RVV-MD

All Soviet-Russian-designed combat aircraft were equipped with short-range R-73 missiles, and therefore they are known to a good part of the world. At the same time, the homing heads for these SD were supplied by the Ukrainian company Arsenal.

However, within the framework of the Army-2023 forum, Vimpel presented the newest version of RVV-MD2 (export name R-73M).

This rocket marks the final break in ties between Russia and Ukraine in the field of rocket science

- it is said in the Algerian edition of MENA Defense.

As indicated, RVV-MD2 visually differs from the R-73 of the new GOS and the disappearance of 4 angle of attack sensors. At the same time, the missile, like its predecessor, is aimed at the target via a dual-band infrared channel, having a very high resistance to countermeasures. It can hit targets with an overload of 12G at speeds up to 2500 km/h.

RVV-MD2

The range of destruction has been increased to 50 km, which de facto classifies RVV-MD2 as medium-range missiles

- it is noted in the press.

The angle of its defeat is 60 °, but thanks to the control of the thrust vector, the rocket can turn 180° at launch. It has two types of proximity detector with a target – laser and Doppler.

Another innovation was the placement of RVV-MD2, developed for 5th and 6th generation aircraft, inside the fuselage. Being inside the aircraft, the rocket receives data about the target from the onboard radar, and after launch it switches to scanning by its own GPS, which was impossible on the R-73 or R-74.

RVV-MD2

Thus, the RVV-MD2 represents a complete break with its predecessor of Soviet origin and demonstrates the revival of Russian rocket engineering in the segment of the air-to-air missile system. This is a decent AIM-9X answer

The AIM-9X is a modern modification of the American SD, which also has IR guidance, increased noise immunity to heat traps, improved maneuverability due to thrust vector control and integration with a helmet-mounted display.
