Air is far less russia-favouring than ground as it stands.
I am aware that (most) ARMs probably wouldn’t be hard to counter in a void, but in an actual battle, the situation is different.
The ARM isn’t the only thing you have to worry about, if other FnF weapons are coming your way, disabling your radar might not be an option and even when disabling your radar is an option, your room to move around tends to be tiny.
A lot of maps have very little cover to sit behind so you don’t get sniped by tanks.
On one of those maps, where do you go if you have to evade an ARM?
See that’s my point too. This is exactly the same mechanic as the Kh-38MT but with “radar” instead of thermal.
I suck at ARB and can definitely say F16 PoBIT is US bias that thing is so much freaking fun.

Sorry, mean ARB that F16 slaps and is so agile it should be illegal.
oh in arb yeah the F-16 fm is incredible
In This context it’s Anti-Radiation Missiles, examples of this would be missiles such as the AGM-45 Shrike, AGM-78 Standard-ARM (ST-ARM, air launched conversion of RIM-66 Standard missiles) AGM-88 High Speed, Anti-Radiation Missile and AGM-112 SideARM (converted AIM-9C, used by Harries and AH-1 ) at least for US airframes these would start with a Pair or two at 9.0 / 8.7 with the F-100D / A-4B at the earliest.
(useful) Russian systems would start and end with the KH-58 which have comparatively very limited carriage to specialist airframes for the most part.

Is GRB i use it now to clean up SUs and Helis I can barely bother with tanks being the Panstur exists only way i can come close to killing it is JDAMs less than 3km
A2G ARMs don’t even the playing field and I’m not sure what makes you think that they would
A Pantsir won’t care about an incoming ARM, but most other SAMs do have to worry about not just ARMs, but all other kinds of incoming missiles and bombs as well
The Kh-38MT isn’t matched by an ARM either, they don’t even serve the same purpose

Both serve as options for DEAD
Mechanically - Missile lock on to AA, hit aa, aa go boom
That’s what I meant.
The pantsir doesn’t care, it’s the reaction time and staying low and supersonic that I care about.
Which cannot be achieved with the weapons for many other nations.
R-27P/EP, if we get into more obscure weapons as well
I have only found evidence for normal P existing and it’s sketchy at best.
Also 27P/EP are air to air.
In speed it is, but you are correct about purpose even though newer AGM-88 can target non-radiating stuff
Are those HESH rounds?
If you come face to face and it shots first yeah, you’re more than likely cooked but most times I see it first I win. But yes, TKX and Type 10 are the last tanks to rely on armor
Ah, aight then
Are they like non detectable?
What’s wrong with carrying HESH rounds?
