lol
Too much wikipedia in it)
Even proposed modernization AKM1 had only 700 m/s, while for AKM it’s 500 m/s.

Spoiler

The ballistics range is technically up to 15km, but the launcher can only guide it up to 10.

it’s target speed, not missile speed, 500 is too slow for a SAM

if you look at Wikipedia the chances that you actually find the stats for the version we’re looking here are near zero

if you check the Wikipedia stats for the MiG-21 you’ll find they say it had R-73 and R-77 which isn’t quite right but not really wrong either

the leak had an earlier missile than the one Wikipedia lists

Nope, it’s missile speed. Also Roland 2 is 500 m/s as well, Roland 3 is 570 m/s.

you can’t reach a 500m/s target with a 500m/s missile, isn’t it?

Hmmm… yeah. Although this document tells 500 m/s for missile.

Idk

500m/s = 30km/min = 1800km/h = Mach 1.45

sure it’s slow for ammunition but that thing should still be able to catch stuff

Helis mostly, its not going to do much against planes.

Any idea if there is a possibility of new Tornados other than the GR.4?
