R-73 (40G) vs. AIM-9X (50G) – Where's the 60G fix for R-73?

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.

So your sources are a thread here with the first message providing no sources on the R-73 and the second message giving the correct number and 3 web articles of questionable quality… jesus…

Incorrect, TVC is very good at destroying all the speed the missile has. Lower speed means smaller turn radius, decreasing lateral acceleration. Here is a screenshot from a mach 1 shot and you can see its nowhere close to 45g during the peak of the turn. Additionally, the statcard G limit is practically useless, the maximum pull is determined by other aerodynamic and guidance properties such as PID, fin AOA, TAS.

Yes, but the Russian source for missile sale is safe


This is a primary source… why would any other source be taken over it?

It’s a primary source, your sources are 3rd party at best

I’ve seen that there’s no point, keep going and you’ll see that nothing comes of it.

Well, as I said, two years of waiting will come to nothing because nobody knows if the Russians are right.
