Great stuff!!
Great stuff!!
I think from media reports that some versions of the missile have a mode that requires little of the sophisticated support from airplane avionics.
Probably has some of its own target sensing ability.
Certainly a great advance for the brave industrious Ukranians.
(In general they are experienced in technology, as makers of many products in USSR days and recently, from aircraft to software.
And they are motivated now.)
Military technology advances come with shelf-life limits whether you use the product or not, so long term you’re not really buying much by hoarding it. There’s also value in proving the stuff works - or doesn’t - in the real world.
In a bizarre sort of way, the Russian/Ukraine war is a great proving ground for the US military contractors. They get real-world testing of their weapons against a robust enemy without exposing American troops to harm. A relatively easy way to find out what works and what doesn’t.
It’s interesting to me to see various combinations of portable retail Garmin navigation instruments, e.g. (what I believe are) the GPSMAP 296, GPSMAP66s Handheld, and Area 660 all featured attached to the cockpit… or becoming un-attached, as the 296 fell off its mount at 0:41 into the video. 
The Russians and Chinese already have planes with digital cockpits. Nothing to give away here. The point is the analog Mig 29’s do not, but the UAF found a workaround that didn’t involve redesigning the entire cockpit.
“which is designed to home in on and take out radar-guided surface-to-air missiles” is misleading. The AGM-88 is an air to surface missile designed to suppress radar guidance at anti-air missile sites, thereby defeating radar-guided surface-to-air missiles.
Otherwise, keep up the good work…!
