Azerbaijani MiG-29 fighters to hit enemy aircraft with Israeli missiles

40

The Azerbaijani Air Force MiG-29 fighters received Israeli air-to-air missiles. According to Telegram-channel Azerbaijani Armed Forces, Baku purchased aviation I-Derby ER rockets.

The publication does not provide details of the deal, but it is reported that the missiles have already entered service with the Azerbaijani Air Force for use by MiG-29 fighters. The number of missiles delivered was also not disclosed. It is noted that the I-Derby ER missiles are a deep modernization of the Derby family of missiles produced by the Israeli defense company Rafael.



The I-Derby ER missile is a medium-range missile capable of striking targets up to 100 km away. The mass of the rocket is 118 kg, of which 23 are in the warhead. The guidance system is combined and includes a command-inertial system in the middle section and a radar homing head on the final one. Non-contact laser fuse.

The missile carriers are F-16C / D, F-5, Mirage, JAS-39 Gripen, as well as Soviet MiG-21 and MiG-29 with the reservation "at the request of the customer." The Azerbaijani Air Force is armed with up to 10 MiG-29 fighters purchased from Belarus and Ukraine. Now Azerbaijani MiG-29 fighters will hit enemy aircraft with Israeli missiles.

By the way, in 2019, the Indian Air Force intended to abandon the Russian R-77 air-to-air missile (RVV-AE) in favor of the Israeli I-Derby ER. The purchases were planned for 2021-2022. So far, there has been no official information about this.

        Why are they lagging behind, how is the R-77-1 worse than the I-Derby ER?
        The I-Derby ER missile is a medium-range missile capable of engaging targets at a distance of up to 100 km. The mass of the rocket is 118 kg, of which 23 are in the warhead. The guidance system is combined and includes a command-inertial system in the middle section and a radar homing head in the final section. Non-contact laser fuse.


        The R-77-1 missile, also known under the export name RVV-SD, is intended for medium-range air battles, when opponents cannot even see each other. With its help, you can destroy a target at a distance of up to 110 km. It is suitable for destroying aircraft, helicopters and cruise missiles, including those made using stealth technologies.


        ... Active radar homing heads for R-77 missiles of all modifications (R-77, RVV-AE, R-77-1) were developed and manufactured by the Agat Research Institute (Moscow) from the very beginning. The R-77-1 rocket (product 170-1), as a further development of the R-77, has been developed by the Vympel GosMKB (now part of the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation - KTRV) since the 1990s, the stage of State joint missile tests was formally opened in 2006, although trials were actually started only at the end of 2010. Serial production of the R-77-1 was launched by KTRV in 2013.

          They write that the competitors have a ramjet engine, and the R-77 and the rest of the Russians have a solid-fuel RD. hence, different acceleration characteristics in different parts of the flight. and range

            Only Meteor of all the missiles you listed has a ramjet. I-Derby ER pictured.



            ... Derby missiles are not in service with the Israeli Air Force (despite occasional reports on this topic), but are widely exported (see below). The Israeli Air Force prefers to buy AMRAAM ("Ashuah") on account of American military aid: AIM-120B (since 1998) and AIM-120C (since about 2003). Firing range AMRAAM (Israel versions): 75 km for the AIM-120B, 105 km for the AIM-120C-5 and 120 km for the AIM-120C-7.

            In 2015, an upgraded version of I-Derby (Improved Derby) was demonstrated at Aero India 2015 (Bangalore, India), and in the same year I-Derby ER (Extended Range) was presented at the Le Bourget air show. And 2 days ago, 02.04.19/XNUMX/XNUMX, the site ynet reported that during the last year the development of I-Derby ER, the rocket is fully operational.

            "Derby" is built according to the "duck" scheme, i.e. steering surfaces (4) at the front, small stabilizers (4) at the rear. The radar and electronics of the guidance system are in the front of the rocket, the warhead is in the middle, the engine is in the back. Single-pulse solid rocket motor.

            https://grimnir74.livejournal.com/11498623.html


            Oleg Granovsky describes this weapon as follows:
            The I-Derby ER uses a new dual-pulse solid rocket motor. The first activation of the engine accelerates the rocket at launch, the second occurs near the target. In addition, in this version, the fuse is built into the guidance system, which made it possible to reduce the size of the electronics unit and increase the length of the engine without changing the dimensions of the rocket and without increasing the weight (or even with some weight reduction). There is a data link to the rocket for reorienting the rocket after launch. Used so-called. Rafael Global Link, but it is also possible to integrate systems offered by customers. By the way, I-Derby ER can be used in the SPYDER air defense system, both in the short-range Spyder-SR version and in the medium Spyder-MR, using the existing TPK version of the Spyder-SR [

                Not like a ramjet.


                However, China has also developed the PL-15 missile, which reportedly has the same - or even greater - range as the newest American AIM-120D missile, designed to engage targets out of sight. The PL-15 rocket also has a two-pulse engine that allows it to switch to a second, more lethal speed when approaching a target.

    Israeli high-tech weapons in the post-Soviet space provoke military conflicts, wars and, in the end, we have the destruction of civilians, devastation where there are hostilities, refugees, orphans and disabled people. So it was in Georgia-Ossetia, Armenia-Azeibarjan, Ukraine-Donbass, I think I have not listed everything yet. It gives the false belief that a country with such weapons is militarily stronger and can arrogate to itself the right to resolve disputed issues on its own, regardless of the opinion of its neighbor or ignoring it in its favor as it pleases .. A somewhat disgusting smell from such a state of affairs and the attitude of the Jewish masters to other national entities and their aspirations. Money doesn't smell. And modern weapons are more expensive than any kind of goods, peaceful goods. Antirespect to this type of activity of the Jewish state.

        By the way, the Azerbaijani Mi-24G Super Hind was also upgraded there. Do you understand what I'm talking about)

      This "coalition" is the surface part. Underwater - Anglo-Saxons with Israel against Iran. It is not for nothing that Turkey and Israel have settled in Azeybarjan, this will be the main staging area for an air strike on Iran from the north, and an aircraft carrier from the south. Israel sleeps and sees how to deal with Iran. Azeybarjan has already agreed to use his airfields. Israel holds large training camps and exercises for reservists. Possibly flare up immediately
      two bonfires to blur the world's attention. One in Donbass, the second in Iran. I would not be surprised if Israel uses low-yield nuclear bombs. The world is already trained not to condemn Israel.

    Attention, Moders, or those who publish such news - No Derby rocket has been purchased by our country, and at the moment there are not even plans!
    The VK and Telegram channel Azerbaijan Armed Forces is not bad, but there is one specific rural administrator who is very fond of fantasizing and deceiving exactly about the supposedly new acquired weapons by our country!
    Recently, he posts that Arrow 3 was allegedly delivered to us (this high-altitude interceptor may not have been finally adopted even by Israel itself, it is being developed by Israel together with Boeing), but we definitely did not receive this! Also, this admin of the public about the UAV Mini Harpy fantasized the same thing, like, according to his secret data, they were already delivered to Azerbaijan!
    And now, having learned about such a new rocket as İ-Derby ER, he immediately made a post, allegedly Azerbaijan bought them, and they are already in Azerbaijan.
    I recommend that the administration stop publishing news from anywhere.
    As for Derby missiles from us (Azerbaijan), I can give a head for dissection, nothing of the kind was delivered to us, even the purchase of these missiles is not on the agenda now, and we have not even had any interest in these missiles!

    Ours will soon purchase new fighters (the Air Force commander said that soon the public will probably notify about this deal) only then can we think about new missiles for them, and it may well be Israeli or other modern air-to-air missiles.
    I repeat, about these Derby missiles - nowhere in the entire projection of the Internet, there is not a word about their purchase by Azerbaijan. These are the fantasies of a particular public admin. This is 1000%. (Our MIG-29s even have old radars, everything in them is old Ukrainian, the most modern in them are French MSA helmets and BKO mascot, and that's all.)
    As for our weapons, please publish only after the official announcement. And Derby ER is a figment of the fantasy of a particular amateur.
    Sorry for the emotions, thank you for your understanding.
