They better not, unless they start treating other nations vehicles similarly

Also, from looking at the suggestion that QF-106 seemed to only carry illuminating flares, not countermeasure flares

yo quick ask grind for hstvl or m1a2

2 or 3 variants to researchable tree, my guess

But, before F-104 or F-4C ?

8.7 ~ 9.0 before F3H-2 ?

But I don’t know F7U-1 fitted afterburning or none-afterburning engine

F5D-1 battle rating 9.3 ?

Not forgot F4D-1 early with Pratt & Whitney J57-P-2 engine (slightly worse event vehicle)

The early USA bomber turbojet engine before B-57 group ?

Before F-104 group at the early rank VI ?

If I had to choose one I’d go for the HSTV-L tbh

Aren’t most NATO GNSS Weapons compatible with GALILEO as well? They certainly should be, given it’s more precise

Depends on whether it is just cutting off from GPS satellites or generally cutting off from datalink/GNSS

Galileo is an EU-System. The US can’t cut them of from that. But stuff like Datalink Satellites would be a problem, I don’t know of any EU nation that has their own (maybe France does, that would be a thing they do)

Could they even work with F-35’s, if they did exist?

I’m pretty sure all of the American GNSS guided weapons use their NAVSTAR GPS only

If they use the same protocol as the US ones they should, unless the US has build a filter into the software to block specific satellites. Tho that would also require a way to identify which satellite the info is coming from, and idk if datalink does that. It wouldn’t be surprising if it does tho

That would be pretty dumb imo, but also something the US would absolutely do

Well, GALILEO is civil operated, not military operated and I believe that so far GALILEO has not been used for weapon guidance.

Im pretty sure the usa removes the ability to connect to a gps/gnss satellite

While I coudn’t find any Info on if its currently used for weapons guidance, it definitely can be.

As in can turn the GNSS receivers on the F-35 of? If that can be done remotely that would very stupid

why do some top tier planes like f15a f18c late f15e etc have to grind through non-irccm fox2s like 9L while other top tier planes (mig29g and mig29smt for example) capable of carrying non-irccm missiles like R-60 IRL dont have to?

Well, R-60s are pure garbage at that point, so they are not even an option on those planes

As to why the Sidewinder carrying planes have to grind through the modules, easy, Gaijin loves money.

Afaik the amount of RP you need stays the same even if the modifications didn’t exist, you would just have one thing less to unlock. They could still put the IRCCM missiles at a lower spot to make you grind other potentially useless mods first.
