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.

Did the Indians buy the r-37m or is Wikipedia lying to me

There are ongoing discussions to equip them but nothing concrete yet. Basically, the IAF has realized that the Su 30 is getting outranged compared to the PL15 equipped J10 and JF-17.

Why don’t they just slap meteors on everything?
lower costs and less effort to integrate the RVV-BD perhaps? idk

Operationally it would also be better to use meteors, they’re already gonna use them a lot with the amount of Rafales they have and the ones they ordered. But yeah they probably did it for short term cost
bars cant be used with meteor no ? or is it too old for it.

Meteor outranges bars lol.
It would really only be worth if they replace the radar

they will probably implement their missile rather then meteor, astra mk2 or mk3. they wont buy russia, even if they do, they wont get their weapons and use india one.
i have feeling but i am not sure, india is buying all the stuff just to reverse it and call it made in india.
