Russia's most advanced medium-range air-to--air weapon is the R-77M missile of the Su-35. Active radar homing combined with a novel dual-pulse motor technology gives this advanced missile system outstanding performance across long and short ranges. Advanced seeker head of the missile combines infrared imagery with conventional radar guidance to provide increased target identification and jamming resistance. Its creative lattice control surfaces cut radar cross-section while nevertheless offering outstanding manoeuvrability. While its innovative proximity fuze guarantees optimum effectiveness even against small targets, the multi-mode guiding system of the R-77M may engage targets executing aggressive evasive manoeuvres.
