well you could complain, if russian planes were able to share data between them, but they cant you need an awacs or EWR so it and only it can share data with the rest of you, now lets start with the fact that datalinks dont disappear after radar looses contact with them, sometimes they stay thee FOREVER, then the russian TWS is completely useless it locks up everything automatically, and last the R-60 has the same flare rejection with the r-73 and ET, though im not being fair the aim-9m flare rejection is horrible as well.
is that so?
people would be getting a lot of kills if you gave them a shovel and a bunch of rocks, that argument doesnt defeat the point that it doesnt do something that is known it can do.
finally i dont think this version of the f-15c shouldnt have datalink if it has it in real life.
