Re: R-27 AAMWhoa! I agree with everything else above, but - 60 Hz?!? From a carrier frequency of 10 GHz? So if the target changes its closing speed by as little as, e.g. 10 km/h, the missile can't see it?!This could help explain why Russian radar AAMs never seemed to hit very much in all of human history - but I nevertheless think I simply misunderstood something. Does R-27R have a similar Doppler gate? Interesting source of information, whatever it is.
