Trainings

After recent escalations, North-Korea is relocating long range missile launchers to positions from which they can strike several high value targets in the South-Korean peninsula. To demonstrate that the ROK is capable of a quick reaction to any threat, a show of force will be done south of the DMZ. In case this is met with hostile intent, however, an offensive counter-air will be launched immediately. The Belgian Virtual Tigers were part of this back-up, standing by for launch on Chongju Airbase.

As was feared, the DPRK engaged and the Belgian Virtual Tigers were called upon. How that went can be seen in the following video.

Close formation practice. Not always as smooth as you expect it to be. Can somebody please bring me a new pair of trousers?!

Last Wednesday, we concluded our basic ACM training phase and divided in two 2v1 fights, we took to the skies with 6 aircraft. For the occasion, Faan made this superb video.

With the basics now well understood by everyone, we move up to advanced ACM, in which we will start improving on the use of air-to-air missiles, and gradually increase the number of (asymmetric) opponents.

"The art of aerial combat"

Last Wednesday, Doc, Eagle-Eye and Scorpion took to the skies for a 2v1 Air Combat Manoeuvring (ACM) Training. Having only guns on their jets, they had to get real close and personal - commonly known as "dogfighting" - making it a lot harder but all the more spectacular to get the job done.

Eagle-Eye and Scorpion both had a camera attached to their helmets, allowing us to share some footage with you. Enjoy !!
