“It might look American or Chinese on the outside, but the internal subsystems and know-how are almost certainly Russian,”
I don’t think we’ll ever know for sure, tbh. In the event this gets added to the game they could just pick either the R-77 or PL-12 and go with those stats, given that they aren’t too different from each other
IRIS-T copy, first seen in 2021. In September last year, North Korean hackers breached Diehl Defence and presumably got the rest of the info they needed.
The other missiles are the PL-12 derivative, seen properly in May this year.
It’s commonly claimed (by e.g. IISS), but I’ve had a look and I can’t actually find any mention of them in any reputable source. I’ll need to look further though.
Its cause the original 9.12b models weren’t compatible with the e versions of the r27…
Though i only have the radar operations manual for the 9.12b, I would assume its radar is the same as the 9.13b and thus not have the upgrade for the r27e, I’m not sure there’s any differences other than the ecm in the hump.
