Python Missile Mechanization/Employment, IAF F-16 variants etc.

[Bearfoot]

Hi,

Love this theater!

Can someone point out to me information on usage of the new theatre AA missiles? Mechanization/usage procedures, HUD symbology, launch parameters etc.?

Also maybe some detailed information on all the flyable F-16 variants here? Differences etc.

Thanks.

Python 4/5 are employed the same as the AIM-9X. no dedicated avionics.

It says the Python is a “lock-on after launch” missile,
is this implemented? How is it supposed to work?

Not implemented. As said, you use it as you use a 9X.
