Thats the point though NATO are not experienced in this kind of warfare.
NATO has always fought at an advantage.
Training, equipment, fires, aviation and technology.
Asking a German or British instructor, how do we storm trenches while being shelled and attacked by drones.
Well they dont know, they havent faced a peer adversary since WW2.
Red flag is great, and im not saying NATO pilots are not good enough, just they havent had to do what Ukraine are doing.
not much is known about Meteor, so idk where you are pulling that from
that being said, i would hope R37M could go a bit further, considering, you know, the slight 410 kg 330kg difference between the 2 (190 for Meteor, 600 520 for R37M)
the gulf war only lasted 100 hours
520kg, not 600
RAMJET has problems, it cannot work at high altitudes.Since air acts as an oxidizer, the meteor has increased drag than the R-37M
Edited the original message, still a 330kg difference
if by high altitude you mean 20 + km high sure, not like anyone fires missiles that high anyway. Friendly reminder that planes also use oxygen (not air) as their oxydizer, so where Meteor can’t go, they can’t go either
any source to back up that affirmation ?
Interviews with pilots from Poland, Czechoslovakia, two sources from Russia( I think Menitsky and one more test pilot from MiG whose name I can’t remember now) and Russian forums,certainly paralay and some more whose name I can’t remember. Also written reports from across the Atlantic, now declassified contemporary articles ( https://discover.dtic.mil) And interviews with F-15 pilots.
But I can’t give you the exact links, I’d have to look for a long time.
The meteor does not have an oxygen oxidizer.Air is used there.
There is no need for any source.The protruding air intakes provide additional reinforcement any CFD will confirm this
I don’t take all the reports and interviews from the OVD countries seriously.I asked specifically about the documents of the USSR
why do you think air is required for combustion mate
Because it has oxygen in it.Suddenly
so what is the ramjet of the meteor intaking for combustion, I believe if you think hard you can get this one
Yes, the memoirs of test pilots Menitsky and …can’t remember, and the forums paralay and …can’t remember. That’s the Russian side. Plus there’s the Czechoslovak and Polish ones that trained on the Soviet model.
I don’t think you understood old mates first post, do planes have an oxygen tank?
I never saw the documents.But only the words to incomprehensible forums and the words of Menitsky (but I will familiarize myself with the book), I will remind you that he is a test pilot.Not a military pilot
The planes have oxygen supply to the engines.So for the operation of the meteor main engine, oxygen-saturated air is required.So flights above 20km are not possible for a meteor
where does the oxygen for the plane come from boss? Think hard
In the tanks.
They are used either to ignite fuel in the main and afterburner combustion chambers.And they can also be used to maintain combustion in the afterburner. gorenje
then why do jet engines have intakes?
Where do you think they’re taking off from?
