IRL yes, “wait for dev stream” moment I suppose as no info in the blog yet.

If it was going to be made to just be a proxy mav i am sure it would have been said. Heres hoping for a lovely counter to the Pantsir! xD

Hungary used R-73s so I doubt it
I think it’s going to be a G equivalent

Wiki says they are a part of debt compensation from Russia, which are 9.12A and UB, and not an export variant. The 9.12A in warthunder only features R-27R/ER/T/ET and R-60M, and this is most likely how it goes. They should be of course, R-73 capable.

Spoiler

For sure worth a trip.

Would be nice if they gave it R73s

I can imagine that being the outcome, MiG-29 9.12A(Fulcrum-A) but armed with R-73s at 12.7, avoiding controversies of adding the JAS39CHU right now when the Swedish had theirs delayed.

It’s TV guided, has a datalink pod so can be manually guided. It has been confirmed that it can target tanks as well:

I would be ok with that.

Yeah I honestly don’t know which outcome would be better
R-73 MiG but no Gripen or R-60M MiG with Gripen
In Gaijin fashion of course we will probably get a MiG with R-60Ms and no Gripen))
