Short-range air-to-air missile. The development of a highly maneuverable K-73 melee airborne missile - like the development of a K- 60 rocket - started by the Molniya Design Bureau (OKB- 4 MR Binovat) according to the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers on July 26, 1974. Chief Designer - MR Bisnovat. According to the initial design, the rocket was created without taking into account the full range of the GOS and only with gas-dynamic control. I planned to use Probably a modified rocket of GOS the K-60 . After the choice of the all-perspective GOS "Mayak" of the Arsenal software development, a modern aerodynamic scheme with a change in the rocket dimensions was adopted at a meeting under the leadership of the Deputy Chief Designer of the rocket GPP Dementiev.This adjustment of the project probably took place in 1976. In 1977, after the death of MR
Since October 1978, the GOS was tested on an aircraft -flying laboratory based on the Tu- 124 - LL-124. Tests of simplified prototypes of K-73 missiles from ground-based launchers began in 1979. The work of the gas-dynamic control surfaces was tested. In the same 1979, within the framework of factory tests, 8 MiG-23ML missions (board No. 123) and three launches of K-73 missiles were performed. In 1980, for the first time, a MiG - 17 flying target was shot down from this MiG -23ML. In 1981, the third serial MiG-29 (No. 9-19) joined the tests - the MiG-21M target was shot down from it.

1981-1982 with In work on the Conditions creation of air-to-air Missiles, the which Were conducted by OKB Molniya, WAS Transferred to the Vympel OKB. Gennady Alexandrovich Sokolovsky (to 1994) was appointed Chief Designer. The missile was commissioned as R-73 by the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of June 22, 1984 and the order of the USSR Ministry of Defense No. 00113 (1984). The beginning of mass production (model P-73 MDR-1) - 1987. The model of rocket 73RMD P-2 has the ability to launch into the rear hemisphere of the carrier and can be used against air-to-air missiles. The chief designer of the rocket since 1994 - Yu.K.Zakharov.
Serial production of the R-73 missiles began in 1983 and until 1992 carried out by was the Tbilisi Aviation Plant (Tbilisi, Georgia), and at the Moscow Kommunar plant ( East - Tymchuk D.. A total of 6,000 rockets were manufactured in Tbilisi. In the 1990s, probably the production of missiles for export and, possibly, for the Russian Air Force was conducted by pilot production of the Vympel GosMDB. As of the end of the 1990s - the beginning of the 2000s, the repair and maintenance of the missiles is carried out by the 711th aircraft repair plant in the city of Borisoglebsk.
Launcher - missiles are launched from the P-72 (APU-73-1) and P- 72-1D (APU-73-1D) or P-72-1BD2 launchers. In the media of the 1990s, the Ka- 50 launcher, APU-62-1M, was also mentioned. Missiles are mounted on launchers using three tiers of yoke.
The RVV-MD rocket may be suspended under the P-72-1D (APU-73-1D) or P-72-1BD2 launchers.
Rocket R-73 :
Design - the rocket is made according to the aerodynamic "A duck" the scheme. Aerodynamic angle sensors (angle of attack and slip), destabilizers and aerodynamic control surfaces are located in the nose. In the tail - wing with ailerons. The rocket is also equipped with four- section gas-dynamic rudders.
In the technical specifications for the creation of an ultra-maneuverable rocket - with the possibility of reaching angles of attack of about 40 degrees - it was proposed to use gas -dynamic control due to the inefficiency of conventional rudders. The initial version of the rocket project did not provide for aerodynamic controls - only gas-dynamic.It was supposed to use wingless body with a tail stabilizer of 6 aerodynamic surfaces.
Has a rocket of The block composition (from the nose to the tail Quatnities):
1. of The first compartment is the GPS with the aerodynamic controls.
2. The second compartment - steering mice, autopilot and proximity fuze.
3. The third compartment is a gas generator .
4. The fourth compartment is a combat unit with internal PIM.
Fifth compartment 5. - Propellant solid rocket motor rocket
of The rocket old body is made of aluminum Alloys has, the solid rocket motor old body is steel. The connections of the compartments are bayonet, the connections of the extreme compartments are flanged. The fully assembled rocket is delivered to the troops in a germcoat and a wooden closure.

Steering machines work on the working body, which is produced by a solid gas generator. The working body enters the tail section through a special channel located outside the rocket body.

Guidance system and the Control - the missile control system includes an autopilot with roll Stabilization and an IK profile of GOS. The roll stabilization is carried out by mechanically connected ailerons.
At the stage of preliminary design of the K- 73 rocket, the use of the full- range IR GOS was not expected. The development of the GOS was carried out by the Kiev software company Arsenal (chief designer - AV Molody) on a competitive basis with the NPO Geofizika (Moscow). The Arsenal software was developed as a compact and all-view GSN Mayak / OGS MK- 80 (RMD-2). The Mayak also implemented new effective measures to combat natural and man-made interference. Along with the appropriate selection of the sensitivity range of the photodetector, a pulse-time modulation of the signal was used in the GOS equipment, a digital signal processing unit was introduced with several independent channels.Improve efficiency by the To Hitting the more vulnerable and by important elements of the target, aiming AT Been a point has an applied, Shifted forward relative is to the nozzle of the engine of the aircraft's target. The original version of the K-73 missile was redesigned for this hsn.
The homing head of the RMD-2 missile has increased noise immunity against IR countermeasures and is built on a digital element base, which makes it easy to reprogram tracking and interception algorithms. Improved ability to attack low-flying targets . It is with the RD-73 RMD-2 rocket that a maneuver is possible with launching a rocket into the rear hemisphere of the carrier and it is possible to attack enemy air-to-air missiles.
On the MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft, the missiles can be used together with the slit of the target designation system, the Schel, which significantly increases the combat capabilities of the fighter.
In the 1990s, at the arms exhibitions, Vympel Design Bureau displayed footage of K-73 missile tests with a launch backwards - in order to defend strike aircraft and bombers.

According to the data from the exhibition - rocket tests started at the end of 1994, the rocket is ready for mass production . In general, the creation of the K - 73 modification with an extended defeat zone was initiated by the decision of the military-industrial complex under the USSR Council of Ministers on February 13, 1984. Later, the work on the rocket was set by the Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on December 28, 1984 In 1988-1989. made the first 16 prototypes of new missiles.The model of the R-73 RMD-2 rocket has the ability to launch into the rear hemisphere of the carrier and can be used against air-to-air missiles.
