      Even better is a team with F-15s and either F-22 or F-35 ahead to provide the targeting data. Almost certainly lets them fire 200 miles from the target with a high kill probability.

    • @DeeSnow97
      @DeeSnow97 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      i think the navy just got bored waiting for the 260 tbh. the 174 is a heavy piece of kit but for anything that doesn't have to fit it into a stealth internal store, it just makes sense, and it's available today in numbers. even if we get initial operating capability for the 260 soon there's gonna be a waitlist and everyone knows the F-22 and the F-35A are the favorite children, and then and only then maybe a few F-35C. it's gonna take a while until even super hornets are armed with the new and shiny missile.
      the 174 is like the amraam's big brother: same seeker (but over twice as big in diameter, likely around 5x more sensitive), 3x the boom, and way the hell more range, in a very similar but embiggened body. as far as i know, outside of having to carry it, the most difficult part of shooting it is having a radar that can detect a bandit at a long enough range. and as a bonus, even if you crash with it or it turns out a dud, you're not giving your enemy any intel, it's an old design anyway. it's perfect for what the navy needs

      @@DeeSnow97 Actually the F-18E's are the first to get the aim-260 F-35's will get them much later in blk 4 but reality is they don't need them since the aim-120d's range is 130 miles and there's no fighter radar or AWACS that can detect an F-35 triple digit distance and if the F-35 is EW-ing now you're talking about double digits. F-35 was able to get in JDAM range of a PAC-3 radar and take it out in exercise so aim-120d is more than enough for now.

      These are better for less stealthy fighter jets(F16s, F15s, F18s) since they are more in danger when closing in enemy territory. F35s and F22s are better with AIM120Ds or meteors since they can close in on enemy targets.

    This is a great example of why the whole "4th-gen not survivable" argument is nonsense. Goes to show how it's less (but not nothing) to do with *WHAT* assets are employed, meaning it's not just simply *THAT* you have stealthy aircraft. It's *HOW* the assets you have are employed through doctrine & tactics, and how adaptations are made to maximize asset effectiveness in given situations in order to most effectively execute the mission & achieve particular goals.

    the F18E mod needs to be edited. they can not be carried in twin racks like in the video.. they should be 1 missile per high weight pylon, or 4 total.
    this is still really cool though.
    you would have alot better performance and not needed the 4th missile if you would not take such extreme HOB shots. i like to change from Left to right beaming, and take my shots as im sweeping the nose past where the bandit is. its the best of both worlds for defensive and aggressive and makes it so the missile doesnt have to waste its precious burn phase cranking 45+ deg just to line up.

    @lexwaldez 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Are those AIM-174b's more dangerous from longer distances? Allowing them to hit higher altitudes and gain more speed before diving down onto targets?

    • @resurgam_b7
      @resurgam_b7 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not really, the missiles loft like that in order to extend their range so that they have a chance to hit more distant targets, but doing so spends fuel (and thus potential speed) to fly up rather than forward and gravity won't give back that speed. Compared to the rocket motor, gravity is pretty wimpy, so they will always reach a higher speed if they can fly directly towards their target while they are under thrust. Once the motor runs out of fuel and shuts off, the gravity would be the only source of more energy for them, but since they are traveling much faster than their terminal velocity, drag will overpower gravity, even at high altitude, so even if they were flying straight down, they would still be slowing down until they reached their terminal velocity. If they are above their target when the motor shuts off, then they have a chance to use their momentum to drop down and score a hit, but once they pass below their target's altitude, it becomes very unlikely that they will be able to connect, so when a target is distant, they compromise some speed initially to get higher up so that when the motor cuts off, they can glide down onto the target, rather than using all the fuel to get up to a higher speed, and then finding themselves several thousand feet below their target when they arrive, even though they are going a bit faster.
      Think of it like throwing a rock. Your arm can only accelerate the projectile while it is in your hand so you always throw it as hard as you can. If you want to hit a target that is far away, obviously you'll have to throw at an upward angle so that the speed you give the rock can be used to travel a long distance. If your target if closer to you, you can throw directly at it so that all the speed is used to get to the target faster. If the rock/missile had infinite fuel, then being further away would be beneficial since it could then spend a longer time accelerating and would be going much faster once it arrived, so it would be much harder to dodge, but since the laws of physics don't like infinite things, being closer will always result in a more dangerous missile because the distance that the missile has to glide is less, so it will loose less speed to drag.

      @FireAngelOfLondon 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is thought by analysts to be the US Navy's answer to the growing Chinese AWACS fleet. Against an AWACS it would have a high chance of a kill even at over 250 miles range, and if launched from above 40,000ft it would very likely have a maximum range significantly longer than that. Of course like all air-to-air missiles launching it at maximum range is much less likely to get you a kill.

      They do not. SM-6IB surface-launched (w/booster) & AIM-174B air-launched (w/o booster) both are capable of ranges exceeding 250nmi. The limiting factor is the detection & tracking range of the launch asset's radar, and so the SM-6IB surface-launched variant fired from an AEGIS vessel is fully capable of accurately striking a given target from its maximum effective range, while the AIM-174B air-launched variant would require AWACS or data link in order to reach its maximum effective range with any reliable degree of accuracy. That said, actual maximum effective range is classified, but independent analyses based on publicly-available data give theoretical maximum effective range values for the AIM-174B of approximately 350nmi, and for the SM-6IB of slightly greater than 400nmi.

      @@fqeagles21 very true. R-37 is intended to take down AWACS, tankers and more "lumbering" targets of the like, while SM-6/AIM-174 is designed to hit maneuvering fighters & missiles.

      Not true, the aim-174 range is classified, but some people have speculated the missile can go farther than R-37M and PL-17. The aim-174 is not the phoenix 2, this is the return of the AAAM, but better, way better

    WHY did missiles #2 and #3 miss???

    • @JonBrase
      @JonBrase 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Same reason the enemy's missiles never hit Longshot; crank maneuvers plus range bled them of energy, and by the time they were close they didn't have enough airspeed to maneuver for the hit. Longshot's first missile barely had the speed to catch up to the target and if he'd done anything more to avoid it it almost certainly would have missed, and even the fourth missile, while it definitely had more energy, wasn't going all that fast. You try to get just close enough to your opponent to get a kill; too close and his chances of hitting you get uncomfortably high. So your missiles are likely to be working at the edge of their performance envelope unless you massively outclass your opponent in BVR and can get close enough for a shot with a near-100% PK before he's even able to fire.

      No, the AIM-174-B is entering service now with a classified maximum effective range that is almost certainly well over 200 miles in the right circumstances. Currently only the F-18-E/F can carry it. It will not be procured in large numbers and probably has as its primary use targeting enemy AWACS not fighters, as it is several times the price of an AMRAAM. Against AWACS which are not exactly manoeuvrable it is likely to have a high probability of a kill even at close to maximum range, whatever the maximum range actually is.

      @@unknowerror4348 It is an estimate based on the range and capabilities of the SM-6, upon which the AIM-174-B is based. Launched from a ship the SM-6 can strike targets over 200 miles from the ship, but the booster only carries it to 6,000ft. Launched from altitude the AIM-174-B is effectively using the F-18 as a booster but since it can be launched from a much higher altitude it _certainly_ has a longer range. How much longer is classified, but if launched from 15,000ft it would be effective at least out to 250 miles against an AWACS, which is not very manoeuvrable. That is not pure fiction, it is an entirely reasonable estimate based on the known properties of the missile when launched from a surface ship. The SM-6 can be used to shoot down cruise missiles and even air to surface missiles at considerable range if targeting data is available. The AIM-174-B will have at least the same capabilities but a significantly longer range which will depend on the launch altitude.

      Also, the 174 probably doesn't cost 5 million. It probably costs 2.5 million. if they increase the orders and produce a lot of it by sharing the production line with SM-6, the cost of both missiles will go down significantly. The SM-6 is expensive because the US doesn't order many of them.
