LDIRCM is massively overperforming right now, to an absurd degree. It even no sells missiles build to ignore/be resilient to it. It shouldn’t counter stuff like IRIS-T SLM and co, at all. Yet it does.
So you have helis which are virtually untouchable, with some insane destructive potential because they have FAF missiles which were turned from Fragmentation Heads doing damage via fragments into pure HE overpressuring everything.
Thats all true but i wanted to stay specific to the MI28NM and generally overperforming LDIRCM is not just an MI28 thing but a bottom mounted LDIRCM being able to affect missiles above the heli is MI28 exclusive
it is when they’re 7k out, pop up above bushes and toss LMURs
ADATS only catches idiots, it almost takes less time to fire 8 LMURs than it does for a missile to travel 7k to a heli.
CLAWs has the 1st gen sentinel radar that’s 30 years old without AESA or upgrades and the aim9x/aim120s follow LMURs ontop of being spoofed
Not really.
Plus you can pre-fire if you suspect them.
They must find targets ( or you) first so unless they’re ballooning, half the time they won’t be able to see much
