Oh trust me, I know all about it ;)
But yeah Python 4 will take a little bit of time, however I don’t think it’s comparable to the 9X. It’s more of a in between compared to things like the 9M/R-73 vs the R-73M/R-74 or Aim-9X, IRIS-T, ASRAAM, and all those other modern thrust vectoring missiles.
the lavis rader is eltas EL/M 2032 it can fire darbys with the radar but i dont think it had them
No, it had the Elta EL/M-2035. 2032 derived from it.
it depands on wich prototype u mean
No prototype had the 2032, as I don’t even think it existed at the time.
hold on let me check
Gaijin was willing to give the Yak-141, an unfinished prototype, multiple production standard inclusions such as flares/chaff, a radar, RWR, and missiles it would have used. The radar the Lavi had theoretically could have used Derbys and the aircraft would have mounted Python 4s in service.
There’s an included poll on the original Lavi suggestion asking the community if these weapons should be included, which a slight majority voting yes. Unless gaijin has double standards, I believe it will receive those additions, or we’ll see the Lavi prototype and a also Lavi production aircraft to give the Israeli air TT more uniqueness.
Never trust or use wiki as your main source. Use the sources in wiki if you must/can, but they’re hardly reliable…
I hope so
forget about wiki, i live in israel i saw the lavi in the museum and there was a guy whos working there who said that the radar is elta EL/M 2032
If the museum that currently holds a Lavi prototype states it has that radar, I’m pretty sure it can be used as a primary source. See if you can find anywhere online where the museum specifically states that it uses the radar and that would be the best kind of source you can get.
However the sources for the Lavi suggestion here on the forums state it used the Elta EL/M-2035 radar.
Tbf, the post does have a lot of misinformation, but yea, it only carried the 2035. It’s easy to mix up with the 2032, as back then it was made for the Lavi (but as far as I know, it wasn’t mounted). It should be noted however that it had the possibility to fire ARH missiles.
ill try for you
u r right it confusing
Apparently some sources state the PL-8B also has a big engine upgrade, making it a lot faster than the PL-8, which might explain why gaijin doesn’t want to add it.
The 2035 seems to be the better choice anyway, given the addition of TWS and potentially datalink channels for ARH.
the 2032 also have that. it says that on IAI main website. want me to send u?
yeah, they said it use more advanced rocket engine, but still pulling 40g.
