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

yes

but the point is that apparently the base r-37 hit a target at 162nmi which is around 260km and is stated to have a max range of 215nmi which is roughly 400km

which means that the 400km range figure for the r-37m actually comes from the base version

That makes sense, here it explicitly states it stores the target tracking information in RAM here for mig-31


Probably the mig-31 had more space in the radar for ram as its radar was humongous compared to the mig-29

well, i know that RVV-BD has reduced range to comply to international laws about long range missiles export

iam not talking about the RVV-BD iam talking about the r-37 and r-37m

also the N019 would have had to guide in the missiles by pulsing CW onto the targets while in TWS to update the IOG of the r-27

so it dosent fully guide them in but relies on the missiles IOG

well, current “combat record” is 213km for R-37M. Tho it isn’t specified if this was the range to the target at the moment of launch or at the moment of hitting it.

I was talking about this before. Since R-27 only activates seeker at the later stage of its flight similar to ARH missiles it should be able to be launched in TWS mode

thats not what iam talking about

iam talking about how guiding multiple r-27r/er at once would theoretically work with the N019 or N001

and the source i posted even says that it can be lauched in tws

Surely the updates in tws would take far too long, as the missile would only receive an update every ~4ish seconds, though that’s okay for non maneuvering targets

170ish km

i mean thats only my theory

its also possible that through GCSI the radar would have been told where to point the CW beam and then just switch betweeen the targets

you are talking about 28th of July 2024?

I forgot from when the hud footage was from, but it was from 2024. Though, I can’t find anything other than random news articles for the 213 r37m kill

this?

Yeah that one, but I forgot the date from when the actual hud footage was taken

well, source post also says about 213km that were claimed

But that’s nonsense as you can see 170km on the hud lol

Zalson radar performance.

Spoiler

¯_(ツ)_/¯ what can i say, claim is 213 km.

Claim is 213 km because they don’t know what a TTT indicator is lol and don’t know 213 is in seconds not km. 213km is nonsense, it was 170km
