R-73 Missile infrared counter-countermeasures & Guidance

[0minutes]

Does anyone have any official declassified documents regarding the R-73 specific guidance, including its infrared jamming resistance?
I’ve tried reading multiple sources on the internet but they site the same few sources for their info which makes it quite limiting as it’s not as in detail and only have well known figures which is why I’m reaching out to you guys.

Thank you in advance!

Here is how r-73 uses FOV reduction, coordinate finding, trajectory selection, and amplitude selection to reject flares

Is there an English translation, please?

It shows how Soviet method of shooting flares up and forward would be more resistant to the trajectory flare rejection algorithm

quite nice, thanks for sharing mate> Where is this from?

Some Chinese magazine I think

AG to the rescue! thanks

Some Chinese magazine I think

i would wanna find it cuz i genuinely believe the r73 has some kinda irccm

It would be helpful if you would summon up the effort to use a more formal register when posting and not this kind of "teenager text-speak".

Also, not sure why you need the original Chinese publication to know if the r-73 has IRCCM when the translation provided makes it clear R-73 uses multiple forms of IRCCM.

im sorry for the lack of clarity erm most of the sources ive researched says the R-73 has the mk80 seeker head or some sources say the talk about the R-73m uses "enhanced" irccm capabilities im not sure the orginal 1980s R-73 did have irccm on a sophisticated level the most reliable info ive seen is about spectral filtering but ive seen the translation and i dont recall were it mentioned R-73 in context and sorry about the lack of professionalism in my previous reply. and if the P739 missle is infact the R-73 under a different designation im deeply sorry for my lack of understanding and appropriate research

orginal 1980s R-73 did have irccm on a sophisticated level

As overscan was trying to tell you, it’s right there translated for you. Using FOV reduction trajectory tracking amplitude tracking and seeing influence of gravity. What more proof do you need? It’s not fake. Wether advanced or simple this is extremely good and extremely high tech IRCCM for 1980s that not even US was using becuase I think even AIM-9L/M use conical scan and thus without a cross type seeker can’t track the target and hotspots and trajectory and amplitude changes the way the R-73 can.

Why would you trust something you can’t recall about spectral filtering you can’t recall when you have proof of 4 types of R-73 IRCCM here?

Everything you ask for is already here, except R739 because that’s not even a real Soviet/russian designation.
