Soviet Training Missiles

Recommended Posts

Do the Soviets/Russians have training versions of their AAMs for exercises and DACM?

If so, do we have any available in the weapons packs? What designations should I be looking for? 

Thanks.

In german language we called it "Schreiberrakete".

It had seeker heads and a memory device, which "wrote" all data, so that after landing could be evaluated, wheter the missile would have hit the target or not. Those "missiles" were always white and had black stripes around the body. They had never rocket engines or maneuvering fins.

This picture show a MiG-23ML with training missiles for R-23 and R-60.

BTW: Nice to see the different camo schemes of the planes. Every single fighter plane of the LSK had a unique camo.

Raven is busy with the F-4G I think ( a helluva mod), we can cross our fingers and wait Raven to see our requests and to have some time in the future to spare.

To make things easier someone can do research on topic. Pictures, dimensions that kind of stuff. Then it is much easier to any modder just to focus in 3d thing rather then diggin net sources first.

I own a book called Soviet/Russian Aircraft Weapons since World War Two by Yefim Gordon. Unfortunately does not talk about the training versions of the R23 or R24, only about the R3U.

This is a training missile for ground crews, not for air to air combat training.

I would think the 27 ad 73 are more a matter of slapping stripes on existing models:

But of course, sir - much obliged if the fancy does come upon you. Tried my hand at striping only to realize my talents are quite wanting.

tha is something i would like to ask , i have many Pictures from static Displays with this missiles and the 3 or 4 black stripes  but i assume that this are training missiles for ground Crews or simply for Display but NOT for flying , i think the actual training missiles for the aircraft did not have the wings

Nice pictures.

One remark. For training missions only one training missile (of each missile type) was loaded on the planes.

 

The designation of R-23 training missiles were, as far as i remember correctly, R-23UT for IR guided version and R-23UR for SAHM missile. But maybe i'm wrong.

With better pictures it could be difficult. It was strictly forbitten to make photos of real life missiles in the old times. I cant remember that the JG-3 in Peenemünde had made  a weapon show after the political change. So photos of this missile would be rare.

 

To the designation of the training missile. I just wrote an former MiG-23 pilot to ask him the question. Perhaps he will answer. Perhaps not. The LSK term is probably "R-23 Schreiberrakete".
