However, except for a slightly larger diameter than PL17, the length of SM6 is much smaller than PL17, and there will be no phenomenon of single pulse being greater than double pulse
Unless SM6 carries a booster, it can only be within range PL17
But this way, no plane can safely carry it
But even just GPS or GPS+SAL would be more than enough from that weapon system right now.
And thats only if Brimstone doesnt get an IOG buff. Should be barely any drift
I want to know how Gaijin will make IRIST and FB-10A Is their guidance mode DL+IR or pure IR
Hopefully they and the Spyder get DL so their ranges aren’t severely handicapped.
If only IR is available, the range of both missiles will be reduced by at least half
The IRIS-T won’t be reduced by that much, but it’ll be close.
If it’s IR, then their locking limit should be at 10KM, while FB10A has a range of 17KM
The IRIS-T SLS’s range is 12km. 10km isn’t half of that.
So IRIST will reduce by 2KM, FB10A will reduce by 7KM
Regardless, however, DL should definitely be added with them.
Agree, otherwise adding IRIST and FB10A to gaijin will be meaningless
Possibly, but even then within it’s range the SM-6 should be far more capable
The SD-10A is worse than the PL-12.
I"m sure you meant the SD-10, and not the SD-10A which is supposed to be a foreign designation of PL-12A.
No, the SD-10A is worse than the PL-12.
I’ve heard that SD-10 is worse than the PL-12. But why would the SD-10A be worse than the PL-12?
Reduced range.
Bear with me, if SD-10 has reduced range compared to PL-12, and SD-10A has reduced range of PL-12A. Why would SD-10A still have reduced range compared to PL-12 when it is a reduced range version of PL-12A?

IRIS-T SLS doesn’t have datalink at all. That’s only a thing on SLM and in the future SLX and HYDEF. Also, the seeker range on IRIS-T is 25km, so even the SLMs range won’t be halfed by a lack of DL
