That is most likely an inert AMRAAM (or the thing that is used during training, i think those are named CATM 120) since none of them have seem to have any fins
That makes sense
I dont know
because the nose of the missiles on stations 1 and 9 seem to have a different shape than those visible on 2, 3, and 8 which do seem to be CATM-120
and the ones on 1 and 9 dont resemble any of the missiles known to be compatable with the station (just AIM-120, AIM-9, and AGM-88 iirc)
so they might actually be AIM-260 (or more likely the captive version)
edit:
the nose of that missile does look very similar to that of AIM-260 as seen in this image
Tech tree progression recommendation: F-15SA → F-15QA → F-15EX
US tree certainly would not have both F-15SA and F-15QA as researchable planes.
There’s no need for all that, the EX is enough imo
Both F-15QA and F-15SA can appear in UK tech tree
i know it’s a far reach but, UK already has a saudi also the saudi’s are using the IRIS-T on the F-15SA so it has shared tech, but it’s a far reach and can only happen if UK tree is lacking since 5th gen they might get F-35A/B
I still doubt UK will get it just because it has a Saudi lightning in the tree, IRIS-T is also not used by UK so not shared tech, besides this, UK would be getting ton of top tier fighters from India so i highly doubt we would see F-15SA/QA in British tree
They could however go to Israeli tree or a new middle east techtree
that goes only for the rafale.
as for the others. currently they are top tier.
but if we go into meteor era, they are not.
SU-30MKI could also be top tier if they do decide to give it R-37 since India was buying R-37 IIRC, so that would still be 3 Top tier jets from India (2, if naval variant of rafale and land based rafale are counted as 1)
they didnt
india dosent use the naval rafale
they use the Mig-29K as their naval aircraft
The deal fell through?
My bad
to my knowledge they dont have any r37’s yet
They are getting Rafale M faster than it was planned, it should be 2028, so yeah you are right but the original comment was in the future and it’s not that far.
Even if they add the r37 to plane such as su30mki and mig29.
They dont have the radar with the power or the range to use r37m. The most powerful they have is bars who is limited to 150km or so. On a 200-250km missilse. Thats bad
They can be but they will be weak against other bvr platform such as eft or j16.
The UK doesn’t need to get every other trees vehicles.
Blame Gaijin, they’ve set the precedent
I do blame Gaijin and all the players that beg for vehicles they don’t need.
