Quite simple as it’s the name of the missile plus SLM, same goes for the SLS and the SLX. :)
IRIS-T SLS/SLM/SLX for short, medium and long range.

I guess…but that means the Swedish IRSI-T is almost half-dead bofore it even arrived
It will murder Typhoons using Brimstone as the IR seeker mode when it locks on will be near impossible to defeat.
But no I fear it will not help with the Kh-38 and other stand of munitions.
It’ll probably be better than the ITO90M, however not by any meaningful metric.
So things that it will face most. Nice one Mr. Snail
Oh japanese 50km missle with 10km ceiling.
Honestly whats with all those low ceilings.
Derby er only got 12km altitude stated as well if i remember right. In the meantime iris-t slm has altitude statements of 20km
ITO has 8 missiles ready to launch IRIS-T SLS only has 4
If you wont need to guide IRSI-T missle yourself, then yeah, it will be better in that case. Probably with G-limit will be better also…but other then that? EHhhhhhhhhh
Within range, FnF missiles are almost always better than SACLOS ones, and both the IRIS-T SLS and VT1 have 12km range.

Technically also 8 missles if you set a ammo box next to yourself
the energy level is a big gap. VT-1 gets nearly 4 mach max speed while IRIS-T only less than 3mach.
VT-1’s max operating range is about 8, IRIS-T should be shorter
You can reliably kill a su34 with a VT1 at 10km range, with the SLS it will be quite a bit harder to impossible, it will have bigger time to target and will probably just fall out of the sky at more than 10km.
MAYBE, we will be lucky and it will be a modification to unlock
I expect it to be no less than a year and a half away.
U are forgetting burn time mattering a lot
Iris-t is a tvc missle they have more constant burn to move. Meaning it reaches bigger ranges even if it has a speed limit.
U cant compare it to the chapparol
It has a 10-12km range, with an 6km altitude ceiling.
Some people here apparently just dont know what burn time and similar in a missle is.
Max speed is not everything in a missle
You seem to be lost.
What this have to do with Warthunder?
I thought this was the war thunder fourms not warno
