Real Fighter Pilot Dogfights Iran | DCS

About this video

Max flies hypothetical combat scenarios in the DCS flight simulator, piloting an F-15C against progressively more advanced Iranian aircraft. He begins by engaging Su-24 ground-attack jets, then moves on to Iranian F-14s and F-4s, and finally faces Russian-made Su-35s that Max speculates Iran might acquire. Max finds the Su-35 encounters particularly challenging, achieving stalemates in multiple attempts.

Key takeaways

• Max demonstrates simulated engagements starting with older Iranian Su-24s and F-14s, which he says could appear in a potential conflict
• Max argues that Iran’s lack of Western partnership has limited spare parts for older aircraft, though he speculates they might use 3D printing for components
• Max finds the Su-35, which he describes as Russia’s most advanced fourth-generation (or fourth-and-a-half generation) fighter, to be nearly equivalent in performance to the F-15C in his simulation
