what radar band is the R-27EP able to track?

One would assume it can track the common NATO fighter radar bands and whatever band the E-3 Sentry uses. The missile is new enough to probably have a broadband seeker that doesn’t need to be programmed for one specific band before takeoff like older missiles of the same type.

Also gaijin probably will just give it a broadband seeker for gameplay.

I doubt it has a broadband seeker because its meant against aerial targets

I band is the most likely answer because this is what majority of airborne radars uses

In which case, it looks like J band.

I’m not sure tho.

@kizvy Do you know if the 27P/EP has a proxy fuze?

USSR makes missile that only lock onto USSR radars, truly a moment in history. Same level as US early RWRs that can detect everything but the radars of their main adversary
