unless you’re firing from a mig-31 at another mig-31 close to their maximum speeds you can’t have a 40km launch connect in 20s, even for the normal r-73 a 30km launch in 20s is only possible in very optimistic conditions
did you see the photo i sent of a su-35 hud showing “74M” and 20s to impact the sun?
will be used as source to have the missile max speed
lmao
They are using r73, but also 9m amd 9x, im fairly sure aim9s were confirmed to be involved in one of the shotdowns, also aim9m dont have that poor of maneuverability, especialky considering this is a ground launch.
is there any visual ways to distinguish between an R-73, R-74M or R-74M2 baed on the missile body or any surfaces on them?
M2 has smaller tail, same height as the control surfaces. It also may not have external AOA sensors (but i am unsure because missile shown on expos are mockups, but on the other hand R-73 and R-74M mockups had AOA sensors on them)
R-73 incorrect motor burn time and thrust report accepted

That would be a significant buff
Yeah with the dynamic rocket motors Ig gaijin is finally getting around to it.
With the old mechanics of static thrust I thought it was configured well enough considering the limitations, but now with dynamic thrust, it’s Boutta become a lot better
cant wait r-73 is my fav of the fox 2s
Watch them fumble it harder than R-73 doing high off bore shot at low speed
Maybe it’s not the fastest Fox 2, maybe it doesn’t have the longest range… But it’s the only infrared missile in this game that can turn into a “mini-Mica” :)
atp r-77 is a mini mica, pretty sure it turns harder than r-73
In ARH—yes, I even had an impossible shot with the R-77 today at 1.5 km; I was shocked myself that I managed to pull off such a maneuver. What’s more, it can also hit targets at 30–40 km. Right now, the R-77 is powerful—it has both high-altitude range and excellent maneuverability.
But among infrared missiles—the R-73 is a mini-MICA :)
Spins out of control just as much as well
Do you have any more sources on this? I dunno how well Some Random CN Magazine would hold up to scrutiny.
