Russian fighters defeat American F-15С

105
As the gearmix.ru, with a link to theaviationist.com, 2004 data on demonstration battles were recently declassified, in which the pilots of the Indian Air Force on MiG-21-93 “Bizon” and Su-30 MKI “Irkut” fighters inflicted a crushing defeat on the American pilots on the F-15C and F-16C fighters / D USAF with 9: 1 score. It is also noted that the Russian aircraft have become worthy opponents for the newest French Mirage-2000C, Mirage-2000-5 and Mirage-2000N.

It is worth noting that these types of aircraft are close in technical characteristics, but the Russian Irkuts and Bisons showed the best results when piloting in close combat. According to British pilots who tested Russian fighters, these are “machines of an incredible class.”

As gearmix.ru notes, the Americans explained their defeat by the fact that on their part the pilots of the private wing of the Air Force participated in the training battles, while the Indian team had a lot of aces trained by Russian instructors.

"We came to America to face off with the best pilots of the world, including from the Netherlands and Germany, and the statement by the Americans about the weak composition of their team is no more than an excuse," French pilots said in turn.

            The radio interceptions of the pilots' conversations were especially crippled. Russian profanity, closely woven into the training process of Indian pilots, led Amer pilots into a stupor and into a position "drinking deer". laughing What the Indians took advantage of.

          Spratniki in general in a military sense - ZERO! More precisely - minus infinity! Suffice it to recall the emergency landing of the Russian Su-27 (lost orientation) at the Lithuanian airfield several years ago. So the F-16 officers on duty from NATO took off "to intercept" when negotiations on the return of the aircraft and the pilot had been going on for several hours ...

        There was already information on the site that the flight time of the Indians is the largest in the world - 200 hours a year. We have 150 hours in Russia. Ukrainians have about 50 hours. Here is the result.
        MiG-21 is still giving out to the adversaries. Our boys (from Kazakhstan) laid eyes on Grippen and Rafal. And the one and the other on the wing are very reminiscent of our MiG-21s. In close maneuverable combat, he is still that beast, who will yield to few. hi

    Well, and how often in modern conflicts did melee arise / can occur? Modern fighters are platforms for transporting and launching missile weapons with a range of several km. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness, it is necessary to compare detection / camouflage systems and electronic warfare, as well as fire control systems and effective combat load.

      Signs of close combat, which has a rich history, are considered to be visual communication between maneuvering opponents and the use of short-range weapons - IR-guided air-to-air missiles and cannons. The most likely conditions for the start of close combat:

      after the frustration of a frontal attack, when opponents seek to continue the confrontation;

      in case of detection of the enemy at a short distance, excluding the use of medium-range missiles;

      in case of interceptor engagement with an attack aircraft or helicopter.

      From the composition of the mixed ammunition, the pilot selects missiles with a thermal seeker or a gun. The missile heads are snapped, sent along a moving line of sight to the target, capture it; Aiming is carried out by ILS, start - by a signal in the headphones.

      Unlike ranged combat, which begins with a struggle "for information," in close combat, a struggle is waged "for position." The best position for attack (use of weapons) is behind the target at a small angle at a short distance. To invade a limited area of ​​possible attacks, opponents seek to "maneuver" each other. The advantage is captured by those with a large excess of traction and turning speed in any plane.

      Close combat is based on the close and inextricable link between maneuver and fire. Attempts to violate the equality of these components were made repeatedly, but led to negative results. American Phantom aircraft, which surpassed the MiG-21 in firepower, were defeated in maneuverable battles: excessive weight of the aircraft reduced survival rates. The Syrian MiG-23 interceptors also hit hard in battles with light F-16 fighters, and the MiG-25 high-altitude interceptor was not at all introduced into a mobile battle environment at medium altitudes.

These are very high-quality cars, one must clearly understand that the pros at the helm will not leave a chance for the "21". Another thing is that the Americans really do not have such professionals - they are used to fighting "with convenience", in the absence of any opposition.

The whole doctrine of today's US Air Force is based on overwhelming numerical and technical superiority, in addition, in the light of the development of drones, as well as the capabilities of modern weapons, it is assumed that air combat issues are now losing relevance.

Unfortunately, I probably won’t find a link to the article now - I read it about four months ago ..

          But I know that the training courses of the US Air Force take the action of their own aviation in the minority as the basic basis of training. It is believed that a US Air Force pilot must be able to win in conditions of an overwhelming numerical superiority of the enemy, which plays on the same famous Top Guns, where at the first stage instructor pilots work in the minority against "cadets", and as a rule win. As the local instructors said, "we must break the stereotype - there are more of us, we are better armed - we will win." Training in isolation from electronic warfare and AWACS systems is mandatory. Unmanned aerial vehicles (USAF) are of course different, here in fact the emphasis is still more on technological superiority.
          At the same time, the quality of the Air Force is generally put at the forefront of the entire US military machine. Therefore, it’s better not to look, it’s some kind of stereotypical sketch.

          PS You are some kind of collection of stereotypes. ) The very concept of using the Pentaon man has always consisted not of replacing a person with an automaton, but of helping an automaton with a person. This is the whole American ideology since the 60s and it can be traced everywhere. Who has tanks with automatic loader. and who has a black man? Who has a docking machine in space, who has a manual one? who has 60 crews on submarines, and who has 130 crews with the same displacement. There are many such examples.

    In no case should a person be underestimated. The fact that they have qualified specialists is undeniable. But the fact that they come up with various excuses in the event of their defeat, well, they can’t openly say that the American army screwed up. They, by definition, should be the best, but only recently they too often wipe their nose. We have an obvious superiority in the quality of technology, let's hope that this will remain so. I never doubted the strength of the spirit of a Russian person.

    All such articles should be treated with healthy skepticism.
    Firstly, it was precisely the melee, because
    Under the terms of the demonstration battles, the United States was limited in the use of long-range missiles and airborne early warning radars of multi-frequency action. Similarly, Indian pilots were forbidden to use the Russian-equipped Bars radars and missiles of the same class.
    http://www.yaplakal.com/forum3/st/0/topic804849.html А вообще оригинал статьи на английском похоже вот тут http://theaviationist.com/2014/05/02/cope-india-2004-results/
    But since I understand English a little better than a piglet in oranges, I won’t translate.
    As I understand it, there was a ban on AMRAAm. Well, in close combat, the old F-15 against the Su-30 with a dvigl with a variable thrust vector, with a decent helmet-mounted guidance system, with optical-location stations ... Where? :))))
    In the BVB, our planes are obviously better, but this is not a reason to shout "I'll kill everyone, I'll stay alone."
    And I would not advise to treat Indian pilots down. They are driven not in a childish way, with an annual raid of up to 300 hours. True, they and we seem to have differently considered flight hours, so you can’t compare the direct raid of a warrior of the Russian Air Force and Indian winged kshatriya, but they are serious guys.

    Games are not a real air battle. At long range, the detection range and missile range are decisive. Maneuverability and aerobatics are needed only in order to evade a rocket flying into the forehead, and a combat pilot is hardly capable of this.

      Not a range, but an opportunity. If you wanted to protect American planes in this statement, then without knowing it, give arguments in favor of the Russians.

      Before Vietnam, the Yankees also thought so, until the Phantoms began to burn like candles am If you think that the probability of being hit by a missile is absolute, then you are greatly mistaken. During air battles over the Indo-Chinese jungle in 1965-1973, the American AIM-7 medium-range missiles hit the target only in 10-15% of all launches In other words, the American plan of "notice first, attack first" practically failed.

      Well, this is not for you to judge. In the Ethiopian-Eritrean war, the Su-27 and MiG-29 pilots somehow managed to dodge the R-27 missiles during air battles. And these are African pilots (!!!) who did not differ in the best piloting skills .

    Russian is not picky and not spoiled.
    The main indicator of success is personal qualities - the skill of a specialist! And we are teaching this to our friends too!
    The Americans have other approaches - besides those. and fire, it is a requirement for comfort and safety. As a result, the basis of victory is a machine, not a person.
    Hence the reservations about old equipment, lack of preparedness, lack of Coca-Cola in the morning, air conditioning in the barracks, and so on and so forth.

    An example is not dark:
    In the 1996 year, the Americans showed interest in the 3's rifle, I suggested trying on and going down, they did not trustingly squint and politely refused. But we were also very surprised that our group, with equipment from the beginning of the 60 years, had an 2 performance that was higher than their current one.

What would the article lay balm for the soul is not enough a little, news that our factories produce our machines massively. And we have? You yourself know that production compared to the times of the USSR is not very large. Industry is struggling now, but the adversary is now clearly an overwhelming advantage. Only our developed air defense system balances the odds today. It’s too early to rest on its laurels, it is necessary to raise industry and aircraft construction if not five, 5th generation aircraft should be delivered at least 5 dozen each.

          I also write to resist. He has enough "flaws" at the moment. The VAF wrote about the weak traction armament, but good maneuverability (due to which he beat the adversaries, he has no other option, only short-range maneuverable combat).
          At our aviation training ground, he saw him most of all when he served. Kant (where the Russian airbase is now based) and Tokmok in Kyrgyzstan. They were based at these airfields. In Lugovoi (Kazakhstan) MiG-23,29. Frunze MI-8,24 helicopters. These are all the airfields that we served. But this is understandable, the school was for foreigners who bought and had these aircraft and turntables in service. MiG-21 was the most common.

    I don't know if anyone posted this video or not.
    You probably watched the movie "Stealth", and so, our SU-37s showed themselves quite well in Dogfight.
    Of course, our guys were beaten (it couldn’t have been any other way, the film is from China). But our planes, if we assume that they are 4++ generation, fought almost equally with their “6th” generation.

    According to the film, the territory where the battle took place was announced as North Korea or China, but in fact it is the Russian Federation. If you watch without translation, you can hear it.
