agaugust:The ALQ-99 has seen action in the second gulf war,vietnam war,Libya,first gulf war,balkans war etc....What are the operational credentials of the SAP-14?,where have they been used?. @agaugust,dont get carried away by cheap russian propaganda,if the ALQ-99 boggs down the growler and prowler,imagine what the more cumbersome SAP-14 will do to the SU-30SM. ALQ-99 can target and jam a wide multiple array of frequency bands simultaneously,how many simultaneous frequency bands can the SAP-14 jam?.Americans that spend billions on R & D ,dont do it because they enjoy parting with their dollars,they do it to achieve superior and durable outcomes. |

DictatorZAR:Meteor= 100km range max. AIM-120D= 180km range,200km max. |

EVarn:The Meteor is a Ramjet missile and its faster and more manoeuvrable then the AIM-120D and less prone to ECM's like all BVR missiles in its class https://defenseissues./2012/12/15/aim-120d-vs-mbda-meteor/ |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn(m): 11:32am On Sep 24, 2015 |
DictatorZAR:Red Flag?,you see,we must be very careful when comparing mock battles with real life scenario. In real battle,the F22 will utterly demolish the Rafale. the F22 has a cruise altitude of 65,000ft max.,with a cruise speed of 1500knot,along with its thrust vectoring nozzles for added maneoverability,tell me how the rafale will survive such speed and agilitity coupled with superior BVR AMRAAMs. Mock battles have standard ROE that restricts participating platforms from utilizing their full capabilities i.e radars and ECM. Even the new T50 would find it hard to challenge both the F22 and F35. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn(m): 11:46am On Sep 24, 2015 |
DictatorZAR:AIM-120D can fly at maximum speed and range in very high altitude where the capability of the Meteor will be significantly diminished. All it would take is for the AIM-120D to lure the Meteor into higher altitude and kill it. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 12:05pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
EVarn:The Meteor has a 3x better NEZ rating then the 120D and is way faster. Do you know the advantage a ramjet motor has over solid fuel motors like the AIM-120D. The very AIM-120D is almost useless in cold icy altitude conditions, this is the very conditions its likely to be deployed in. Go read why Europe especially Germany, France, UK and Sweden is ditching AIM-120D in favour of the more capable Meteor. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn(m): 12:24pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
DictatorZAR:FACT: (1) Meteor has never been tested against any worthy opponent (2) Meteor being a ramjet missile,makes use of external oxygen supply to obtain maximum cruise and speed,while AIM-120D utilizes solid fuel and therefore can perform excellently in high altitude where oxygen is scarce or devoid. (3) The older variant AIM-120C has made 6 kills out of 13 engagements,Meteor has made none. (4) Meteor enjoys high NEZ rating at sea level,the AIM-120D operates optimally at high atmospheric level. I could go on.... |

[size=15pt]HOLY SH!T!!! ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVING AN EDUCATED AND INFORMED DEBATE ON THIS THREAD!?!? I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE THE DAY!! Well played gentlemen - the argument is both intriguing and informative. 10/10 for all involved [/size] |

patches689:I must say, i'm impressed. Missiles aren't generally my area of interest. So for me, it is a learning curve and very informative debate. |

patches689:Just enjoying myself and The argument is interesting. I think the best way to judge would be testing the two against each other. But sincerely I still believe American equipment are overrated. |

Henry120:Looking at photographs and aircraft air frame stealth construction, the F-22 is SUPPOSED to defeat Su-30 SM...BUT NO, the weapons/radar/irst on the Su-30 SM Flanker will defeat the overrated F-22 Raptor and surprise the whole world . F-22 detects first but CANNOT attack first, with a 72 km range missile, he will fly into the 90 km IRST range of the Su-30 before trying to fire missile, but then the Su-30 has a 100 km missile, so he fires first at 90 km, while F-22 is waiting to close gap at 72 km. By the time the F-22 has a chance to fire any missile, the Su-30 fired missile is already nearer to his jet so F-22 pilot will be struggling for his life to avoid death from an incoming super speed missile, and his overrated American F-22 is inside no escape zone of Russian 100% accurate missile.....overrated Yankee is dead o ! . |

DictatorZAR:Nope ! Russian Novator K-100 will be the world's best BVR missile with 200 km range confirmed and range 300 km to 400 km version under observation to verify, no rival on planet earth.

US resorts to using "dirty tactics" in Syria . . http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/09/24/430548/Syria-US-Trained-Militants-Daesh-Mark-Glenn . Dirty tactics indeed,what is the rationale behind training 50-70 "moderate muslims" to fight Assad?. If the US wants Assad gone,then it should back a Turkish invasion of Syria under the guise of smoking out PKK rebels,instead of playing games that cost lives everyday.There is nothing Russia will do other than make noise. Betterstill,let the US declare Assad a war criminal,accuse him of stockpiling chemical weapons and invade the country themselves,like they did in Libya and Iraq. The dynamics playing out now is costing too many lives,the US action in Syria is further arming violent groups like Al-Nusra and even ISIS. Either they topple Assad or leave Assad alone. |

Russia "vows" to retaliate if US upgrade germany's nuclear missiles . . http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/09/23/430468/Russia-US-Germany-Peskov-Bchel-B6112 . Retaliate from where?,here we go again,Russia always "vow" this or "warn" that,but never takes any action. Now they are threatening to station their Ishkandar-M in the Baltic sea,on the Polish border. Let us see how that goes. |

agaugust:Meteor is undoubtedly the worlds' best BVR missile in the world. No doubt about it |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn(m): 6:21pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
agaugust:Indeed Bro,neither do you. American ECM have war records to bank on,Russian ECM have none. |

EVarn:I am not the one ranking one above the other, all I said is nobody has monopoly of ECM jamming over others. Russia will jam, America will jam. Russian ECM have war records too, they saw live BRV combat action in Badme war Ethiopia Vs Eritrea, it was Su-27 Flanker and it shot down every MiG-29 that fought it to conclusion, that is a fair war where both jets were flown by mercenary Ukrainian/Russian pilots, not like American pilots flying against 3rd world countries pilots and claiming champion. Let Saudi Arabian pilot fly F-15 against Russian pilot having Su-30 Flanker plus Russian AWACS aircraft and ECM aircraft extra support, then we will know how western equipment perform against eastern stuff, so that people can draw conclusion like they did in Iraq Vs USA air war. Bros, you get the jist? . |
