not planned HARMS for at least AI MiG-29s

[upyr1]

Apparently the AGM-88 has been at least tested and possibly used operationally on  MiG-29s. If this is something worked up for Ukraine last week, I could see there being no way in hell it would make it to DCS. However if the Slovakians or some other Fulcrum flying NATO member has been firing NATO standard weapons for years then it might be cool to have that in the MiG-29 module of the documents are available.

I've read that the Ukrainians didn't modify the MiG-29's due to internal space limitations and are firing the HARMS "blind" and still getting good results.

I'll see if I can find the link to the story I read.

Found it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/08/30/watch-the-ukrainian-air-force-lob-american-missiles-at-russian-radars/?sh=4759041755e5

Pre-planned with a designated launch point. Definitely not 'totally blind firing'.

No, since the Shrike looks for more emitters than the HARM will. The HARM will fly to a point and look for a narrower band.

I was talking about the general process. though the Shirkes had to be pre-tuned on the ground.
