This is due to launching at very low high speed and the angle of launch. Same thing has been a issue with TVC missiles since the addition of SRAAM

This is due to a faulty autopilot.

Yes but it’s exacerbated by launching at low speeds
How much is low speed?
Back in the SRAAM days between 200-400kmh the lower it got the worse it was
IAS 500km/h launch

@Smin1080p_WT what do you think about this?
The R-27ER would have a 9% hit rate? Lmao even
Best case scenario
It was mostly due to lack of datalink establishment, and also usage by monkey model jets going against amraams by incompetent pilots
Has more to do with poor maintenance of the ordnance. They sold the weapons to countries that could not keep them in storage because they did not know how, let alone have the equipment and personnel necessary to keep the equipment working. Missiles, tanks, planes, whatever, they can’t sit on a shelf. They fall apart when not in use.

Yeah, 9 percent hit rate is too low, aim9e levels. This is also supported by the fact that Russians still use r27, and india in 2019 also purchased r27 from artem
You realize the largest usage of R-27s was in a conflict in which they were in both sides and there were 0 AIM-120s right? LMAO the cope
Do you have a source for this?
1:1 hit on a robust aircraft like the MiG-29 and it ended up doing the job anyway. That’s a 100% hit rate in the war they mentioned… Lol
It won’t be because episode 1 doesn’t reflect the rocket’s capabilities
Also btw, where did people even get the “9% hit rate” lmao? I am not able to find any credible source for this claim
There’s plenty of books on the Eritrean war where both sides used r-27s, albeit one had the much inferior mig -29 with 27rs and the other side with su27sk with 27ers and ets. From what I remember, there was around 20-30 ish r-27s launched, with 2 or 3 actually hitting
