Russia Upgrades R-77 and R-73 AAMs
They are better known in the west as the AA-12 Adder medium range and AA-11 Archer dogfight missiles respectively. (paid subscription required)
It looks like there will be improvements in range (about +35% for the R-77), and sensors and off bore-sight capability (R-72).
Not surprising...There is a lot of performance that can be wrung out of both missiles with technology upgrades.
