Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 & MiG-31 Foxbat / Foxhound - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

they are still fine, should perform around the same as the r23

hmmm interesting information thx you i saw a Russian documentary claiming that r40 has maximum g turn of 24g compared to the r24 that’s what i base my information on and as in mig25 there was polite who pulled if im correct 7g without structural damage so yeah maybe its more then just that

does the mig-31 have CMs ? if so where are they located ?

yeah and the r-23R is horrendous in game. r-23t is good though

mainly due to the longer guidance delay 1.7 seconds is horrendous, and autopilot, the r40 has a shorter minimun range, and since it has the seeker of the 24r, it has the short delay and also has ins which along side the massive warhead should be quite decent

yeah r23 act like aim7e so doesn’t pull form the get go unlike the r23t

elmo-embarrassed but fr tho where is my beloved mig25 man its a bummer the didn’t add it yet

wait i forgot that they also have a dogshit variable gain, thing, they cannot turn untill 2.5s and they they just turn at 8g another 2.5s

at least R-40R doesn’t give RWR launch warning to any RWR because of the way it works (i think R-40RD doesn’t too but im not 100% sure)

btw i found R-40R/T missile max overload number in mig25P manual (15G)

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

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
