Thank you
Do you have any information on Turkish f16 in 1980s operating Sparrows ?

Is this range of 300 miles with external fuel tank ? or without ?

Thanks paralay
So 1 PTB means one external tank combat radius in air to air role (im guessing 6 AAM) is 536 km ? Roughly 330 miles
Just clarifying I’m just an amateur sorry

Thank you very much
Can you please give me an idea of the source of these stats

With centerline tank it’s 300 miles ?

I would like the opinion of other members to this

The comparison of Mirage III/5 and Mig-23MS is more valid as
They have roughly similar A2A weapon systems
They have similar avionics
A2G weapons I think Mirage is superior to Mig-23MS
And aerodynamically and their flying characteristics they need to be compared , any input there is truly appreciated

Mirage F1 and MiG-23ML/MLD are kind of similar but that’s a separate discussion

Yes, simultaneous tracking of four targets using R-33s.. plus tracking of another four whose coordinates can be transmitted to other fighters or SAM systems

this should have made mig-31 a really important part of air defence of USSR in 80s

can they transmit coordinates to mig-29 or su-27 ?

Thanks but the inboard pylon looks like fuel tanks not bombs
