Rocket K-77M Class “Air – Air” SU-57 Fighter Fighter Can Provide Russia Advantage over NATO countries in air combat conditions, the American magazine Military Watch reports.
The main advantage of this weapon in the publication is its range, which is more than 190 kilometers. There is also a radar with an active phased antenna array (AFAR), located in the nose part of the rocket, providing it with high accuracy.
Military Watch is confident that K-77M “can become the most efficient range of the class” air – air “in the world”, making a competition promising American Rocket AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (Jatm).
In April, The National Interest magazine noticed that hyper-and-aged armament can provide a new level of speed and death in the SU-57 Russian fighter. The publication argued that while this aircraft receives only the rockets of the K-77M and X-74M2 “Air-air”.
