Russian special military operation in Ukraine #21

They should hurry to produce the r-77M.

I guess all these months you were wrong with assuring me that the R-77-1 is adequate

Everything I've seen of these so far is pretty astounding. They are sounding quite effective. Fighter pilots are almost never going to launch at maximum range unless it is first salvo against a rival who has equal or better weaponry and wishes to spam missiles to cause the enemy to break up and turn to evade

Edit: had to add a thought

As I kept saying, these are absolutely pathetic against the  AIM-120D, PL-15 and meteor. Even 110km range is pathetic, especially against nonmaneuverable targets. We have ZERO evidence that there is even a SINGLE R-77M in production, which is highly concerning. Russia is one generation behind in mass production of AAMs. By the time the R-77M arrives in service, China will have a PL-15 successor, meteor will be upgraded and the AIM-260 will be in production.

Western and chinese AAMs most likely have a NEZ of around 80+km against fighter sized targets.

This is most likely the fault of retarded penny pinchers in the MoD, and probably lobbying by the air defence troops for funding SAMs, which resulted in neglect in developing adequate AAMs. After all the R-77-1 was put into service in 2015, but it has the performance of AIM-120s from 1999.

How is a 3 kill with R-77-1 inadequate?

More western fanboys just mad

The range of R77-1 was shown to be much longer

That Su35 was close in and scored 3 kills on 1 mig 29 and 2 su25

it shows excellent parameters, and was an easy kill

You missed the part where none of those vaporware missiles were used in combat

AIM120 never scored a kill at those ranges, the kills in Iraq were done within 40km as well

Bunch of western clowns

Vann derangement syndrome

Meteor cannot be equated to R77, but R37 which has longer range than all these missiles

R77 has a performance scope and it performed excellent scoring 3 kills

Has Meteor even seen combat? Pl15? Lmao

Yes against aircraft from the early 80s. Try that against a Rafale with meteors.

All these planes will be swatted out of the sky by mid range SAMs more than anything.

So much bullshit , Rafale flies in combat simulation only

Meteor should be used, then we can draw conclusions

Not just from brochure

As for AIM120 they were used against 1980 Iraqi Air Force with AWACS guidance

Gtfo

Trainer on their weapons?

If you did not notice from the video...

The first engagement shows that the enemy's aircraft was flying from 9' to 3', meaning the AAM needs to have an aimpoint far infront of it's target. This is by definition chasing a maneuverable aircraft, which burns a lot of fuel in the process. Not a head-on launch, which the maximum range of AAMs is always advertized as.

The second engagement shows that the target's range indicator isn't changing even a bit. That is proof that the enemy was fleeing.
A chasing missile will never reach its maximum engagement range on the HUD display even if it would cover that advertized distance.

I have already shown where the range and target's range indicators are. Even you should be able to read a display with instructions.


Like Isos already said, the actual real-world ranges of such weapons are lower than what is advertized, let alone the decision of Pilot and Commander if he gets confirmition and authorization to launch or not. All that takes time which directly translates to getting closer to the target.

I have an impression you start to play dumb like RTN.

Probably showing how to operate Carl Gustav, as well as other Swedish weaponry they said they were giving robot 17 Ashm maybe they also were completing NASAMS deal with Ukrainian air force

**** them, waste them in the outhouse

Are the Su-27SM, Su-27SM3 and Su-34 not R-77 capable?

They are, but how many were in service in the 1990s or early 2000s?

The Su-27SM didn't start to enter service till the middle of the 2000s and they hardly flowed into service in enormous numbers... many parts of the RVV-AE being Ukrainian so most of those bought were for export only.

I hope that they will really get several hundred drones.

I hope they start working together on developing drones... Russia has lots of things that would improve Iranian drones and I am sure Iran has experience the Russians would benefit from too.

I guess all these months you were wrong with assuring me that the R-77-1 is adequate

They seemed to have killed the targets they were fired at... what were you expecting in terms of adequacy?

As I kept saying, these are absolutely pathetic against the AIM-120D, PL-15 and meteor.

The kill performance for those missiles is largely marketing BS and propaganda isn't it?

Even 110km range is pathetic, especially against nonmaneuverable targets. We have ZERO evidence that there is even a SINGLE R-77M in production, which is highly concerning. Russia is one generation behind in mass production of AAMs. By the time the R-77M arrives in service, China will have a PL-15 successor, meteor will be upgraded and the AIM-260 will be in production.

I understand all the many kills by PL-15 and AMRAAM and of course the hundreds of kills by Meteor is putting these kills by R-77s to shame but by all means talk us through how greater range makes a missile so much better.

Western and chinese AAMs most likely have a NEZ of around 80+km against fighter sized targets.

Only 80km.... why not a million kms?

This is most likely the fault of retarded penny pinchers in the MoD, and probably lobbying by the air defence troops for funding SAMs, which resulted in neglect in developing adequate AAMs. After all the R-77-1 was put into service in 2015, but it has the performance of AIM-120s from 1999.

The fact that you can say that tells me not to listen to anything you say.

But humour me... how many R-77s have the Russians used in this conflict and how many aircraft have been shot down as a result of those launches?

What is their kill rate?

Don't know?

But it is still a bad missile?

Hmmm... interesting.

The range of R77-1 was shown to be much longer

Using any AAM at max range is an act of desperation and never a smart thing to do... it alerts the enemy and gives them their best chances of evading the missile.

Yes against aircraft from the early 80s. Try that against a Rafale with meteors.

Well they can't because the French and HATO refuse to man up and fight... they prefer to send weapons and ammo and hide behind the Ukrainians.

Last superpower and the most powerful military grouping on the planet and too afraid to send fighter planes towards Russia...

How many Meteors do they even have in service anyway... if they joined the fight how long would they last?

Oh my... let yet more of those Western Wunderwaffen try their luck against MiG-31 and we will see what the NEZ of their missiles is, compared to the respective value for R-37 that will be hunting them

Any Russian Air to Air missile has Nuclear or Emp warhead ? Most of these considerations will then become irrelevant . Americans had some . I wonder if they still have them ? I would arm with nukes now . Particularly the SAM to be used in Russian territory . Same with AA missiles over Russian territory !

A nuclear air to air missile

There is no reason you'd need such a thing

Fighter got downed, hope it's not ours

The US had both a guided and an unguided nuclear tipped air to air missiles. The AIM-26 Falcon and the AIR-2 Genie (unguided rocket).

Probably friendly fire.

Looks like it was Su35, not good , a su34 then su35 within a day of each other

Even if it was friendly fire, it's not good at all

* edit some said it was su34, but only 1 pilot is seen

Friendly fire it seems. I wonder if it is not some system given to Donbass separatists. Or worse Ukro cracked their IFF which is doubtfull since they change it every hour or so.

Too bad to loose 2 sukhoi in 2 days.

They need more strike drones and desperatly need the Checkmate to be mass produced.

I was thinking the same thing. LDPR got Buk-M1 systems recently. Might be lack of training or something.
