Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Btw nicely showing of again u dont understand the english language and are constantly misinterpreting stuff.
Honestly might wanna stay with your native language sources. You clearly aren able to work with sources that u need to translate

It’s not like AASMs don’t all have IOG and GPS…

Besides, the only thing worth mentioning here is the Storm Breaker. It’s already been established how pathetic MMW ATR algorithms are and you are yet to refute that lol

Is there actually any proof it can track moving tanks then?

But they only have IR or SAL right?

SAL+IOG+GPS
or
IR+IOG+GPS

No combined seekers, you’d think since that tech is available in the USA and UK that the advanced French industries could easily solve this problem?

Only a IR + SAL seeker would be worthwhile hence why I stated Storm Breaker is the exception. There’s no point in having MMW + SAL if MMW is practically useless lmao

So you’re saying that French industry is behind on multimode seekers, given these weapons have been in-service in multiple nations for numerous years.

You’d think after all this time they wouldn’t need to carry two different types of the same weapon and they could just join everyone else in the multimode seeker future.

Yes JAGM Brimstone SPEAR 3 and Hellfire L all have a point MMW seeker

Before we continue with this banter. Do you think you could cut to the chase and actually disprove me?

I’m waiting… if you actually are able to, that is.

He is just behaving like u do all the time not fun eh

I think it’s your turn to answer a question, rather than ignoring it.

Yeah sure so here are the NATO definitions of terms;


So where in the word “identification” is used it is specific types of vehicle such as “T-72” or “MiG-29”
and per the Brimstone DMS brochure it does “identification”;

This is in contrast to Brimstone-1 which only has Classification of target;

Also this claim which comes later on from the Brimstone-1 presentation;

Where the ID type was upgraded to “Recognition”.

This not only demonstrates the seeker was improved with each version but also likely confirms your claims of poor identification which are likely linked to the original Brimstone-1 seeker and non of the improved versions.

Dud, the source obviously lies, the truck turns into T-72 tank. You call that accurate?
/s

So now we have that out of the way, back to French industry being far behind on multimode seekers, how do you square that circle? @Mulatu_Astatke

Off the top of my head:

There’s a few others lying around but I see no point in sharing for nothing in return.

Seems that’s in disagreement with the modern primary claim the IR seeker is for large targets such as building. How are you dealing with that conflict with those two sources? Is the brochure wrong or that book?


So GPS for the tanks and IR for the ships

Seems like a good timeline. IR version had troubles hitting moving targets, so they designer a laser version used for moving, tank sized targets, and designed a algorithm that changed IR to a pure anti facility usage.
Makes sense.

So it initially uses laser guidance to lock onto a target and then uses the MMW seeker to capture an image of the target to lock onto in Mode 3? Else, why does it hand over guidance to the MMW seeker at all?

Or does it use a 3D target model to lock onto a target from the outset? But then SAL guidance would be redundant then, so then why retain it?

Never hurts to have a backup for the backup
