how important was the R-60M in the context of the 80s cold war ?
it seems like it was available in large quantities then and mig-23 carried 4 of them at a time.
How much was it supposed to help the mig-23 in their slash and dash tactics they were supposed to have employed against modern western fighters ? ( see soviet mig-23 manual)
was its smaller maximum range a significant handicap in dogfights ? and was its lower minimum engagement range an advantage ?
