Honestly, who cares if it was just a mock-up at this point. We desperately need better SAMs for all nations.
If they refuse to nerf the KH-38MT and Pantsir to match other nations they have to give those nations better equipment.
id still prefer real vehicles
Might be wrong, but acording to the brochure from Rafael, the Spyder AIO with Python 5s has a maximum range of 15 Km so it should be okay (if what the brochure says is true).

i wonder where wikipedia gets its range then cus they say 40
Well, I haven’t looked at the Spyder SR but it should be similar. Either way, 40 Km with an IR missile launched from the ground (with no initial speed) would be too much.

better take this to the KH38 thread no ?
Can you even read? if the missile doesn’t self destruct and keeps gliding it will average 600 m/s over 70km (it averages 750 m/s over 40km)
Evidence beyond trust me bro ?
Please use the KH-38MT thread or talk about this in PM’s. Thanks

Isn’t it something that completely relates to any top tier SPAA effectiveness? Anyway.

I have to agree. The main argument people have been levying against Gaijin is that no one has a counter or equivalent to the Pantsir. This still isnt it depsite being touted as a top tier SPAA when it doesnt appear to be any form of a game chaner. 5km and 12km is nothing compared to what is going against and people are pointing that out without much clarification from CMs or Devs.

Its said to have “half” the turning circle of an R-73.
That statement came from a Person that works at Diehl Defence as a Manager.
Wich would give the IRIS-T 100+G that it can pull
here the actuall quote “If the Sidewinder turns 360 degrees on a watermelon, the Soviet Archer on an apple and IRIS-T on a plum”

I would say it is not a mockup, but I might be slightly biased

what would you call it then
Go and check what I attached.
And the bias part was a joke due to the fact I’m the creator of the suggestion.

Why add EldE instead of NOMADS?
productsheet_nomads_web.pdf
There is more info in open sources about NOMADS.
There are more NOMADS out there than EldE´s.
NOMADS is also compatible with Iris-t.
It can carry other missiles that could be added in the future so devs wouldn´t have to work in a new vehicle.
NOMADS could be more reactive and still have to take some time to deeploy (or be quiet) to shoot.
Yes, it is in a very early state of production but 2s38 was in the same stage when it was added.
There is no real reason why NOMADS isn´t added.
