Real Fighter Pilot vs. Russian Flankers in Dogfight | Part 3
About this video
Max simulates a hypothetical dogfight scenario in an F-15C against two Russian SU-30 Flanker aircraft, framing it as a playful revenge mission on behalf of his brother. He explains his tactical approach, including using track-while-scan radar mode, attempting visual identification before engagement, and employing both guns and missiles. Max successfully defeats both SU-30s in this simulated combat scenario, narrating his maneuvers and decision-making throughout the engagement.
Key takeaways
- Max demonstrates a hypothetical engagement scenario where he waits for visual identification before firing, simulating real rules of engagement that might require commanders to authorize weapons release
- Max explains that 400 knots is the optimal maneuvering speed for the F-15C variant he’s simulating
- Max notes that SU-30 aircraft are very durable (’like tanks’), capable of sustaining significant damage and continuing to fly
