because there many thing more complicated in a missile than just the engine and aerodynamic , for example : software , sensor , also finding customer , finding enough funding for large production …etc

so competitors will wait untill you sort out your funding problem. they will go in other directions to defeat the thing that your advertizing for decades without delivering operationally.

1-what the weight of rvv-bd :confused: btw missiles and pylon reduce speed of su-35 mainly due to drag
2- explained before meteor have ramjet engine , r-77 SD doesnt =>meteor have longer range , and i compared just to show you that producer can improve missiles range without increase weight that all , iam not an expert ,neither do you , or any guy here so we dont know why exactly one missile have longer range than the other ok , i can give opinion but that all

Its 510kg for export version. you didnot showed anything but merely comparing missiles from different time lines that are some time decades apart. your hopelessly trying to reduce Su-35 speed when it carries RVV-BD when much heavier ASM it can launch at mach 1.5

i already told you meteor use ramjet engine while R-77 dont have engine and, the range of missiles is depend on many factor , just because they have identical weight doesnot mean they will have equal range ( another example : Mica vs R 550 Magic )
and also with 10 missiles the su-35 will slow down to mach 1.7 ( if you carry RVV-BD it will be even worse because the missiles is much bigger )

Kh-31PD can be launched at mach 1.5. and that missile is 50% heavier than RVV-BD. so i doubt RVV-BD will slow down Su-35 that much.

your always comparing missiles from different time lines like R550 magic with MICA. it like comparing R-60MK with R-73.
R-77SD is more newer missile than Meteor. so its unlikely that much difference in range.

one have engine , the other dont , and again bigger doesnot equal longer range
Ex : PAC-3 vs ESSM or AIM-7 vs AIM-120 ..etc

PAC-3 short range is against billistic missiles. AIM-120 is much newer missile than AIM-7.

aim-120d max range = 180 km , meteor max range = 160 km so not much shorter than rvv-bd
btw in future when stealth fighter like f-35 , f-22 , j-31 , j-20 , t-50 go in service there be even less use for missiles like RVV-BD , not to mention ROE

so Meteor has 160km?. that is about 1.5 times R-77SD. which is 190kg missile.
RVV-BD is export restricted to 200km. there is other uses beside fighter aircraft like cruise missiles/support aircraft for BD etc.

nose pointing isnot even needed as we have jhmcs and hobs missiles :rolleyes:

thats the problem. when you spend ur limted budget in expensive hobs missiles/JHMCS. you have less money left to develop RVV-BD class missile. with advanced 360 degree situational awarness, nose pointing ability, higher altitude. there is less need for short range agile missile than R-73 for Ruaf. there is active R-73 version that works like medium range BVR missile.

you dont get my point :(:(
what i mean is one of them is for medium range , the other is for dogfight => different purpose => it kind of dumb to say that one is better

you still not getting the point. that in old days AIM-9L could barely pull 25 to 30g. and now medium range BVR missiles pull 40 to 50 g. so that lines are blured. Medium range AAM are now effective in WVR combat as long as new fighters have nose pointing ability. so there is very much less need for extreme agility that decreases the range.

the max range of meteor still classifed it likely have the same range as ramjet R-77M
btw you should read this

BTW i think Rafale can carry Aim-120D too

su-35 have less top speed than f-15 = more drag ( if it have more powerful engine => this even more true ) , btw you still havenot gave me any link to support your point that su-35 can go beyond mach 2 with weapon
TVC only improve instantaneous turn rate not sustain turn rate no matter it 2D or 3D

it does not say anything about range despite SD-10 being 15 year newer missile than R-77 and R-77 likely to be export down graded. Its only electronics upgrade.

Reporter asked : Our SD-10 has a good ranking. Why do you say our SD-10 is more advanced than R-77?
Designer: We adopted some technologies more advanced than R-77’s, so SD-10’s overall performance is better than R-77’s. For instance, our strap-down initial navigation system, signal processing system are more advanced than R-77’s. Our missile was developed relatively later than R-77.Some new technologies were not mature when R-77 was developed, so R-77 didn’t use the new technologies, but when SD-10 was developed, the new technologies became mature, so we adopted the new technologies in SD-10.
