Aerial combat is such a misleading name for it. There is no aerial combat anymore. It's done 1 - 2 miles from the enemy with Hell Fire missles. Fire and forget missle technology has made air combat boring and without drama.

Its more than 1-2 miles the new F-22 raptor has the ability to shoot down an enemy aircraft from up to 180 Miles away. Also However this technology is also saving many lives. And the common missles they use if shooting down an aircraft is a possibilty are the AMRAAMS (Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missles) and Sidewinders. The Hellfire Missles are used for air to ground not air to air.

Re: Awesome Russian aircraft video
Dispite Missles the dogfight capabilities are much higher as well. After hte mistake in the Vietnam War when they did not put a machine gun on the F-4 Phantom, ever since then all the aircraft have a canon,and /or a machine gun. The Zero could not out run, out climb, out fire, or out anything for that matter against the modern F-22 the Zero would pretty much stand no chance.

Re: Awesome Russian aircraft video
If I were a fighter pilot from another country and I wasn't in one of these I'd just quit and go home like the Frenchies.
