Р-73 была выдающейся в 80х. Отличной - в 90х. Сейчас она в том виде который мы имеем , ни выдающаяся ни отличная.Сообщение от wind
Или AIM-9X только еле-еле пытается приблизиться по своим ТТХ к выдающейся советкой ракете Р-73?
А с "сетевым режимом" AIM-9X много неясностей благодаря куче журналамерских статей.

А что произошло в 90-х? По моему Р-73 является выдающейся вплоть до появления AIM-9X.
Она, как теперь выясняется, останется выдающейся и после появления AIM-9X. Сейчас разработчик ведет активную программу модернизации, чтобы в 2010 году принять модернизированный вариант на вооружение. Там будет захват цели на проходе, улучшенный движок и масса других усовершенствований. Вот источник:

In accordance with the state armament program, Vimpel design bureau is developing future models of air-to-air class missiles of small, medium and long range with gradual increase of their combat characteristics to arm the fighter of the fifth generation.
In accordance with the state armament program, Vimpel design bureau is developing future models of air-to-air class missiles of small, medium and long range with gradual increase of their combat characteristics to arm the fighter of the fifth generation. High technical characteristics of the future models will enable airplanes of the fifth generation to receive stable air superiority over JSF and F-22 airplanes. Gennady Sokolovsky, General Designer of Vimpel, says, "They are developed in the directions of use of advanced technical solutions in configuration, power plants, homing and warhead systems."
Close-range missiles
Short-range missiles R-73 (item 72) are the main weapon of short-range air combat for modern Russian fighters. This missile commissioned almost a quarter of a century ago, in 1983, was named the best in its class and served as a paragon for creation of similar weapons abroad. There are two main versions of the R-73 missile in service with the Russian Air Force and for export. This is the version with proximity radar fuse Krechet and the version with laser proximity fuse Yantar. Both versions were created back during Soviet years. Series production of the missiles was arranged at the Moscow-based Kommunar plant (now Dux). The heat-seeking self-homing head (Mayak-80 and its modifications) are produced by Arsenal in Kyiv. The missile control system (automatic pilot) for R-73 was designed by Avionika (Moscow) and solid-fuel engine RDTT-295 was developed by Iskra design bureau (Moscow). Check of the missile in the process of its operation and preparation for combat use is done at the technical position Gurt designed by Kyiv-based design bureau Luch.
After breakup of the USSR and related political problems in interaction with Ukrainian partners work on modernization of R-73 could not be done actively for many years. Despite this, at that time designers created an improved version of the missile with improved homing head Mayak-80M with the range of target designation angles increased to +/- degrees (for the series produced R-73 this range amounts to +/-45 degrees) and improved energy characteristics.
The modernized missile (item 760) should become further development of R-73 and K-74ME. This missile developed in the framework of the "second stage of modernization" of the series of missiles of R-73 series is viewed by its developers as a "weapon of equal opportunities" with foreign counterparts, namely British ASRAAM and American AIM-9X. Characteristics of the missile are increased due to its equipment with a combined control system including the heat-seeking self-homing head, inertial control system and receiver of the radio correction line, as well as improved engine with an increased thrust impulse. The transport cross section of the missile was also reduced for provision of location in internal armament bays of the carrier. The self-homing head of the modernized missile can lock on targets already after the launch in trajectory according to target designation. By the moment of the report publication the missile was on the verge of beginning flight tests. It may be commissioned in service approximately in 2010.
Simultaneously with modernization of missile series R-73 Vimpel is also working on creation of a fundamentally new light missile of close-range highly maneuverable air combat and antimissile defense (item 300). It is viewed as a weapon with technical characteristics exceeding characteristics of the foreign future missiles ASRAAM and AIM-9X.
Unlike the modernized missiles of R-73 series it is planned to equip the new missile with a matrix heat-seeking self-homing head with a possibility of target image identification and lock-on range increased 100%.
The new missile will be equipped with the two-mode solid-fuel jet engine providing for increased energy characteristics (duration of work of about 100 seconds) with adaptive warhead and three-channel gas dynamic control device (jet vanes). For the purpose of drag reduction designers plan to improve aerodynamic configuration of the missile. All these measures will allow significant increase of the launch range, provision of the mode of use in any weather, as well as the regime of antimissile defense of the carrier and improvement of jamming immunity. It is planned to accomplish work on the future close-range missile by 2013.
Middle-range missiles
Vimpel design bureau is developing air-to-air missiles of medium range along the line of consecutive modernization of the missile known as RVV-AE in the export version. Its Russian prototype (item 170) was commissioned by the Russian Air Force 12 years ago, in 1994, for arming modernized fighters of the fourth generation and other new airplanes. Despite that series production of the missile was arranged at the Russian plant, Moscow-based Dux (formerly Kommunar), financial and organization difficulties resulted in a significant slowdown of work and after breakup of the USSR, when cooperation of enterprises of Russia and Ukraine was lost the work was practically stopped. A part of manufacturers of important systems and assemblies of the missiles remained on the territory of Ukraine. Hence, there were no more or less significant supplies of these missiles to the Russian Air Force in the last few years due to absence of "imported" components and Vimpel converted a part of its experimental production facilities into series production facilities and started covering the needs for exports of RVV-AE to China and India and afterwards to other countries.
The so-called "small modernization" of the missile is currently being accomplished. The improved missile is in the final stage of the flight and designer tests and may be handed over for state trial this year. Further there will be a deeper second stage of modernization as a result of which, according to Gennady Sokolovsky, the missile will exceed the foreign counterpart AIM-120C7 according to technical characteristics and will be on par with its further modifications.
In the new version (item 180) provisions are made for use of a number of new technological solutions. First of all, aerodynamic configuration is optimized, which includes transition from grated to flat not folding elevators that provide for reduced draft of the missile. Giving up of electric steering drives with grated elevators being a kind of "earmark" of missiles of RVV-AE type is a consequence of the fact that such elevators have been developed and produced in Kyiv. According to specialists, grated elevators are also insufficiently efficient at big angles of attack.
Another peculiarity of the deep modernization of RVV-AE missiles is use of the multimode radar self-homing head with combination of active and passive homing modes. The passive mode will allow homing of the missile at sources of interference and emitting radars of enemy airplanes.
In the new missile provisions are made for use of the two-band radio correction line with a significantly increased quickness of action, prevision inertial guidance system based on a new block of sensors with laser remote control system and power source with an increased duration of work. The new two-impulse solid-fuel jet engine with a controllable pause between the impulses and increased fuel weight will be able to work for almost 100 seconds ensuring increased energy capacity for the missile. Adaptive combat load with controllable effective field will allow improvement of efficiency of target killing with bigger possible miss parameters.
В 90х (хоть это конечно растяжимое понятие) у буржуинов начался переход на новое поколение ракет воздух-воздух , наиболее интересными образцами стали AIM-120 , MICA и Питон-4.
Не нужно говорить о технических отличиях этих ракет (они очевидны) , я имею ввиду не пиписькометрию "лучше-хуже" или "а это ракета другого класса" , а боевые возможности самолета как комплекса.
Перечисленные буржуйские образцы имеют приличные возможности и в БВБ , в котором в 80х Р-73 была пожалуй лучшей ракетой.
Впрочем например МИКА и Питон-4 практически находятся в той же "весовой категории" что и Р-73 , так что замечания про "разные классы"
еще менее уместны.
Конечно давно пора модернизировать Р-73. И голову новую и двигатель и нашлемку. Сама ракета имеет хороший потенциал для модернизации.
Будем надеятся что программа будет успешной.
