yeah i was more just saying that even modern russian stuff doesnt seem to hold up, so idk why someone would be suprised a 1980 mig-29 with SPO-15 wouldnt handle being shot at with an R-37M well…
The poor guy likely didnt even know like you mentioned, just like im not sure the Su-34 pilot would have known he was being fired on by patriot had the GCI/AWACS guy warned him
I gave the video a watch, although its possible they had the warning alarm turned down or off because I’d have expected an audible alarm for illumination from a Patriot, it does come across that the pilot didn’t know until the GCI informed him.
On the subject of over reliance on GCI this interview regarding Hungarian MIG-29’s covers the subject;
Knowing how the radars are… it’ll go
“Radar works fine”
“Radar doesn’t work when not maintained”
“if it doesn’t work it doesn’t matter”
“GCI only matters”
And the famous boogeyman
it’s export
Su-34 just doesn’t have RWR, on its own it can relly only on limited jammers recognition abilities.
Why Russians didnt installed RWR to Su-34?
wait, seriously? Do you have proof? Not that I dont believe, you, its just that thats just about the dumbest thing ive ever heard, which i guess is par for the course for russian designs tbf.
Its from this book
here the download
According to wikipedia:
Im curious about how fast the scan rate is considering what’s being said here tbh. There is substantially more detailed info on the wikipedia page than i was expecting. Its gonna be interesting digging through the sources later.
Yep
keep in mind that the current missile limit isnt the radar but the amount of missiles you can use which is 8 but 2 of those are IR so 6 MRAAMs
but there had to have been an upgrade when Meteor was added
What!? Really?
According to the Russian classification, the Su-34 is a front-line bomber…It does not fly without the Khibiny complex and was originally designed with it, during the design process the complex could not be made integrated into the airframe…
So translation no rwr an dthe thing will realy realy suck in game becsuse of that?
I mean it sucks irl to so no difference
how many countermeasures does the eurofighter have? didnt find any sources
Two BOL rails so 320 small caliber countermeasures and two cobham dispensers so 32 large caliber countermeasures
BOL IRL is not small
In game it is small due to how much of it you get and nothing to do with its real world performance
I was talking about how they would be or are already modelled ingame. I know that BOL works very differently IRL compared to ingame
As others have said, 320 BOL packets from two rails, then there are 32 55mm charges total in two dispensers below the wings.
But also these are programmable with programmable flares and active radar decoys.
unsure whether its 32 or 36 or varies between production and prototype variants
