Russian AA missiles

Recommended Posts

Hello! Sorry for posting on your forum but only You can answer my questions :grin:

 

First: I found this picture -I think it's Su-15TM but I never heard that it can be armed with 4 R-60 missile on APU-60-2. Is it true and this loadout was used in line or this is only a trick in museum? (I think that this picture was taken in museum...)

And the second riddle:

 

What is R-33S missile?

 

I see it in Lindr2's "Big weapon pack". In my knowledge (since 1995 till May this year) R-33S missile was created after Adolf Tolkaczow's treason -it was in 1985 so the missile start service before 1990(?) .It was only a modification of R-33 -something like R-40RD was created after Belenko escape. It has only one differnce in external view- four small stabilizers on the nose.

 

But in May in polish magazine "Lotnictwo" I red something else: R-33S missile is a nuclear version of R-33... :blink::blink::blink::blink: How it look's? I made small mod for Krizis's R-33 model -it has four small stabilizers on the nose and the wings are moved forward:

And some intereting picture for the end: MiG-23 prototype with 4 R-23 missiles -does serial version can do this?

This ""strange"" missile seems the common R-98MT (AA-3 Anab), a standard weapon for the Su-15.

Don't panic I was so busy, sorry

 

Su-15TM - can use R-60 ,with APU-60 & APU-60-II this racks is compatible.

 

R-33S is Active Homing version of R-33, because R-33 is 'Advanced' SAHM, {MIG-31 can use 4 missiles on 4 target by fast Radar beam auto-switching one by one, it's possible with electronic scaning radar type}

 

MiG-23: not possible, it's just reclame picture, in RL mig-23 will be stopped instantly after launch fuselage mounted R-23 on this position.
