Real F-16 Pilot vs Russian Attack Helicopters | Digital Combat Simulator

About this video

Max flies a Digital Combat Simulator mission recreating a Gulf War scenario based on the real “Stroke 3” mission. He attempts to bomb a supposed chemical weapons factory while evading SA-2 surface-to-air missiles and engaging MiG-29s and attack helicopters. The video shows multiple attempts at the mission, with Max providing fighter pilot commentary and tactics throughout, interspersed with his opinions on work ethic and mindset.

Key takeaways

• Max demonstrates air-to-air tactics against MiG-29s using AMRAAMs and engages ground targets while managing threats from SA-2 missiles and AAA (anti-aircraft artillery)
• Max recounts that the real Stroke 3 pilot during the Gulf War had six SA-2 missiles launched at him during a similar mission
• Max struggles throughout multiple attempts to successfully engage the attack helicopters protecting the target area, which he describes as highly maneuverable and well-defended with flares
