This when?

In particular, the Su-39 was supposed to conduct a full-fledged air battle, for which the R-73, R-27 and R-77 missiles were included in its arsenal of air-to-air missiles [with maximum launch ranges of 20/40, 65/80 and 80/110 km respectively.

Yes I changed my mind The Su-39 is better for me than the MiG-23ML

1. Never
2. None of those missiles will get anywhere near that range when launched from a slow lawnmower down at 1km alt. At best you’ll be looking at 4-5km for the R73 and 10-15 for the 27 and 77.

When people mention the maximum ranges, they are always from optimal conditions. It’s much simpler to state the maximum capacity of something rather than saying exact capabilities at every interval: with car engines people list the maximum horsepower, for missiles people list the optimal ranges.
