Historical Background
Modern Soviet/Russian missile technology has evolved from the late Cold War era to the present day, producing a wide range of specialized designs for air-to-air and air-to-surface roles. Missiles like the R-27 and R-77 revolutionized dogfight and beyond-visual-range capabilities, while the R-73 introduced high off-boresight engagement through advanced seeker heads. Meanwhile, ground-attack rockets like the S-24 offered a potent unguided punch, and the X-31 (Kh-31) turned into a feared anti-ship and anti-radar weapon. These missile systems have been utilized by the Soviet and later Russian Air Forces, playing significant roles in numerous conflicts and training exercises. By adding this photo-etched kit, you capture the essence of these groundbreaking designs, illustrating their remarkable engineering and technological heritage.
