Weapon overview

[Spectre11]

Been reading this thread and no mention of the eurofighter carrying SEAD weapons.

I am guessing the ALAARM weapon in DID EF2000 simulation game was a fictitious addition.

 

Are you talking about ALARM or the S-225 LRAAM? The latter was indeed a more fictional weapon, albeit it was what would become Meteor.

 

The ALARM was planned for integration, but the RAF eventually withdrew its stock of ALARMs from service.

The Wild Weasel missile for the german Eurofighter was supposed to be the Armiger, a anti radiation variant of the Meteor. Like the LD10 is the anti radiation variant of the SD10 in the JF-17.

ARMIGER was not exactly an ARM version of the Meteor. It just used a similar ramjet system and that's it. The missile never made it beyond the demonstrator phase, though and was never officially slatted for integration on the Typhoon.

I was specifically talking about the ALARM.

So the Meteor is what will be the closest weapon against SAM we could get.

 

 

Thanks

No the Meteor is pure AA. An ARM version is not in the works.

The closest anti-SAM weapon we could get is a GPS guided bomb tbh

[Eaglewings]

Okay I get it. No dedicated weapon for SAM (SEAD) mission in the Eurofighter we would get. I would be fine with a GPS weapon.

Or (L)JDAM.

Or Brimstone.

Or maybe even Storm Shadow.

Storm Shadow would be nice, because that would mean we get a british Typhoon.
