Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

The datamine/leak of it a few months ago said its IRCCM would be effectively identical to that of the AIM-9M.

Teaser on which timeline? I suppose not the Warhammer 40K timeline, since I’m busy fighting against Tyranids with my brothers yesterday, no message from Terra

Yeah, asraam is still more optimized for longer ranges

So essentially 9M IRCCM with slightly more pull than R-73. Noted.

Not the Silent Hill one, either. I’m still looking for Mary.

And marginally better range.

It was still WIP, could also be same situation with aam3 which doesn’t use it’s actual irccm

It is getting harder to achieve data while missiles are becoming much more modern. So I still guess MICA IR = Aim-9X B1> Python 4 but 9X would cause russian mains to ask an R74 or something like that

The AAM-3 should also use dual axis pulling, but that’s a discussion for another day.

R73M should be enough for now which would increase its high off boresight capabilities

In a wrong timeline.

I still dont understand why Israeli Jets doesnt have Python-4.

We already got MICA and R73 and MICA-IR will most likely come very soon, so adding Python-4 right now isnt game breaking by any means.

Bvr is meta anyways and ir missiles are less significant

I still carry one or two ir missiles for cqc engagements and they still make differences, having Python-4 will make Israel jets more unique.

I mean look at Israel F-16C,it can carry both Aim-120 and Derby at the same time which makes it very potent for both close and long range engagements, adding Python-4 will make it even more unique.

Guys we’re never beating the allegations.

In my opinion, even if you can carry all Fox-3, like on the F-15s, you should still carry at least two IR missiles for when you do get in those, also.
