* {{Specs-Link|mig_29smt_9_19}}
* {{Specs-Link|su_27sm}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the missile.''

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

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

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

=== Pros and cons ===

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: 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. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==
''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
* ''topic on the official game forum;''

 As one of the new ARH AAM introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"|"Seek & Destroy"]] for VVS and PLAAF for their Flankers/Fulcrum series, although it might not have the range of some of its counterparts, its extremely high overload turns it into an active seeker "dogfight" missile thanks to its unique tail design.

-''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of missile (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''
+Having a warhead at 15.56 kg TNTe, it has some of the highest explosive content among ARH AAMs of its tier and the proximity fuse will make sure enemy jets will face the most miserable end once being hit within the radius.

 == Usage in battles ==
-''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''
+By the era of BVR combats, the main thumb of rule for all ARH AAMs is: higher the carrier speed, the longer radius and higher the speed. Considering that jets have to utilize altitude advantage to gain farther range, players will also have to be expect enemy jets doing so; be sure to guide the missile as close as it could before the missile active seeker itself activates - but the problem is, due to the unique design with grid fins at very high drag, this in fact limits the overall range of R-77 at non-ideal scenario, the velocity drops at much higher rates than other ARH AAMs. But considering that it has rather high overload in this case, players can use it as a supersize "dogfight" AAM especially within 10 km radius, this also means the missile seeker would already been activated at this range; this tactics also rely on the carrier's radar performance - for example, while Su-27SM can guide 6 missiles, PLAAF's J-11A would only guide one at a time, and the inferior radar performance for its carriers do affect how they lock onto enemy targets, so players will have to be patient for the hunt down.
