Looks like MiG-29K/KUB will have Bars-29.

The R-33 & R-37 have confirmed kills against drones. It’s had no opportunity to be used in combat- but if someone can explain to me how exactly an AGM-86B CALCM will be substantially different from a low-flying drone, I’d like to hear it. Its targets were cruise missiles and bombers. It was never meant for air combat against another fighter.

The R-37 definitely has no opportunity to be used in combat because a) it’s no in service and b) has been superseded by the K-37M.

Mexico makes a lot more sense in this regard, indeed. A factory in the region would do a world of good, and make Mil helicopters even more attractive than they already are (and Ka-60s too?).

As to the Ukraine-American deal, it’s probably related to relatively mundane troop equipment matters; Iraq’s new “army” (it’s a bit lame to be called that, but anyway) is still equipped along Soviet lines.

Yeah, but how do I know how many airfields are in portland?
