If Sea Harrier FRS51 came without Derby ARH missiles. Then yeah, it could be a half decent 11.3 ish Premium. But Id doubt for the TT. Just wouldnt be any point. It would be a worse version of the Gr7 for A2A

I don’t know why this keeps being repeated, but AFAIK, the first leaker (orange guy as I call him) claimed the Chinese leaker made a mistake. That’s it. No other proof.

So you either believe the first guy, or trust the Chinese leaker (with good track record so far), who is known for making corrections to mistakes…

Granted, I’m very biased towards to XF-2A and F-2 early right now, but this being RR&D, I’m not going to rule it out without some confirmation from the source (or it missing from dev stream/server, whichever is first).

Further reading into the russian forum, you are likely correct. IR jammers weren’t mounted, only the sensors for detecting incoming missiles (that, however, are part of the Vitebsk-25 system).

That’s what I unfortunately suspected. Theirs this video posted claiming to be a SM3, and it seems to ‘evade’ several Manpands without even doing anything crazy, which makes me wounder if it does indeed somehow have DRICM, but we can’t even get a good look at the cockpit to even confirm if it’s an SM3

I hope that they will not add the hungerian air tree. Full of copy and paste stuff …

Does anyone have any evidence of the Kh-25MT and MTP even existing? It’s very hard to find info on them.

besides that, looks like it just got out manoveured and it was an older manpad without proxy head

there are MANPADS without Proxy fuse?

Maybe, but the planes hardly changing course and it’s a perfect rear aspect shit for the missiles, so I find it hard to believe that it dodged all of them

We even have several in game yes

i mean, what do you think the stinger e is FIM-92E, beggars cant be choosers they took any donation could be plenty older manpad variants without proxy under it

not realy at 0:39 u saw the missle practicaly flying 90° from him, thats more like the worst possible shot, it then took the sharp corner and missed him from behind

The one in the video looks like it has the old ASP-17 Weapon Sight instead of the Su-25SM3’s SOI-U-25 Head Up Display seen below

It’s almost certainly just an Su-25 rather than an SM3.

I’m sure you meant to say Beggars:)

Ok, then the video is just completely dishonest lmao, average reddit post on a military thread I suppose

looking back at the su25sm3 upgrade picture it has a soi-u25-2-1
