What will a fight between to stealth fighters even look like? How close do they have to get before they can detect let alone fire at each other?
Grayson Jenkins
They don't happen a lot now because most air combat is massively one-sided, and over barren deserts where you can't use terrain features to close the gap. Between two advanced and well trained air forces where both sides know how to defeat missiles in BVR? Yes, WVR engagements are guaranteed to happen. It may not be WW2 style dogfighting where planes are staying within 1000 ft of eachother, but I bet most kills would be within 3 miles.
Anyone got that webm of the Hornet killing a MiG?

Dog fights are rare, but that happens when you're fighting shit airforces such as kebabs. In a war with russia, most likely dog fights will be 50% of the air combat hapening. Let's not forget that the most succesfull vietnamese pilots were actually russians fiiling in for the gooks while the gooks got the glory on paper.

You're talking about the airforce who had to be grounded during the georgian war because they kept getting shot down by their own SAM launchers. The drunken clowns that make up the contemporary Russian military have nothing in common with the soviet golden age armed forces.

Did they turn inside each other at all? or did one fighter merely fire at the other within range with the other not responding. Take your time on this one.
Jackson Clark
don't underestimate the russians. the germans made that mistake once. And the georgian war, i don't think the russians considered the georgian war, a war, more like a party, drinking and shooting. Even a limited war with America or europe would be treated way more seriosly.

assuming that 2 decently equipped country have the capability of jamming the shit out of each other then yes visual confirmation and dogfight will most surely be happening
and that accounts everyone with the means to jam
Leo Fisher
Yes they do, since you rarely go from nothing to full blown war, and visual identification is commonplace in peacetime.
Justin Wilson
you mean the moscowtimes report that claimed russia lost 2 migs because of friendly fire?
the same report that we are waiting to see since 2009 and hasnt surfaced as of yet?

In a real war they would. Not in fake wars like Iraq and Afghanistan.
