Does the mirror finish go in place of the RAM coating, or is it an addition? Honestly the mirror coating in theory could be a huge counter to Fox2s. I could definitely see this being something implemented on most fighters. Unless it conflicts with RAM coating.

They picked the most impending sounding alarm. Imagine hearing that and seeing a raptor in full dive slinging missles at you. 😱

that merge with the flanker was sexy

This whole video is F-22 saying: "Can't touch this."

I never get tired of watching the F22 terrorize enemies and this video was extra entertaining. Loved when you were toying with the flanker and pulling up so close to the water was insane. Keep the F22 videos coming!

My oldest brother was crew chief for a Bone during Enduring Freedom. Absolutely kick ass aircraft and I urge anyone with the opportunity, to go to an air show and see this thing up close.

Oh man the stories outta that place

"Fox three, fox three...or should I say Rifle, Rifle?" That and how close you got to pancaking on the water cracked me up.

I remember watching video clips on the news as a kid of the Soviets in Afghanistan having run out of surface to air missiles so they would make a low pass over the target popping flares and then a second jet would fire Fox-2's into the target illuminated by flares. I guess you can do it with Fox-3's as well.

The mirror coating reminds me of the spaceship in that 80’s movie, The Flight of the Navigator 👍

Wish to see you doing it from the other side perspective, to demonstrate how difficult it is to face the f22’s.

Nice to see the BONEs in flight. the Lancer is a graceful bomber.

The fact the B-1 can carry 125,000 lbs is incredible. They're an amazing dedicated bomber.

C-17s configured in Rapid Dragon missile truck mode being escorted by an F-22 would be a fun mission. Five pallets of nine missiles each for 45 total per C-17.

These mission vids are epic! They're like little movies.

Its believed that not only does The Metallic Coating drastically reduces IR signature and slightly reduces RCS but also allows The Raptor to accelerate and maintain higher speeds without having to worry about melting off the RAM!

That mirror finish looks sick. Great modelling. Great mission. AMRAAM new function: unlocked.

Everything about this video was amazing, the chrome raptor, the gun kill, flying mere feet above the water, the use of AMRAAMs as AGMs, etc. Congratulations of 500k!

Watching a Bone take off is an epic site.

Holy Hell, that F22 looks AMAZING with that reflective coating on it.

Gotta love it when the A-22 fires those AGM-120s 😂

GS really about to turn that F22 into a jet ski. So so so close to the water, I legit got a pit in my stomach watching that. Nice flying.

WHAT A VIDEO!!! Absolutely amazing, a cinematographic experience. The surprise by the flanker, nearly hitting the water, narrowly dodging the missiles, AGM AMRAAMs, this one just has everything! Thank you GS

The F-22 is just amazing. How about a century battle, a squadron of Fokker Dr1 vs a single F-22.

I am giddy when I see F22 in the title. So fun to watch!!

I like watching you play with your food, a raptor needs to have some fun!

All around brilliant! In my opinion one of your best vids yet!👍👍👍

With how close he got to the water, that was crazy! Masterful flying, yet again.

The view from the ground of the Amrams coming in hot had the feeling of Rods from God!

LOVE all of the cinematic shots

Another awesome video. Really love these. Mirror effect Raptor was nice touch

The mirror finish on the 22 is wicked awesome! And effective apparently.

Love to see the F-22 content

Haha that fatality of the Flanker and him trying to gun you while spinning was War Thunder levels of funny. The cinematic in this game are so smooth and polished. I can’t believe DCS has been around since 08. Impressive.

I have learnt two important things and one disturbing thing. 1. To survive an air to air encounter with the F22 your eject switch 'accidentally' went off, don't know how🤷🏽‍♂️ 2. To survive an F22 on the ground check out that strange perimeter breach you thought you saw, way over there. 3. I am not attracted to any object with one glaring exception.

So cool to see the shots from the F22 hit the water on the bottom left of the screen at 5:04 and on.

I love this pilot and his ability and commentary. Great job

I like the paint job, this is one of my top 5 favorite episodes from your channel!

"Not like this, not like this!" Lol that was a close one buddy. Nice moves!

You have dead man walking. That second Flanker was a dead man flying. GS was having fun toying with him there.

Asking a MIG to dogfight a Raptor is like pitting a toddler against Mike Tyson in a boxing match.

Everything you did from the finish to the barrage of missiles on that radar tower just reminded me on starscream

Honestly, that Lancer bomb run was more impressive looking than the Stratofortress carpet bombing from the other day.

Great video! You're a demon in the F-22.

Raptor playing with it's food, I like it.

Great video as usual. Also, that mirror finish Raptor is legit badass!

That close call over the drip was SICK!

That was dope asf. Love the videos man keep’em coming. IM A FAN!!

Love the B-1, such an awesome bomber. Great stuff!

Didn't think the F-22 could be sexier! GS never disappoints...TY! 👏

The B-1 is quite cool. It's apparently rather stealthy - has the radar profile of a seagull. When the B-1 first came out, apparently the soviet AF poomped a brick. They saw it as a bomber with the performance characteristics of an interceptor. They were not pleased.

All the Raptor content 🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸 Loving the chrome reflective paint job, if nothing else looks pretty awesome

Your videos are simply the best! Thank you

No its not, its an arcade. In reality such skin will reduce his stealth ability. Real F22 is covered by RAM - Radar Absorbent material ... absorbent ... not reflective :)

I'm amazed that head on pass with the flanker wasn't a mutual kill, also air to ground amraams brilliant.

This is my favorite vid yet!!

Excellent stuff. Especially the A to G amraam.

Literally within a couple FEET of the water on that first kill. Where it looked like not only was he trying to gun you after you removed his wing, but maybe trying to take you out with his ejection seat as well.

That was awesome, must've been frustrating for all the flankers and the J20 to just watch every single one of their missiles to come so close to but miss the ultimate John Cena of aircraft. Props to the second flanker, fought til the very end. Even tried to take GS out with the ejection lol, keep up the awesome videos GS. Much love
