It’s from a trial against German MIG-29’s using Archer acquisition rounds. It is not nonsense.

There was an exported version.And the trial is such a source.

So the export version uses different techniques for its IRCCM? I doubt that’s the case given its talking about AA-11 and not another subversion. If there were major differences it would have been stipulated so.

I dont think export version uses a different seeker
Yes, the export version is always worse than the original, and they could even disable the block of logic for filtering out interference

“Could” until you can demonstrate “does” that’s a meaningless statement.

If you can pay more then export version can be better than the original one
Sometimes it feels like AIM-9M has no inertial drift modeled even though every other weapon with inertial guidance has inertial drift to my understanding which makes it feel like it’s strong.

It doesn’t work with USSR… You can’t choose what you will get as soviet ally, you will get what USSR decided to give you.

It doesnt have any inertial code at all actually.
(Left) 9M, (Right) 27ER:
I think its guidance might just lock the missiles current actuators the moment the seeker shuts off, not 100% sure though.
The only difference between the 9L and 9M code is for the smoke visual (and its location in the code) and the bandmask to reject:
It says R-24T and R-73 has same flare resistance performance. Why should it not be considered as nonsense?

It’s inertial guidance is definatelly overperforming. And I’m not talking about an aircraft going straight, then yeah it should track, but in game it has no problem predicting any move

The seeker shut off time looks to be 0.02 seconds if I’m reading the code right. Its not predicting your moves, its seeker is on and you didnt get enough separation while it shut off.
and as I said, it literally does not have any inertial nav code
Because the same technique defeated both missiles? Sure you might get away with fewer flares, but the 3 flares @ 0.25 second intervals is a release setting for the BOZ-107. So it isn’t like they could’ve tuned it down or bothered doing manual releases to work out exactly how to defeat R-24T without wasting an extra flare. Just that program decoyed both missiles.
Then it’s complete bs, dropping tens of flares and evading but it will still track.
I flare them fine, and I’ve seen video evidence of others doing so too, sounds like a skill issue to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And where did British take R-24T from?
Yeah it’s always skill issue to you when it’s not soviet equipment
I don’t know, I don’t have a full copy of the trial, just its findings held in the Tornado GR.1 Tactics manual. Largely its immaterial, the trials findings are clear, just because something doesn’t work like you expected doesn’t mean its not true. I’m sure the yanks were surprised when that SU-22 decoyed an AIM-9X.

You’re the one having issue flaring AIM-9M’s, not me lol. I also say its a skill issue when ppl get hit by radar missiles, particularly the Phoenix seeing as its so bad.
The fact is both the 9M and R-73 use different IRCCM methods, and though the R-73’s is more widely usable, the decoying the 9M’s is more technical. If it wasn’t for the low smoke motor the 9M has making them much harder to spot, id be more scared of the R-73.
