Mig 35 Killer is the F-16 with air-to-air Python 5 missiles
Then what makes the Python 5 so revolutionary?
By definition, the Python 5 is considered to be a
short range air-to-air missile, yet its range exceeds
regular air-to-air missiles, and is more close to what
is technically called BVR (beyond visual range) missiles.
Those missiles can be shot upon targets which are
not visually seen at the moment of launch, and are
acquired by the missile itself during its flight path.
New technologies implemented in the Python 5 give it
maneuvering and launching skills unimaginable just
few years ago. Instead of talking about certain
?okilling hemispherê? we are talking about an ability to
shoot any target at any angle, including backwards launch (!).
This ability is possible by applying LOAL (lock on after launch)
technology. In oppose to LOBL (lock on before launch), that is
used in all short range air-to-air missiles (excluding the Python 5
of course) in LOAL mode the pilot can launch a missile
without being locked on the target, by getting the aircraft''s estimated
location from an array of sensors which are deployed on
the launching aircraft. From the moment the Python 5 is launched,
its head seeker scans the designated area constantly while it flies
in a direct path to the estimated location of the target. Once
the missile ?osees? the target, it employs its unique, first of its kind,
electro-optical head-seeker and locks on the target. Then the
missile switches to a close hunt combat which holds no future
to the target aircraft.
