    Why not against Python-5 😎 😀

    well i think Python-5 is still being developed, aint it?

    BTW, that video is awesome, thanks brother 😎
    but then again, the other guy has also off-boresight, awesome maneouvrability and had also fired its R-73 (sure its not on the video) but in real life we know, so…it still looks to me that both the oponents will “buy the farm” …man modern air combat its getting too complicated to me.
    somebody said, combat aircraft developement, should have stopped at the F-86 / Mig-15…i agree :rolleyes:

    another, the combination DASH/Python-4, i’ve heard that is lethal, but shouldnt the russians have come up with an equivalent system? such as …”DASH-ky/R-73x”? i mean upgraded and not the old 80’s system?
    sure i hope :confused:

    thanks erez (shalom) 😉
    the link is good and pretty informative.
    now comparing, it doesnt seem to be superior to the amraam nor the R-77, ain’t it?, its still a formidable weapon but seems to be just a complement for the Python-4 with slightly longer range and still no mention of any datalink fpr mid-course update.
    wouldnt like it comming towards me anyway 😀

    about the yakhont, yes i’ve just found out that it can be fired from the Mig-29 (x2), 3 from the Su-27 (and derivatives) and 8 from the Tu-142.
    its an awesome weapon it seems.
    also the Ks-172 only speaks from Sukhoi platform, but i wander if the Mig-29 could also with the proper upgrade, do the same.

    smells like CFIT to me, sad for the crews, but still smells bad.

    thanks GDL.
    agreed is the yakhont.
    now why is it being shown with the SMT plenums?, does it mean that it can also be fired from the SMT? 😮
