=== Effective damage ===
''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of missile (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''It is comparable to the AIM-9J but the R-30M1 has 20 seconds more guidance time''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Increased G load over the R-13M, similar to the American AIM-9J
* Increased flare resistance, increasing versatility
* Uncaged seeker allows for leading of targets
* High explosive mass, allowing for easier kills
* Long practical range (24 km)

'''Cons:'''

* Lower manoeuvrability than the R-60
* Smaller off boresight angle than R-60
* Cannot be carried on dual-ejector-racks

== History ==

If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template.

== Description ==

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a French [[Air-to-air_missiles#Semi-Active_Radar_Homing_.28SARH.29_missiles|semi-active radar-homing air-to-air missile]], it was introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]].

! colspan="2" | Missile characteristics

| '''Mass''' || 245 kg

|-
|}

=== Effective damage ===
The missile carries a 10kg warhead, meaning it can destroy any target in the fighter or the attacker role and definitely causes critical damage to heavier targets. The missile detonation is triggered by a proximity fuse (No direct hit is necessary).

=== Comparison with analogues ===


* [[Matra Super 530D]] - Successor to this variant, featuring CW signal, and better performance.

== Usage in battles ==

The 530F missile's purpose is to intercept high-altitude targets or for head-on attacks. Unfortunately, because the missile uses Pulse signal, the missile will always track any type of chaff that will be deployed. Combined with it being a SARH missile, it can be tricky to sneak up on targets. The best way to use this missile is to target aircraft that have no countermeasures, or in situations such as a head-on, launching the missile at very close range, hoping that the missile hits the target before it can react in time with its high acceleration and speed. The missile can also be used in engaging AI targets for extra points if getting both missiles off the rails are difficult against other players. Both F1C and F1CT radars are subpar and it can be tricky to use combined with the decent radars both aircraft get. The Mirage 2000C is a bit more forgiving with its better radar, but the missile will still let you down if any chaff is deployed while tracking a target.

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

* Excellent tracking
* Great manoeuvrability
* High G overload
* High flight speed

'''Cons:'''

* Will always track chaff due to its pulse signal
* Missile capabilities can be limited by radar
