China Flanker Thread II

[Equation]

Ok does anyone actually have any actual source to prove that the Kh-41 was actually launched from any platform? Or any disapproval of it? Where's "Mig" when we needed him?

I think in this regard You should beter ask 'flateric' ... and as far as I remember the Kh-41 was never launched off a Flanker; all missiles shown were mock-ups.

Subject was thoroughly discussed over runet, and all pros ended a while ago after arguments by designer of Kh-41 (first with this designation, later approved for air-launched Moskit)

Ok , these are discussions from 2003 and 2001. Guy named Konstruktor claims that no aircraft carries Kh-41 operationally (that is a known fact ) and that Su-33 could carry Kh-31 and Kh-59 , but no Kh-41 .

I don't know how credible he is , but basically he confirmed that Su-33 could employ smart air-to-surface weapons . Bear in mind that loot of things happened from that time , and new weapons could be added to Su-33 inventory .

Seems that you was reading just a few lines of text from there...

.... Bear in mind that lot of things happened from that time, and new weapons could be added to Su-33 inventory .

Honestly, if You try to enter a serious battle (or here a discussion) with anyone, You should know about his background .... and here my bet would go for 'flateric' !

As such - and please don't take that as an offence - You already lost in that discussion even if I agree with You that "new weapons could HAVE been added to Su-33 inventory", but they simply were not.
