    • @MarvinWestmaas
      @MarvinWestmaas Місяць тому +9

      You should clarify your statement.
      SAM's come in many flavors... glide bombs do not have an IR signature ( no engine ) so heat seeking sam's are useless to start with against current orc glide bombs.
      Radar signature is very small, so that's not a really feasible solution either.
      IR manpads need line of sight.
      Tell me which SAM's are well suited to intercept glide bombs?

    • @Nimmermaer
      @Nimmermaer Місяць тому +1

      The radar cross section is small, but probably not impossibly small. With glide kits, it should definitely be >0.25m² for the FAB-500 and significantly higher for the FAB-1500.

      The 2 patriot batteries are still active if short 2 launchers.
      The AFU are scheduled to receive 5 new batteries to be delivered this year.
      The announcement came from the factory at about the same time that the company announced that it had increased production to 500 missiles/yr (41/month) and will be at 550 by end of 2024.

    As far as maintaining radio silence in real life, pilots have the luxury of using hand signs to communicate, where you guys don't. And there's a AWAC's transmitting VOX to all, they just cannot reply, but they can hear it. So it's like having a quarterback calling out the plays and the lineman hearing, but not responding. "...and turn...NOW!..." And the newer aircraft, the F-35 and F-22 can send text back and forth on their datalinks, it's all part of the high information aspect of the new systems. DCS is not really set up for that kind of thing. But it would be fun to try. Even if one person acted like an AWACs and coached each player.

Dividing targets has been a long standing problem leading to overkill, wasted missiles, wasted money, wasted life. Typically the goal is to sink a ship, not kill the whole crew. And hypersonics matter because stand-off systems can be overcome by speed. US adopted this stand off approach. That was countered by superior dog fighters and hypersonics.
