Yes, it’s only for AAMs, but I feel like SAMs should have something like that.
I mean, in real life they probably don’t have a lead indicator because they don’t need one when the system tracks the target and the trajectory is calculated properly and not like it is in WT
Kinda feels like an ace combat design also like the Shinden. Pls snail ace combat crossover i beg pls
It’s like an R-23T if it was good
Had it entered production it would’ve been the oldest IRCCM missile to enter service.
It did exist so gaijin could add it, maybe a unique event vehicle or in place of Aim 9L on the JA37Di.
Jaden has more info on the missile but ircc they made like 20 or so with a few test fires.
It was strapped to the Viggen at one point so I don’t see any issues
Was mounted to Drakens also. Its an old missile and its very unique. Id love to see weapons like this in warthunder.
That and the Austrian one with the AIM-9P-5 would be great Draken additions
Didn’t the falcon have some IRCCM properties? Not sure though
I dont remember, sweden had modified falcons amd skyflash but neither are present in game.
Would love falcons though.
Thats if it doesn’t go to Germany.
Found Jadens old post in my bookmarks. He knows way more about the unique missiles than i do.
Also sorry bout the ping Jaden
Pretty sure every IR missile that’s newer than the AIM-9B had some IRCCM properties. They didn’t just wait until the AIM-9M, Magic II, R-73, etc to work on ways to counter flares lol
Is this a IR missile or radar?
IR, Rb73 iirc is the modified and better skyflash. Rb72 is IR
What’s the range of this missile? 10km?
Sorry again for the ping Jaden.
Pretty sure Rb.73 is what the Swedes would called the Skyflash Mk 2 (or Active Skyflash)
You’d have to ask Jaden idk off the top of my head.
Well, if Wikipedia is to be trusted here (and since I have no other sources I’ll have to trust it for the time being) the Rb.73 was a competing development for a Skyflash follow-up. It apparently wasn’t a Skyflash at all, but rather an entirely new wingless ramjet missile.
