## Air-to-Air Missiles

R-96 "AA-105 Assern"
  Standard short range missile of the CIS VVS (Voyenno Vozdushnya Sila, the Russian Air Force), R-105 "Assern" is a highly maneuverable close in AAM. The key to this is that it uses a vectored thruster to allow it all aspect capability in any engagement, up to 12 Gs. It is capable of off-axis launch, which is linked to the pilot's helmet, allowing "over the shoulder" firing, necessary for a close-in dogfight. The missile incorporates a dual seeker, with the standard infrared seeker coupled with an active radar head. This allows it to be used with the Su-56/58's rear mounted radar system.

  R-35 "AA-34 Alamo IX"
  The Vympel R-35 is a tenth generation version of the R-27 (AA-10 "Alamo"). The R-35 incorporates a better warhead, as well as a "fire-and-forget" seeker, unlike the first version, which required the launching plane to illuminate the target with it's radar. The R-35 is effective against low-flying targets, such as highly maneuverable aircraft, helicopters, as well as cruise missiles. The R-35 is very resistant to ECM jamming, and is an all weather, day or night, all-aspect missile system.

  R-99 "AA-100 Anaconda"
  A tenth generation version of the R-77 (AA-12 Adder, or "AMRAAMski"), the R-99 is a medium range missile. It can be used against highly maneuverable aircraft, cruise missiles, AAMs, strategic bombers, and helicopters (including helicopters in hover mode). It's an all-aspect missile, in all weather, at all times, day or night. The guidance system is ECM resistant, and able to track targets against ground and water clutter. The R-99 flies at Mach 4.5. Another improvement to the body was the introduction of vectored thrust engines, further enhancing the meneuverability of the missile. This modification is designed to counter maneuvering targets, or the more maneuverable aircraft being produced today.

  R-58 ("AA-20 Amos II")
  The main long range missile used by interceptors, the R-58 is a BVR missile optimized for long range combat. Although it's slimmer than the R-33E,it allows the SU-50MK/56 to carry them on the intake pylons, increasing it's capability, as well as the MIG-62PM fighter. The missile uses an active homing radar with an inertial control. The missile can see through backclutter, and other obstructions, allowing it to hit fighters as well as cruise missiles in flight.

  ## Air-to-Ground

  Kh-238 ("AS-45 Kingfisher")
  The AS-45 "Kingfisher" is a supersonic anti-ship missile. It features a quad ramjet that gives the missile an upper hand in "duelling" fights between ship CIWS defense systems. The combustion chamber ot the midflight ramjet engine houses a solid-propellant booster which, after leaving the launch rail, accelerates the missile. The minimum ignition speed of the motor is 1000 km/h, which after that, the booster is ejected from the combustion chamber of the ramjet engine. The heavily reinforced nose allows it to severely damage or destroy ships.

  Kh-145 (AS-86 "Kyra") Anti-Ship Missile
  The Zvezda Kh-145 it an anti-ship missile that flies at transonic speeds (1100 km/h). The Kh-145 has a two stage configuration: the missile is dropped from a pylon, then the wings fold out (which is designed to allow aircraft like the SU-58 to carry the missile on the intake hardpoints) and activates the small propellant motor. Then the small turbojet, which uses aviation kerosene, takes over as the sustainer motor. The Kh-145 employs a combined guidance system: during the intial part of the flight, the an internal inertial system guides the missile to a pre-programmed location, which is provided by the navigation system, Battletac, or an AWACS plane. On the terminal phase of the flight, it activates the active radar homing system. This system is designed to operate in severe ECM environments, and it flies at 3-5m depending on sea conditions. The 145 kg piercing warhead ensures reliable engagement of ships up to cruiser class.

  Kh-78 (AS-235 "Keller")
  The most commonly used tactical AGM within the Russian military, the Kh-78 is designed to be used against reinforced concrete shelters, concrete runways, major railways and highways, as well as ships (as well as surfaced submarines).

  Kh-238P (AS-45 "Kingfisher")
  An anti-radar variant of the Kh-238 anti-ship missile, the Kh-238P is desinged for anti-radar missions. Using the same body as the ASM, the Kh-238P can gain the upper hand in duels with SAM systems the Kh-238P was designed to kill. The missile uses a passive radar seeker that is capable of acting in a broad band of frequencies. The electronic equipment onboard the Kh- 238P can employ several seeker modes including automatic search and guidance modes. This incorporated a tail mounted parachute, allowing the weapon to be launched in an "indirect" mode. After launch, the missile would climb up to 30,000ft and deploy the parachute. This would hang in the air until an enemy radar was detected. Upon this, the missiles main engines fire and the weapon attacks the radar.
  During the late 20th century, a tactic was developed by simply switching off the radar, then the ARM (Anti-Radar Missile) would lose the target. However, ARM technology reduced the problem by givng the missile a "smart" capability. This "remembered" where the launcher was, so this tactic became unfeasable. The supersonic speed allows the Kh-238P to intercept SAM/AAA sites with a micro small reaction time. It also incorporates an active radar in the terminal phase of the flight, as a last mid course correction. This is very similar to the Matra BAe Dynamics "ALARM", which in gained noteriety for it's efficiency at killing targets.

  Kh-305 (AS-23 "Kelter")
  A new cruise missile, the Kh-305 (unoficially dubbed "Tomahawkski") is a terrian land-attlck missile. Using data relayed from a satellite or it's internal GPS system, with TERCOM (TERrain COntour Matching) data, it can make strikes against fixed ground targets with known coordinates.. The missile uses a small turbojet engine which gives the missile a speed of Mach 0.75-1, depending on conditions. The weapon can be carried on both the SU-56 and SU-58 Flanker variants, with the rear fins folding for launch from the intake hardpoints, and uses a special mount to allow it to be carried. Upon launch, the folding main wings flip out and the missile drops to 100 meters and the trajectory can be changed by the satellite if needed (and available).
