Why cant Pussia into SEAD?
>>64751719I misread that as Prussia in catalog and then decided fuck you, this is now a Prussian thread!
They can't in to solid state electronics and line replaceable unitsMost of it is still Soviet shit where they need to physically replace most of the seeker electronics on their anti-radar missiles to match the bandwidth of radar installations they want to target.Consequently, most of their ARMs are for attacking large strategic targets like AWACS, ships, and other long-range L and S band detection radars, rather than tactical tracking and guidance radars on SPAAs
>>64751719Becasue that requires training and technology.>>64751794Prussia (technically, as part of the German Empire) ran a more effective air campaign in WW1 than Russia does today.
>>64751719requires tech, coordination, not stealing everything in sight and effective training that aint based on surprise fag sex. only things the eastern plague is capable off is uncoordinated meat assaults to try and bury the enemy in blood, shit and piss
>>64752068This. Even in the Soviet era, it became obvious to Russia that an aggressive air campaign against a near peer was just never going to be in the cards. Its airpower stategy centered around interceptors and supersonic nuclear capable bombers -- the former to stifle American SEAD and the latter as a strategic deterrent against conflict in the first place. Instead of focusing on meeting American airpower with commensurate capabilities, Russia focused on air defenses. It's the most classical example of asymmetric warfare.
>>64752068They did have a bunch of mid-range ARMs, but they never bothered to update them after the cold war ended.This ARM capability was what made the Su-24 a real threat when it was new.
