I wonder if due to the fact IRIS-T is coming, will they rework VL allowing for free aiming, or will they keep it TOR like, just turn forward and go (very bad idea, forcing SLS to turn around all the time.)
I think there will be something new, consider the iris-t is hot launched, and it has TVC itself
also, it should come with radar command, the radar slave will direct it
Like a slightly faster R-27ET cant wait for a single puff of flares to defeat it
That paper is specifically talking about early AIM-9Ms when faced with slow rise time flares used by the Soviets.
The AIM-9M was developed and tested against American flares (as they were readily available), and apparently performed very well against them. They later found out that due to a design flaw in the seeker the IRCCM circuit would not properly trigger against slow rise time soviet flares.
Once the issue was discovered the seeker design was updated with AIM-9Ms produced after the fix no longer having the issue

I hope so, but at the same time i hope it will impact other missiles that are both hot (for example swingifre) and cold (9M331) launched
dont say hop before you jump. I can see a scenario where they limit both it and 625E to LOBL.
well i was told that russia should have build better jets whenever it was mentioned that the flanker FM is underperforming yk
just returning the favor
As is Typhoon and tons of other vehicles.
We now have actual combat use of a 9M and their appraisal stated it was superior to R-73
and we have the flight manual of the su27 and gaijin refuses to fix the flanker fm
that would be too boring, choosing two datalink ir spaa but do nothing.
and, I guess it’s hard for iris-t to function without DL, after all it’s VL. you can’t point it to enemy
Yeah that sucks when Gaijin wont make changes.
Our manual is classified 🤣

Pergerine might actually go somewhere because of this new interest.
Apparently peregrine is planned to have multimode seeker

With the push to model more turret baskets and the like, I hope we can eventually see more properly modeled autoloaders that briefly adjust and lock the barrel into a certain position for the reload. As well as the barrel salute for some vehicles.

Well…
the VT-4 and F-14A might actually be possible.
The Leopard 2A8’s as well, since Norway ordered them.
And on December 20th 2024 Taiwan did receive SEPV2 abrams tanks.
And Russia tested Centauro tanks in 2012:
Funny story:
In 1976 Lieutenant Viktor Belenko of the Soviet Air Defense Forces defected by flying his Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25P “Foxbat” aircraft from near Vladivostok in the Far East of the Soviet Union to Hakodate Airport in Hokkaido Prefecture of Japan.
Thus Japan having captured a MiG-25P making Japan able to have a MiG-25P for their TT.

The markings on the F-14 are USN, they are just similar to Japanese markings
