MiG-29 “9-13” Ukrainian Fighter with HARM missiles
In
the summer of 2022, the media reported cases of combat use of
air-launched AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles from Ukrainian MiG-29
fighters. Despite doubts, it turned out to be true. This was confirmed
by video footage that was later published on the Internet. Thus, the
engineers managed to solve the seemingly impossible task of integrating
the AGM-88 HARM missile into the MiG-29 avionics system, making these
fighters “Radar Hunters”.
The HARM missile, developed by Alliant
Techsystems, was adopted by the US Air Force in 1983. It can engage both
continuous and pulsed radars operating in frequency hopping modes. The
missile uses a two-channel mono-pulse homing warhead, with a 66kg high
explosive warhead. The HARM missile is in service with the military
aviation of many countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey,
Greece and the Republic of Korea.
