Su-27SM: Ferocious Flanker!

Not even close.

Admit that you made a mistake instead of trying to justify your fault.

There is only 1 active radar homing missile that uses the AMRAAM nomenclature. And thats the AIM 120. Youre just too stubborn to admit you’re wrong but ok.

AMRAAM: Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile.
It’s an acronym of a missile concept, not any specific missile.
AIM-120 is an AMRAAM, AMRAAM doesn’t mean AIM-120, but it can with some contexts.
AMRAAM, or BVRAAM, is an American English nomenclature/translation, which should be obvious to everyone on the website.

Gotta do English lessons on War Thunder forums again cause apparently people didn’t know this basic English knowledge.

Thats is the most straw man argument I’ve seen in this forum in years, almost chocked myself laughing

Then don’t make strawman arguments in the future, simple.
Me: Rafale uses MICA EM; an advanced medium range air to air missile, or beyond visual range air to air missile.
“He clearly means AIM-120 for the Rafale, he’s not using the literal meaning of BVRAAM/AMRAAM.” is a strawman argument.

So yeah, to claim I’m wrong is to claim France is wrong, so good luck proving the French air force wrong.

ARH:Active Radar Homing

AMRAAM:Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile

Does it sound same to you? Because everyone knows it doesnt.

Try to act like mature and admit your mistakes before giving English lessons to other people and even then your words will not have any values in my eyes Sherlock.

MICA EM is what France uses.
There’s no mistake.

AMRAAM is literally how everyone with a little knowledge in modern air combat calls the AIM-120 and only the AIM-120. No one calls the MICA AMRAAM, no one calls the R-77 AMRAAM, no one calls the PL-12 AMRAAM. Do you know how the US military refers to the AIM-120? They call it just AMRAAM.

Dont bother to argue with him.

He always makes mistakes, erase them and acts like nothing happened, and best part is he eventually blames and tries to gaslight you.

Or you’re just stupid and dont know where and how to use the AMRAAM acronym. But now you know. No need to thank us

Guys, as much as i find your point right that AMRAAM =/= ARH, if talking about the F-15C/Rafale/Typhoon was slightly off topic related to the Su-27SM, talking about missile nomenclature is severly off topic.
If you don’t want to get flagged, then i suggest y’all to consider my previous point and refocus the conversation around at least on planes.

“Alvis erased his mistake of calling the Rafale’s missile MICA EM.”
Not a mistake, and it’s still there.
Keep trying to gaslight people though, Panther.
Air Intercept Missile 120 advanced medium range beyond visual range air to air missile.
RVV-AE/SD advanced medium range beyond visual range air to air missile.
Though the Russian wiki only uses medium range air to air missile… as if it’s just a standard English acronym that was adopted by others. I still need to find out what the VV stands for, I know the R stands for Rocket.
Claiming that authority figures using it dictates its use is an appeal to authority.

But yeah, people starting a semantic argument because I used an acronym literally is a tad silly.
Then somehow claiming that me saying MICA EM is used on Rafale is a mistake.

I told you to dont bother me, go play with something else.

The DESIGNATION AMRAAM =/= Aim 120 but everybody refers to the aim 120 as amraam so…
There’s that

Actually, in accordance with the USAF and it’s website

“The AMRAAM program improves the aerial combat capabilities of U.S. and allied aircraft to meet current and future threat of enemy air-to-air weapons. AMRAAM is compatible with the Air Force F-15, F-16, F-22 and developmental F-35 and Navy F/A-18 C-F.”

So AMRAAM is the name of the program, not necessarily the kind of missile. It would be like calling the ADATS or 2S6 an “M-SHORAD”- although kind of technically true, not really true since it isn’t the direct vehicle/weapon/weapon system they are referring to. Given the M-SHORAD is a real vehicle (a dope one at that)

Plez F-15C for Israel, I pray

F-15E is just as good in A2A as the F-15C, it is slightly heavier for much more powerful engines.

LMAO sure bud.

Not even close to a realistic flight model. BOL nerfs were unjustified but calling the release Gripens accurate is peak comedy
