Fri13 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) How does the Mig-19 radar really work together with the other Mig-19s when the Mig-23MLA was the first Mig that supported all the fighters in the flight to operate their radars together without jamming each others? MiG-23MLA ("Flogger-G") The later production variant of the "ML" was redesignated the "MLA". Externally, the "MLA" was identical to "ML". Internally, the 'MLA' had an improved radar with better ECM resistance, which made co-operative group search operations possible as the radars would now not jam each other. It also had a new ASP-17ML HUD/gunsight, and the capability to fire improved Vympel R-24R/T missiles. Between 1978 and 1982, around 1,100 "ML/MLA"s were built for both the Soviet Air Force and export customers. No new-build "MLD" aircraft were delivered to the VVS, as the more advanced MiG-29 was about to enter production. Instead, all Soviet "MLD"s were former "ML/MLA" aircraft modified to "MLD" standard. Some 560 aircraft were upgraded between 1982 and 1985. As with earlier MiG-23 versions, two distinct export variants were offered. Unlike Soviet examples, these were new-build aircraft, though they lacked the aerodynamic refinements of Soviet "MLD"s; 16 examples were delivered to Bulgaria, and 50 to Syria. These were the last single-seat MiG-23 fighters made, and the last example rolled off the production line in December 1984. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-23#Variants So how is the case with Mig-19? How it can have a co-operative radar search operations when the much more advanced Mig-23 that got much later released suddenly suffered it until very last upgrade model (MLA is the last serial production, MLD is the latest variant, mainly upgraded from MLA)? So does the Mig-19 fighters jam each others when they use radars in the search mode and they are pointing their radars to same area and same targets?

AeriaGloria Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I wonder if it’s possible? Maybe no one has gotten to it yet with DCS often being focused on modern aircraft until recently. Even the MiG-21 is still early access.

OverStratos Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Wiki is wrong. Soviet fighters were able to conduct cooperative search way before the MLA was in service. In any case I will ask if there is a way to implement this in DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
