no
it is a modification of a python but it isnt identical to it

Yes I know that but it is heavily based on the python 4
Overall its for sure going to be a better r73 but we need to see what stats it will get

It retains the body shape and the fuse
Everything else is different
No they cant be the same
P5 is lighter and if im not mistaken smaller too
It has more range and in general optimize aiframe to have less drag or smt otherwise it wouldnt have 20km+ and full sphare capability
And before u ask i allready sended sources from official iaf magazine few times around here and on the spyder thread
it litterally says it righ there
Says what?
Based on the p4 aiframe yes not identical
“Python-5 maintains Python-4’s unique aerodynamic airframe”

Again
Maintains the key features but no the same
How can it be the same if the missile lighter, looks diffrent (mainly fins) and has more surface area?
Python 5 can do bvr over 20km
Python 4 max range is 15km
its a big difffance
Bro i was talking about the derby
Ik that the p5 is different
What?
I didnt commnted on ur comment
They appear to be kinematically identical, look at the screenshot @ron_23 has provided.
“Python 5 maintains Python 4’s unique aerodynamic airframe, INS, powerful rocket motor, warhead and proximity fuse”
Therefore it’s range, maximum overload etc should be the same
Read what i commented on that
Its based on p4 yes but not identical
If it says maintains python 4 air frame that means they’re identical
No it isnt he means it based on the python 4 airfarme key features
U will know that if u read aboit the python 5 deeply
How can it be the same when it looks diffrent, have more range ,faster ,longer and lighter by like 15 20kg
so python 4 is like R-74M2?
essentially, but without datalink and less range and less maneuverability
the 74M2 got datalink?i thought it’s LOAL was IOG only unless there was earlier archers with IOG LOAL and the M2 got DL LOAL
r74m2 first r73 derivative with iog and loal, r74m does not have iog or loal.
Igs is inertial guidance and radio correction channel is datalink
from what i know LOAL does not specify whether the system finds the target through IOG means, such as with the AIM-4 falcon or the python 4 as we’re discussing, or it can work through datalink like the AIM-9X-2
