This is coolbert:
MiG-29 = NATO code name Fulcrum. Su-27 = NATO code name Flanker.
Confirmation. American anti-radar missiles in use Ukraine.
From theaviationist.com the story by STEFANO D'URSO August 21, 2022.
1. "Ukrainian MiG-29s [Fulcrum] Are Hunting Russian Radars With AGM-88 HARM Missiles"
"US officials confirmed that the AGM-88 has been integrated on the Fulcrum to enhance its SEAD capabilities."
"The United States announced another security assistance package to support Ukraine, worth $775 million. During the briefing with the press on August 19, 2022, to discuss the contents of the package . . . the officials confirmed that the U.S. delivered AGM-88 [High Speed Anti Radiation missiles] to Ukraine and that these are being employed by the MiG-29 Fulcrum."
SEAD = Suppression Enemy Air Defense.
But not only Fulcrum. Flanker too.
2. "Ukrainian Su-27s [Flanker] Are Now Using AGM-88 HARM Missiles Too"
By STEFANO D'URSO September 9.
"After the video of the MiG-29 Fulcrum shooting HARMs, photos now show also the Flankers flying with the American anti-radiation missiles.
"Last week we got the visual confirmation of the Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets employing US-made AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missiles. Now we have photographic evidence of the missile being employed also by the Ukrainian Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker heavy fighters."
Missiles HARM to be used against Russian air defense radars. Also can be used [?] against counter-battery radars as associated with Russian artillery targeting?
