Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

If I wake up tomorrow and see no devblog I might actually cry

at that point i will just hope for teaser thursday

Su-30MKI early is an russian equipments counterpart to F-15E in 2000’s

The F-15E from USA tech tree armament mix late 1990’s ~ 2009 and equipped Sniper XR targeting pod

I assume this is correct, it can also carry the Brahmos-ER, Khibiny is so good at what it does that it has snuck up on AWACS, F-35’s, and spoofed high power naval radars. EW has long been the Russian domain, so I’m not going to agree with you in conclusion. US gear hasn’t been combat tested, Russian equipment is being tested every day.

However I will concede the point on the admittedly advantageous combination of AESA and EPAWSS or whatever we have on our planes. AESA is a huge advantage for things like this, and I’d imagine is part of the reason Russia is trying to workout how to create a better, more useable AESA radar for planes other than the Su-57. I have a feeling there will be advances in this area as Russia’s processor and chip technology is now growing by leaps and bounds, and Chinese advances on Russian origin airframes have proved that AESA can be used in things such as the Su-30MKK, other Su-30M’s (assumedly the SM2), and the Su-35S.

Yes. And it’s the Indian variant for those not aware.

i wish it had Sniper XR lol

I’m not sure of theyve ever had no blogs before a teaser

Not held back, actually the FRS1 was because they didn’t have radar fitted yet, so had to be guided into the AO by ground controller instead.

Loaded up? If you mean weighed down by tanks? Don’t think so, just the standard loadout for the F-15

Was active pilots on duty in Germany who came over for the day after hearing about the F-5E aggressor squadron getting destroyed by the NAS801

Just the best SHar pilots in the world kicking the living hell out of the US at a ratio of 3:1

Remember, gaijins modeling of the harrier is criminal

F-15C’s without AIM-120’s got pasted in Cope 2004 at 3:1 by the Su-30MKI’s. Just saying…

i mean… that russian equipment is getting swatted out of the sky pretty frequently.

US EW systems have of course been tested on their aircraft, but honestly something like the F-22 EW suite could cause actual damage to some radar systems so probably hasnt been used like the khibiny has

without the weapon the was made around…

Plus there’s the reports of Harriers dogging even Mirages in the Falklands

To hell with the F/A-18. We are skipping it and the US will be getting the C/F-17; armed with 40 AIM-174s. Literally no equal.

In the least permissive air environment in human history. Not even the NATO intervention in Serbia can hold a candle to the conflict in the place we can’t talk about.

C-130 armed with MOAB when? Its GPS guided after all :p

Yeah, though for the most part the mirages just ran away rather than fighting the black death.

Pantsir would just shoot the MOAB out the sky 🤣

We also cant forget about their horrendous modeling of the Harriers Cooling system

Sure, and those AESA radars weren’t too helpful without AIM-120’s, hence why I mentioned it. MKI is no slouch in WVR dude.

If you can get a C-130 into drop range in GRB, you deserve to drop it.

Watch me. I will Top Gun 2 that sh!t
