*This film has been made using in-game footage from DCS WORLD by Eagle Dynamics. Sound design and visual effects have been added for dramatic purposes.* © 2023 - J.P. FERRE - Do not redistribute this video. Hi all! I'm thrilled to present my new 16 minutes short film DCS: BULLDOGS. This project took 9 months in the making and depicts a fictional CAS mission with radio coms between A-10 pilots and a JTAC. The challenge was to be as realistic as possible, so all dialogues and procedures have been overseen by a real life JTAC!! Expect to see something they don't show you everyday in Hollywood movies :) For the third time, this new production has been made with the precious help from the Joint Task Force Francophone (JTFF). Hope you'll enjoy! Please, let me know what you think in the comments below! Thank you so much for your support, it always means a lot!!! Fly safe. Fly Metal.

A superb production. The realistic radio comms added a lot, and really makes this video “stand out” from the crowd … certainly from the big screen Hollywood films that ignore or distort such things! Realistic comms really highlight the cool professionalism demanded by JTACS and pilots in the high stress of combat.

This is a work of art! If this was a trailer for a full feature length film, I'd be booking cinema tickets right now!

Former Hog driver here. Nicely done old-school mission. 90% of the critical time wasted with excessive comm has been eliminated nowadays by the use of SADL/Link 16.

Wow! I have no words! This is the most realistic and exciting A-10 cinematic I've ever seen! Outstanding work my friend! Loved the comms work! The music gave me goosebumps, and nothing like hearing a good A-10 gun fire to spark up the day! I was so invested I wanted more lol!

Nothing sounds better than the sound of freedom! A-10's baby!

I appreciate you taking time to make a video showing the A-10 in a deeper manner. I’m just a retired Army Infantryman so my input is from my experiences with the A-10 in two wars. The A-10 only carries a set amount of flares so they can only evade so many SAM’s/MANPAD’s before they’re in a vulnerable position. The Air Force keeps a close eye on enemy activity on the ground which they get constant updates from various sources including the US Army. They do this so they know which areas are high risk to slower aircraft like the A-10 and helicopters. In a forested terrain, the A-10 will drop down to NOE level to avoid direct observation that MANPAD launchers rely on more than larger SAM systems, IR tracking missiles are a difficult threat to detect when they launch so they tend to have an AWACS scanning for all missile activity in a sector they’re traveling through. Flying NOE (Nape Of the Earth) and sometimes even lower is a sure way to avoid most missile systems detection but it requires strict focus from the pilot. If there’s friendly forces not far from where the MANPADS and SAM’s launched from AWACS can request Army attack helicopters to do a hunter-killer mission to find and destroy the enemy that fired on the birds. Another option is 155mm artillery, with modern munitions the artillery can take out pinpoint targets within 30 miles but the artillery doesn’t always have too many of those special munitions so it has to be critical before they’ll approve the use for a single MANPAD site but, they will gladly use them on a SAM site. A-10’s we’re designed to take out enemy vehicle columns and of course, tanks, lots of tanks but they found that the A-10 was an excellent platform for various stand-off weapons and bombs so, they turned it into a flying dump truck, lol. So it can do massive bombing runs and I’ve seen that myself and I almost feel sorry for the house those poor Iraqi bad guys were in since it collapsed on top of them when the A-10 hit it, this was in the winter of 2003 on the south side of Baghdad near Al-Rashid where my unit was posted (FOB Muleskinner/Camp Cuervo) I was in 2-6 Infantry, 1st Armor Division. I mention these details just to give a better context to what we did there for those who like to track unit locations and activities. We were later put on FOB St. Michael’s which was a hell hole, we got hit daily but the Iraqi’s sucked at being accurate. We rarely called in air strikes and just used the 3 155mm M-109’s on the FOB to fire back when we got mortared. So if you ever wanted to make a video then hopefully I provided some information to make it interesting. I’m not saying this video was not interesting, just thoughts for a future video. That said, the way A-10’s are used in the European theater is a bit different since we know there’ll be tanks coming out of the demon hole so then the A-10 will be in her original environment and so will I as an 11H, Heavy Anti Armor Weapons Infantryman where we use the TOW system to engage tanks starting at 4,000 meters. It takes about 15 seconds for the missile to reach that distance and nothing survives a good hit (if the missile is aimed at the tracks, it’ll just blow apart the tracks and suspension and not penetrate the crew compartment which is a waste of a missile since I’ll have to fire another missile to kill it.

I just found your channel today and I must say that your videos are the best DCS videos on KZread without a doubt. 10/10. You've got a talent for this my friend. Keep it up

Awesome!!!!

The slow mo with the Maverick..... just brilliant!! 👌

Awesome. Thank you for your time and for sharing your art with us once again, JP. 🤩

I just watched this video and I gotta say, AMAZING JOB!!! The JTAC did a phenomenal job with calling in the fire missions, the pilots executed them flawlessly, the cinematography was stunning, and the overall communication between the pilots, command and ground was spectacular!

I have the upmost respect for anyone who can fly these and im blown away at the people who can fly them on DCS, im learning and studying the controls but i will be playing soon

This was done really well. I was aircrew on AWACS and this was pretty on the nose. I will say nowadays a lot of the comm between the JTAC and the A-10 would be mitigated by Link-16/SADL. This is outstanding work!!

Fry 100g guanciale, add 350g pasta to the pan & swirl in the fat, add thick mix of 100g pecorino, 4 eggs(+1yolk for rich flavour), ton of pepper, pasta water take off heat, stir, serve fresh

Maybe the most accurate air support movie, well done!

WOW that was awesome thanks man

I don't remember so much Com traffic, from our F.O. to the birds but we had a different R.O.E. than the boys who came after us. During D.S. it was the old way of troops, tanks, building fire for effect. We had two great F.O.s in my Platoon 1/504th PIR, they never had to call for fire but we listened to 325 call for it a lot over the radio. I was just a basic Infantryman with a Radio strapped on my back. One morning I woke up to hearing Apache's making a run on a column of Armor, I am like anyone else hearing this shit? Of Course the 25's weren't able to pick it up so everyone near me listened into the Attack over my headset. I hated those 5 tons, my seat with a Radio strapped to me was 5 Claymore mines, if you know how we set them off, you would understand a Radio and a Claymore are not very friendly to each other.

Un grand grand bravo JP pour ce nouveau projet qui pose les standards.... Superbe travail sur le script et sur les voiceover, un régal ! Merci de nous donner la chance de participer sur tes projets !

Comme d habitude JP , un travail de qualité rendant hommage tant à DCS, qu aux pilotes réels et virtuels !!! Encore merci et bravo pour ces créations passionnées et de qualités inégalées !

После заключения соглашений в Осло (1993) возникла Палестинская автономия (Газа тогда была ее частью), и израильтяне начали поэтапный уход с оккупированных территорий. Это повлекло не только самостоятельность, но и разрыв части хозяйственных связей. Поэтому за первые три года частичной независимости ВВП сектора Газа упал на треть. Потом связи стали восстанавливаться, и к концу 1990-х жизнь вроде бы наладилась. Но в 2000-м началась интифада Аль-Акса (общепалестинская война арабов против евреев), и хозяйственные выгоды отошли на задний план. В 2005-м, чувствуя, что ситуация зашла в тупик, Израиль осуществляет так называемое одностороннее размежевание - эвакуирует из сектора еврейских поселенцев и выводит войска. После чего в Газе происходит политическая мутация. В 2006-м на последних свободных выборах там побеждает ХАМАС. А в 2007-м Газа под его руководством отделяется от остальной Палестинской автономии, в которой власть удержал менее радикальный, чем она, ФАТХ. Все функционеры ФАТХа, кого хамасовцы не успели убить, бежали через Израиль к родным палестинам, а Газа превратилась в де-факто отдельное государство, всепоглощающей идеологией которого стала борьба с Израилем на уничтожение. ХАМАС действовал совсем иначе. Он сразу объявил всех евреев врагами, войну против них назвал священным джихадом, а всю политическую программу свел к очень простой и понятной всем формуле - уничтожение Израиля и израильтян. Нападения на Израиль, ракетные и наземные, происходили теперь регулярно, но это уживалось с сохранением некоторых хозяйственных связей. Накануне нынешней войны Израиль бесплатно поставлял в сектор 70-80% потребляемой там электроэнергии и снабжал Газу нормальной питьевой водой - качество местной очень низкое. Из Израиля туда поступали также еда, медикаменты и топливо для местных предприятий. Во-первых, Израиль не мог перекрыть границу Газы с Египтом, и именно через нее в Газу неформальным порядком проникало довольно много всего. Поэтому ракеты там все равно производились, и в огромных количествах, а бункеры по-прежнему сооружались, нравилось это Израилю или нет. Спору нет, сначала интифада, а потом приход к власти ХАМАС резко ухудшили жизнь в Газе. По мнению Международной организации труда, к 2020-му подушевой ВВП там был на 40% ниже, чем в 2005-м. Но дело даже не в таких подсчетах, которые применительно к Газе достаточно умозрительны. Движение Газы к сегодняшней катастрофе было довольно последовательным. Другим системообразующим фактором стала деятельность UNRWA, Агентства ООН для помощи палестинским беженцам. Его финансируют в основном страны Запада, а многочисленных работников (это тысячи учителей, врачей и других служащих) оно набирает на месте. Именно в активе UNRWA очевидные успехи образования и медицины в Газе. Но попутно оно избавило ХАМАС от многочисленных невоенных забот, по существу сделавшись его гражданским подразделением. Никакого контроля со стороны западных спонсоров над ним нет. Обучение в школах подчинено идеологии ХАМАС и осуществляется в атмосфере исступленных идеологических накачек. Третий важнейший фактор - демографический взрыв. Население Газы за последние 70 лет выросло в восемь раз и достигло 2,1 млн. Сейчас рождаемость идет на убыль, но новый народ уже возник. Совместима ли нынешняя его численность с крошечной территорией (360 кв. км) - вопрос к специалистам, которые, по-моему, не знают ответа. Четвертый фактор - внешнее финансирование военной машины ХАМАС. В первую очередь, иранское. Но средства, поступающие из Катара и других стран, не прямо, так косвенно, идут на те же цели. Поэтому у режима ХАМАС есть редкое преимущество. Он не нуждается в домашней экономике, которая бы его содержала. Его гражданские потребности оплачивает ООН (а до недавнего времени также Израиль), а военные - боевые товарищи извне. Из этого вытекает пятый фактор - любая хозяйственная деятельность в секторе Газа, не завязанная на агрессию, в глазах режима выглядит чем-то вроде необязательного приложения. Больше половины рабочей силы - безработные, получающие от ООН и других спонсоров убогое, но достаточное для пропитания пособие. А те, кто где-то занят (их 250-300 тыс.), либо служат в частях ХАМАС и других боевых организаций (только их суммарно около 50 тыс.), либо трудятся в военном строительстве и кустарной военной промышленности, либо обеспечивают хамасовскую машину необходимыми ей услугами. Тех, кто вне этой системы, просто меньше. Кто-то из них бежит из Газы (примерно по 10 тыс. в год), кто-то пытается выбраться в Израиль, кто-то барахтается в остатках местной экономики. Важно, что режим без них всех легко может обойтись. Три предварительных вывода 1. У режима ХАМАС нет не только идейных, но и материальных мотивов для какого-либо мирного перерождения. Он вполне гармоничен, опирается на семидесятилетнюю местную традицию и может быть либо уничтожен, либо сохранен таким, как есть. Перевоспитать его, комбинируя давление и уступки, невозможно. 2. Сектор Газа как целое и его жители порознь не имеют никакого опыта мирного существования за собственный счет. Имеющиеся у большинства из них навыки нацелены на отправление идеологических и боевых практик, а не на труд обычного типа. Предоставить их самим себе в надежде, что они как-то справятся, нереалистично.

Love the accuracy of the radio chattering

Very good video👍 Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨

Single best short movie i've seen in a while. Shots were amazing. So were the comms. I was really pulled into it. You're in a league of your own. Congratz!

Amazing !!!

I love this why? Well it captures well the streets these pilots have to go Thur knowing that down there the more longer it takes the more of them get trauma and the fact that you know it’s over that was captured well!

Being ex Air Force (72/76), the F4 is my favorite Fighter and the A10 is my favorite air to ground attack platform. I will also throw in the F4U4 Corsair to round out my top 3.

Had to share this with my friends. Excellent work, and proof of why the A-10 will always have a place in the hearts of infantrymen everywhere.

Cinematography - outstanding, the best shot for shot military aviation video or DCS video I’ve ever seen. The level of detail for this, incredible. Sound effects and music and detail are absolutely out of this world for this type of content. Voiceover mixing… I hate to say is lacking. I was looking forward to watching this at home on the big screen and with my theater stereo system. I could not understand 90% of what was said throughout the whole short film. Only from the amazing visuals and my knowledge of check in, show of force, 9-line etc I knew what was going on. Watched the whole thing again on my phone and could understand voiceover.

Wow. Phenomenal. I've been planning something like this for a few months now too, and I can onlly hope to come close to this quality. Simply amazing, friend.

Simply epic. Radio is excellent. And the slowmo maverick scene was one for the feels.

Air Force Ammo Troop here 1993-1992 stationed Osan Air Base 1986, Davis Monthan A.F..B. A-10 Training Wing, OIF 2004 -2005 Camp Anaconda and 2009. loved the video. A-10 Ammo for life!

Yet another wonderful movie!! My wife and I loved voicing in this one! These movies just keep getting better and better!

Oh hell yeah!!!

Gotta love those outstanding readback

I've been writing my own military story, and I appreciate creators and all contributors who strive for accuracy and realism while remaining compelling. Perhaps one day, my own work will be as good and impactful as this (it probably won't ever happen, but what's wrong with dreaming?).

Eyes glued to the monitor from the first to the last second!! A Masterpiece, and one of the most intense fights that could be portrayed cinematically!!

This is absolutely stunning! I'm trying to make a dcs video myself but cannot work the cameras to get shots nearly as good as this. Everything about this was masterfully done!

Just incredible work done on this video - once I got into, I forgot I was watching a simulation and I was lucky enough to have seen A-10's in action while stationed at Fort Drum, New York back in the early 80's.

Its the same way when Apache helicopters come into sector on deployments. any aviation that comes into a unit's battlespace for a patrol, they will contact the unit's battle space HQ and let them know how many vehicles and what they are carrying. That gives the HQ a ballpark figure as to how they can conduct actions on contact when they are engaging the enemy.
