In my personal opinion Ks-172 Novator Missile will be an Excellent platform for shooting down big targets like AWACS, Refueling tankers , Transport Aircrafts etc. It will be very useful in shooting down Chinese AWACS and Pakistani AWACS like the SAAB-2000 Erieye.

Anyways I don't know why we didn't use this Missile on 27th February because we could have very much used it to shoot down Pakistan's SAAB-2000 Erieye AWACS which they used against India that day.
