He let the crew bail out. It was the noble thing to do

Its engines engulfed by fire, the behemoth shuddered, lurched forward, and fell towards its inevitable watery fate. Behind the smoky reflective veil of his helmet visor, the fighter pilot smirked to himself. A predator; a reaper; a manifestation of death itself, he opens the comms. His voice, the very sound of oblivion on the wind, crackles on the radio... "Okie, byyyye! :3"

Raptor sneaking on enemy planes just never gets old.

It never gets old seeing GS sneak up on enemy fighters with the F-22 and the fact that this is based off of what the Air Force is willing to release to the public makes the F-22 probably more terrifying in actual combat. Plus seeing him sneak up oon those two J-11s at the beginning of the video reminded me of the time that 2 F-22s snuck up on 2 Iranian F-4 phantoms, looked at their armaments and ttold them to go home. Also I'm questioning whether what GS did to that AWACS requires a review of the Geneva convention 😂😂.

GS truly reaching new heights with the surgical precision of his fuckery, like a kid pulling the wings off a fly one by one.

Just thinking about strategy; would it have made a more intense outcome if the F-18s had split into a forward and aft group? The forward group fires first, then 5-10 minutes later the second group dispatches their harpoons. While the carrier escorts are busy defending the first group of harpoons, the stealth AGMs hit and disable all the escorts. The escorts are now unable to defend the second group of harpoons, putting more ordinance on the carrier. Just a thought.

@@Joseph_HamiltonNone, that's my point. Welfare state requires resources that empires invest into military forces and influence. The US has a modicum of welfare due to the ravages of the Great Depression but it's heavily privatized and far from EU standards. Russia is a joke and so is China. With the difference that Russia's military is heavily underperforming due in no small part to corruption and China's is untested (and heavily corrupted too).

2:52 flash back to when GS was in a Flanker and the Raptor formed up on his wing 😂 15:38 that cinematic was beautiful

Surprised there weren't any E/A-18Gs in the mix, because those could help with both the AWACs and ship based radar situation and and make the F-22 even more imbalanced on top. I suppose that would even be more lopsided than this scenario.

I'd love to see some Air-to-Ground with you flying the F-35 Lightning.

I've been a huge fan of the cinematic 'salvo' shots you've been using lately. First the Raptor wall AMRAAMs and now the Hornet Harpoon Hailstorm.

The tours I was Korea as a US Army Soldier I will always appreciate, the South Korean people were so kind and respectful which was great and the South Korea Military ALSO AWSOME . I was treated so good while stationed there . Mama's restaurant and cowboy/ S. Korean SMG were very kind to us always and they were very close to Suwon Airbase. Thank you all so much and God bless

"I gave them time to get out. So, they should be thanking me." Yeah, after you snuck up on their flying radar dish in a plane with an RCS of a bee and clipped their engines one-by-one.

Love the combined arms mission approach, especially when it involves naval strikes/defense! Also never gets old watching you the Raptor sneak up and count the enemy’s freckles before dispatching them/surgically removing engines 😂 Thanks for pumping out such great content.

That last shot of you flying under the overturned exploding chopper was awesome!

Instead of shooting the engines off what would happen if you shot the dish off the top ?
