100000% official and safe . Missile can do 60g but seeker can only see 45 degrees

it’s literally a marketing brochure from a russian aerospace company

Yep

G pull abilities and seeker FOV aren’t linked.

Oh I see that now, then the 40gs must be a balance decision.

??? Ahh ok, good to know, so the missile can only lock up to 45º what do you want 60G for then ? the missile doesn’t target hit at 60G you know ?

No, it’s the missile’s real status

according to what/who?

It doesn’t look like it, so far brochures have said 60gs and some unofficial sources have said 40-50Gs

seeker performance and maximum kinematic performance are two different things, considering the missile has tvc, instant off the rail pull and is linked to an HMD helping with HOBS it isn’t surprising to see such a seeker here. especially considering this is a 1980’s missile

G overload for thrust vectoring missiles does not matter as they will being doing far under the limit on HOB shots.

Yes, I make a missile and it says it makes 100G to sell, but that doesn’t mean it does.

do you have anything nearly as solid as this disproving it does? if you’re just here to say it’s all marketing lies and not provide sources there are other places on the web

In a very short time, only when the missile is launched

All sources say 40-50 ( 50 only in rare peaks ) and 12 G for target hit

which. sources?

These are just a few, but I don’t have the patience to send you more, so if you want to know more, look for them.
