yeah him, he was asking me yesterday if our su30MKI was in game.

How does a 360 degree boresight work? Does it have seekers in the back to track?

LOAL + DL(?)

sample text

it just uses loal. it’s fired, uses iog to turn towards the target, then points its seekerhead to where the target is expected to be and locks on

Thanks for explanation.

As far as I can see the brochure for Astra only talks about the launch of the missile in 90 degree off boresight. It doesn’t say anything with regards to targeting ability.

Like the R-77, it also has the LOAL, so to me looks kind of similar in this aspect as well. Happy to be corrected though.

Lock range is a very deceptive value. It does not give RCS, so the difference in the lock range can come from different reference targets.
