Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

I see.

looking at the other side platform maybe the flanker variant would make more sense, MiG-25 would be a little harder to play imo.

Mig-25 wouldn’t really be the equivalent of something like the datamined nuke F-16 plane nor would it fall under the 4th generation would it?

it was a joke
becasue the is actually a nuclear capable Mig-25 variant

also it says likely

not it will be 100%

According to the U.S., Yes.

It likely can carry smaller nukes like RN-40s which are only like 250kg.

This is still 30kt of TNT equivalent.
we need RN-40 with UMPK

is the fullback nuclear capable?

Pilots can definitely nuke the toilet, dunno about a city or objective though.

Not from the factory I think. And with Russia prioritising missiles as a main carrier of “special ordnance” I am not sure that there are conversion kits for it. On the other hand we live in a digital world, don’t think that creating and integrating a software to work with nuclear codes is something insurmountable

You can see through the R-73 lens via your mirrors in the KR

Supposedly these are simulated nuclear bombs. Idk if this is true or some translation issue, or if the site is to be trusted.

But as @GitGood, It wouldn’t be too hard to wire nuclear weaponry into the FCS of the Su-34, considering how modern many of them are.

And then someone will have a genius idea of making pilot enter the code for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY

I mean to be fair you probably don’t need to drop 10 nukes on 1 location, so they would probably drop a nuke, fly off, drop another, then repeat.

that applies to basically every jet that has the r73

it is also not consistent if you can see through it or not
similar to the leading edge flaps
(fun fact the yak141 has 2 sets of leading edge flaps in the mirror)

would be funny having to do something like a helldivers stratagem call in before you are able to drop your nuke

24 symbols code, mess up once, nuke goes off immediately

butterfingered my engine button trying to check the missile cam. EF-2000 tried to kill me with guns while i was without working engines. He missed, overshot and ate R-73 while i was teamkilled by Su-30MKK with a bomb load… Current top tier sure is something else man
