Russian long-range interceptors MiG-31BM received new weapons aviation R-74M melee missiles. The new ammunition is supplied as standard. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

The military department has begun serial purchases of R-74M short-range air combat missiles to equip MiG-31BM interceptor fighters. The new missile is capable of not only destroying enemy aircraft, but also perfectly copes with drones and cruise missiles.



The decision to equip the interceptors with new missiles, they write "News" with reference to the military, adopted as part of the expansion of the tasks set for the MiG-31, which were upgraded to the MiG-31BM version. The first MiG-31 exercises using the new missile were held in Kamchatka and were recognized as successful.

RVV-MD R-74M is a revised R-73 missile with an improved dual-band infrared homing head, the maximum range, according to information from open sources, is 40 km, the minimum range is 300 meters. The Su-30SM and Su-57 will also be supplied to service.

Earlier it was reported that the MiG-31BM will receive new capabilities and will be able to intercept missiles, including ballistic ones. As part of the upgrade, the aircraft should also receive a new multifunctional long-range intercept missile system (MFRK DP), capable of intercepting, including hypersonic weapon.

      And religion didn’t allow to upload a photo of the rocket? On many resources, photos of the P74M can be seen for a long time! !!!

      Judging by
      but also great at handling drones and cruise missiles.
      it is likely that this weapon can be used to defend against enemy long-range explosives.

            So all his life, along with long-range p-33s, he had tiny p-60s. By the way, there is also a six-barreled one, too, clearly not to shoot down warheads.

        surprise is understandable, but if, as noted by NIKNN, the R-74M hits long-range explosive missiles, then this is a necessary addition.

        Its difference from its predecessor, the R-73E missile, is the use of a new dual-band infrared seeker with a multi-element photodetector and digital signal processing, as a result of which the target acquisition range is almost doubled, target designation angles are increased by 1,3 times, and noise immunity is improved.

      Happy is he who believes in everything! ... It is easy for him to live! But what about the "doubters" ?! Here is a situation about which one can say: "You can't understand without half a liter!" ... I'll tell you more ... half a liter is not enough! I checked it myself! Here, clarify to me what is the difference and what it is: R-74M ... R-74M2 and where did the RVV go with the thermal imaging seeker? With someone who will clearly answer these questions, it will be possible to play heart-to-heart!

        The R-74M (M2) is, alas, not a newcomer now! I'd rather wait for a "product 300M" with a thermal imaging seeker and a full-fledged OVT (deflected nozzle ...)!

          74 is certainly no stranger. But in terms of energy and maneuverability, it lags behind competitors, not to say that it is critical. But the "eyes" and "brains" are yes. Last century. So I wonder if there will be enough eyes to see the flying up BB and whether there will be enough brains to visit her. R 74, when hitting an aircraft, will not be able to distinguish where the aircraft is and where the heat trap is. What makes it ineffective. But traps have not yet been set on missiles. And their engines are hotter. Under such conditions, the likelihood of defeat seems to be higher.

            Well, in the "annotation" to the R-74, if my memory serves me, it says that the 74th is capable of shooting down the RVV ...! But, perhaps, no one will remember such a case ...

              The matrix resolution is weak. P74 just sees a spot. Product 300 and the American counterpart P 74 see the target outline. Much more efficient.

            I found it. To implement covert interception, an IR search and tracking system based on the 8TP heat direction finder was installed on the interceptor. The heat direction finder is located under the nose of the fuselage. In the inoperative position, the device is retracted into a special fuselage compartment. The heat direction finder is coupled with a radar, with its help target designation is issued to missiles with IR seeker heads R-40TD and R-60. The maximum target detection range in favorable conditions with the 8TP heat direction finder is 50 km.
