Standard Soviet doctrine is to fire missiles in pairs, one radar guided and one IR guided. This complicates the missile evasion problem for the target. | |
I suggest you fire an R-77, wait a few seconds and fire an R-73. The target a/c will attempt to evade the R-77 and probably use his afterburners to regain energy after the manoeuver, at which time an incoming R-73 should find a tasty target! | |
