I had heard Somewhere that BDL is Manufacturing R-73s under transfer of Technology here in India itself. I don't exactly recall when, maybe I might be mistaken with the ASRAAM? :crazy:

Picture of an R-73 on the Pylon of a Vietnamese SU-30/SU-27. Some basic information about the missile :-The R-73 (NATO reporting name : AA-11 Archer) is a short-range air-to-air missile developed by Vympel NPO that entered service in 1984. Wing commander Abhinandan had used an R-73 to...

Leave it. I will unnecessarily Start a long Debate. It was regards to that Missile display which Pakistan says are Missiles from the MiG-21 of Abhinandan and which didn't fire. Anyways leave it.

I have a question here with regards to R-73 Missiles of India. As we all know that India operates a large number of R-73s so is it true that R-73s are made in India by BDL (Bharat Dynamics Limited) under TOT?

See dude I need to know because I need to do some Analysis with regards to this. That is why I had asked. Anyways I will Try and Find Photos of R-73s in Service with IAF and see how many Digit serial numbers they have.

That is because I too am Curious to know about it. I want to Clearly if R-73s in Service with IAF use only 13 Digit serial number or not. I am curious.

I wanted to see the Serial numbers of R-73s in Service with IAF so see how many Digits do they have because many people in India say that India uses R-73s with only 13 Digits. Look at these Images: By the way these are Training Rounds of R-73.

Do all R-73s in Service with IAF have 13 Digit serial Numbers on Them? Or do they have 12, 13, 14 etc Digit Serial numbers? Can someone please post some pictures of R-73s in Service with IAF?

Interesting, that looks like a R-77 / RVV missile under the wing, a significant step-up from the pictures of years past during which the Sukhois on the Kaliningrad express still carried R-27s. Welcome to the age of active radar homing BVR missiles! #R77 #RVV #turpo=#säkpol

@Angel of War mate please discuss all your queries about R-77, RVV-AE etc here. Thank you

Ok....

I will provide the source a bit later. There are multiple sources which are saying that india is in a joint venture with the Russians for the Development of SFDR(Astra Mk3).

I am not sure about it actually, but I know that the Technology of the Astra Mk3 will be Based on Technology which India is developing jointly with Russia for both AAM and S2A Missile systems. I don't know more after this.

What do you mean by 'Whats their name'? Who does their refer to here? The Russians? Astra Mk3 will be based on the SFDR tech which India is developing jointly with Russia for both AAM and S2A Missile systems. It will have a range of 250+ kilometres reportedly.

The following are some R-77 variants: R-77 (RVV-AE) (izdeliye 190) this is a variant of the R-77 which is Specifically configured for Export Customers. It has a maximum range of 75+ kilometres and has a 22.5 kg warhead. - R-77PD (RVV-PD) - RVV-ZRK - K-77M (izdeliye 180) - K-77ME (izdeliye...

Yes I guess but gradually when These missiles will be phased out , they will be replaced with MBDA ASRAAM Missiles. Anyways R-73 did manage to shoot down an F16. Anyways R-73 will be in use with IAF for quite some time, maybe for more 5+ years Indian Airforce will keep using it. I wonder if we...

This here is an R-73 Air to Air Missile Training round which can be identified by the lack of fins and the black stripes painted around the missile body. Anyways now india will be replacing these Russian R-73 Missiles with newer MBDA ASRAAM Missiles.

I just realised that these red things are indeed things which are used to protect important parts of a Missile such as the Fins, the frontal come, and other important surface Controls so as to increase their shelf life. And these red things are called 'Blankings'. I believe that recently last...
