R-73 archer missile question?
Found this @ http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Ai...iles/R-73.html
"An improved version, designated R-73RDM2, has an up-rated rocket motor giving twice the range and seeker sensitivity of the earlier model under typical combat conditions. It can also be fired rearward to protect the rear hemisphere of the launching aircraft. It has a 90º off-boresight capability, re-programmable digital control electronics, a better resistance to IR counter-measures and the capability to engage low-flying targets. The integrated counter-countermeasures (ICCM) combines four different techniques and has an algorithm that will allow the missile to shift its aim from the engine of a targeted aircraft to the middle of the airframe in the final milliseconds of an intercept. The R-73RDM2 has a range of 40 km and a maximum speed of Mach 4."
Is this information true? And, what's the designation of the R-73 fitted with additional rocket booster section for backward operation?
The rearward firing model of the Archer was a standard Archer. No booster could be fitted due to flight control problems. Basically a standard archer with a aerodynamic fairing over its rear to reduce drag during carriage on the aircraft. When launched backwards its thrust vector control vanes were crucial to making it work. The R-27 had also been tested as being a much larger weapon it was expected that the extra fuel on board would compensate for starting off flying backwards. However without thrust vectoring vanes as the R-27 passed through the period of zero rearward speed as it accelerated backwards it no longer had anything holding the weight of the missile body up and its nose stalled and dropped down facing the ground as its big butterfly wings had no airflow and therefore stopped stabilising the weapon. The R-73 has thrust vector control vanes that managed to keep the nose pointing at the target through the problem phase of flying at zero speed and allowed the weapon to maintain continuous lock on the target. Range was dramatically shorter as you would expect.

Airframe's Mid engine BEC
What made the F-106 Delta Dart obsolete when it was retired in the '80s? Airframe and engine, or Avionics?
It was a 50's design, only so much could be retrofitted but its main weakness was the fact that there was very little margin between its stall speed and the top tire speed making take-offs and landings very dicey: Variable geometry airframes corrected this deficiency, at the cost of weight and complexity. Also the fact that the ejection seat shot the pilot straight down when most ejections occur close to the ground was considered a bit of a drawback.
It is one of my favoritest of the Century series fighters.

Nice to see a lot of old aircraft. Was this clip made in the 80s?? I only saw one 21st century fighter …
