  1. Lots of open questions: ARE they getting AMRAAM with it? How much and what kind of air-to-ground munitions? What kind of jammer support? How much more antiradiation missiles? (because to effective, they will have to a lot of Wild Weasel missions to roll back Russian ADA systems)

  2. Yeah, I saw an article where a Uke pilot was talking about how the Flankers and MIG-31's hang back over the border and lob missiles at them from the safety of the Russian SAM net. Going to need something long range to push them back/counter. @SakiniCZ

  4. Okay. And that fits with previous weapon systems; AIM-120B is out of service for C models, and the US Air Force and others have just went to the -D variant according to Wiki and are probably working on its replacement now in R&D.  @Spey_Phantom

  6. Interesting. But since they got a HARM fired off a MIG-29, I hold out hope of field mods. @iatsd
