Dias atrás alguém cá, do alto de sua sapiência, defecou pelos dedos um pouco do que estava em sua mente escrevendo: "Gripen é merda", agora me topo com essa, a ameaça que supõem os Gripens C + Meteor, segundo os russos:
Detailed analysis of the threat from the “Gripen — Meteor” tandem
For all those war-bloggers and analysts who claim there would be no threat to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) tactical aviation if the Ukrainian Air Force (VVSU) were supplied with Swedish JAS-39C/D Gripen fighters armed with MBDA Meteor missiles, we publish here important charts showing the main flight-performance parameters of the medium-range air-to-air missiles AIM-120C-5 and Meteor (the latter are integrated into the weapon systems of the JAS-39C/D).
The charts assume different launch altitudes and different speeds of the launching fighters at the moment of missile release.
Note that the presence of an integrated rocket-ramjet engine in the Meteor — with a 10:1 capability to regulate the feed of solid propellant into the combustion chamber — gives it a much longer, flexibly regulated active phase and allows it to sustain speeds of about Mach 4.2 out to 110+ km and at altitudes 20+ km from the launch point (when fired from the 10,000 m echelon). After that it enters staged ballistic deceleration, dropping to about Mach 2 at roughly 160 km. Under analogous launch conditions, the AIM-120C-5 achieves an effective range of only 65–80 km.
Therefore, under standard launch conditions the Meteor’s performance essentially matches that of the domestic R-77M. If the Meteor is launched from an altitude exceeding 13,500–15,500 m (which would require the JAS-39C pilot to perform a dynamic zoom climb), then thanks to the lower fuel consumption of the ramjet the missile’s range can increase to 230+ km, effectively reaching the performance envelope of our long-range interceptor missile — the R-37M. The onboard PS-05/A radars do not allow JAS-39C/D pilots to detect our fighters at such distances. That role could be assumed by Saab-340 AEW&C aircraft and their AESA PS-890 radars, which would provide targeting/engagement data to the active radar seekers of the Meteor.
Moreover, launches could be performed in HOJ (Home-On-Jam) mode, homing on emissions from Khibiny electronic-warfare systems.
