Gaijin Entertainment has announced that the online military shooter game, War Thunder, will receive a major content update called "Seek & Destroy" in June. This update will introduce medium-range air-to-air missiles with active radar guidance, also known as FOX-3, to the game. These missiles can operate autonomously and do not require constant target illumination, though tracking a target in TWS mode is optimal for radio correction. The first medium-range missiles with ARH seekers in War Thunder will be the French MICA, Chinese PL-12, American AIM-120, Russian R-77, Japanese AAM-4, Israeli Derby, and South African R-Darter.

The Su-27SM, the most advanced version of the Su-27 fighter currently in the game, will be one of the carriers of the new class of missiles and will receive TV guided KAB-500Kr and a completely new, destructive one and a half ton KAB-1500Kr, the largest caliber of Russian bombs of this type in the game, as well as Kh-29TD guided missiles.

The update will also introduce Belgian and Dutch aviation to the game as a Benelux branch in the tech tree of neighboring France, increasing the variety of options for players who choose that country. The line starts with the old Gladiator Mk I and ends with the modern F-16AM Block 15 MLU.

New ground-based equipment includes a Canadian modification of the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank with additional composite armor modules, an advanced thermal imager, and the ability to install anti-cumulative screens and a masking net. Fans of naval battles will probably be interested in trying the Kondor II - a minesweeper of the GDR fleet, armed with three twin 25 mm autocannons and a FASTA 4M2 launcher with Strela-2M anti-aircraft missiles.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform, massively multiplayer military masterpiece with millions of fans worldwide, that allows players on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Mac and Linux to fight their way across air, land,
