i have that for r24t… unfortunately not for r40t
Alr, just can’t find a primary source, although I have found 10+ websites old and new stating it had ircm
doesn’t R-40TD use R-24T seeker or is it just a misconception?
yeah idk about that, thats why i said i have r24t docs but not necessarily r40td docs
That’s the 40RD uses a 24R seeker. If not it’s based on it I’m not 100% sure though
Another missile to add to the list - R74m2/rvv-md2
for su35, su30sm and su57 type fighter
gotta love me my IOG+Datalink on a Fox-2 missile, wonder how this even works

R-40RD used RGS-25 seekerhead which is based on RGS-24 from R-24R. R-40TD however uses 35T1 seekerhead and i couldn’t find anything about it being based on R-24T seekerhead. But it is all-aspect with nitrogen cooling
cant find a primary source but here is a handfull of website that claim the 35T1 has IRCM (R-40TD)
most of the websites did have a lot of sources listed, not that necessarily means anything
R-74M/RVV-MD missile
You can already see that on AIM-9X, IRIS-T SLM or CS/SA5 in game.
No i can’t because i don’t play ground. I am more interested in how it will perform in air, ground is cringe.
Well imagine a missile that can be fired at literally any angle. That’s because of iog (as you can see by the ±180 degree launch limits when target is captured on a trajectory).
So a plane can literally be behind you, you can still launch your missiles if you have a track on them (really only works for su57 as that has 360 degree irst vision)
It allows for lock on after launch (it’s why in ground these missiles can be fired without a lock, then while in flight using their iog they predict where the target will be and then lock on when they’re close enough)
i wonder if something like Su-35 can use datalink for this purpose, from the ground radar, AWACS or a wingman
I mean su-35 radar can gimbal 125 degrees max so it can shoot somewhat behind it. Directly behind though… I doubt.
Maybe with awacs/datalink sure but idk if that works for ir missiles (though it theoretically should since rvv-md2 has radio correction channel)
Ik that works for r37m though
quick, we need TVC for R-37M!
Ks-172 save me!
it doesn’t have TVC sadly. But from what i gathered - it can hit targets maneuvering with up to 12G overload, so it should have very solid maneuverability (at the cost of not being super fast like R-37M)
its even funnier if you realise modern AAMs have GPS, afaik the later AMRAAMs have it.
