cows weren’t killed.
Nice job 👍

[Rhinozherous]

Thank you guys again for your work! There is no other channel bringing this details!

[CyberSurfrDude]

LOVE how you made this one - Awesome-sauce!

[Farming-Technology]

Really well done with this one. Audio and presentation is excellent. Setting them out and driving around to compare is a nice touch.

[paeturis]

14:02 - My dad worked with those, but they were just mounted on a truck, not on a chassis. In my country, we called those the Three fingers of death.

[cameronwilliams]

A great showcase for the stunning work by DCS. Frightening stuff in a real world sense.
