Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

the KS-172 never entered service btw, it’s derived from the S-300

i know, but there were recent rumors/news that it is used on the Mig-31 currently

i’ll wait for a pic of that happening, tho they could’ve mistaken it for the not yet in service R-97 (izd-810)

Nez is not 160 km, to me it looks like it is slightly more than 20 km, 160 seems to be target range

that is possible as well, but imagine how scarry a Mig-31 with 4x r-37m + 2x KS-172 would be

Yeah, but then within 100km it won’t be better than the likes of PL15 and even AMRAAM D, the main advantage is range.

Seems to be 2 lines to me here


one for min range one for nez

the NEZ appears to be so small bc the currently selected weapon is a r-73

Lower one mid range, upper one for low end of NEZ

target G load is not its own G load. A lot of missiles has similar target G load but it self can pull 30+ Gs.

You’re right. This has nothing on nez for r37m

he has the r-73 selected

It’s 73, time till target is for r37m

Mb, got confused a lile

Still absurd range tho

there is still the question what the line over the range arrow means

I may be able to check on that, no guarantees tho

i also might be able to find some HUD images

over 160km range for a r-73?
i dont think so
