F5 VS Mig21 A Collaboration with the Grim Reapers | Best of Aviation Series
Let's take a look at a battle between F5 Tigers and MiG21 Fishbeds
Hi everyone, today we will be doing something a little different. Instead of a single airplane bio we will look at two aircraft that faced off against each other in actual combat and what the results were. The first part of the video we will look at each aircraft individually, and give you a quick overview of the conflict. The second part of the video my good friends over at Grim Reapers will fly both sides of the combat using DCS. Ready? Here we go, we will start with the F-5:
F-5 Overview
The Northrop F-5E Tiger II is a lightweight multirole fighter which is an upgraded version of the F-5A Freedom Fighter. Upgrades to the engines, avionics, and structural improvements allow the F-5E to fly faster, carry more fuel and weapons, and have significantly improved sensors. All of this was done while keeping the F-5E an easy to maintain, inexpensive to fly, and highly maneuverable fighter. The F-5E is still in use today as an aggressor or adversary aircraft by the US Navy, and is still operational with over 25 countries. The Tiger II has and continues to make its mark on military aviation.
MiG-21 Overview
The Mikoyan-Guervich MiG-21 is a lightweight Mach 2 fighter and interceptor codenamed Fishbed by NATO. Initially developed by the Soviet Union, the Mig-21 is still operational for several air forces more than six decades after its first flight and is the world's most produced supersonic aircraft. The MiG-21's delta wing design allows for high speeds and incredible climb rates, but does result in rapid energy loss in a turning dogfight. However its easy to maintain, easy to fly, ruggedness has earned the MiG-21 its reputation and cemented its place in aviation history.
Both the F5 and MiG 21 were lightweight fighters that were easy to maintain and inexpensive to operate. They would encounter each other in combat in the skies over the horn of Africa. During 1977 through 1978, Somali forces invaded the Ethiopian region of Ogaden. This became known as the Ogaden war.
My good friends over at Grim Reapers will fly this mission inside the F-5s using Eagle Dynamics DCS. Enjoy!
