shi is basically an r530
well thats better than the 2.5 G of the target overload, seems that the original r40s are not that bad afterall
R is pulse and RD homes on CW. However it would depend at the RWRs frequency range bc the frequency is higher than usual at 16GHz.
On the R, don’t think it would so but F3 Tacman mentions 2 frequencies for the MiG25P, 12.8-13.1 GHz and 9.1-9.7 GHz. Maybe 1 is for missile&tracking and another for search.
Read, (for example) and what happens to engines when over
Its not.
Only thing I see is you claiming those individuals have made claims. I have yet to see these claims.

RD uses inverse monopulse as it is based on the R24 seeker

what do you think continuous wave is btw?

Well, inverse monopulse is a distintively different guidance method, they are not the same, a aim 9m has an inverse monopulse seeker, the aim 9F uses a CW seeker, you can search by yourself the technical differeces if you want.
Edit, i misunderstood. him, i thought he was lalking about the seeker not the signal.
how does the R-33 compare to R40RD
Ka-bot 15 has made a video where he details his sources, this is what I am basing my claim on

r-33 has 4g target overload… so it’s pretty terrible… (rvv-bd brochure, rvv-bd is 8g, 8/2 is 4)
Spoiler
Just wanted to say thanks to those who found the 15G figure for the R-40 missiles. That Iraqi MiG-25 manual was not available at the time I first made this thread on the old forum.
I’m still around from time to time, checking all of my threads.
Sometimes that is a meaningless stat if we’re trying to figure out said missile’s maneuverability or ability to hit the target. Like the Phoenix, it’s most likely advised to any pilot operating with R-33 missiles to fire only when their target is pulling 4G because R-33s need to correct their path flight upon launch and fly high/loft. Firing them in dogfight scenarios wouldn’t be ideal. But their actual maneuverability in the air when tracking their targets is good.

Guys, can we all agree that the MiG-25/31 will be fast, shoot big missiles, and be lots of fun? I want these added more than any other plane now that we have the 106.
mig-31 is the only one that has a semblance of a chance of being fun. mig-25 is just gonna be hot garbo, literally just a worse mig-23mld

Updated engines too, post says, anything more specific on those?

can you explain this ? 8 r60m ?
Thechnically, there were triple pylons for R-60s. But they weren’t as reliable as double pylons so they weren’t used widespread. But iirc there is nothing that prohibits usage of double/triple pylons on any station, apart from weight or space restrictions
