| I know that western fighters usually dont have an integrated
IRST system for air to air combat (does the typhoon and rafael have one?), but most of the new external targeting pods have an air to air mode .How does those systems fare against eastern IRST systems? Is the only difference is that a targeting pod is not a part of the plane and is installed under the wing,or do dedicated IRST AtoA systems have other features,which make better for air combat engagements ? |
