You won’t find such a video in the public domain
Interesting. But we can find a video of the AIM-9X firing at a target flying 90 degrees to the left of the F-15 launch platform. Sounds like textbook propaganda. “Just trust us, we’re that good” Dude come on. They can show you all the date, but cant show you a video of it doing so… and you just believe it. This is like when you tell a little kid to show you the trick they swear they can do… just for them to not do it.
Because in Russia, videos are not attached to documents. And it is stored in the archive of the plant
Exactly. Why couldn’t the Russians, having such a remarkable missile, produce a video like this?

The AIM-9X uses the Mk 139 motor which is different from the AIM-9M’s Mk 36 motor

thx, but
Ah, thats unfortunate.
The video is not supplied to the troops. You can check it yourself if you want. You hang up the rocket, take off and test it. So far I have not heard that the rocket does not match the documents
NOT true
Prove me wrong then, that test shouldn’t be hard whatsoever.
Yeah, but still its still the same IRCCM
Stop acting ignorant, the IRCCM both the R-73 and Magic 2 uses is FoV gating, the distance from target means A TON and if the Magic 2 can accelerate closer to the target then it will in use have a significantly better IRCCM.
It’s not better in a front aspect use because of the tracking suspension. In rear or side aspect shots, it forces the enemy to give up position and even bleed airspeed
You say this as if the R-73 isn’t as easy to flare as the AIM-9B frontal aspect, a single preflare should do the trick and if not another 1 or 2 should.

I read that the MK-139 is similar to the MK-36 engine from the Aim-9M.
As it was sung in a Russian song, “We have SUCH devices! But we won’t tell you about them.”

lol this is getting fun
Anyway i trust the western weaponry for being more reliable more than Russia come down to simple fact
“They are combat proven and they saw real combat used by many times over”
What about Russia? how do I suppose to know they better when they combat records in combat is almost non exist
Oh R-77 supposed to be better than AMRAAM bla bla bla in the way of bla bla bla anything but not in combat
They are weapons made for war the way where to prove how it performs is in real combat
It just isn’t. Whether you like it or not, it isnt. Players like you always wanna cry about how bad your stuff is as soon as you have any disadvantage from anyone else’s stuff.
That has nothing to do with IRCCM, thats distance to target. Even when you flare while its not super close, its still difficult to flare, unlike the R-60, i mean R-73 you complain about so much.
I literally look behind me and see an AIM-9M or similar IRCCM missile every time combat gets close in air rb… You’re coping hard, bro. This “invisible diamond” thing never existed. And if it did, you wouldnt be the only player I’ve ever seen claim that it does exist. Cope harder.
I don’t know anyone who said that p77 is better than aim120. Further versions, maybe. The first one’s worse. But obviously not as bad as what we have in the game. It doesn’t hit targets, even when fired under near perfect conditions

Aw shucks I gave you an easy way out of admitting you’re wrong. Silly me, hope I do better next time.
I believe its an evolution supposed to have higher specific impulse which probably translate to better acceleration and overall range.
Source?
This source doesn’t state any differences from the MK 36 motor, which there would be if it was literally the same thing. To your credit though, it does name similarities.

I’m fine with the current performance of both the AIM-9M and R-73, I just have the opinion that the AIM-9M is more practical and nothing you say will change that (because it’s a opinion, nothing else).
Instead of going in circles how about you demonstrate a video on why the R-73 is better? The many times I’ve used the R-73 and went against it on head-ons show how useless it is, a single preflare and that missile is gone.
Until the FoV is decreased it’s equivalent to the AIM-9L for head-ons
That has nothing to do with IRCCM, thats distance to target. Even when you flare while its not super close, its still difficult to flare, unlike the R-60, i mean R-73 you complain about so much
It does relate to the IRCCM, the FoV gating both the R-73 and Magic 2 have both rely on the FoV decreasing substantially enough for the flare to be out of view, if the missile can accelerate faster then it can assist in the effectiveness of the IRCCM (meaning that this DOES relate to IRCCM and the strength/weakness of it).
The FoV the R-73 decreases to in-game is also currently ahsitorical, it should be smaller equating to better IRCCM.

You must be playing World of Aircraft or some other game, are we speaking the same language?
