So apparently are amraams from nasams.The AA-13 Axehead is no longer a mystery to the West as a near intact example was obtained by the Ukrainians in February 2023 and it was passed onto the West for analysis, no doubt the donated F-16s will have their internal ECM avionics set to deal with this missile.
Holy crap, imagine the footage we would've gotten if there were smartphones and small cameras during the Korean War when two of the biggest superpowers were duking it out...View: https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1820357411149910035![]()
Russian Pilot Films His Flanker Falling Away After Ejecting During Combat Mission
The Russian pilot used a selfie video while parachuting to the ground to explain his jet had fallen victim to some kind of surprise attack. The Russian pilot used a selfie video while parachuting to the ground to explain his jet had fallen victim to some kind of surprise attack.www.twz.com
He is flying a wartime mission with his Smartphone?!!![]()
Selfies can kill you, definitively.
Regarding the Su-25 filmed ejection in the story, I guess it was a collision with a power cable?

Run the missile out of energy after the rocket motor burns out?The range would suggest a satellite acquisition and tracking ( I am guessing that the remote commanding operator is seeing both the Su-34 and the Patriot missile through overhead IR sensor).
Then there is the constant high G maneuvering. That is difficult to understand given the distance at which the missile is when they start jinking hard (80 km)
What I would suggest is that they have identified a particular aspect in dynamic maneuver where the missile can lost the track. What I can understand is that this is not a simple high G circling. Given the duration of the maneuver the presumed circling would have produced multiple case of overlapping heading.
So first, they fly toward the presumed launch point (north, 350). Then they are beaming 90 degree. But why the constant high G maneuvering? Mariupol looks to be flat terrain.
You could also try to make it hard for the SAMs radar to keep a lock

Given the (very low) known loss rate after initial successes with patriots, they appear to know what they do.I feel that is hard to do with a remotely modern radar. But perhaps some older sets have a liability, or perhaps they just think they do.
They say that the R-37M not only has a long range, but is also very effective against maneuverable targets. It was already said earlier, according to the results of the application in Ukraine, that the probability
Kinda curious on what's on the red circle ? This is a still from that documentary on the Su-35 engagement.
They usually use that reticle for gun range, but the left side scale says the target is a bit over 160km? So I’m not sure; this hud has more symbology than the regular su-27.Looks like a countdown tape that revolves around the circle to show when there is clearance for the missile to fire and when it is the optimal time to fire. And the 216 I think is kilometers. You guys agree?
Definitely, not the distance to the target. Expected flight-time, i presume?Kinda curious on what's on the red circle ?

we may soon see how it performs against more modern RWR like ones on F-16.
