As an experiment, but also to try something new, I decided to open a new YouTube channel in Italian. Rather than a copy-paste of the current English structure, I opted for something different: a less constructed, more open, quasi-podcast, format.
The MiG-29 9.12 is a lightweight, stupidly powerful, twin-engine fighter. Introduced in 1983, the version portrayed in DCS is its export derivative, the 9.12A. This study compares the Fulcrum’s performance with other modules of its era: F-14, F-4, Mirage F1.
Along with the few features brought by the just-released MiG-29 9.12A, there is a series of improvements to the R-27 family. This discussion is the first look at the new missiles’ capabilities.
A few months have passed since the announcement of the MiG-29 9.12A. Nevertheless, I still see frequent comments about the inutility of the Fulcrum against the upcoming F-35 and other post 2010s fighters. And every time I ask myself: why do people bother?
I decided to spend a couple of minutes to talk about the decision to move from my own voice to an AI Text-to-speech service, a couple of years ago. Back in 2023, I wrote a post explaining the reasoning behind this decision. Two years later, the situation has not improved.
Kill Boxes are not required for all air interdiction missions, but they are designed to facilitate the interdiction of mobile targets and the engagement of targets in areas where their location is imprecise or unknown.
Kill Boxes also facilitate the execution of SCAR missions, engagement of time-sensitive targets and the suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD).
