The Tu-128P's R-4R missiles were the benchmark for Hughes to beat in a smaller airframe, initially in the XAIM-10 and eventually in the AIM-54, which the U. S. Navy flew operationally from the Grumman F-14 and the U. S. Air Force could potentially adapt for an FB-1 Delta raid-interceptor version of the B-1 Bravo bomber (twelve AIM-54's in the forward stores bay). Even with a GAU-10 in the nose, I wouldn't want an FB-1D against a gaggle of Su-37's, though.
did enyone know why most of medium air to air missiles have such large fins? R-8/98, R-23, R-4, R-40 even the R-27 have large enough fins, what the advantage of that? becouse they have disandvantage of taking large space and could be caried only on the wings, reducing the total amount of missiles the aircraft can carry
maybe the reason why medium-long range missiles has large fins is because of aerodynamic efficiency. Larger fins also means larger aerodynamic surface area, thus have lower wing loading (the ratio of weight per surface area), lower wing loading increase the lift force given by the fins, so less thrust is required to maintain lift for level flight and higher thrust is available to use for forward motion so it will increase the missile range. sorry my english is not good ..
@ekanzoy i was thinking the same thing, but larger fins had larger drag when the missile was turning in high G and it would have significant speed reduction when sustained turn rates, wile it would be probably better in instantainius turn rates. that probably give us the conclusion that was mostly was vs not very agile targets, and the majority of those missiles was large missiles with large warheads. only last gen russian missiles have smal fins so they must be better vs fihters in agility
i agree with you about the missile agility, and its true that larger-longer range missile has lower maneuverability, but i think large fin is better in sustained turn than instantaneous turn (i read in wikipedia in article bout "wing loading"), there is another way to reduce drag but still maintain the missile agility by using Grid (lattice) fin like Russian R-77 that also can be folded to save space. i also had read that the R-77 is the best missile in term of maneuverability
@odzadze123 This is correct when not run in front of the locomotive and makes the best aircraft examining shortcomings of machines the U.S. Air Force - Russian planes sleeker, prettier .... easier and better
@DroneGearhead it was developed as heavy bomber interceptor, but from the redesigned of the bomber Tu-98 wich did not enter service in favor of the Tu-22, many medium bombers become succesfull heavy fighters

Anyway it's good video, thank you, mate!

But it's interceptor, not fighter. As a fighter it has low chances to complete the task.

The TU-128 was the biggest interceptor fighter was have made.

@lst1195 No, Tu-128 is a heavy interceptor, not a bomber. It was developed as a countermeasure for B-52.

@DroneGearhead Thanks. yeah I guess a Big Fighter would be the answer to a big Bomber. makes sense, you need the range of the Bomber AND the speed.

In my Videos i Put music only in videos,
containing
already contaminated sections
with some Creepy music or narator voices in incomprehensible languages.
Where i have a video
with pure engine sound... then I took care to remain so :)

Yeah, it would spoil your extraordinary videos by underlying them with fake engine noise!
