Russia can produce a narrow FOV camera that could detect a coasting missile but not without knowing exactly where to look first. A wide or 360 IR cam would have too many false positives and no range information. That’s why MAWS primarily looks for UV to filter out false positives. It’s near impossible to detect an incoming missile otherwise even in ideal conditions.
Fair point on the data fusion aspect but Russia is so far behind in that domain… doubtful.

Are you seriously denying the contents of a sales brochure, say it isn’t so.
Besides if it wasn’t enough, the Kh-38T would be in trouble wouldn’t it.

You can get range & range rate from kinematic ranging, or by estimating the output of a Kalman filter, based on approximating the change in intensity of a track.

IRIS-T is also russian bias, why russians always have the most op SPAA ?
Then there is Rafale, clearly russian bias.
2A7 also proofs how busted russia is, best tank for more than a year.

Kinematic ranging would be for a ground target. I don’t see how a Kalman filter could get you range and closing speed without knowing the diameter of the missile, which varies a lot and would be much harder than detection.
@Ghost_of_TelAviv love seeing russian mains seethe because 2/6 of their Kh38 get intercepted. Meanwhile they can’t intercept slow af Hammers and still struggle against 2A7 because they never had to aim before.
Don’t worry I’m sure gaijin will add a new AA so poor russia can catch up. Pantsir for 2 years = ok. IrisT for 3 months = unacceptable.

Soviets have not had a competitive SPAA since early 2022 back when CAS range wasn’t 14km or more.
Pantsir was and still is bad against IR AGM carriers which aren’t even the weapon to use anymore because of the new SPAA. I bullied Pantsirs since their introduction cause of how inadequate they are against IR AGM carriers.
There were many matches where I’d notice 3 or more Pantsirs up, and I’d mock their inability to frag aircraft by buzzing them within 3 - 5km at low altitude while I was waiting for enemy CAS to spawn.
Not only that but Soviets aren’t getting new CAS powercreep, no one is. Gaijin stated explicitly that there will be no CAS powercreep for a while after the new SPAA is in the game.
Speculative, that means Winter would be the soonest, and that’d at most be HARMs in my opinion.
I however do not expect new CAS powercreep until next year entirely.
Also could you please provide evidence of USSR rounds being better than NATO rounds for their BR on average?
I’d love you to counter any of the criticisms against Soviet equipment provided here.
All I see is claims without evidence.

Its not just Russian Bias… its also China Bias too, on top of that, British players are punished, having very poor choices of vehicles that can barely do any damage, take any damage and overall performance is pretty bad too.
Ngl i made the mistake of putting money into this game when i first joined as it seemed to me like that was neccesary to have a fighting chance at least but now i have to say i have regret
I am not a Russian main and barely played Russia for over a year.
Nice try.

only a russian main would bitch and moan about the 2a7 or french AGMs when we still have fictitious kh38s in the game that can be launched from the runway with NLOS, or god mode helis.
i don’t stat stalk cause i’m not a hypocrite or a russian main but it’s beyond obvious
Unlike you, i played all of them.

All his posts do is demonize people that dare criticize Russian equipment.
The last tank I got in Soviets was their “new” artillery.
Though I did add the Mig-21S to my wishlist because it’s featured in MGS3 Snake Eater.
I have none of the new SPAA, and no new MBTs added since T-90M [there was only one added so far].
All thanks to there not being Warsaw vs NATO anymore so I can actually play any tech tree with my Soviet main friends.
@ExcaliburSniper
For Kh-38MTs to launch, they need direct line of sight, which means the launch aircraft was launched on by Spyder, CLAWS, or SLM and quickly died.

Doesn’t really seem like it
this deflection again. only sounds good to partisans
I know more about these vehicles and their mechanics than the majority of ppl who play them
case in point, most russian mains (likely including you) in this thread have no idea their helis are immune to IR missiles and how or why

Have you tried not shooting the most armored part of a Russian tank perchance?

still no response to the above, ez oneshot
My bad, wrong reply. Regardless, every nation still has SACLOS SPAA. Its a fair tradeoff for something like the IRIS-T to not be able to kill 2 Helis but be able to thrash anything else. Bring both types.
Should it be able to deflect inf missiles? No, but this is a new feature, give them time.

i mean i wasn’t expecting you to reply since that question wasnt for you but i guess you’re an alt account or sth?
either way this is wildly unbalanced and unfair, it’s gone on for too long (despite it being easy to roll back or turn off), and it’s the kind of thing that’s only excused or long-lasting when it happens to russia
