No clue, they might be copy/paste, waiting for the missile sheet to be updated (and also probably a jaek video)
If that’s the case, it may be acceptable!
I haven’t be able to watch the live streams fully live, I am catching up just now, hahah.
Anyway, dev server should become available for download soon, and ready for entry in about a hour!

Hasn’t Ukraine had some NATO weapons integrated on their Russian kit?
Yeah I had that with this update so far as well. The last updates were kind off boring naval wise. But the new East German boat is right up my alley. The new Soviet one has funny torpedo launchers but overall it’s just another hydrofoil but with other armament. The torpedo launchers are anti submarine Torpedos right will they maybe get homing capatabilities?
mostly self-contained non-datalink stuff I think
The base AAM-4 is close to the AIM-120C-5, AAM-4B is at C-7 level. The source also references Jane’s and should therefore be viewed with some skepticism.

Not as agile as an R-73, but still very agile for a non thrust vectoring missile haha
Essentially, in comparison to the 120A, the R-77 has: greater acceleration, greater initial pull, substantially worse range, substantially more drag, substantially worse agility over longer ranges (due to lower energy and a lack of a sustainer) and marginally worse guidance.
That’s not to say that the 120A has poor acceleration or initial pull though, because it doesn’t. A large portion of the time, a shot an R-77 could hit a 120A could equally hit, unless its for example a relatively high off bore shot. Therefore, 120A is definitely a lot more versatile and capable of hitting targets within a wider range of opportunity relative to an R-77.

Any info about Gripens getting Litening III?
Dont want to misinfo dump, but I think they’ve experimented with IR’s
I dont think anything radar guided though
Wouldn’t make much sense to since they’re looking to use F-16’s and other NATO vehicles
That is an exceptional circumstance because of the dire need and from what I have heard these weapons do not perform to full ability because the plane is missing targeting and datalink features
Citation?
Why is the T-80UE1 premium…

They’ll get them when gaijin finally decides to give the Tornado GR.1 and Harrier GR.7 LITENING and Sniper pods respectively
Then it’s not just straight up better or worse, but rather, asymmetrical balance. Interesting!
Kinda like R-73 and AIM-9M; R-73 is better in every single way… except for longer range reliability; in that regard, AIM-9M is generally better.
So, as of now, R-77 vs AIM-120A seems to be a similar case; R-77 better for close ranges, AIM-120A better for longer ranges.
I see, nice!
Nah they’re effectively the same. 120A to 120B was basically just a software upgrade and in game this change would be incredibly marginal if present at all; think of it as AIM-7F → AIM-7M in terms of War Thunder.
