The R-77 (NATO code: AA-12 Adder) is a modern Russian medium-range air-to-air missile. The first prototypes of this weapon were created in 1982, and serial production started in 1984, but the missile on a larger scale entered service only in 1994. The length of the projectile is 360 cm with a diameter of 20 centimeters. The maximum range is up to 100 kilometers, and the weight of the warhead is up to 22 kilograms. Top speed is rated at 4 Ma. The R-77 missile was developed at the Wympie³ plant as a kind of response to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, hence in Western countries it is sometimes called "AMRAAM". Its distinguishing feature is the atypical rudders located at the rear of the missile with a truss structure. There is no doubt that the R-77 is a very effective missile, equal to the performance and accuracy of its Western counterparts. In the course of production, several serial and prototype versions of this missile were created, including: R-77T (infrared guided missile), R-77-1 (version with improved aerodynamics), K-77-M (version dedicated to the Su-57 machine) . The missile can be carried by such planes as: Su-34, Su-35, Su-37 or MiG-31.

The AA-11 Archer (another name: R-73) is an air-to-air guided missile of Soviet, and now Russian, Cold War and modern times. The missile entered the line in 1984-1985. Its length is 290 cm with a diameter of 17 centimeters. The mass of the ready-to-fire projectile is approximately 105 kg, while the weight of the warhead is 7.4 kg. However, the effective range of the shot is up to 30-40 kilometers, depending on the version.

Development work on the AA-11 Archer missile began in 1973 with the goal of developing a new short-range air-to-air missile to replace the AA-8 Aphid missiles in line. Compared to its predecessor, the AA-11 Archer was significantly larger in size, but was also able to carry a warhead with a much greater mass, and had a significantly improved range of effective shot. Due to the use of gas-dynamic steering, it is considered a highly maneuverable missile, possibly exceeding the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile of earlier versions on this plane. However, just like the AA-8, it was a fully homing missile, referred to as "fire and forget". Various variants of the AA-11 Archer missile can be used on such machines as: MiG-21, MiG-29, Su-27, Su-35, but also Mi-24 or Ka-50.

The AA-10 Alamo (other names: R-27 Wympie³) is an air-to-air guided missile of Soviet, and now Russian, Cold War and modern times. The missile entered the line in 1983. The length of the projectile is 408 cm with a diameter of 23 centimeters. The mass of the ready-to-fire projectile is approx. 253 kg, while the mass of the warhead is 39 kg. However, the effective range of the shot varies depending on the version and ranges from 80 km (version R-27T) to approx. 170 km (version R-27EM)

Development works on the presented missile began in 1972, and in their course, efforts were made to create an air-to-air missile designed to destroy targets at medium and long distances, as well as to achieve the highest possible maximum speed. An unconventional bullet aerodynamic system was also used. Several versions of the R-27 missile were developed in the course of production. The first was the R-27R missile, i.e. the basic version with a semi-active radar guidance system with a range of up to 80 km (in the NATO code: Alamo-A). At the same time, a thermally guided version was created, designated R-27T (in NATO code: Alamo-B). There was also a version of the R-27P, a missile with a passive guidance warhead (NATO code: Alamo-D). Various variants of the AA-10 Alamo missile can be used on machines such as the MiG-29 or Su-27.
