So F-15 that is carrying external fuel tanks and heavy offensive ordinance has no better maneuverability than an F-4 Phantom then?
The reason I’m asking is that there is a concept of mission kills I think in Vietnam that was used by the communist that if the fighter which is the Interceptor can have the attacking aircraft Jettison it’s offensive ordinance than it has succeeded in its mission
Thanks maybe they would fare a little better against the shaddocks since ive read that the kyndas cannot fire them aa a-salvo of 8 but usually of 2 at a time
Is that true ?
Please feel free to correct my assessments
If a destroyer with 1 sea sparrow and is attacked by 4-5 supersonic missiles at the same time ( like P-500) can it take out all 4 of them ? or will it overwhelm its defences given its short range
I was looking at the OOB of soviet units based in thr far East and it seemed like tracking and hunting P3 orions snooping around the Soviet coastline could be another role for them.
Did all P3 orions typically fly with escort fighters ?
Did the kyndas pose a significant ASUW threat to modern ships in the 80s ?
I mean they might be equivalent to some destroyers in service with Turkish navy but were the conventional shaddocks essentially obsolete by then? And what I meant was the only possible use of these ships in 80s might be as single mission to launch a single strike with some TNW on a NATO SAG before they are taken out ? Your thoughts?
