​@@BullittMacDaddyThats why its radarsignature is so low.

[@Malsum]

​@@BullittMacDaddyit needs to be small. Here in Sweden the placement of these aircrafts are "decentralized". Instead of being concentrated to airfield the enemy can bomb, the entire highway road system here is build so Gripen (and it's predecessor Viggen, way back in the 70s) could start and land. Built into this system along the highways are small concealed 1-plane bases, so the plane can land, back in and dissappear. So it needs to fit... 😉 The turnaround on these babies within this system is also ridiculously fast. 10 minutes to full re-armament and refueling, and it can be done with only one trained technician aided by 4-5 untrained conscripts. It's entirely built to strike hard and then disappear. Pop up from nowhere and strike again... Hit - dissappear. Over and over. It's basicly guerilla warfare with airforce, brought on by the need to defend against the much larger Russia.

Not having a long-range air intercept capability _really_ holds the F-15 back. It's still an impressive airframe, but if it had JATMs or even Meteors combined with that radar....

[@Iwillfigureoutanamelater]

That is what AIM-120Ds are for with an estimated range of 87-100mi depending on the source (true range is classified). The AIM-260 JATM's range of at least 120mi will be a bit of an improvement though.

​@@IwillfigureoutanamelaterAs far as I know, the AIM-260 should be double the range or more of the AMRAAM (and the 120D's range is likely pretty understated with how the US releases information.) So the AIM-260 could definitely be a 200+ mile missile.

It's a pretty apples to oranges comparison. You have an air to air platform, reoptimized redesigned for ground target - deep strike and interdiction. Vs a small, high mobility TRUE multirole fighter. The TRUE analoge US opponent to the Grippen is a current model Viper C with comparable loadout.

​@@logicplagueI agree, especially from what I've read from the Norwegian pilots' anecdotes they've got pretty good sustained turn rates whilst having excellent slow speed maneuverability.

In round 2, how would the meteor react if you climbed 30sec earlier? would it still have enough KE to climb with you?

[@D-365]

That radar return is doing the F-15 no favors against such a good missle. If it had a missile to keep its opponents at bay, it would hold its own a lot better. I kind of wish the F15 2 would have taken some of the stealth aspects from the Silent Eagle, like the slanted tail fins, to help conceal that massive return hotspot.

[@andyvonbourske6405]

at 11:39 it's the perfect example of the Doppler effect . when traveling the same speed the missile can't see him but as soon as he changes speed it reacquires him.

[@2KOOLURATOOLGaming]

It tracks him all the way up until he puts in the burner. Once he equalises speed it loses him for a second (doesn't make any attitude change). It then reacq's and I guess freaks out with that direction change compared to its last update. Not sure how well the stuff is modelled, but I wonder, why can it not see him. If the seeker is pulsing and looking for frequency shift within the returns then why does it not also use the negative? If the ground is really fast (relative vel) and the echoes from the air and clouds are also fast, why not look at the spot that is not coming toward you at all? I wonder if real Fox3's do this, or if there is an issue with it like the sky being a huge negative space. It's the same idea as Submarine's being a black hole with no sound compared to the water around. Don't look for something, look for the lack of something else?

[@clairecelestin8437]

I think the missile had track that whole time, especially because it sees him against the sky and not ground clutter so it doesn't need to rely on doppler. When he changes speed, the missile tries to change course to the new intercept point. I think the reason the missile pitches violently is because that's the precise instant when the missile can no longer calculate an intercept path, and we're basically watching it have a 'divide by 0' error.
