As it turns out, many of the dinosaurs didn't die immediately. The collision would have created a lot of smoke and dust debris, which trapped much of the heat from the sun, and the sun killed stuff over the course of many years. Still not everything, though. Many dinosaurs survived even that, and now they're birds. Mammals survived well. Especially smaller ones, and ones which were capable of hibernation. Indeed, our ancestor and every ancestor of every living species today survived the collision and its after effects. Here we are.

110 Phantoms were modernized in the Luftwaffe whereas there were only 24-something MiG-29s. They put a Hughes-APG-65-Radar, AMRAAMS and other stuff on the Phantoms so I guess it was too complicated and costly to integrate all this on a Russian jet. Also the Phantom already had an aerial refueling capability.

The scream right at the hit.

I've only just come across this video and I have to say, it's *THE BEST* F-16/MiG-29 video I've seen. Not because you were "splashed" but we all know that the DCS MiG-29 (and Su-27) aren't really go-to aircraft - but when equipped with similar missiles, it really evens the playing field - much in the same way you'd expect it in real life. With real-life combat, you've always had Western aircraft going up against substandard opponents whose countries don't really train their pilots so it's not as though they've gone up against Soviet/Russian since the Korean War.

I think that's the first time I've seen you lured in.. Those Meteors are nuts.

Excellent video as usual! I have a question: would use of the 120D make a difference, and if so, why aren't they used in DCS as often as the 120c? It seems from a cursory search that quite a few of the Ds have been made, so I am confused. Thanks!

"Disintegrated In Action" this one is really crack me up so hard!!!

very useful tip i learned last last week. You can lock *air* targets on the HSD and they will show on your HUD. With or without a target lock. gotta align HMCS for better accuracy also no, you cant track multiple targets. Just one.

That last missile hit so hard, I felt it in my soul.

6:49 : "Everytime I bring my head up, he shoots at me." I feel there's a "that's what she said"-joke lurking.

Honestly, man one of the funniest vids you ever did just when you were getting opto he totally hit you with a meteor like bang oh shit!

Also I think I’ve just realised why I’ve been having trouble with the F-16 recently I’ve been slapping the jammer on during startup by accident as it’s near the rwr switches, hence why my targets get picked up by awacs and I can’t lock them for the life of me. 🤣😂 I was switching bars of scan and elevation Frantically 🤣🤣
