Not really, prior to that F-16Cs were absolute menace of a CAS when they decide to not fly straight (a really hard thing to do apparently)
you talk about F-16C? well pantsir can intercept them their AGM and bombs TWS since introduction of pantsir (and mav are slow as someone grandma i don’t know why SPAA like that have problem intercept them) and still no other nation has SPAA like that even other nation have better SPAA and they still not even given them
Because no other Nation stuck with the TELAR SPAAs but the Soviets
You missed the conditional:
Not really? You can’t be serious.
KH38MT and Su-30SM,Su-34 can be more menace than the F16C ever been.
because the dynamic never changed. Kh-38 didn’t introduce anything new, in fact it just gave RU the chance to do the same as what the menacing F-16Cs did. But even then, the dynamic never changed SPAA was already outclassed then

but they had SPAA that can intercept mav or bomb other don’t have SPAA that can intercept even mav
That is besides the point, because someone who was smart with CAS (ergo, someone who didn’t fly straight) never allowed the Pantsir to even react
how the hell one can’t react with such radar which is the best and with TWS and mav isn’t hypersonic it not even supersonic speed and not even have IOG at least they have tools to defend themselves against threat
imagine you give Brits LOAL brimstone you think RU main not gonna complain about it? ofc they will
everyone not playing britain will complain because they would have the ability to hit things without ever showing their jet.

KH38MT is nowhere close to what the F16C did, 6 missiles gives you 6 confirmed kills, travels at 2.3 mach and alot of explosives, AGM65D is inferior by alot. Don’t compare 2 different things buddy.

It’s in the post itself
This alone defeats the Pantsir, now pair it with hitting the deck and the Pantsir can never properly react in time
Did you miss the part where I said it didn’t exactly introduce anything new? CAS was and always has been a menace even before the Kh-38.
yeah, other SPAA are even worse what make Russian are special need something ahead of everyone?
idk? ask other nations why they never develop any mobile TELARs beyond the 80s I guess. (Hint, it’s doctrine)
okay you wanna talk doctrine then i supposed other need better AMRAAM and US need stealth fighter since it their doctrine, right?
There’s no such thing as bias, the game is just overall unbalanced that’s all.
lol, go ahead introduce gen 5s. I forget US players need constant hand holding
yeah, but Russian is hand holding right now, aren’t they?
what a surprise

Rafale can throw AASMs at Pantsirs from outside of their range
