But regarding mixed seekers and BVR, it says the following: "A competent Flanker driver gets the first shot with three or four round salvo of long burn R-27 variants, with mixed seekers, leaving one or two remaining salvoes of BVR missiles on his rails" So, can we not rule out the possibility that it exists? The question is, is this something only used by the Russian Air Force? Or also in other countries that use the R-27 variants? For example, India? And was this possible with our FF Mig-29A? Source: https://www.ausairpower.net/APA-Rus-BVR-AAM.html#mozTocId611424 Flanker has two dedicated spots under the wings where 2 R-27T/ET missiles are usually carried (though, R/ERs can be carried there as well) and the fuselage stations can carry R/ER variants only. So, the text is not really describing a case where a mixed seeker load on the same set of pylons is possible.
