And then rejected without explanation

Watch it have the same range as the R-77-1 cause of the lattice fin.

Ahhhh light mode

Also what will be its carriers?

cant find anything on it for mig 29, only su-27/35 and 5th gen fighters (i would assume mig 1.42 but that obviously died)

a topic where i can talk about how much i love Sukhois, how much i would do to get one in home and how much i want to f*ck one and have thousands of baby Sukhois with one.

Hmm what about Su-37?

I think seeker and guidance are same as R-77, so everythng that carries R-77 should technically be compatible with R-77-PD

Good ehehehehehe, very good….

technically yeah but i would assume if it actually went into production it wouldve used a newer seekerhead instead of the one from the 80s that standard r-77 uses.
(secondary sources give variants of 9b1103m if it went into production)

Well, It was supposed to replace R-77 but was dropped becasue performance barely improved but missile itself required new engine production.

From what i’ve read on Agat, 9B-1103M was modernised several times troughout the years without any name change, so same seeker from different year could differ in characteristics quite substantially.

its probably talking about the different variants based off diameter

Well, 1103M-350 is used in RVV-BD, and 1103M-150 was a proposal for Fox-3 version of R-73 (shame it was dropped, we could’ve had soviet MICA).

Anyways, RVV-AE-PD was shown on MAKS-99, so if it will be implemented in-game it would have avionics of R-77
