Crap yeah it’s a PESA…It’s pure Russian cope.
Can we not use Su-35 combat footage showing how slow the Radar scans?

Ah, FnF, at last- But is it comparable to KH-38s, Mavericks, and whatever Rafale has? How does it compare?
It’s a joke honestly gaijin quite obviously don’t understand AESA radars
It’s a glide bomb so…
I feel best is a stretch (I suspect there’s a couple AWACS and naval installations that will disagree, also F-35.) but it’s definitely up there. No reason for a PESA to outperform it in any regard except maybe range through sheer plate diameter.

Combat footage? We got test videos of it in its long range mode (longer dwell time and small scan zone for longer range)
Also videos are unacceptable for bug reports regarding time as video footage can be altered
It’s probably the best AESA Radar.
It uses the rear processing unit for the F-35
It will be on the level of the APG-81
And being newer you could make the assumption it is one of the best.

Now, the substantially more important question…
Are they fixing the HUD? (UV Filter + not stretched)

I’d argue it’s better than all short of kh38 tbh. 600 second flight time and they come down at an 80 degree angle + they’re so small that pantsirs struggle to reliably intercept + sheer volume. I do like them.

But what about speed? I read they are bombs… so they will take 13 business days to reach their destination? Or are they fast, like the ones Rafale uses?
They’ll be relatively slow but that’s in line with the rest of Typhoon’s ground attack options
That is true its comparable going by trm count if not betterl because of better trm technology than apg 81 if excluding Mk0
Apg 85 tho thats nother beast

I see! Well, at least they are FnF, but I thought the C*S meta relied on fast missiles which reach their destination in time and are harder to intercept.
Fast and big stuff, or small weapons but an fair amount of them :)
They’re a nightmare to intercept cause there’s so many, they’re so small and they go to low earth orbit and come down vertical (which fortunately also means they reliably oneshot everything they hit)
Same patch ECRS was changed:
Spoiler
That we agree on

plus you can lob brimstones as decoys :D
The tricky bit of the Spice-250s will be the max drop speed of Mach 1 and getting the Typhoon slow enough, so for SEAD, we might still have to stick with lobbing PW4s, but with the Spice-250s, you can run 6x PW4s alongside 8x Spice-250s. or 6x Brimstones, +4x PW4s + 8x Spice-250s (dont think the spice racks conflict with the dual PW4s anyway)
But the FnF option is gunna be great, also for something like SB too
I already did that with paveways its hilarious watching them panic vs the 12 “rocket” in the air and ignore the 4 evil Mach 1.5 GNSS bombs coming for them
