Good find, but it’s only suited for getting the SLS’s IRIS-T missile’s speed raised back up at best. That is not about the SL missile.

IRIS-T can successfully engage flying targets at a distance of up to 25 kilometers, reaches a speed of clearly more than 3 Mach, weighs nearly 90 kg at a length of 2.94 meters and a body diameter of 12.7 centimeters. The missile is fully compatible with existing Sidewinder interfaces and warrants a high rejection rate against infrared and laser countermeasures.
This, is the IRIS-T (Air Launched)
not the ground one
Still good, i don’t know why they even nerfed the SLS
Because the surface launched maxes out at mach 2, it’s the air launched that is mach 3 for the “normal” IRIS-T.

maybe because the swedish wrote thenself that for the SLS the speed is just M2

That could actually be used for SLM ass well though.

yea, we allready tried it, still waiting for an answer on it
Yes but there is multiple sources stating mach 3 speed for IRIS-T SLM which cannot be mounted on a plane. Unfortunately none of them from official sources.

That and three russian sources I’ve provided XD

Yes, you asked why the SLS was decreased, that is what i answered to.

What is that source considered as? Official government document or is it a study?
Because there’s also a polish independent study that could be used as a M3 source for SLS if studies are accepted as source.
which cant be used because “Russian”

yep…
thats also what our reaction was
Oh yeah, sorry. I’ve been rambling in my head but still there are non official sources stating SLS can reach mach 3 speeds as well. And SLS is also not a platform that can be mounted on a plane. only regular IRIS-T
if you mean this:

allready tried…
The SLS is the exact same missile that is used on planes, it’s just a software update for the guidance logic.
You can literally pick one of a JAS39C, plug a laptop into it for an update and then plop it into the EldE 98
I don’t think that’s true, it’s a big selling point that regular IRIS-T can be used as air defence, i think norway literally sent all the IRIS-T they had (had been used on f-16 and were planned to be used on shorad nasams) to Ukraine so they’re buying 9x, because they’d be waiting a long time with all production iris-t pretty much being sent there.
this
Normal IRIS-T + small update via an PC = IRIS-T SLS, thats it
Yeah but that was together with all the other really bad sources, maybe it’s worth a try with prefacing that these are 2 independent studies released by trusted sources that can be used to model the SLM more accurately.
But we should wait to see what they do with the SLM considering there’s an internal report.
