There isn't any because it has to reach a liftoff speed and then a cruising speed before being able to use the afterburner otherwise it would crash

Answer:

This is incorrect.

Many aircraft use full afterburner (especially if loaded with weapons and/ or using a short runway) on take off.

The F-16 takes off at around 120-130 knots (138-148 mph) and this speed is the same regardless of whether the afterburner is selected or not.

Hey is it possible in real life for a Hind D gunship to down an F16?

Technically possible but practically impossible........unless it was on the tarmac Remember the two machines are designed for very different roles. The Hind is a ground attack aircraft whilst the F16 is (as its name suggests) a fighter. The F16 has everything in its advantage. Speed, weapons, technology and probably most significantly distance. It wouldn't take much for the F16 to knock a hind our the sky as the AMRAAM-120 (its principle medium range weapon) has a range of 48km or 30 miles. The hind would be history before it even knew the F16 was there. As a totally unrealistic setting - if for arguments sake the F16 was out of missiles ( at which point it would most likely bug out) and it chose to fight with guns then if by some miracle the f16 missed and the hind got a shot off with its gun and hit the F16 then yes I suppose it could down it.
