R-77-1 is not 2010. It may have been tested around that time, but the R-77-1 was not in service by then. In fact, the first batch of R-77-1 orders was placed on 2015 according to these two articles. This puts it into the AIM-120D timeframe which was put into service in 2015.
This, for Russian circumstances record-breaking contract is the largest known purchase of precision-guided ammunition for the Russian Air Force, greatly exceeding the previous 2015 order for the first batch of R-77-1 missiles in the amount of 13 billion rubles (USD 172 million)
It was only with the entry into service of the R-77-1 (AA-12B, Izd. 170-1; for export RVV-SD) in about 2015 that the air force finally had an active radar-guided medium-range missile in its inventory.
2015 was the first time you saw her.However, the supply of troops began in 2010 even before the end of the tests
The LARGEST contract was signed in 2015.But not the first one
We don’t go by when the missile was first tested, because then that moves the goalpost. If we go by first tested, then I’m sure AIM-120D was tested much earlier than 2015. We go by when the missile first went into service. Yes the R-77-1 was tested before 2015. MICA EM went into service in 1996 but was tested much earlier.
It seems this is correct. First ordered in 2009, then 2012, then a much greater amount in 2015. Still, we must go by in-service year if you’re going to say Meteor was 2016 and AIM-120D was 2015.
Once again, the tests of the R-77-1 were completed in 2011.
“…Министерство обороны, не дожидаясь заключительного аккорда этих испытаний, взяв на себя ответственность и видя, что по этому изделию дела на «Вымпеле» идут успешно, заказало нам серийное изготовление изделий 170-1. По понятным причинам, не буду называть точные объёмы, скажу лишь, что договорились всё-таки о цене, обеспечивающей небольшую, но всё-таки прибыль, и производство наше загружено на все 100% только одним этим заказом. С одной стороны это — хорошо. А с другой — не очень, потому что резервных мощностей для выполнения НИОКРов у производства просто не осталось…”
Из газетной цитаты следует что первая серийная партия этих ракет была закуплена Министерством обороны России около 5 лет назад, а объем этой партии в 2010-м загрузил производственные мощности “Вымпела” на 100
Just because other countries besides Sweden are testing their Meteors and integrating it has no bearing on whether or not the missile had entered service. It is a multiple country missile, and multiple countries have different timeframes of when they are integrating it, testing it, and putting it into service. If Sweden put the Meteor into service in 2016 and Germany was still testing it in 2018, it is still a 2016 service missile.
what are the sources where the president’s acceptance into service is indicated?
Adoption can be either earlier or later.As with the Su-30SM, which began to be delivered in 2012.However, it was adopted in 2018
