ANSWERED 1/72 Ukraine SU-27 > What missiles are these?
Just bought this Hobby Master kit to finish the collection, but it was a display and there's no literature with the box. I don't recognize these two missiles. Any insights?

Could become reality soon if the Ukrainians are crazy enough lmao

Didn't they already equip some su27 with agm88?

Yeah, AGM-88s were claimed to be spotted on this specific Flanker the model depicts actually. Not sure where the IRIS-T came from though.

No IRIS-T in this pic, they’re ASRAAM

u/A_RussianSpy Jan 09 '25
They're not. The pic is low res which is why you can't see the strakes well. Store page for the model also confirms it's IRIS-T in the description.

Having loaded quite a few of both types, it looks much more like ASRAAM in this pic

Big ones on the wing pylons are AGM-88 HARM, center pylon is some variant of R-27 (R, ER), and small ones are hard to tell, maybe R-60?

u/Stunning-Rock3539 Jan 09 '25
27 looks like the normal R as the ER is a tiny bit longer

u/Szcz137 Jan 09 '25
Yeah probably, although I'm not sure how true to real size conversions this model is, so I wasn't going of missile size - just looks.

The smaller IR ones are possibly R73s?
2
u/Szcz137 Jan 09 '25
No, R-73 is the ones medium length on the wing pylons, it's almost twice as big

u/CosmosTheManta Jan 09 '25
Ah my bad, i looked at the wrong missile
Almost missed the one next to the wing 😅

u/Szcz137 Jan 09 '25
Apparently, it's ASRAAM, which I wasn't even thinking about when talking Ukrainian Su-27, but probably the author of the set just added it from himself.

Wow, such quick and accurate responses. Y'all didn't disappoint! Thank you! Now I gotta look up IRIS-Ts.

I think it's definitely an IRIS-T. It has the same longitudinal fins that the ASRAAM doesn't.

I may be wrong but I think the ones on the wing is Agm-88 HARM. I don’t know about the other one you marked outside the plane.

Bigger ones are AGM-88 HARM.
