Logan54 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 In the 9-12 combat employment book, there is a mention of the using R-60 or R-60MK missiles. From wiki: "In 1991, the Tornado aircraft of the anti-Iraqi coalition was shot down by an R-60MK missile launched from an Iraqi MiG-29 fighter jet. In 1991, the F111 aircraft was damaged by an R-60MK missile fired from an Iraqi MiG-29 fighter jet. " What is the difference compared to the R-60M? Both missiles have the same dynamics, weight, and the same IR homing head, but the MK was equipped with a non-contact radar fuse. This could allow mission creators to use early Cold War payloads with some variations, and players to get a new not usual rocket in arsenal. Also MK not add overpowered capabilities for 29. Thank you.

Thank you. R-60MK is an export missile (коммерческая) with reduced countermeasure capabilities ССМ. I don't see the point. 1

I don't see the point. Could you share the sourse pls? 60M and 60MK have same seekers and MK not reduced. On the contrary, it is better because it can shoot enemy without contact.

Thank you. We have the one with the radar fuse. R-60 has optical fuse in DCS, you can tell from the 3D model. The radar fuse is a green rectangle on both sides Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
