 A Russian short-range air-to-air missile, the Vympel R-73 (NATO AA-11 ARCHER), The missile has cooled infrared homing and can intercept targets at altitudes between 0.02 and 20km, target g-load to 12g, and with target speeds to 2,500km/hour. It is comparable to the AIM-9X Sidewider and Israeli Python 4.[1] Innovations included extensive maneuvering improvements both aerodynamic: thrust vectoring for post launch agility, canard vanes for high turn performance; and guidance}: a seeker capable of 45 degree off boresight acquisition, and a helmet mounted sight. Continued development changed the proximity fuze mechanism from radio to laser, and widening of the off-boresight engagement range. Aircraft platforms
