Surely the one thing all warships do when they detect an incoming missile is switch on their FCRs? Ignore the chaff, ignore the flares, just go for the radar with analtitude offset depending on the type of radar. Even build a "picture" of the ship by triangulating various emmissions in the final moments before impact?
Just thoughts. Now tell me if I'm being stupid.

mig-31 fire all 4 R-33s at a single target it will have a better chance of hitting fighter-sized targets [ like f-4 , f-16] as it will complicate the counter measures for its intended victim.

Folks, During the Falkland's War in 1982 some of the RAF Harriers were sent down south to help the RN Sea Harriers (ie the Sea Harriers could not drop laser bombs). Before they were allowed on RN carriers, the RN insisted that their pylon connections be modified to mount the RN 2 inch fold fin rocket pods. Something about the powerful radars on the RN
warships being able to set off the ...

A few of these sounded fishy (wouldn't be the first time AvWeek screwed something up). 1. Apparently the range of
PAC-3 is more like 40-60km rather than the 20kms that's been given practically since day 1. (The longer range could be because against an air-breather the PAC-3 can fly a semi-ballistic "shaped trajectory". ) 2. PAC-3 MSE's motor, in addition to being larger than the basic ...
