BRM1 honest to god reaction:
on more serious note, its frustrating, really.
getting confirmation from the manufacturer of weapon system is as close as we can get to true primary source without using classified documents.
But these are treated on same level as using wikipedia as source for some god forsaken reason.
Is it just me or does the SLM just straight up refuse to launch its missiles sometimes? Like I have to spam “Fire” just to get one missile to launch.
Because it’s unreliable IRL. I’ve even seen videos of IRIS-T system almost killing troops operating it.
oh wait…
Insert pantsir video 📸
i just gonna report the smokeless motor again with only video proof of slm being smokeless
Edit: done, Community Bug Reporting System
Hello
The response was not from the mods information, but a response from the developers themselves.
This is now being discussed with them. If we have any news back on it, we will update the reports accordingly.
who knows maybe they misunderstood because they thought of SLS instead of SLM and by calling it “SL” it creates confusion 🤷♂️
maybe time to update the naming scheme
Hey, are there any news/updates regarding the interception capabilities ? Because right now it can intercept enemies munitions only by sheer luck, even slow ones like GBUs/AGMs (KH38 seem to be almost immune to it)
almost there:
right next to each other:
Tokyo Drift:
The only intercepts that work are direct hits, proxy does not work or does no damage
PS:
Happy 405 x3
Yes, I already wrote about that in an eralier post in this thread: Iris-t slm - #1228 by kensai16
TL;DR: Red flame means the propellant contains lithium instead or additionally to aluminium. Aluminium only would burn orange/yellow. Lithium gives higher thrust so the bigger rocket motor of the SLM should give more thrust than an equivalently sized SLS rocket motor would.
isnt aster 30 a 450kg missile literally a telephone pole that goes mach 4.5 with 50g turn and 120km range that’s literally busted like you can try notching it sure but this thing ain’t some slow mach 2.2 cugh cugh 120c-7 it’s mach 4.5 it will close the gap before you even realize so multipathing is only thing will work against it unlike irist slm that barely gets 30km and Mach 3 (allegedly) and 40g turn (allegedly)
Actually, the first stage is 50G. The second stage is more like 60G.
It’s also probably close to Mach 3.5-mach4 in most situations yes. That’s how it gets its very long range. Still the question of nothing and multi path.
Idk if my eyes deceive me… in two out the three videos, the missile has a visible (even in the night time lounches) smoke trail…
thats a contrail, not a smoke trail

SLX is still being developed. This article mentions that, if ordered fast, it could enter service in 2029: Luftwaffe sieht Bedarf für die Beschaffung von Iris-T SLX
So still a couple years out. Not surprising tbf, Diehl only revealed the project last year.
SLX has at least been a plan for years at this point…
Has it? Every article I’ve read about it said it was revealed on last years ILA
well the diagrams including the whole SL family and HYDEF date back to at least 2022, possibly even further back
Contrail on the launch, 5 meters off?.. second video around 6:25-29.
ever exhaled during the winter?
Condensation is not limited to high altitudes. With right conditions they can form at any altitude.
