Sep 6, 2023 · AIM-9M works on rise time detection, so any flare willl be detected in WT (100% reliability) and it will shut off the seeker, even if the afterburner is hotter than the flare. Preflaring is still effective against it, as it prevents the missile seeker …

Dec 11, 2021 · Ignoring countermeasures, R-73. Involving countermeasures, AIM-9M. In my experience the AIM-9M almost always rejects flares. The R-73 tends to go for the first flare it sees.

AIM-9M vs R-73 IRCCM. AIM-9M’s tracking suspension type IRCCM can be defeated by knowing its mechanics. If the seeker spots a flare (easily doable considering it still has the large 3.6° FoV). it stops using seeker tracking and instead uses inertial tracking.

Mar 4, 2024 · Since both have been out for a while now I wanted to know what people thought was the better missile and if it was different than what people thought originally. 9M better.

Boasting one of the highest overload capacities among infrared AAMs and equipped with Infra-Red Counter-Countermeasures (IRCCM) capabilities, the R-73 instils fear and prompts second thoughts in enemy jet pilots before engaging with aircraft armed with this missile.

He ranked the R-73 above the 9M, which got a lot of Russians angry in the comments. Obviously some of them are a little more reasonable than others but… a few are actually sad. Comparing the R-73’s flare resistance to the R-60’s is WILD.

Sep 6, 2023 · How people are losing their minds about an AIM9L with at least some kind of IRCCM, when there also is an R73 in the room, that can score 180° turn kills and are almost unflarable under 1,5km. Just learn the system behind the AIM9M’s IRCCM.

Sep 6, 2023 · “Soviet bias is strongm R73 will be buffed, 9Ms will be nerfed that is widely known and expected. Just look at western tanks vs soviet tanks.” The R60 being the first missile to have its flare resistance nerfed in “Red Skies”, the soviet themed update.
