I forgot to mention this, Israel at this moment really needs an AA urgently
HVSD/ADAMS would fit perfectly ngl

the F16s AGMs are also are worse, and tended to miss and or not kill
at the time of the SMTs release? yes, nowadays? Not anymore. Mavericks are stupid consistent kills.
But the kill potential was still on the F16s side
and now russia has the pantsir that can easily intercept all 6 AGMs

Mig29 was short range interceptor, f16 was light multirole, makes sense
Agreed, but the ballistics on the mavericks are absolutely atrocious and allow them to be intercepted 99% of the time

I believe the goal is to have none
can doesn’t mean will?
just like you have experience having mavericks shot down by a pantsir, I have plenty of clips of me still killing them in everything from an A-10 to a 16AM
Fun Fact - The Average Pantsir player only intercepts a missile if he sees it get launched

I have clips of me killing Leopard 2s in the M22 (:
In addition to bombing points that aren’t dependent on you dropping huge tonnage in the general vicinity, but require a single accurate bomb (Think the bunker in Top Gun Maverick)
Not always, sometimes the missile explodes but does not destroy the ATGM, or most of the time there are so many ATGMs on the way that it is difficult to destroy them all before they reach you.
you got over 100 of them? Because I kill at least 1 pantsir a game in the 16AM, with mavericks.
The most frustrating game of Space Invaders
So waste every single Maverick you have to POTENTIALLY kill the Pantsir who has already fired on you since you spawned

you do know you can just pull down and avoid the missile? then approach again from an advantageous angle?
Edit: like the Jet still has the advantage of dictating the terms of the fight…
Supersonic jets are… supersonic…
No, I do, but compared to defeating a VT-1 or an ADATS, the process of killing a Pantsir is insane
