F-16 Evades SIX Surface to Air Missiles! HUD Footage Breakdown

visually without getting knocked down, so it's like, hey, you're still there. because this is, I mean, this is real life, they just took one down and they're trying to gather strength and get out together, so there's another one, so defending six that's a sa-6 um, so they must have changed the sa-6 is a much more formidable missile that is not, you know, the sa-2, yes, it's a big 35 foot telephone pole, the sa-6 is much more capable and has much more power in play, so defeating him is much more challenging than sa2 oh wow and dude there he goes there's a surge and over and over again every time he thinks he has a break there's Another Sam that's right behind him he just needs to get out of there and that's six and a half g's on your body, so I mean this is a physical exercise for him, it's incredible now that he's risking going down to triple a, being reduced to 10,000 feet he's breathless I would be too incredibly happy every time he thinks he's safe he's defending himself against another missile this is amazing so that's one of the other flights saying hey what's your position relative to direction 0.9 so just trying to get back together to see where they're all gathering forces now it's below ten thousand feet but it's coming out, it's on the right course so it's maneuvering to try to defeat the target acquisition radar, it's gone into air fight mode and air- air. and it's climbing incredible, it became very slow at 200 knots, so it doesn't have much maneuvering potential at this speed, so it goes back to sailing mode, which is the center position, and that's it, so it came out of the type bad. lands, oh man, uh, yeah, that's what I recommend watching it without me talking, it's pretty intense, so the main thing they talk about is that it didn't have any flares, I don't know, so I blew up the block 30. uh. obviously I blew block 30 15 years after this, uh 17 years after this, so a lot of software has changed, but usually when you use chaff flare I don't know what it was like in the early days of block 30, but I may not have ever pressed the sema switch, the countermeasure switch because I never heard him say chad flair chaff flare, that could have been something they added later or he could have been pressing it and nothing came out, but to me that explains why he came. back and nothing came because he just never hit him, but that's really interesting, you know, if he was hitting him, nothing happened or whatever, but he defeated six Sams and I think a couple were sa2, so the big ones telephone poles and a couple were sa. -6, which are really lethal

surface

missiles

and that's impressive.

I mean, that just shows that you know his head was out the whole time trying to find the missile because to defeat him in the game if you're not. using countermeasures, you're not using jamming or anything like that, you have to physically defeat the missile with the jet and he did that, I mean, he physically defeated the

missiles

by failing in the game, we talked about it back in the day. enemy lines and a couple other Pakistani movie missiles don't chase, so once they are defeated, that's it, they fly into nowhere. um he's not being chased by a missile, they're shooting six at him and I think something like this.

It would have been much more realistic television and much more interesting than what they did, where they made the Wiley Coyote missile that you know plays chicken with them and then flies and then chases them up the mountain and all that, so anyway , but this. It's a really intense video. Look at it. It's a fascinating story. The whole operation is fascinating. In the end two F-16s were lost. This F-16 we see returned safely, but many lessons learned emerged. of the planning and execution phase of the strike mission and how we lost two F-16s, but a really interesting hud tape, very intense and scary, so anyway I hope you're having a great week, I hope you enjoyed it , thanks for watching.

See you next time, sorry, oh actually, it's okay with the doors closed, don't be an idiot, that's rule number one, get them to tell you now.
