Missile defense

Put it out of range

Once a missile launch is discovered, you can simply run away from it by placing it on your 6'o'clock / Note this only works if the missile is fired at the edge of range (known as Rmax).

Confuse the guidance

Countermeasures - is you detect a missile on RWR - its radar guided (the f-16 cannot detect passive IR launches like the A-10C). Put the missle on your beam (3/9 o'clock), punch a bunch of chaff/flares, and split-s. Every time you do this, the missile detects you Countermeasures as well as your plane and its up to the computer's interpretation of radar/IR data which one it will go for. Hopefully, not you...

Out-maneuver

Can be a last-ditch or if you carry your balls in a wheelbarrow. Once the missile is acquired visually (don't try this BVR), you once again want it on your 12-3 (or your 9-12) o'clock. as late as your dare,change plane (i.e. if its coming at you horizontally, go vertical or vice-versa). Unless its quite a new missile, it will not have enough energy to maintain the turn and will (hopefully) zoom right on by you.

Best results: do all of these ( or as many as situation dictates)

  • Overview and concept of masking and weapon envelope exit
  • Masking and weapon envelope exit defense
  • Heat seeking infrared missile concept
  • Heat seeking missile defense vs AA-11 archer
  • Defending manpads and threats below 15,000 (OCA strike)
  • Concept of ground fire

Enemy Weapons

  • AA-11 = (R-73 Archer) short range heat seeking
  • AA-12 = (R-77) long range active
  • AA-10A = (R-27R) medium range semi-active
  • AA-10B = (R-27T) medium range heat seeking
  • AA-10C = (R-27ER) long range semi-active
  • AA-10D = (R-27ET) long range heat seeking
