Exactly my point and unfortunately there is absolutely no will from ED to do modern russian planes as realistic as possible, even if it is not 100%. The lack of information is just something they hide behind, especially since the players are more focused on the accuracy of flight models than the accuracy of electronic systems and the sensitive intel is about the systems. The flight model is displayed in airshows, not the accuracy of radars or the range of effective jamming. They prefer to do the guesswork with modern US missiles to shoot down 80s russian planes.

Doing research among available public material and adding a bit of guesswork to fill the gaps has never frightened ED when they were adding US modern planes and missiles and of course they modelled classified material without having the complete technical documentation because in any country possessing such documents leads you in prison. For example a developper from ED (Oleg Tishchenko) has been tried and imprisoned for possessing a more than 20 years old F16 manual. Yet we have a full fidelity F-16 (and I am sure it is not full fidelity, just ask a real pilot, some gaps have been filled by guessworking). It's incredible that Redfor players are still there, politely asking for something that will never come. You'll only have 40 years old relics because "Russians lag behind" and "Classified documents are classified in Russia"

For Redfor gears, wait for mods, ED focuses on the opposite side. High digit SAMs by Auranis is an absolutely great mod and is not nerfed multiple times after release if it downs an F-18 by mistake and triggers a whinestorm

Thank you guys! I hope ED is going to listen to you and apply a significant buff on US missiles. Their russian bias is blatant, DCS always depicts US planes and missiles as the underdog, outdated and underperforming compared to russian gears.

Nice try but it is not a US weapon. You know the russians lag 30 years behind us and don't publish their military documents so there is no solution to your problem.
