I've seen that before, it is cool and well made. Except I want the pilots (after they eject) to either shake hands and have a beer, or continue the fight with handguns!
ACM down low like that is pretty much impossible, though, and the missiles are more lethal. Usually, if pickled in good parameters, the likelihood of a kill is very high, especially for the IR variants.

I'll tell ya what... the airspeed those guys punched out at - both of them would likely have serious flail injuries, so any ability to continue to fight would be pretty limited.
Taking a life is not pleasant. I've never done it, but many of my friends have, and they are all disturbed by it. One guy (an A-10 pilot) blew up a large number of tanks and trucks in GW1 and was hurting. Air to air, the enemy is viewed more as the machine rather than the man. I don't know of any pilot that is happy when there is no parachute. When it comes down to it, war is damned ugly for everybody.

Chogy, does it mean that u never took part in any war?
No, I missed Gulf War 1 by months. At the time, I was an instructor pilot. But my old squadron was the top-scoring unit of that conflict, and I've kept in touch with many of these fellows (and others) from my AF career.
I'm a pretty old guy relative to most here!
And there is certainly a reason why these words are spoken. Well quoted, freund. It is often appalling to find a lot of people brag about what would happen in a war and relish it so easily here (most presumably amateur armchair teenage generals) and finally relish talking about using nuclear weapons on anybody in any scene as if it is a fire cracker.A quote by someone I don't know.
"War is delightful to those who have not yet experienced it."
I agree with you on this, sir.
