Су-35С получили новые ракеты Р-74М: истребители стали ещё опаснее

Maneuverable missiles with gas-dynamic control increase the effectiveness of close air combat

A frame has appeared online directly from the cockpit of a Russian Su-35S generation "4++" aircraft. Apparently, the combat aircraft have been equipped with advanced R-74M missiles.

It is known from open sources that the missile uses a new all-aspect infrared homing head with increased noise immunity and a wider target acquisition angle (up to ±75°). The missile allows the pilot to engage targets far beyond line of sight.

The R-74M is also equipped with a gas-dynamic control system. This makes it extremely maneuverable and allows it to engage actively maneuvering targets in close combat.

Compared to its predecessor, the R-73, the maximum launch range of the R-74M has been increased to 40 km.
