Can’t believe I watched the whole thing, god the entire video is so… masturbatory.

• PL-15, literally the newest A2A missile ever fielded and a significant kinematic advantage over AIM-120. Nope, can barely score two hits with a 20 missile salvo. Also always launched from max range to minimize chance to hit I guess.

• PL-12, estimated to be equal to AIM-120C. Scored like 1 hit after a 100 something missile salvo.

• AIM-120D, don’t ever misses, downs dozens upon dozens of aircrafts while barely taking losses. “Once again proves the united states’s advantage in missile technology”.

• Evasive maneuvers against modern A2A missiles: If the F-18s do it, it always works, 98% effectiveness against anything. If the flankers do it, it never works. They might as well be flying straight, would have the same results.

• Missile salvo of 30 sea skimming cruise missile toward a carrier: All intercepted, no problem.

• A small salvo of Harpoons, pretty much the most obsolete ship to ship missile still in service, okay the 054A made a valiant effort but can’t intercept them all. Also the CIWS can do nothing against a subsonic target.

• DF-21D. From the late 2000s and highly experimental. Not perfected until DF-17 and 26 from recent years. Functions flawlessly at max range and we only lost the carrier due to this wunderwaffe.

• Okay we lost but we are against overwhelming odds also we intentionally placed multiple handicaps on ourselves. And we still had an exchange ratio of like 1:50.

• Everyone in comments: OMG this simulation is so accurate! But as a navy man here we would’ve never had those handicaps and we would’ve totally wreaked havoc on their obsolete military guys.

This thing had the plot of a top gun movie but is presented like a simulation done to the last detail. Just… strange. Gives off a big “elite waffen SS against soviet human wave attacks” energy.
