Real Fighter Pilot Dogfights Iranian Jets | Part 2

About this video

Max demonstrates a simulated air combat scenario in an F-15C against six Iranian HESA Kowsar jets (Iranian-built F-5s) in a hypothetical Israel defense situation. He explains radar operation, target tracking, and AMRAAM missile employment while attempting to intercept the aircraft. The first attempt results in most targets being destroyed, but Max reports being shot down by a remaining enemy fighter, prompting him to attempt the scenario again.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that flying the F-15C involves using the radar as a high-altitude sensor platform while managing supersonic flight and body positioning to view displays in different lighting conditions.
• Max describes using track-while-scan radar mode and hands-on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls to lock onto multiple targets, with the F-15C’s radar system automatically prioritizing which threats to engage first.
• Max emphasizes not underestimating the enemy after being shot down in the simulation by a remaining Iranian F-5 that got through his missile defense.
