No PGMs can be intercepted, and they have a huge smoke trail to give away their position.
Happens often if you’re throwing them from long range and the pantsir or VT1 slinger is aware.
The best and easiest way to deal with any SAM at top tier is to fly in at low altitude, popping up so you can see the target at your lock range, firing and dropping back out of view and breaking off.
And you can do this is in any plane with FnF munitions.
i do that, but the only FnF thing i got is the 29T (not TE) on my brick of an Su-22M4.
i can only do that inside 12km (13 if lucky) and cannot get lock if im outside 12.
and i also have no IR seeker so targets gotta be spotted while im looking too.
any tips?

Shouldn’t be a problem, in the GR1 I’m typically locking and launching at 7-6km. The whole idea of the low alt attacks is to get you within vehicle lock range so that if they move it doesn’t matter.
As for no thermals, if you’re hunting SAMs use your RWR to identify which direction they are in and in general just watch their spawns since it’s typically too dangerous to leave it for SAMs at top tier.
Considering were talking about the pantsir…
Not rlly viable.
I think only the tornado can detect the search radar, and the tracking radar is invisible to all…
My sukhoi-22 cries
I have no idea about the absolute latest version. But assuming we dont get additions like CBUs or HARM. Then probably the best Germany can hope for in that regard are glide bombs unfortunately but im not overly familiar with German aircraft.
Unless Germany ends up getting something from another country. CAS could become almost impossible for them until Tranche 2 Typhoons in a year or 2
