The basic art of war by Sun Tzu: Knowing your enemy and knowing yourself will result in 100 victories. Not knowing your enemy but not knowing yourself, will end up in 100 defeats. Speaking of this situation of going against the MIG, there can be many other ways just to take down this guy. Let’s say it’s a more elusive Sukhoi Su-35 that is the enemy, and I am flying an F-22. The Raptor has things that the Sukhoi does not have such as stealth, B.V.R. capability, nor speed. The Sukhoi however, has extreme maneuverability (at any altitude) and has an anti-stealth radar able to track down a Raptor that is in close range. Therefore, it is best that if I were the Raptor pilot, I would first try to take the Sukhoi down from 136 miles before he could spot me on his radar range of around 90 km. I have studied the general basics about dogfighting and capabilities of different aircraft from books and documentaries. However, I believe there is a lot more to dogfighting than these basics alone; I will keep pushing to learn more about what it is like to be a fighter pilot.
