Fair enough, Germanium was just an example. Its used a lot on modern thermal optic windows as well.
R27EA in Su30?
those are inert/training missiles, r-27ea never existed, and r-27a only tested on mig 29 before it got cancelled.

A quick search shows this to be a picture of a frankenstein’s Su-35UB for the movie “Mirror Wars: Reflection One”.
There are many things wrong with the picture, like training and live missiles combined? Unpainted fins on one of the centerline R-27’s? And yes, they do look like the EA seekers.

whats the longest range kill you guys have managed with the R-27ET in game?
15km side aspect on f15
12 km rear aspect on a harrier
managed to get a side aspect lock from 17.5km out and kill from 16.5km out today, stat card in game states 18km rear aspect but is it like all the other stat cards in game that just completely lies?
or has anyone performed any tests on this
r-27et can lock rear aspect from more than 30km. remember it depends on plane it’s locking for lock ranges. hotter plane = more range

25~ ish kilometers at high altitude against a side aspect target. It was an F-15C iirc.
It depends on your target. you can also see here that it can lock from nearly 20km away even against nose hot targets.
edit: correction, I remembered wrong my first shot was an ER, ET was fired at 15km.
