R-27ER1

Guided missiles The R-27R1, R-27ER1, R-27T1, R-27ET1 guided missiles are designed to engage aircraft and helicopters of all types, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles, day or night, in adverse weather conditions, against the earth and sea background, when the enemy employs countermeasures, counter fire or evasive maneuvers. The missiles use a configuration that is intermediate between the canard and tilt-wing configurations, with cruciform and tandem destabilizers, canards and wings. They feature the modular design architecture to accommodate a variety of seekers (semi-active radar, infrared or passive radar seekers) and propulsion systems for longer range. These are the all-aspect missiles capable of attacking targets within the seeker’s field of view and intercept air targets flying at up to 3,500 km/h. Maximum allowed vertical separation between target and launch platform is +/- 10 km. The combined use of missiles with different seeker types in the ammunition load increases the effectiveness of aircraft systems’ armament suites.

R-73E

Air-to-air missile The R-73E air-to-air missile is designed to engage air targets (fighters, bombers, military transport aircraft) in dogfight from any direction, day or night, against the earth background and in a heavy ECM environment. It is used on fighters, bombers and attack aircraft. Its high agility is achieved through the use of a unique combined gas/aerodynamic control system enabling thrust vectoring. The missile attacks a target within the off-boresight angles of ± 45˚ at line-of-sight rates of up to 60 deg/s. It is capable of intercepting targets flying at speeds up to 2,500 km/h and altitudes of 0.02 to 20 km.

RD-33

Aircraft engine and its modifications The RD-33 aircraft engine is a two-shaft turbofan engine comprising 11 modules. The engine consists of the following main parts: a 4-stage low-pressure compressor, 9-stage high-pressure compressor, annular ramjet combustor, high and low pressure turbines, supersonic variable-area nozzle and afterburner, accessory gear box, and an engine starting and control system. The engine is equipped with failure detection systems, compressor speed governor and LP turbine exit temperature limiter, surge, ice and fire detectors. In terms of the key indicators characterizing engine efficiency (thrust-rise rate with Mach number, engine weight-to-power ratio, etc), the RD-33 is among the best engines in its class. It provides rapid acceleration from idle to thrust maximum non-afterburning and afterburning settings. The RD-33 is used in a wide range of altitudes and speeds, provides stable operation under extreme conditions. Owing to its high stall margin in the presence of external disturbances (caused by weapon use, among others), the engine does not impose restrictions on piloting the aircraft, including with combat load. The modular design of the engine enables its reconditioning in the field by replacing large blocks, followed by a local repair of a unit and trouble clearing (including compressor blade replacement). The RD-33N engine versions with bottom-mounted accessory gear box have been developed for installation on foreign fighters. For a family of the MiG-35, MiG-29M/M2 multifunctional frontline fighters and MiG-29K/KUB shipborne aircraft, a new version, the RD-33MK, is available which differs from the baseline RD-33 in increased thrust and longer assigned service life, an additional contingency takeoff power setting, and improved corrosion protection of parts and components. An engine version with thrust vector control is available. The new versions of the RD-33 engines are equipped with a digital automatic control and monitoring system, as well as a power unit for aircraft accessories with dual-redundant main accessories. For engine ground service, an automated diagnostic system (based on a laptop PC) is available that makes it possible to quickly evaluate the technical condition of the engines.

RVV-AE

Air-to-air guided missile The RVV-AE medium-range air-to-air missile is designed to engage air targets (fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, helicopters, military transport aircraft and cruise missiles) from any direction, day or night, against the earth and sea background and in a heavy ECM environment. It is in use on MiG and Sukhoi aircraft. The missile can intercept targets flying at up to 3,600 km/h. Maximum allowed vertical separation between target and launch platform is ±10 km. The missile employs the normal aerodynamic configuration with electrically-driven grid control surfaces. The RVV-AE is fitted with an active radar seeker and a radio-updated inertial guidance system, which enables in-flight target lock-on (multichannel capability) and re-targeting of the missile in flight from one target to another. An active radar seeker improves autonomy of the aircraft carrier and effectively implements the fire-and-forget concept.
