Who would be the winner if a fight started between the dragons, the apple of the eye of the fantastic universes, and the famous F-16s? Let’s find the answer to this question together.
Once on the Internet “100 grains Jedi Will he beat him, or 12,000 ducks?” Videos of fights seeking answers to irrelevant questions such as Because the fights were never aired in those videos. the fight between an F-16 fighter jet and a dragon We never saw how it would turn out. Then we decided to determine the result ourselves.
Firstly the terms of the conflict Let’s determine. In open air, altitude is a range where both sides can fly and maneuver comfortably, and below desert and a mountain range there is. There is no human life on the mountain, so that there are no ethical reservations, everyone should fire whatever weapon they have.
How is the dragon a dragon?
Almost everyone knows what a dragon is. according to their own culture has an idea. Only Nintendo employees unable to figure out what the dragon is, Charizard When they are not a dragon type, they call the apple, the tree a dragon. A more or less similar thing comes to mind when everyone else thinks of the dragon.
It comes to life, we come to life which dragon will we take? While I make a list for our possible dragons in a corner, let me introduce our other warrior at the same time.
Features of F-16 warplanes:
Of course, not all F-16s are the same. So what are we going to do, because the war will take place in the air custom made We will choose a variation. Or “Dragon nuked his head while he was sleeping and ran away heyoo” Scenarios such as
on our plane General Electric (Block 30 40 50 60) and Pratt & Whitney (Block 1 5 10 15 20 25 32 42 52) one of the engines is used. Technically a few million dollars on the plane and every time it takes off. $22,500 per hour the most advanced model used for not paying F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falconu (a little 57 million dollar) I will use. It’s not an F-35, but it has AN/ASQ-28 IFTS imaging system on it. So our dear dragon no matter where we will be able to see it. This is how we use features such as navigation and automatic targeting. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-80 “Agile Beam Radar” AESA radar.
144,567 kilonewtons With its power-generating engine, the speed of this vehicle is per hour. 2,123 kilometers can find. 14.5-metre aircraft, standard above 20 mm 6 barrels one gun can accommodate 2 air-to-air rockets. My choice sidewinder air-to-air attack rocket. this rocket Mach 2.5 your speed can get on top of it. This sweet rocket can track heat velocity and if you want to blow up a building or something behind a 10cm thick steel wall, for only $381,070 You can get this rocket.
So I chose a dragon? Certainly. First, let’s take a look at the eliminated candidates:
Dragons in European folk legends:
Above stove, big in hand pole a dragon defeated by men F-16 We can all agree that she won’t stand a chance against him. I said then let’s go past them and look at their equivalents in the eastern legends.
Dragons in eastern folk legends:
Dominating the dimensions, roughly magical and gigantic creatures who are gods or goddesses. Sorry about the planes this time. After all, there is no need to buy back a machine worth $57 million in the form of a coke can.
Game of Thrones dragons don’t stand a chance either!
thrown from ship with wooden stake against the dead dragon 21,600 bullets We all know the result more or less: game of Thrones themed authentic giant strainer. F-16s are too fast for them and have much more attack power.
At least Smaug can stand up to it? No, he has no luck either:
Smaug will put up a better fight, but he doesn’t have much of a chance. We know we can pierce your scales, We also know that it is not a series. It’s sad, there’s nothing you can do.
If you’re playing magic, then there’s Nicol Bolas:
We are talking about a creature that can travel between dimensions and destroy civilizations. The F-16 doesn’t stand a chance, maybe a pilot with a blue-and-white deck But he can stop himself.
Guzzlord:
Is there such a dragon? Where is this from? Pokémon? NINTENDOOOO!
There are also planets, star-eating dragons, but you more or less get the point. When it comes to fantasy literature, we find dragons we can beat, and when we get into big mythologies, we find dragons that we can’t fight. But…
Luckily I found our dragon: The Red Death
How to Train Your Dragon Do you remember our dragon in the series? A viking fleet that is clever, capable of making plans, resistant to fire, destructive enough and breath of fire. at once strong enough to burn. When he takes a deep breath, he can even draw other dragons around him into his mouth.
300 meters this giant dragon 100 meters It has a wingspan. Let’s see how the fight goes.
Round 1: I see you giant lizard
Our plane, which takes off from a base in the USA, begins its journey over this strange creature seen on the horizon. Meanwhile, Red Death looks around for some dragons he can control. As we understand from American movies American pilots When they see something, they try to communicate first, and then they take it step by step to the nuclear bomb. In reality, however, it would not be surprising at all if they went straight to war.
In this case, it will first send the rockets and then evaluate the situation. Rockets will hurt the creature, but missiles alone will not be enough. So the struggle will come to the point we wanted from the beginning: dogfight.
Round 2: We have a problem!
When the fireball and blown dust that emerged after the explosion of the rockets dispersed, the F-16’s flying towards We see the dragon. In this case, the most logical thing for the plane to do is of course get out of the way. Fortunately, the aircraft’s general evasive maneuver is upwards, or it would have to come up with plenty of fire. Although aircraft can withstand short-term fire, it is safer.
Then the chase in the sky would begin. giant dragon despite its slowness The aircraft will also need a safe distance to attack. In the meantime, it will perform maneuvers such as flying close to the mountains and passing through areas where maneuvering is difficult.
The problem is red deathis not a creature that cares about bumping into tiny cliffs. When you start to breathe in the air around you F-16 Problems will start. Due to aerodynamic problems, the balance of the aircraft will be disturbed. Fortunately there is a way to get rid of it, surprise flares and for the dragon to be able to go to a higher altitude than necessary, it will provide him with adequate escape.
From here, frankly, the plane’s dragon how successfully Depends on what you can hit. Considering that these planes shot down other planes from kilometers away, it is not difficult to say that they can easily shoot the dragon 100 meters to 300 meters. In this case, our main topic is whether the bullets will be enough to overthrow the dragon.
Here it is activated pilot’s intelligence it is entering.
If he manages to get the dragon in front of him, if the dragon fills his stomach with lead the moment he opens his mouth, or if he first smashes his canals and then hunts the dragon with salvos when he lands. The winner will be the F-16. Otherwise, the F-16 has almost no chance in a flank fight, or in a situation where it focuses its attack on a point where the dragon’s armor is strong.
