The LaGS retains the DSU-15A/B Active Optical Target Detector laser proximity fuze, which will be deactivated for detonation on impact.
From the Janes Article
Judging with how Vikhr has a proxy fuze, LaGS should as well, but IMO its fine to be always deactivated for balance
theres a janes article?
link plz lol
also it could be interpreted as the proxy fuse being deactivated just before impact in order for impact detonation.
the one from your sources
Oh, that one.
Lol
It wasn’t how i usually see janes (books or scans). Hence, i didn’t realise what you meant by article.
please put it in the game +10000
That‘s interesting, never heard of an air-to-ground AIM-9L
+1
The americans tested the aim-9x against ground targets as well, the IRIS-T has also been used in an air to ground role.
But these are currently testing.
I doubt they will be emplyed as such.
The LaGS will because the aim-9L is an old missile and outdated.
Quite fun, just can not wait to see this tricky missiles in game.
BTW, if missiles nowadays equiped with composite guide head, as you said so.
Meme weapon for the Tornado, why not
Not 9Ls but the US also had the AGM-87 Focus and AGM-122 Sidearm, air-to-ground AIM-9B/C respectively
didnt know it was also heli launched
As I’m aware of there is one variant of sidewinder used as ARM, but I almost forgot its name, the AGM112? I dont know.
Yes AGM-122 SideArm
It looks like an AIM9B, lol
its actually a repurposed aim-9c
Yeah, it is.
This looks like it would be incredibly fun and multi-purpose weapon. I would for sure try using this against planes.
I am wonder if Luftwaffe had ever tested Brimstone on their tornados. There is some information inducates german Tornados have ability to arm with, the passed Suggestion https://forum.warthunder.com/t/panavia-tornado-ids-sle-forever-young/49170 gave a possibility.
+1!
Seems like it would be a great addition to the Tornado, which lacks any AGMs and other platforms that could fit it.
