thank you sir!No problem. Which ever section you go to, for example here you will see a large button on the right top corner for creating new threads. But I guess new members have to wait for a while before they can create new threads. I do not know the exact number of posts required, but perhaps a few dozens posts. So hurry up and comment on different threads to become able to create threads.
T38s aren't F5s and they sure as fvck don't make the bulk of TurAF.
see what I did there?Yeah, 40 is a very optimistic number and even if so they don't stand a chance
I've just explained to you very clearly using facts how the F-14 and S-300 have a longer range than your SOMs. I've also given you a figure on operational figure on F-14s derived from google earth, past losses, overhauling capabilities etc. etc. The F-14 is superior to the F-16 in BVR combat and the S-300 radars would be linked to the national network and they are mobile so would be placed on high vantage points anyway. They outrange the AGM-88B considerably.T38s aren't F5s and they sure as fvck don't make the bulk of TurAF.
F5 is the main bulk of Iranian air farce
Yeah, 40 is a very optimistic number and even if so they don't stand a chance
As for S300PMU2...depends.. it would have to stay on high ground to reach it's peak range. And then it would become an open target for SOMs
What? No, neither can outrange SOM.. or SLAM-ER for that matter. 500Km ranged variant of SOM is under development not even S400 can counter that. As for F14, they'll be detected by the peace eagle and destroyed with AIM120s and there are very few of them anyways
SLAM-ER is really slow for a cruise missile (only 0.7 mach) and itself would be taken out by S-300. S-300 was designed partly to take out cruise missiles because American doctrine is based on cruise missiles and the Russians obviously want to counter American doctrine.
We don't just have AIM120Cs we have AIM120Ds too... which can lock onto F14 before getting into radar range
It doesn't matter... AN/AWG9 could detect a fucking tupolev at 160kilometers range... at what range do you think it could detect an F16?
What? How can you claim a plane has a shorter range radar than it's missile's range? Did you read what I said earlier?
I don't fucking know alright? I hadn't slept in two ffucking days
Lol go to sleep, I never wanted you to lose sleep over our F-14s.
(I joke)
as far as I know F16 radars can't really lock onto something at the extent of AMRAAM's range. What it does is it fires and it locks onto target halfway through or somewhere along those lines.Lol go to sleep, I never wanted you to lose sleep over our F-14s.
Actually the F-16D's radar (APG 68) is pretty good, range of up to 300 km and digitized. So the AIM-120 is well within radar range. It's just that the US Navy's upgraded AWG-9 dubbed the APG 71 was bigger and had a longer range of about 350 km. That was 90s so upgraded Iranian AWG-9 should be around the same, if not more, and with better targeting because it's newer technology.
The reason I discount the F-16s range is because it's a light fighter and can't carry useful numbers (if at all, AIM-54 is HUGE) of long range missiles like the F-14 can (up to 6 AIM-54s with 2 sidewinders). There's not really any point in having a long range radar for a fighter jet unless you have the long range missiles to utilise it.
Lastly, the F-16 and F-14 radars use the same pulse doppler radar waves. They really don't really have much difference in terms of size of target identification. The reason they say F-14 is better for long range is simply because the plane has a long range, the radar is big, as are the AIM-54 missiles. This all adds up to a long range system that was designed to counter Soviet bombers carrying long range anti ship missiles but is no less effective against fighter sized targets, as was proved by the massive number of kills against Iraqi fighter jets in the imposed war (1980-1988).
