Do you know why I think that anyone will see a helicopter through a thermal imager?) Because a helicopter cannot use hot smoke screening a thermal imager like ground vehicles with smoke mortars - if a helicopter had such smoke, it would not be able to use thermal imaging elements of fire and a night vision device.
Think about it again ;-)
The whole point of smoke screening is to not be seen you can retreat or reposition, that’s exactly what you want.
Yes, but the smoke trail will move along with the helicopter, and now imagine what a freebie this will be for the fighters - literally yes, I’m here, kill me.
Yet again, they can’t see you if you double back in through smoke, and can only face in the head on, which gives you enough time to act accordingly.
depends on the smoke persistence settings, I doubt that the gaijins will give helicopters smoke that stays in the air for more than 20-30 seconds
let them introduce it, I’m interested in how it will look
does su-25K carry the r73
25K doesnt, 25T, 25SM3 and 39 have R-60M and R-73
in specifications it does say r73
Then it would be 11.3 not 10.3
Loadouts have always been used as a balancing method. You can find dozens of examples of aircraft having weaker weapons than they actually had
so should the mig-29s
Even though he says a lot of disconnected things, he’s still one of the most sensible, since the others just use their hatred of Russia in this forum.
That’s fair, but when there’s such irrefutable evidence to the contrary and he still tries to fight it, it’s quite foolish to say the least
It’s no more of a no fly zone as it is a no ordinance zone, most NATO ordinance is far too slow to get through a competent pantsir
Not sure why you keep denying evidence then…
No one else is denying evidence, yet you continue defending exclusively Russian military equipment in spite of all evidence.
So now you’re saying that russian documents back up it’s survivability? Didn’t you just say that it wasn’t too survivable?

You must be thinking of someone else.
A-10A and Su-25 are both made for closer quarters.
Both have weaknesses.
If you use Ground Target belts, Su-25s and A-10As are rather easy to deal with.
Both can and will survive missile hits if they hit in the wrong place.
