Oh idr if this was posted above but, seems like Kh-38M finally has it’s first foreign operator, saying I’m not mis-IDing it.

wait, that could be peak
This is not the same airframe as I was talking about but yes it exists… On the combat incapable aerodynamics testbed/Airshow toy.
secondary source gives thrust of 7700n for r-73 but idk how accurate that is…
thats more than a rocketdyne F-1 at sea level

yeah you’re right, probably should’ve made sure i said N and not Kn, kn is ridiculous lmao
Gaijin uses moscow aviation institute papers directly from vympel for data on R-27 and R-73, I assure you they are accurate for the most part.

i mean considering they couldn’t get as something as simple as the gimbal limit for r-27r right after all these years I sincerely doubt it.

(its 60 degrees irl and not 55, 55 is gimbal limit after launch for r-27et/t)

Dawg egypt had it this entire time…
Have they? I can’t recall them ever being shown off besides on the desert-schemed demo w/ mockups but those aren’t even live ones…
… Very clearly an Egyptian airframe yes…
Gaijin gets things wrong all the time even when they have numerous sources on things, I am not sure why this is surprising to you. Another thing to note is that this was such an inconsequential change they probably did see it and just overlooked it in the grand scheme of things.
They did not obtain the vympel docs until later, so the initial versions of the missile were tailored to fit existing information they had at the time.

guys, is it me or MiG-29’s TWS for Rubin radar broken? like it can’t track vertically and you had to point your nose to selected target or manually set the radar stabilizer so the target you chose keep illuminate
This wasn’t happen in like 6 months ago (or the last time I play MiG-29 (before nuclear thunder) god knows when)
It’s normal, neither N019 or N001 follows the target you have selected in TWS vertically

that is normal
its been always like that
I mean right now since the radiaton homing weapons are incredibly accurate, the R-27EP would be incredibly OP. Would be like super manuverable Kh-25MTU with longer ranger, faster, and proximity.
