DCS World - F-15 vs Mirage F1 - Desert Storm Begins

On the first night of Operation Desert Storm, a group of F-15 Cs from 58th TFS was flying a fighter sweep ahead of a strike package in Western Iraq. Initially, they headed towards a pair of MiG-29s but three Mirage F1s took off from a nearby airbase and they immediately became their top priority. Captain Robert 'Cheese' Graeter led the flight into one of the first encounters with the Iraqi Air Force.
DCS World again proves to be a suitable platform for historic reenactments.

I like the missile launch scene from above the ship!

The attention to details in your videos is second to none: you've managed to make a DCS night-time video that is both watchable and enjoyable!
To viewers I recommend watching this during the night and turning all the lights off. ;-)
Cheers!

I remember that scary night I was 9 years old kid, I saw my parent and my family terrified for the first time !! I will never forget the expressions of my dad's face :(

this wasn’t the real first strike read “angles of attack” it speaks of the naval air war prior to desert storm a re- enactment of that mission I would REALLY love to see

[RYDER]

Rob "Cheese" Graeter second kill is simple he locked up the F-1 that was going after the EF-111 but the Mirage crashed. "Cheese" got the credit for the kill EF-111 crew got DFC'S.

another great video. Do you ever need people to fly with you when making these?

I think this is the one with either Rob "Cheese" Graeter or Steve "Tater" Tate

[BulletMyEnemy]

Your stuff is kind of like watching that old dogfight series, except it’s a lot more professionally narrated and significantly less “Wooo AMERICA!” cringe 😅

Do you have to script all the AI actions? How did you make one crash? I think a lot of the technical behind the scenes stuff goes over my head, but the effort is appreciated and the results are impressive 👌🏼

[CoalPoggers]

I think you should get a Discord server up

I guess they dont have Instrument ratings in Iraq

[Eric-knyn]

Chinese airforce would be effective against USAF. We may find out soon

[donparker]

OK, yes it was night. One can't see a damned thing in this video except the TLAM launches from the cruiser. C- on this "video"
