The American publication Military Watch Magazine acknowledged that the Russian R-37M air-to-air guided missiles have proven effective in combat.
Journalists noted that despite the weight of 510 kg and the low "energy reserve", which implies the loss of flight performance at a distance of 200 - 220 km from the point of departure from the suspension, the maneuverability of the R-37M continues to remain at the proper level, ensuring the interception of targets with overloads of up to 10G.
This is quite enough to intercept maneuvering at an altitude of 7 - 5 km multi-functional F-16C/D Block 52+/60 fighters with fully loaded suspension units.
Earlier www1.ru reported that rare footage of the launch of a supersonic anti-aircraft missile "Pantsir-S1" at a UAV appeared on the Web.
