synonymR37(The advanced long-range air-to-air missile developed by the Russian Triangle Banner Missile Design Bureau) generally refers to the R-37 missile
R-37 is a long-range air-to-air missile developed by Russia's Wimpel Design Bureau.The shape of the bomb is somewhat similar to that of R-33 (AA-9) "Amos", and the size is also similar. There is obviously some inheritance between the tworelationship。
A large deflector is installed in the middle of the missile body to improve the lift of the missile, and the tail fin is foldable.The missile adopts the 9B-1388 active seeker of Agate Design Bureau, which can attack a target of 5 square meters from 40 kilometers away.The production missile is likely to be equipped with the APGS-PD seeker of Agate Design Bureau.The range of this type of missile varies according to the flight profile. The range is 148 km for direct attack and 398 km for cruise gliding profile.In a test in 1994, the missile hit a target 300 kilometers away, setting a record for the attack distance of a long-range missile.The production status of this type of missile is unknown.
R-37 missile
The R-37 adopts a conventional aerodynamic layout. The position of the missile wing is relatively forward compared with that of the R-33. Its plane shape is a flat trapezoid with a large leading edge sweep angle, and the tail wing is four rectangular wings with an X-shaped configuration.This developing air-to-air missile may use active radar guidance. Its length is about 4.2 meters, its diameter is about 0.3 meters, and its maximum range exceeds 100 kilometers.
While developing the basic type of R-37 missile, Wimpel Design Bureau is also considering the "ultra long range" development type of the missile.One of its plans is to add a rocket booster with a thicker diameter on the basis of R-37.Another plan is to not only increase the booster, but also change the solid rocket motor of the basic missile to the ramjet rocket motor, so as to double the range of the missile.

R-37, a long-range air-to-air missile, was developed in the late 1980s.It does not specifically replace the R-33 missile, as is often said.Although MiG-31M fighter plane has tested this type of missile, this type of missile may be equipped with Su-35, Su-37, I.42 and other future fighters.The tasks of R-37 are different from those of R-33, mainly long-range attack intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance platforms, and information warfare/electronic warfare platforms, especially E-3 airborne early warning aircraft, E-8 joint satellite, RC-135V/W rivet, EC-130 compass call and EC-130 commando solo.
