The Indian Air Force (IAF) has signed deals with Russia worth about USD700 million for an additional 1,000 air-to-air missiles (AAMs) to arm its fleets of MiG and Sukhoi combat aircraft.

Military sources in Moscow and New Delhi told Jane's on 30 July that the order for the AAMs, which was placed in early July, is for about 300 R-27 (AA-10 'Alamo') infrared-guided (IR) or semi-active radar-guided, medium-to-long-range missiles; 300 R-73E (AA-11 'Archer') IR-guided, short-range missiles; and 400 R-77 (AA-12 'Adder') active radar-guided, medium-range missiles.

The sources said the R-27R1/ER1 and R-27T1/ET1 variants, which are fitted with semi-active and passive infrared seekers, would arm the IAF's Sukhoi Su-30MKI and upgraded MiG-29M fighters.

Personal note: Ever notice all countries have money to buy weapons but never any money for infrastructure - streets or roads - schools or anything for the betterment of their people's?
