The R-77 'ADDER' - History, Design, Performance & Discussion

@k_stepanovich I would like to inquire- does the R-77 have the unique wave drag characteristic for grid fins modeled? If not, is it something we should report?

Or, we do that. Tbh, I was kind of wondering if you can just ping a developer in a thread to ask it, but if you can, then yeah, that works.

Making an inquiry and getting a dev answer on bug report gives death sentence to a report as technical moderators will state that the developer has already provided a response to the subject and veto subsequent reports.

Is it really that bad? I have heard of how the suggestion process is very dubious, but this much? Jeez… It’s really frustrating that the process for suggestions is so scuffed.

They need to decide if this is arcade fantasy or sim and spend a few years fixing the game instead of shoving in new content

Im still trying to find the Wikipedia source that he said but oh well…some of the pictures were related to the PDFs which i doubt they even opened…not mention they prob only answered that because you fowarded that…so much time passed i dont even have the sources no more (T_T)

R-77 CFD data in the works

Can someone give some more info about this ramjet R-77? Did it ever make it past mockup stage and onto an aircraft or no?

Shame, would be an interesting addition if it did.

Somehow studied this photo…
Personally, it seems to me that the new rocket is closer in scheme to the famous 3M9…

Spoiler


It is just motion blur distortion

Just to ask a question for confirmation, R-77-1 uses 9B1103M seeker whilst R-77 uses 9B1348 seeker, is that correct?

Homing head 9B-1103M-200PA | Missilery.info

That is also the one proposed for R-27EA/EM right?
and then the 350 mm version for R37.
Edit NVM not the R37. That’s for 9M38.

That page said so. Note that 9b-1103M its old. and 9b-1103m-200pa its more modern.

R-27EA - with multifunctional monopulse Doppler active radar SNS 9B-1103M (see description). Range of fire at ZPS is 130km, at PPS - 60km.

edit; yea page said 9B-1103M-350 homing head | Rocketry its for 350mm
