Well, they haven’t even been delivered yet …
The aircrafts (which were either fully or at least partially produced for Egypt initially, before Egypt cancelled their order and instead Iran bought them) basically never left Russia …

Seems Fakour is like if the R-27ER and Phoenix had a baby. Strong acceleration with long range performance. Can’t wait to try out this missile in-game.

Not sure why they would decrease the overload from AIM-54
Also they set the propellent mass to 285kg: 210kg for the booster + 75kg sustainer
If we assume that the export AD-40A is a Fakour-90 without the boost stage (which it most likely is), 637 - 465 = 172kg should be the mass of the boost stage (which is missing from AD-40A) and 295 - 172 = 123kg should be the mass of the sustain stage.
worse seeker, less maximum deflection due to higher speed
I mean its pretty much exactly as expected, an even longer range skillcheck missile
Skillcheck implies only the braindeads will die from it, but as far as I can see, this missile has an acceleration on par with that of the MRAAMs while still being longer ranged. Launching these in beginning of the match from 50-60km away would probably surprise the good players.
Does anyone know if they ever upgraded the RWR to a modern one, I cant find anything talking about it but I would assume they did
That spread a lot faster than expected XD
Here is the same test for Sedjil

would it be possible for you to compare the Fakour-90 to the aim-54C, and the Sedjil to the Aim-7E2/R-27R1, just so we can see the comparisons of whats the best to take for the f-14 when it is released
Can you please do a test between AIM-54A and Fakour-90?
There will be no AIM-54C, only A
How’d you get those?? And can you post the rest?
i know, but as a test just to see if its comparable
Theres no good reason for them to hold back the AIM-54C anymore if theyre going to make the best long range AAM be a stupid event missile

I’ve increased altitude (8km) and distance (60km) a bit to make it more interesting.
Quite unnecessary, the Fakour-90 and Sedjil are probly vast superior to any other A2A missile in-game unless they change the performance of any. (Also saying this as I already tested the AIM-54C against both, it performs “as bad” as the AIM-54A against them.) *If these configs are the actual ones

ah ok
Oh boy … It’s not even a contest …
Is it unable to reconnect the datalink, if the TWS target is lost, like the AIM-54?
