APKWS-II is now in operational service on Typhoon in the RAF
Warheads currently seem to still be PD fused (Mk. 435 Mod 1), rather than the FALCO proxy fuse
Nice photo from the trials against airborne targets. Seems it’s cropped from a MoD video of the trials, but I can’t find the proper source for that video
takes a few months to integrate a new type of weapon (rockets) onto a Typhoon, but years/decade(s) to integrate Meteor onto an F-35
One does not mention F-35 on these hallowed pages good sir!
Shudders.
I can’t WAIT until we get the tiny 35A fleet-within-a-fleet up and running with the resultant supply woes that entails.
Never underestimate a British Engineers ability to bolt new kit to their airframe :D
on this
When i went to RAF Hendon back in April there was a Nuclear Depth charge with the Common Lug for mounting
(spitfire W/ Nuclear depth charge when?)
Still waiting on the Beer Barrel Bombs
We could try to press Gaijin to add beer barrels to whatever the D-Day event plane is going to be. Historically correct or not, it would make it more relevant to D-Day operations
That sounds like a plan
Yoink.
For Personal collection or adding to the Internal Report?
:3
Internal report.
And a load of Aim120Ds…Special relationship working as intended.
Given the RAF’s tendency to ‘borrow’ things - you’re not telling me that the US contingents at Lakenheath and Mildenhall won’t start keeping a closer eye on their stores and spares from now on…
‘Sorry mate - one of ours was U/S and you chaps have plenty of them - so we borrowed it. We pinky-promise that we will return it. Probably.’
That’s how they ended up with C-17s. They borrowed a few, decided that they were jolly nice thank you - wouldn’t it be a shame to hand them back… Next thing the MOD knows - they’ve got some extra transports on the books.*
*Okay - they DID pay for them.
Will Gaijin ever make MAWs work? Killed by an IGLA because my DASS system is just additional weight I carry that does notthing.
I am quite sick of everything good NATO have being handicapped because Russian electronics are decades behind.
Got a clip + game log for that?
Might be worth a report
I will have a look tomorrow cannot face any more war thunder tonight. Game is terrible right now.
Hopped on today, played 2 games and rage quite. Games is ass…
(The target is a Meggeitt/QinetiQ Banshee target drone if anyone was wondering)
