For once I`m actually somewhat impressed with something the airforce did,thats actually a rather neat and simple little conversion which gives the old 70s era mavericks a huge performance upgrade.
Is is fire and forget !?Looks like "one corpus fits it all" to me. Easy change of seeker, electronics, configure as you need.

and 16km put fighter in danger ...
if they put some work on it and use image processing on it , they can make it fire and forget ... the missile just have to follow the target which is going to get bigger ( even new cellphone can track target by their camera )Well, in vid it do not look like fire and forget.

and look like it can't be fire at night ...
good upgrade but is not suitable for new conflict against any armed force .... its good for border conflict with some groups .. .
There were attempts to integrate R-60s and R-27s but as far as I know never in active service.My Question regarding F14 Tomcats. What type of Armament does it support? Have the engineers added any Russian Equipment capability to it and any other Upgrades to it? Considering its The A Variant and the Basic One.
The maverick was always a fire and forget weapon,once the seeker is locked onto the target it will track it automatically.Is is fire and forget !?

It's still the same lazy airforce, tweaking their old stuff, instead of innovating new ones suited for today or future warfares. compare it with IRGC airforce, received 10 su22, and were already testing every kind and every range of stand-off munition which you would find in modern armies, (or even wouldn't in most of them), from linking to drones, to long ramge guided bombs to air launched ballistic missiles or cruise missiles with 1500km range.For once I`m actually somewhat impressed with something the airforce did,thats actually a rather neat and simple little conversion which gives the old 70s era mavericks a huge performance upgrade.
Hopefully we`ll see them do the exact same sort of upgrades to the old first gen indigenous pgms that the af developed back in the early to mid 90s,as they could certainly do with it.
I know man,its pretty depressing sometimes,but who knows...perhaps this small step of modernising the mavericks will be the start of something bigger,I mean the af did finally start to [belatedly] take advantage of the benefits of irans huge experience in drone tech,tho it then stupidly decided to waste time and effort trying to create its own af only male class drone instead of following the navy and acquiring the combat proven shahed 129.It's still the same lazy airforce, tweaking their old stuff, instead of innovating new ones suited for today or future warfares. compare it with IRGC airforce, received 10 su22, and were already testing every kind and every range of stand-off munition which you would find in modern armies, (or even wouldn't in most of them), from linking to drones, to long ramge guided bombs to air launched ballistic missiles or cruise missiles with 1500km range.
Then why is it "spiraling" in the vid although the target doesnt move?The maverick was always a fire and forget weapon,once the seeker is locked onto the target it will track it automatically.
