Real F-15 Pilot Dogfights 7 Iranian Fighter Jets in Combat Sim | Part 5

About this video

Max flies an F-15C in a combat flight simulator against six or seven Iranian F-5 fighter jets (called Hesa Kowsar). He describes this as a hypothetical dogfight scenario where he attempts to shoot down all the enemy aircraft with missiles before entering close-range combat. After some initial missile launches, Max recounts engaging in intense maneuvering at low altitude, deploying chaff and flares, and struggling in what he describes as a ‘knife fight in a phone booth’ before the remaining enemy appears to disengage.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that the scenario involves facing Iranian copies of the F-5 fighter jet, called Hesa Kowsar, in a simulated engagement
• Max describes his strategy of using the F-15C’s radar to identify and track multiple targets, then launching AMRAAM missiles to engage them beyond visual range
• Max recounts the intense close-range combat that followed, emphasizing the stress of low-altitude maneuvering over the ocean while deploying countermeasures against enemy fire
