Kh-25MP
“The Kh-25MP missile with passive radar homing head (RGSN) is designed for high-precision destruction of radar controls of enemy air defense systems, including radars of anti-aircraft missile systems such as “Hawk", “Improved Hawk”, “Nike Hercules”.”
Kh-25MPU
“To defeat the Roland-1 and Crotale air defense systems, the X-25MP missile was upgraded and received the X-25MPA index. The modernization consisted in expanding the frequency range of passive WGSN and in the use of an inertial guidance system that makes it possible to prolong the guidance and re-capture the target when the radar target radiation is temporarily turned off. The range has increased dramatically.”
Though I doubt we’d see any for a long time due to their relatively massive ranges. AGM-45(a) shrike and AGM-122 SIDEARM are both very close range missiles (no more than 16km it appears), and the firing aircraft would be susceptible to already-in-game SPAA
With the RWR rework coming next patch I think ARMs might be a step closer. Gaijin are actually making radar bands matter now (they’ve always existed but never really done much).
They are also modelling RWR capability based on whole radar bands rather than specific frequency ranges, which is how I suggest ARMs should be added.
To add to this some of the RWRs list specific threat types that aren’t in game such as Hawk, S-75, 2K11, And then there is S-125 but that’s on the Destroyer Bravy.
This leads me to believe that they are planning on adding more comprehensive SAM systems to modes like ARB and SIM which could compliment the introduction of something like ARMs very well.
The issue is that the Seeker only has an FoV of about +/- 4 degrees so has a very small searched volume once it goes terminal so needs to be lofted the same way, one would shoot a basketball in order to ensure that the geometry works out.
There is a computer assisted launch mode (CCRP) though so it’s not as if they are lofting it by eye, most of the time.
The AGM-78A only covers the S band (NATO D though F band).
The AGM-78B,C & D cover 2.65 to 3.2, 4.8 to 5.3 GHz, and 8.8 to 9.6 GHz (S, C & X old band, so covers approximately E though I NATO, though depending on how things are modeled may erroneously include J band ) Which is similar to the AGM-45x-10 Broadband seeker, though does include a novel memory circuit / INS capability.
