US Might Buy Russian Missiles

The United States plans to buy 18,000 Russian air-to-air missiles for its F-15 and F/A-18 fighters, an official from the Russian manufacturer Vympel, a partner of US aircraft maker Boeing, said on Tuesday quoted by Interfax-AVN.
According to the designer, Gennady Sokolovsky, the RVV-AE missiles will be installed on “fighters sold abroad” because US legislation does not allow imported weaponry to be installed on equipment used by the American military.

“After September 11, Boeing decided to return to projects we have discussed for several years. We will provide radars for these missiles,” said the director of the Russian agency for radio-electronic military systems, Vladimir Simonov.

The most recent Russian R-77 medium-range missiles (AA-12 “AMRAAMSKI”) is similar to and in some respects equal to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. The R-77 missile has an active radar finder and a maximim range of 90-100 kilometers (50 km more than AMRAAM) and flies at four times the speed of sound: FAS

The RVV-AE air-to-air medium-range missile is used to attack fighters and bombers during combats both in daylight and at night in difficult weather conditions.

They intercept targets flying at speeds of 3,600 kilometres (2,250 miles) per hour at an altitude between 200 metres and 25 kilometres.
