Take your PDF crap somewhere else, Sir .!I have been hearing they are missing the targets.
If you talking about R-73 then it is a Air-to-Air Missile. Most AAM (including R-73 and except the newer hit-to-kill missile developed by LM for F-35)) feature proximity fuse.
So what is a proximity fuse ?
A proximity fuze is a fuze that detonates an explosive device automatically when the distance to the target becomes smaller than a predetermined value.
So a AAM like R-73 need not hit the ----ing target to score a ----ing kill.
