ARM were used in ukraine for less than a year, they were completely replaced by medium range drones.
Videos of ukranian using ARMs are all 1/2year old,inconclusive and had zero battlefield impact.
Russia still uses them just becouse they can launch more to put pressure on ukranian AD and let other more impactful munitions go trough.
3 months of drone campaign had thousand time more impact on the war on either side than the use of ARMs in general ever did, even discarding the videos you see ukranians and russians openly complaining about impactful weapons, like himars, geran, lancet, fiber optic drones etc etc, no one ever complained about kh31 and agm88.
What really makes me chuckle is how judging from actual in game testing and not from some kind of simulation HARMs launched from 7km alt and Mach 1 don’t reach 1100m/s at all, ever.
At their peak, when the motor burns out, they just about scratch 900ish m/s and quickly go down from there. Balanced as ever.
:0 they finally released smth new
Yeah, let me collect some. I saw a few from Reddit and Twitter but unblurred war videos get banned all the time there. Gonna add ones that don’t have people shown dying for obvious reasons. I’ll edit this as I find more (also about to try out the new GRB mode that just dropped so may be spotty).
Ураження російського ЗРК ракетою AGM-88 HARM [Червень 2025]
Reportedly AGM 88 HARM missile hitting Russian S300. Filmed inside the system. : r/ukraine (this one is debated if it was a HARM or a loitering munition)
And agreed, especially against the Ai and their bubble. And fair, that’s why I was saying the KH-31P should have been the only one added. You balance speed v radar selection unless they’re going to add the newer AGM-88s that were built around fixing that issue.
Yes and kh31s can’t reach mach 3.5 or 4 as well.
Tbf, that is about Mach 3 (which is 994 m/s). You can sometimes get them to peak over 1000 but it’s wonky launch parameters that you’ll probably never get in game.
ouh its the same ones jabber posted :((( Unfortunately I’m not an expert on these kinds of things but I think in first video it was a loiter munition as well because it seemed to hit the battery and not the radar but I may be wrong of course.
I mean, Russia did suddenly lose a string of S-300s and Pantsir platforms right after they were given to Ukraine. But then again, Russia isn’t exactly going to be going out of their way to give Ukraine good BDA data. And tbf, drones are a dime a dozen in commodity and price in comparison. With both sides lacking air superiority, ARMs really aren’t worth the price as they won’t open an air corridor to justify it.
And ahh gotcha. Didn’t realize Jabber added some. They got some older AGM-88s from what I understand so basically it’s a shotgun blast on those (it’s a bunch of tungsten balls). The objective is to knock the radar out rather than a kinetic strike like how it is in WT.
they seem to be the only confirmed or partly confirmed videos of HARMs and prob the only videos of them being used
If this was about ATACMS i can believe more but I still can’t find a source for effectiveness of ARMs in general in Ukraine :(((
That one and the one where it almost hits the camera man and whizzes maybe 100 feet over him are wild to watch
Oh did we actually provide those? Hell yeah
looks like buk of some sort
there’s this photo, MiG-29 launching a HARM,
That’s the point. HARM reaches almost mach 3 and then immediately loses speed, while while kh31 gets to 3900km/h as seen in game on the map (which is mach 3) and keeps it all the way until impact.
Not equivalent whatsoever no matter how you look at it.
I have no doubts HARM plays effect in suppression of enemy air defense but I can’t find anything about kills, same with Kh-31
for kill count i personally use Oryx, ima have a look on there for anything abt it
