I was thinking cruise missiles as an amraam truck. Would be an expendable way to get a heap of missiles inside excellent parameters in a major air fight. They could be fired from safe ranges (for the B1/B52) and the anti aircraft missiles fired through datalink. The cruise missile could also investigate airspace where stealth aircraft are suspected to be if it had it’s own radar / could leverage the amraam’s radar.

This is freaking awesome, congrats Cap and Co. One interesting theory is the JATM or other missile in development (the US has reportedly two or three "next-gen" air-to-air missiles in development - lookup the Peregrine missile for example, a small cheap missile to double medium range carrying capacity or another one is a small/light kinetic kill model), will utilize a portion of the second pulse of rocket power, or perhaps a special third motor in order to fire it once it goes terminal. This would boost the PK considerably based on the theory modern missiles are great, but stealth and tactics will likely defeat long-range missiles without the terminal boost.

I have not seen it but I wonder about the F35 working with the F15. What I have read and it seems to be hinted at is that the F35 can act as a forward AWACs. If datalink works well then F35's could flank left and right with an AWAC behind to give almost 180 deg coverage to eliminate hiding from the radar. The F15's can launch and run as needed. It is just a thought.

Anyone here know what happened with the SABOT type missile that was talked about in 2005ish? It was said to be completely new time of dual missile. One large body extreme speed massive missile is launched toward a target, then once it goes so many miles iirc it was over 100 the smaller and highly manueverable missile is released from the carrier sabot missile, giving a large warhead on a small manueverable and fast missile from well beyond typical radar ranges. So it was a missile in a missile. They said it was like using a stealth plane to carry the missile to a good range without endangering pilots. Did they kill it for drones? Hadnt hear a peep since. wish I could remember where I saw the little blurb.

9:35 Another thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that, yes, even though the missile is smaller and has less drag, it also has less mass. Initially that may seem like a good thing and it is, for the boost phase. For the coasting phase, a missile with smaller mass will slow down quicker than the same missile that is heavier because of Newton’s 2nd law. All in all though I would imagine the reduced drag outweighs (get it😅) the smaller mass of the missile.

It may not even be possible to model properly but I'd love to see how a Meteor fairs in this same situation against the AIM-260 with the throttled thrust accounted for accurately rather than as they are modded currently with just a longer burn. My guess is the ability to cruise long distance to target slower and then throttle up at the end and still have thrust so it isn't reliant purely on kinetic energy in the terminal phase is far more valuable in BVR than pure maximum range is. If nothing else this simulation has shown that range is only really valuable if the missile has enough legs at the final moments.

So Cap, for your conclusion on having more missiles. It's that, plus the US simply gaining range parity. Once they gain the range with China, either equal or greater, it allows the greater experience and training of US pilots to take over. I think we can all pretty much agree internationally, one of the benefits of the massive US air assets and budget for the past half-century (plus) is excellent training combining the most experienced air doctrine and air combat knowledge worldwide. China can copy US training and claim to have superior pilots, but they haven't flown the sorties and gained the collective debrief knowledge (it must be several hundred thousand in total over the past couple of decades).

Personally I would slow the missiles down to simulate their true time to target if they realistically lofted. Lasering at full speed even if it’s an accurate speed is not a realistic time of flight compared to a ballistic trajectory. The target would have longer to evade and also additional closure time to fire their own missiles. So an accurate ETA is more important at these ranges than worrying about max speed specifications.

Just a quick point - you keep talking about Mach as though it's a fixed speed. It's a function of air temperature. It varies. On the ground in Dubai the air temperature can be as high as 40-50 degrees C. Top end for Mach there is 360 m/s. Get above around 36,000 though and the temperature is fairly reliably around -56 degrees C, so Mach there is 295 m/s. A delta of 65 m/s, or to turn that into knots - about 126kts, which obviously would be 252kts at Mach 2, and 378kts at Mach 3. Simply guestimating based on the speed is going to get you wildly off base.
@robotswithgunzlol Жыл бұрын
Case in point - at 13:28 you described a missile as going "at about Mach 2", when it was 30,000ft and doing 1513kn. At that altitude in a standard atmosphere, the temperature would be -44.5 degrees C, which would make Mach equal to 589kn, meaning the missile was doing closer to 2.56 Mach.
