lennycutler Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I created a routine SEAD mission for the SU 25T. Targets were a M48 Chapparrel and one Hawk battery. Using the standard SEAD missiles I was routinely successful at knocking out the Hawks...but the M48 Chapparrel never provide an indication via the ETS... Is there something unique about the M48 that prevents the ETS from picking up its signal. It successfully launched its missiles....are they IR only...launched without the use of RADAR? I am using the IR Jammer to help survive.

GrimDeath Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The M48 Chapparrel fires Sidewinders, an IR missle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimDeath Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 To be extra clear, it has no Radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably want to engage them with Kh-25ML or Vikhr PGMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Alternatively, drop a TV-bomb or 29T on it's head. Superior range, Fire-and-Forget ordnance which is safer than lasing till impact, especially against SAM threats.
