Answer : Knife Fighting is a loose term which roughly means a Close In Dogfight which mostly happens at slow speeds in tight high G turn.The jets dont fly out far enough from each other to be in the envelope of the Heat Seeking/IR missiles, so the fight is decided by the cannon. This is why the Americans had to load gun pods on F-4s to fight the Vietnamese Mig-21s which were giving them an ugly beating. #Horus
