Russian Su-30 began to equip the R-77-1 managed missiles: what is their danger

To spread: P-77-1 is the result of deep modernization of the previous generation of the P-77 rocket and is intended for interception of UAV in obstacles. The network appeared in the network of a multi-purpose fighter of SU-30 cm of air-space forces of Russia equipped with a medium-range "air-air" R-77-1 for interception of inconspicuous drones-Kamikadze and patrolling of air space at low altitudes. The video was posted on March 3 on Telegram.

On the frames, the Russian aircraft makes a maneuver in the air, showing its weapons, including R-77-1 rockets. Although it is unknown at what locations the maneuvers of Russian fighters occurred, it is possible that this type of weapon can be used during the Russian-Ukrainian War. This is indirectly hinted at the characteristics and capabilities of the Russian rocket.

The P-77-1 rocket is the result of a deep modernization of the previous generation of the previous generation P-77 (RVV-AE) and was developed primarily for placement on the Su-35C fighter and Su-34 bomber on the Su-35C fighter. The P-77-1 is intended for damage to air goals in difficult interference and maneuverable combat.

It is equipped with the active radar head of the self-introduction (GSN) of the X-band 9B-1103m-200Pa/PS, which allows to effectively accompany targets with a small effective scattering area (EPR). The rocket aerodynamic scheme includes lattice steering wheel, which provides high maneuverability - the angular velocity of the turn reaches 150 degrees/s. In this case, the distance of the lesion is up to 120 km, which allows Su-30cm to attack goals outside visual detection.

Also, the active GSN of ammunition, according to Russian sources, allegedly provides P-77-1 the possibility of intercepting in the anterior hemisphere of the Air-Air-20d Amraam Air-Air and Air-204 missile missiles MIM-104 Patriot complexes, although these statements are virtually not justified. In the Russian media, there was also information that the R-37M rocket (RVV-BD), designed to damage the air targets on a range of up to 300 km, can enter the Arsenal Su-30cm.

Unlike P-77-1, this rocket uses an inertial guidance system with correction from the onboard radar of the carrier, and on the final area of ​​the flight goes to an active radar GSN. RVV-BD has the ability to attack targets outside the radio horizon and is designed to destroy strategic bombers, DRLV aircraft and other high-critical objects.
