If Ukraine Had Meteor Missiles Could It Stop Russian Su-34 Glide Bombers? | DCS
Could Ukraine's future Gripen fighters armed with Meteor missiles finally end Russia's devastating glide bomb campaign? Recent reports suggest Ukraine may begin receiving JAS 39 Gripen fighters equipped with the long-range MBDA Meteor missile as early as 2027. For more than a year, Russian Su-34 strike aircraft have been launching large numbers of inexpensive but highly effective glide bombs against Ukrainian frontline positions, causing significant damage while remaining difficult to counter cost-effectively. In this DCS World simulation, we explore whether the Meteor missile's 100+ mile engagement range could allow Ukrainian Gripens to intercept Russian bombers before they release their glide bombs. But stopping the Su-34s is only part of the challenge. Russian MiG-31 interceptors and Su-35 fighters can retaliate with their own ultra-long-range R-37M missiles, creating a high-stakes beyond-visual-range (BVR) battle where both sides must balance offense, defense, and survivability. Can the Gripen-Meteor combination finally neutralize the glide bomb threat, or will Russian long-range air-to-air missiles keep the skies contested? Watch our DCS World combat simulation to find out.
