sp Heavier R-24R you say?
on a plane without a Gun with very little G overload
so definetly below the BR of the MLA/MLD MiG-23
15G overload
that’s all you need to know
no but it might compete with the R-23R for the worst SARH for the BR

More or less, except at close range. They are BIG, HEAVY missiles. The biggest ever produced and fielded actually. So they do not maneuver well off the rail at all. They should be fine once the motor burns out and they are at speed, but off the rail performance will easily be outclassed by something like R27r or Aim7f/m/p, Even Aim7e2 is probably better off the rail.
Hmm…
though if you are using them at short range, then you are using them wrong.
Still sounds like a menace to deal with.
For R40r and R40t this is correct. For R40rd and r40td, I’m not sure this is true. The R40r/t can hit a target maneuvering at 2.5g at 20km alt. The R40rd/td can hit a target maneuvering at up to 8g within the same perimeters, which would imply improved maneuverability on the missile but I can’t find anything to confirm this.
Well and you’d have R60m for up close.

Forgot it got those too.
Facing her won’t be difficult, because if you face her except in BVR you’ll win; it will be difficult to reach her, because you don’t face her before reaching her.
8 of them potentially
Up to 4 actually. The belly pylons are for r40 afaik. You can run them on double pylons on the wings tho.
Okay. So im in my Sea harrier armed with 2x Aim-9Ls.
How do I engage a Mig-25?
4 double r60 pylons under the wings
total of 8
You ground pound and hope he cant find you XD.
Yep, thats what it sounds like

Thanks for sharing that, couldn’t find it
fly below 60m and you’re permanently immune to it
