And the 77 wasn’t in service.
The same way the germans don’t get aim-7s.
Still at least the 77-1 did enter service at all.
I mean that is fair, but at the same time the AIM-120A was retired by the time the F-15C MSIP II (2005) was introduced.
Definitely not asking for an AIM-120C but still
F-15C MSIP II with HMD from 2005 year.
F-16C with FLIR from 200*
AIM-120C won’t change anything

Then F-22 will be with 120A or what?
But in reverse.
SM is still in service an is R-77-1 compatible
Just outrange everything. And better seeker.
With better loft, nearlier to derby
SM didnt had it from start
Even after SPO-150 update
What altitude are you firing the missile at, and what altitude is your target?
But less manoeuvreability
No. AIM-120A didn’t fit. Only AIM-120C
But better range
And less speed loss
Yes. Im about that.
The SM series is just so controversial about its upgrades I feel they should’ve just added the Su-30M2
WTF? the F-22 does use AIM-120C in service. That’s entirely different.
What kind of logic is that?
It’s a joke about the current F-15C using the AIM-120A even though it doesn’t have the mounting capability for it
Ok that is entirely different to the R-77-1 discussion though.
It’s not an analogy at all.
It was a backwards reference to the Su-27SM being designed in 2007 and not having the R-77-1 initially (as it was made in 2010-2011) and being able to use it later.

It still makes no sense. Since there never was a limitation that vehicles only get the weaponry they were introduced with…
