=== Effective damage ===
The high explosive mass usually destroys any aircraft if hit directly. It is hard to dodge as well, since it is very fast, thus the target has very little time to react.

=== Comparison with analogues ===
[[R-27R]]: "Predcessor" of the R-27ER with less range and speed.

== Usage in battles ==
Since the missile is a long-range BVR weapon, it is best used in a range of 20-50 km. Before firing the missile off, the player should also climb (to a higher altitude than the target) and exceed Mach 1, as this willprovide the missile more speed when being fired.

=== Pros and cons ===
'''Pros:'''

* '''High speed'''

* Ability to relock a target after firing and losing lock

* High overload

* Large explosive mass

*

'''Cons:'''

* Unable to be fired in TWS Radar mode
* Targeted Aircraft will have a RWR notification

*

== History ==
The '''Vympel R-27''' (NATO reporting name '''AA-10 Alamo''') is a family of air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union. It remains in service with the Russian Air Force, air forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States and air forces of many other countries as standard medium range air-to-air missile even though they have the more advanced R-77.

The R-27 is manufactured in infrared-homing (R-27T, R-27ET), semi-active-radar-homing (R-27R, R-27ER), and active-radar-homing (R-27EA) versions. R-27 family missiles are produced by both Russian and Ukrainian manufacturers. The R-27 missile is carried by the Mikoyan MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27 family fighters. The R-27 missile is also license-produced in China, though the production license was bought from Ukraine instead of Russia.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-27_(air-to-air_missile)]
