Is it really a bird slicer?

It looks like it slices birds, so I’d say it qualifies. I think it’s a French system

no they are just called like that
any bird would just disintegrade if it hits a jet flying at high speeds
doing alot of damage in the process

Additionally to the Suggestion; the Cockpit also a bit different in detail, as I figured not too long ago

That’s what I thought but when he said bird slicers I thought maybe the shape was intended to cut the birds ao they do less damage to the cockpit. Wouldn’t be very efficient though I assume, so yeah

Su-30MKI cant use the MICA
it can use the ASRAAM tho
I have a mighty need
Ah, guess I misread the question then. I thought you meant if it’s the same “bird slicer” IFF used on the F-16 (APX-109).

It can, it was tested afaik
There are reports of the MKI having MICAs tested. Sadly, no images were shown, as tests like those arent photographed iirc
But yea, an inert ASRAAM was mounted

Maybe at some point it’s gonna be standardized and we’ll see them mounted
not many options at 40,000ft unfortunately

Can confirm, anything can be a bird slicer if it’s going fast enough.
Spoiler
Although like you said, more of a bird disintegrator in reality.

Well - All I know is that they need to fix the ridiculous Ghost shells.!! 5 in a single match in arow - PING and PL all good so I know its not my system.!
Also - Caught out an invisible tank on replay.!! 2 tanks passed my path - Same time as the Ghost shells started.! PZ4 and an BT, yet on the replay, shots fired in the most random places (ghost shells) and the BT didnt exist.! SOOOOOOOooooo not really sure where to go with that one.!
Could try spy balloons, some Raptor told me they taste good
Dontreadthisleak, the most active leaker, said they weren’t going to leak anything for the next update “if Gaijin doesn’t do anything bad” which is odd
Then Olivia (leaker who talked about game modes and infantry) said she got a Cease and Desist.
Then Gaijin made a statement about making claims about “confirmed” content based on datamining…
From an outside perspective, it sure looks like all of those things are connected. So for right now, real leaks are out of the picture.
We do have plenty of developer and CM comments to go off of, which is why I keep my post at the top of this thread updated.
We’re waiting on the Q&A video that should be arriving sometime soon, as well as the final CM post of the year before the fifth major update. (These may or may not arrive at the same time, that’s what happened last year)
Everyone is talking about Submarines because they were confirmed to be a part of the Q&A video on the Russian livestream for Spearhead.
That’s what we know now, and when we’ll probably learn more.
