Honestly it’s really not that odd it is the next variant to be added (at least in my books) which is just like the Mirage 2000-5F and if it did include R-77s this update will be the wide adoption of these types of missiles from the MICA to the PL-12 and the AIM-120. So unless they plan on doing something huge this seems just as natural as the Mirage 2000-5F or F-14B.
Yeah you’re right but we don’t know yet if and why they added the variant specifically
But that doesn’t mean it’s going to get it you know? Like how the Mirage 2000-5F has yet to recieve the MICA
That’s a good point, the 5F was a weird choice at first but if the MiG-29SMT is the same idea then the game is Fox3 ready pretty soon, would just need the Gripen and maybe the F-15 just because of Israel and every nation would have a Fox3 capable aircraft

IF it comes in the NMU and they don’t add the ARH missiles, then it won’t get it, but we know they’re planning on adding those sometime in the (hopefully near) future. So it makes sense to add aircraft that use those missiles.
J10A pls))) same loadouts as the J8F but with PL11 Capability and not a gen 3 airframe

to me too
and I’ve been flying them since they were still a major nation im top tier Air
but my Alternative top tier tree Sweden isn’t looking promising right now either
im fully expecting them to just release usable Fox 3s with the F-15 and leave sweden hanging by giving the JA37D AMRAAMs

what did he point out? whats getting added
i know all the drama loving people are here with the popcorn ready, people are salty about britain and bickering on smin if someone is intrested
They said that the theoretical addition of the MiG-29SMT iz. 9.19 “screams R-77 coming soon”, which is true because if they plan to add the ARH missiles, they have to first add the aircraft that uses them.

I mean they don’t have to but it’s better that way
and they did it that way with Fox 1s too
Can the Israeli F-16 hold ARH missiles? Cuz that would mean we have thr F-16ADF, F-16 Netz, MiG-29SMT, Mirage 2000-5F, J-8F, Tornado ADV, Tornado F.3, and JA37D. Which would leave Germany and Japan without ARH missiles unless Japan gets F-2 or F-15J and Germany gets F-4F ICE or Typhoon
Israeli F-16 can’t even do SARH, it’s a block 10

Not sure about the ADF’s but i do know the MLU can and does use amraam as well as 9 mikes
Ah never mind then we will probably see ARH with the introduction of the F-15C then.
But saying that they may decide to add the F-16C with SARH and A2G weapons which could go to Israel, similar to the MiG-29SMT
not like theyll stay on the mig29 long enough because nato mains exist
Would the Yak141 get adders?
