Could the mig-21 MF/SMT get the r-13M

ok so, to begin with, this is not a suggestion, but a question.
could the mig-21MF/SMT get the r13M (not the M1, the regular M)

like could this aircraft carry said missile?

it could carry it irl but why would you ever take it over the r-13m1 in wt

the SMT/MF dont get the r13m1, so my simple idea was to give them the regular r-13M instead of the M1 just to add the missile back into some planes

and so we can finally pushed them up in BR again? genius

exactly, these dont belong at 10.3 at all

They are worse than Matra 1 and PL-5b.

still MIG-21 MF/SMT are too low BR wise,…

yes, them getting a better ranged missile would be enough for them to be moved up in br

they should give it to the J-35XS imho

R-13M on a J-35XS? do you have any proof of that?

could have been simply a musuem montage, replacing the AIM-9J,…

this is more accurate as there is written documents mentionning the R-13M for “J-35S” (and not “XS” maybe a typo)

but replacing AIM-9J for a R-13M is actually bad (it’s goes further away, but are less capable to follow a turn)

i don’t think K-13s and AIM-9s share the same rail.

iirc R-13M is like AIM-9D?

Spoiler

you can see here an RB-24 on a different rail also i don’t have sources rn but i know that it is real


read all, i agreed that R-13M was used,… but simply not because of your photo ^^"

R13M1 is a AIM–9J very good missile very high flare resistance for what they are should be added in place of R60s

In would love to have the 13M back in the game, its sort of between a 9E and D I think, would be nice for balance and fun.

How would we feel about the MiG-19 receiving R-13M? move up in BR? stay at the same BR?

acording to the forbidden page its like a 9D with pl5b range

its not that good
