Yeah, the Iraqis had Caiman pods for their F1's as well as soviet SPS-141M pods IIRC, but doctrinally the Russians didn't believe in ECM for fighters so only SU-22's and maybe 23BN carried the SPS-141 that was optimized against things like the hawk. Though reputedly it worked against the AWG-9/phoenix as long range phoenix kills of bombers equipped with those pods stopped later in the war.

okopanja Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I appreciate the feedback given here, but I actually read that document, and noticed "captive carry". Anyone really knowing what is actual meant? I mean many times they mention it when limiting the scope of tests: - captive carry will not replicate missile dynamics. - not permitted with captive carry - F-14 captive carry cannot duplicate flight dynamics required for verification - F-14 dynamic and altitude limitations It sounds as if tests were conducted on some sort of scaled down substitute of AIM-54. Condition: green

Captive carry just means attached to the aircraft. If you're not going to shoot it, you can't do all those things like measure missile aerodynamics etc. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Wingmate Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 It is the same as this but would look and work like a AIM-54 https://marvineng.com/product/catm-120bc-captive-air-training-missile/ 1

So these were made for training, the above document mentioned evaluation, which is quite different purpose, and they also mention lab. Condition: green
GGTharos Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Not only training, they can contain quite a bit of instrumentation, and you can test seekers etc. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
