The only manual that is referenced in your whole article are from the 1970s and 1980s at best. One of the references is a video by a former F-14 pilot…so once again 1970s/80s. Everything else is basically conjecture.
You are not meeting your own standards here. Where is the manual for the employment and capabilities of the AMRAAM? Or the R-77-1? Or any of the other highly classified ARH missiles that we will presumably have in the game.
IRIS-T is in the game as a ground launched weapon and it will presumably be added to the game at some point; unless we are assuming that we will never get any new generation of IR or ARH missiles.
So do we think that ARH seekers haven’t improved since the 1970s? Or that radar capability + datalink isn’t able to track incoming ARH missiles? Why are we using AI slop to try to say it’s “impossible” when the marketing material (which at this point is considered a source) says that at least 2 missiles in the game are capable of it?
it’s impossible and they’re just coping about their missile performance, same as they do with the meteor missile where they only quote aim120a/b ranges as it’s a 90s design that didn’t enter service until almost 2020. but hey I’m sure manufacturers have always been 100% truthful and honest in their brochures, I have a couple bridges you might be interested in buying btw. (also they claim a 37 mile no escape zone) which is just objectively impossible lmao
Leading missile defense expert Prof. Ted Postol discusses the absolute failure of patriot and other missile defense batteries in the ongoing Iran conflict.
This brings up the relevant question: If dedicated anti-missile batteries are having such low intercept rates , I’m sure this data can be extrapolated to address the problem of WT’s counter missile meta .
lmao imagine thinking this guy has credibility, why would we waste a pac3 on an incoming missile with a 300m cep (generous) if it’s only gonna hit the desert lmao. also the entirety of his channel is just irgc shilling (yuck)
No , it’s his track record of demonstrated capability I am referencing. For example:
“Postol rose to national prominence in the early 1990s when he challenged U.S. Army claims regarding the success rate of the [MIM-104 Patriot] missile during the first [Gulf War]”
“takes their claims at face value”
Independent video evidence is not “IRGC claims.”
“you didn’t even try and defend that point.”
I said I wouldn’t waste too much of my time.
“they managed a few lucky initial hits”
Patriot and other missile inventories are massively depleted, with over 1200 being used.
Israel instituted a blackout on video footage of impacts after a short while.
Most U.S. bases in the Gulf have been knocked out of commission , with plenty of satellite photo evidence to go around.
“tell me, how’s it going now”
Hormuz still closed, Iran still resisting, Israel quiet as a mouse, and no military solution for the U.S.
most is bases were literally evacuated at the behest of the host nations under the impression they wouldn’t be hit, they were incorrect and the irgc wasted munitions on empty bases so weren’t intercepted.
And tell aviv airport is currently open lil bro, I doubt they’d do that under threat lmao but cope all you want
also I don’t see why using something means it’s bad lol, an American service man is literally more likely to die from an accident than the irgc, not exactly what I’d call a good hit rate lol.
Also the strait is only closed to Iran my seething friend.
Postel is nothing more than the modern day pierre sprey, he just says what the layman wants to hear without any real understanding.
