Ok well ur friend is a genius and i am an idiot satish....MIG25 was one of the fastest planes ever...and yet it was never considered the best dog fighter. similarly the Japanese ZERO fighters were much faster than what the americans threw at them...and yet zeros were shot down constantly....all siccsiors and barrel roll moves drain speed....if speed was everything why would u learn these moves and use them....
Okay you got me all wrong. Let us take you are flying at an altitude of 2000m from sea level and I am flying at 15000m above sea level. I am armed with a BVR missile and You are armed with a IR homing missile. I cant lock you on due to ground clutter and your missile cant fire in a frontal aspect because of the IR homing. so you have to close in at gun range. so you force me into a merge.
During the merge you will climb up and thus losing energy as you are defying gravity hence there is loss of speed... and I see that and I start climbing more. I still have energy left and by the time you catch up with me you shall lose your air speed thus forcing your fighter to stall. which is the chance always expected by the opponent. By the time you gain control you can see a 'rain' of lead or a 'lit cigarette' coming to you.
The opponents aircraft must also be taken into account. If I am flying a MiG 29 and if you are in a F 7PG then I will surely outaccelerate you and outclimb you and out turn you. There are many ways an engagement can take place. ENERGY IS THE KEY FOR AIR TO AIR VICTORY. Pakistani pilots are good at energy management. They wont do the stupid mistake. They would rather turn and fly instead of fighting the enemy's fight. Run today to fight tommorow.
Sir MuradK am I right or wrong?
