+Coupi Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) A new member of the Wild Weasel community... However I suppose the Fulcrum should be equipped to target radars with a pod ! I think about the AN/ASQ-213 HARM targeting system... this should be not easy to deploy it so quickly with this soviet era fighter ! Edited August 20, 2022 by Coupi 2 Quote
+Gepard Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Bad photoshoped picture of a MiG-29. The original shows a german MiG-29G firing a R-27 missile. So it is fake news. Edited August 20, 2022 by Gepard 1 Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 The photo that Binkov dude used is defo rubbish (that photo is pretty famous in the West. It'd easily be in the first 3 hits in a google search for a Luft Mig-29), but apparently they are using AGM-88s integrated in something of an ad hoc on Mig-29s. Only -88Bs or Cs and with limited functionality since it's only the missile itself and nothing else. No pods, none of the integrated avionics and not full functionality. A coworker buddy of mine was listening to this guy the other day and my ears pricked up when they started talking about HARM. Still maybe take it with a grain of salt for the moment because of all the well intentioned but still unhelpful white noise surrounding the conflict (as opposed to the horsesh*t that is the Soviets' no. 1 export atm), but this HARM stuff is being reported by some decent sources which is what makes me lean towards it possibly happening. This should take you straight to the part. https://youtu.be/Qjwt2b4WzEE?t=1906 ) 3 Quote
bazillius Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 1 hour ago, SayWhatt said: The photo that Binkov ... Sure it's a clickbait joke. This picture. Our gov said that we got AGM-88D but who knows may be its a desinformation. They publish a list of received weapons. After the while.. In fact, it is not known from where and how HARMs was launched. Nobody tells us. Maybe even from the ground. Quote
+MigBuster Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 The Drive is often just a rumor followed by 90% speculation so tend to ignore it.................. but they have taken it from a US gov briefing transcript (that the Drive article does not link to that I can see). https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3134558/senior-defense-official-holds-a-background-briefing/ Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted August 20, 2022 Author Posted August 20, 2022 to everyone speculating, the DoD confirmed we've given them HARMs. and they've been pretty coy until they cant be about anything involving tactical aviation and Ukraine throughout.. https://news.yahoo.com/pentagon-confirms-transfer-anti-radar-092800184.html Quote
