Disregard what I wrote then, my translator’s not the best.
Perhaps, though between some assumptions (like I doubt they’ll be usable past 30km) and the brief explanation of what ARMs are going to look like from the Q&A, I think half of that is going to be irrelevant.
I think the factors of greater impact will be:
- What ARMs can be used against which SAMs (if that is even modeled)
- How many ARMs can be carried (perticularly important at higher BRs with mass missile interception)
- What needs to be given up to enable carrage of ARM
To that end, Im thinking one of the stronger may be the Tornado GR1/GR4 simply because it can carry a boat load of ARM, including 2 ARM no matter what the loadout and can operate at a BR where hopefully it wont see the top SPAA, especially the new Pantsir.
We shall see, if BRs stay the same, the Tornado might be better BR-for-BR.
Does anybody perhaps have a source on the flight profile of the KH-31P? From what I can read it has a 110km range, but only at very high altitude (Maximum launch range (at H=15 km) = 110km). Minimum launch height seems to be 100m, but I doubt the missile would reach it’s operating parameters at such low altitude, the solid rocket booster needs to propel the missile to sufficent speed allowing the ramjet sustainer to operate.
Yes. And you have launch speed range. So ramjet can work if you launch Kh-31 on 100m on 650km/h
