The MiG is a sitting duck throughout the maneuver and takes a long time to recover. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired The maneuver is obviously only a technical ability. As dog fighting goes a well planned first approach with missles always wins. A dogfight as a rule can be forced with the lost aircraft. A sucker aircraft and absorb/take the radar. after this occur a true missilefree dogfight happens. All free battle has an AMERICAN superior first strike built in. If this is lost, then what happens is a secondary senario occurs. An litteral aircraft to aircraft and attritionloss war. When attrition dictates a winner what happens? So large air battle planning fails when aircraft performance only dictates. |
