A multifunctional Su-35S fighter with a combined "air-to-air" / "surface" suspension configuration has been spotted on the front. Its main armament is the R-37M guided missile, capable of intercepting targets at a speed of 6M.
The maximum overloads of the targets hit when launched from high altitudes are up to 8-10 G at a distance of up to 200-230 km and 4-6 G at a distance of 250-270 km. This is due to the intensive loss of speed due to aerodynamic drag and a large midsection, as well as limited available glider overloads.
For effective interception of air targets at medium and long ranges up to 110 km, R-77-1 air-to-air missiles with updated lattice aerodynamic rudders and more high-energy solid propellant rocket motors are used. The available overloads of these missiles are up to 40 G, while the angular turning speed is up to 150 degrees/s.
For intercepting small heat-contrast targets, including Storm Shadow, including close air combat, R-73RDM-2 air-to-air missiles with interceptor thrust vector control systems and highly sensitive medium-wave IR seekers are used, providing maneuvering with overloads of 40G+.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the unique tanker "Engineer-Admiral Kotov" was launched in Russia.
