You’re joking, right?
Please say yes 😭
who is wired to the cockpit FCS tablet.
its the same concept but just different size and form of pylons.
like i said, not everything is the same.
china one might be wireless while us one might wired.
still not comparable in the slightest, as one requires new wiring while this one is literally just mounting it and bringing the Tablet with you
both are controled by tables in the cockpit
both are either wireless or wired and still comunicate to the weapons either way
both didnt require modification to the airframe.
how is it different ?
being wired requires changes to the airframe internals… or software if the wiring is compatible
afaik the UKR managed to get the HARM working by making the plane id it as a different missile
ok but how do you know that they are wired ?
? i never said they were i merely brought up the fact that the serb MIG-29´s can use those missile via a pylon that doesnt need any kind of changes or interaction with to/the plane.
while the argument was about how the UKR MIG-29 can use HARMS via jerry rigging or whatever and the serb mig-29 with the SWFCS pylon should not be used as proof that the other can do the same
ok but that wasnt the point.
my respond was about someone telling that it required to modify the avionis and airframe to use, for exemple, western weapons.
wired or wireless, it doesnt change a single thing apart from having more screen in the cockpit and 2-3 cables russina through the frame.
you are literally contradicting yourself, running “2-3” more cables trough a plane is modifying it, and as far as i am aware they only got the western ordinance working in a rudimentary way by making the plane ID it as a different (most likley Russian) missile which takes away most of its functions
adding cable that doesnt change the plane itself is not modifying it.
nothing has been done to the plane itself, so ? whats different about the plane with 3 more cable and a tablet.
cant hurt the perf nor the fuel consumption. execpt ofc the new weapons.
that is not true
yeah idk why people keep hyping the in game 120D
if anything they are slightly worse than the C5 because they are slightly heavier
people just be saying crap. i genuinely dont understand how people thing gnss somehow improves both notching and energy retention. hell probably also makes me coffee
Is there any truth to the often repeated claims that GNSS paired with datalink makes AIM-120D and PL-12A harder to chaff and notch against multipathing targets?
no
120C will hit the same shots when it is guided by DL
if there is any difference it is small enough to be negligible

This is the double standard I hate. Foreign trees get sub trees, tested vehicles and “compatible” weapons but people freak out of the US F5 gets flares. I’m sure foreign mains will demand the F35 before the US gets it because “we don’t need” all of our vehicles when other operators get them.

So then why did Germany get the Leopard 2AV when it was built specifically for the US tank competition with the XM1? Germany didn’t build it, Krauss Maffei did.
