The second round of thrust-to-weight ratio, fuel and performance analysis travels back to the mid-to-early 70s, discussing the American F-4E-45MC, the Soviet MiG-21bis and the French Mirage F1CE.

At the beginning of August 2024, I made a video about how only the unlucky guy at the receiving end of the missiles would defend when SAMs targeted a formation.
