So his point still stands since Russia got similar capabilities into service ~15 years after PARS?

But his point wasn’t for the “late” part…
He edited his comment, didn’t he? Because I
Think his initial point was that Russia is behind technologically which would check out with the dates
It could be… I don’t know
Yeah, and? Hellfire’s could have their “Self-Protect” cueing capability implemented; where RWR contacts can be used to semi-automatically launch missiles on said bearings to decrease response time.
Hell if we’re going to add LOAL, it would be turning up with the A-4E and AGM-62ER/DL & AWG-16 datalink, at ~9.7 or so.

If they were to add LOAL It certainly wouldn’t remain 9.7 or so
Sure, but until it does.
And its not like there aren’t yet more A-4 variants that could effectively take its place. And assorted other stores that would help it maintain a higher BR if needed (e.g. 4x Siderwinders, access to AIM-9D, GPU-2/A, etc.)
Could well be, being honest Russia do not need to fire it in FnF mode with most of the SAMs being too short range to intercept the helicopter

And connected exactly how to my sentence?
Because the LMUR is not an ATGM. It’s a shrapnel head. It shouldn’t work the way it currently works in the game at all.
Well 155/152 mm HE shells also not designet to take out MBT, but if they score direct hit at the roof of the turret, are quite effective at knocking them out… so No. They are currently working as they should. After all its “light multi-purpouse guided missile” (Ракета Легкая Многоцелевая Управляемая)
Probably a bit of column a and a bit of column b, Lmurs are expensive for Russia and their capability is not completely needed so they use them sparingly
Noone even knows if hellfure L is any good. Laser hellfires are always picked instead IRL possibly because radar guidance is not as guaranteed as laser. Btw same reason why kh38l is used most of the time instead of t.
People don’t need to use lmur on tanks because lancet and fpv made all western tanks obsolete anyway.
There’s s still footage of it being guided at moving ifvs though so the function is there.
In wt game that’s the primary function of any weapon lmur included.

Lancet while effective in Ukraine is not going to be effective in a war with a peer to peer adversary.
Lancet is a loitering munition, it has a limited anti armour warhead and it is easy to detect and jam.
Russian forces previously broadcast when Lancets were operating by switching off that jamming frequency. Lancet also isn’t cheap the with Russian export prices for Lancet 1 as 25,000 dollars, since then it has improved warhead, longer range improved EW system and now a launch vehicle.
FPV drones have not made Western tanks obsolete, otherwise why would UA still use tanks?
FPV drones are great for what they are and that is a cheap way to engage a tank or position, however that cost per unit increased dramatically when both UA and Russia realised they couldn’t use off the shelf FPV drones. They needed stronger engines, longer range, EW protection and greater payload those cheap drones become expensive. Then you ask yourself the question why am I using a drone that now costs 30k to do the work of a 2000 dollar artillery shell.
How? If Ukraine can’t handle lancet then the other armies won’t either
Ukrainian army is superior to any EU force.

Numerical superiority but equipment? Not so much.
Delusional.
They have the most equipment that actually matters not museum artifacts like leopard 2

? No modern IFVs, no modern airforce and most modern equipment is second hand. All respect to Ukraine but I really don’t see how they would be better equipped

I want to call you a slur so much right now.
In fact the strength of the military award goes to EU. The adaptivity award goes to Ukraine. The incompetence stamp goes on rusia’s forehead and it’s there to stay indefinitely.
You think you can launch your lancet if anything with thermal signature is being turned into red mist well beyond it’s operational range? You really think you can overwhelm real layered air defence with your pocket money terrorist-technology drones? I’d look at that when rheinmetall with unrestricted budget pulls up to the function.
That’s like, the definition of delusional and you dare to call it someone else?
Calling leo 2 a museum artifact while the opposite side still driving around in heavily modified t-54s. interesting stance.
Can’t handle lancet he said… Like your temu SPIKE NLOS makes such a big difference, lol.
