are you talking about the KS-172 or R-37M?
KS-172 missile
yeah, that one’s just an awacs killer
But given the fact that the tech it would have also improved. I’ve seen a load of papers on these material side of things, coming close to non classified western stuff. Obviously application is a different thing but at least we know they are better than what they were a few years back.
F100-PW-220 level?
what’s the MTBO of the PW-220?
the EP is real ?
Just material. Not actual engines.
But PW220 is definitely not where they’re at.
very real and very much in service
Yeah, just Passive radar homing
PW100 then?
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
it says 4000 cycles for hot sections and 8000 for cold on the PW-220
how many hours is a cycle? 1, 5, 50?
i have no idea, thats just what it says
np, thx nontheless
maybe with this you can convert cycles to flight hours through years, scrolled a little farther through the report
damm where did u find these pics ? so far i have only seen the pic with the su34 but some people were saying it was for display.
A Ukrainian pilot posted that picture on his Instagram
To me the missile on the outer wing pylon seems more interesting tho
r73 with r60 seeker?
