mrvark Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The AMK MiG-31BM comes with both R-73 (AA-11 Archer) and R-77 (AA-12 Adder) missiles for underwing ordnance. Virtually all images I've reviewed of operational aircraft show the (AIM-9 like) Archers (or their launchers), although it is clear that the (ARAAMski) Adders have at least been tested. In all cases, it appears that only one or the other type of missile is carried (all R-73s or all R-77s). My question: Can mixed loads of R-73s and R-77s be carried?

Berkut Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Just to reassure you even more; Yes, R-77-1 and R-73 together is most certainly a load that can and is being used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
