What about electro optical targetting systems? I thought that you turn off radar and use sensors to identify and fire at enemy aircraft.

With EOTS, I do not think there is any need to come close to enemy aircraft.

@@abes3925 As much as I see that line parroted, I really think that's a misunderstanding of the ATF program acquisition. Despite how much people suck off the YF-23, the F-22 was a superior place at the time of the competition. It's engines were more refined (as much as I like GE, the YF120 was just not a very good engine at the time and it would've hampered readiness and cost), the design as a whole was much more mature (meaning less time till it entered service), capable of carrying more missiles, a superior dogfighter, etc. There's also the fact that Northrop at the time was having issues with the B-2 program at the time being behind schedule and over budget (yes yes, I know about the struggles with the F-35 program but this was the 90's. Also Northrop wasn't trying to design an aircraft for 3 branches who don't like cooperating on designs). The proposal that Lockheed put forward was more mature and was likely to enter service sooner and cheaper than the YF-23. Military acquisition isn't always about getting the best thing possible, it's about the best thing possible for a cost that congress/the public will accept. Would the YF-23 have ended up a better aircraft? Possibly. Does that mean the F-22 wasn't the right choice? Not necessarily. TL;DR: Defense acquisition is more complicated than teenagers and casuals on the internet would like to think. Was there lobbying by LM? Almost certainly. Does that mean it was the reason the F-22 was selected? doubtful. Especially since Northrop almost certainly was lobbying as well.

Hey guys, I think GS *might* be proud of that cobra.

Canards are just another control surfaces, it's not inherently unstealthy The designers just have to align it to the rest of the surface, so that the radar waves are reflected into the same direction, ie away from the enemy And as far as I can see, the J-20 canards ARE edge aligned with the rest of the surface, which means it's indeed a stealthy design

Nowhere did they mention all RCS or obtaining anything new about the J-20.

I think the difference with the F35 is that it's an export fighter with multirole capabilities in an era where technology advancements allow for more standoff capability . There was probably some level of foresight when developing the F22 where stealth capabilities could lead to more dogfight scenarios, but technology at the time of development probably limited weapon systems more than weapon platforms.

to me, the F-35 is the replacement to the F-16's aging airframe and technology, and the F-22 was supposed to be the replacement to the F-15/F-18. One multirole stealth strike fighter, and one absolute air superiority stealth fighter.

The way you two birds danced talon to talon was phenomenal.

Your comment about the Countries not releasing combat capabilities reminded me of a ancient incident- Company was developing a tank strategy game in the 70's -:They contacted the US Govt for performance data of the M60 tank. Govt didn't give them the info, but did give them what they knew of the Soviet T-62 and 72. Company then contacted the Soviets requesting information - which they refused- but did give their information on the M60.... Was several years later that they found out both "estimates" were right on the money

Based on some recent footage from this year's Zhuhai airshow, the J20 seems actually has decent dogfighting potential. Especially now that its engine has been switched from Russian products to domestically-made ones, its maneuverability has improved significantly compared to previous years. In addition to "basic" maneuvers like cobra or falling leaf, it can even roll continuously off the speed vector at high AOA while still maintaining climb - a maneuver I haven't seen any other aircraft do. Maybe the F16 has done it, but at a much smaller AOA. On the other hand, though, it still has not had TVC, nor does it have a gun. Both of these should be a problem for extreme dogfighting scenarios.

No, GS and pretty much every REAL fighter pilot says its "mostly" useless under all but limited circumstances. You just saw the limited circumstance where its can be made to work. (And it would have gotten GS killed if that J20 had a wingman that was worth a shit, and positioned where a wingman should be ) Just sayin' (And yeah... it was a BITCHIN move.)

Loool ya the only reason it worked is because he made the mistake of having too much closure and not staying in my control zone. If he did that the cobra wouldn’t have worked.

@@GrowlingSidewinder ...but the real awesome thing here is you were aware enough to know what his plane is doing, know what options you have, then grabbed the one that fits that scenario at that moment the best. Your casual decision making skills mixed with your in-video lessons and reasoning is why you have become my go to channel for anything DCS or entertainment in general. Keep it up brother. You are creating something worth watching.

Canards increase a planes RCS from the sides, above and below. Since the both J-20A and B do not have gun for air to air combat. Its pretty much confirmed that they are missile trucks meant to target enemies at range and head on. They are expected to fire all their BVR missiles and then return to base to rearm and do it again. With their short range IR missiles there in case they are jumped or intercepted after firing the BVR missiles. But the J-20 is not meant to for close in fights, so it makes sense they only need stealth head on and from the rear.

Suggest for channel! We'd love to hear your discord conversations with your pals that fly against you. Gotta be interesting. Laughs and discussions on what they were attempting...just whole convo in general

Still anxiously waiting to see your video vs. the YF-23 you teased last time. lol

Was thinking the same thing....

I really want to see that cobra from the cockpit. That would be an awesome perspective.

If this based on what we know about the F22 I can only imagine what it can really do in real world theater. Oh and that turn was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥

8:20 was one of the best visuals I've seen come out of a sim. Well done Growling, well done indeed. One thing to talk about concerning the J-20 and flying stealth reliant profiles in general, is the importance of the frontal area/cross section of the jet. It's why they copied the front view, looking at the Raptor from head on, the J-20 copied the entire area forward of the wing root, inlets, sculpted the nose as an exact copy, etc. Like how the Russians copied the B-29 to make the TU-4, kind of copying. Why? They knew it was the most important part of stealth operations, penetrating the airspace, nose hot on the target area. It's why the Raptor drivers are some of the most intelligent and calm pilots in the cadre. They use small inputs and measured maneuvering, so that they are presenting that tiny frontal radar signature profile, to the sensors ahead. No quick aileron rolls, rapid pitch ups, or even coordinated turns. Slips and slides, while threading the threat needle through the threat envelopes of the weapon systems that are radiating or known via datalink and just "listening" so to speak. The jet was tuned in the BAF, at Edwards and all of it's sensors and systems for penetration, concentrated on maintaining that frontal profile being maintained as long as possible to the threat/s. Violent maneuvering while relying on stealth not to be detected/locked... isn't how Raptor was intended to be operated. That capability, what you showed at 8:20 is for when you have visual/busted by bad guys. A black hole in the radar spectrum only works if you keep the shiny side up as much as possible, especially since the RWR and other seriously important sensors are positioned along the lateral line of the jet, as you well know. Keep up the great work buddy!

F-22 would probably see the J-20 through the patriot system data link

China might see the same.

The fight we've been all waiting for!

It was like a move out of top gun. You hit the breaks and he flew right by lol

To say that Cunards aren’t stealthy would also mean rear stabilisers aren’t stealthy on the f 22 unless the engagement is mainly forward facing which would probably obscure them

Look at the mig 1.44, it has a lot of similarities in design. With a little f35 thrown in

Brother that cobra was smooth AF! Ya love to see it

That cobra was crazy! Like something out of a movie 🔥

I should tag you in on one of my most recent glider designs, on IG. With your knowledge of energy states, and turn rate, I'd like your opinion. That being said, it most certainly isn't a stealth design. At least not in its current configuration. Any chance of an F-35 vs. J-20 video?

he only knows how to play each aircraft to their strength. I'm not sure he also knows which exact airfoil design gives best performance for certain speeds and weights.

That freaking Cobra, Jesus freaking Christ, I’m in love again❤❤❤

Dogfighting is a very important key ability for a 5th gen fighter, but also able to shoot each other at long ranges is also important, if you want to build 5th gen fighter, you have to make sure they survive an close quarter encounter from a merge but also attack enemy aircraft from long distances without having any trouble whatsoever.

I’m not entirely certain that’s the case. Or at least the US doesn’t seem to believe it is. I say that because every render we’ve seen of six generation fighters from defense companies appear to be focusing less on mobility and more on overall stealth which suggests they are not really concerned about dog fighting so much as engagements at range.
