    Or
    B: At the beginning of the engagement, do a brief specific showing of the missile load out and what they would be most likely used for.

    great video and a bit refreshing, the Flanker can be very versatile
    And Electro opticals are very useful, some of the century aircraft had had these but i don't know why they didn't really kept making jets with them
    Russians never stopped using them, pretty much all modern European jets have one (Typhoon, rafale, Gripen)
    It just seems weird to me. Electro opticals can litteraly replace the radar at short/medium range (depending on the weather and the performance of the EO) without warning the bandy
    It can even tell the range with a laser, but most modern jets have laser warning systems so they can still be warned by their RWR
