You can set the receiver to disregard return signals that come from beyond the set distance.
Radio/microwave do not simply vanish past a set distance they keep going and will bounce back off objects or other targets. Instead, you set the receiver on the radar to disregard the returns that are coming in beyond that set distance.
There is also a Korean F-16C employment manual. It describes a lot of combat procedures. There are some sections that describe what radar mode to use when you are looking for a target that you expect to be within a given range (eg: lost intercept inside MAR). It recommends the pilot use either a 10 NM scope radar scan or ACM. Meaning that the manual considers the two to be interchangeable for the target ranges.
and lastly, there are T.O’s (for personal use only)
@ZVO_12_INCH brought to my attention that a new model of the MiG-29 (called the MiG-29SM or SM+) appeared last year. Thanks to him. I added it.
Any FM changes today or nah?
Nothing in datamine yet
Gorgeous. Thank you!
Well, my biggest priority flight performance. Engines? what about avionics? Fly-by wire?
There is no such detailed information yet!..Maybe the Serbian comrades will find something…
So far we know that this is an izdeliye 9-12B (see the OP if you’re not sure what it is), some were upgraded to the 9-12SD standard, but all in all brought to more modern standards, including two-seater models. It doesn’t get a PESA or AESA radar but the N019MP Topaz of the MiG-29SMT 9-17 and the KOLS-13SM IRST system. It gets export R-77s (RVV-AE), R-27ER1s and we’re unsure of which R-73 model.
The way I see it is that it’s the 9-17 but without the big spine.
It has its own section in the OP now.
Export version 9-12
Yes, there are two. The 9-12B was the worse of all as it lacked the R-73 and other major weaponry. Yugoslavia had received this one and Serbia inherited it.
The MiG-29SM(+) gives the Yugo tree more potential.
in total, the mig has a thrust shortage of about 1500 kgf, a disgustingly tuned FM, an overestimated inductive resistance
The Yugoslav 9-12B-had R-73 missiles…I do not know the truth exactly from what year …
I was wondering what is the difference in effective range between the R-27T and the R-73 as I feel that they are almost identical.
Still no news on proxy fuze getting fixed? Nearly 2 weeks now.
They are working on the new 79.99$ premiums packs for the next update. Priorities first
In case anyone had problems with the IRST not detecting targets:

Contrast trackers on helicopters are less effective as well. Something something clouds comes to mind
