Here’s a nice Thrust vectoring Fighter jet that seems to be ahead of the game. The aircraft is also the first Russian aircraft with Hands On Throttle and Stick, or HOTAS, system. If it were painted black , it would almost look like Firefox.

F18 vs. Meg29 -- Does this video have any merit?

That is a work of art and a technological marvel.

Although it does look trippy , I don’t think the Su-47 "Berkut has Thrust vectoring. Which was something I was lead to believe makes all the difference in modern day airborne dog fights. O_o

I was actually looking for Israeli F-16 dog fights. Israeli also has a few F-18’s up and running too that would look sweet in combat. Hard to find tho.. Also what’s hard to find is any dog fights from the Gulf War. I mean ca-mon! There has to be something on record to show us how the coalition mopped up the Iraqi air force.

Um they bombed them on the ground. In all honesty the iraq airforce was just whooped, no dog fights as far as I know. If anything what was put up was shot up at range by long range missiles. In the second war, they had actulay burried there aircraft as sadam planed on using them after the war to put town any revults like happened after the first war.
