Russian Federation Munitions

AA-16 Arbalest (R-88)

This short ranged, Infrared guided missile became the standard close range munition of the Russian Federation from the 2070's on, replacing the older AA-11 Archer/R-73 in common use since 1982. The munition was designed to be modular and easy to update, allowing it to keep pace with advances in guidance, warhead, and avionics. The final version of the munition, still in use at the start of the Great cataclysm, was still considered to be a cutting edge weapon system. The AA-16 was exported to many countries allied with the Russian Federation, and was produced under contract by India, and Knocked off by Chinese companies.

AA-30 Achilles (R-90) High Maneuverability Medium Range Air to Air Missile.

Developed to provide updated 20th century aircraft with capabilities to counter the increasingly advanced 'super-planes' and airborne battle suits of the global superpowers. Equipped with advanced maneuvering controls and jets, and an basic AI system slaved to a powerful radar targeting and tracking system, the weapon can follow a target until the target is destroyed or the weapon runs out of power. This Russian model is based on the North American Alliance's AIM-140A HMRAAM, leading to it's nickname "HMRAAM-ski" among western fighter pilots. A surface to air model of this missile, the SA-25 Genie, became a standard system in the Russian Federation military and a popular export, despite the high costs.

AA-33 Alder (R-95) High Velocity Air to Air Missile

Developed concurrently with the R-90/AA-30 Achilles, the R-95/AA-33 Adler sacrifices range and maneuverability for increased speed and payload. It was developed to counter the then experimental hypersonic bombers being developed by the NAA. It's ability to intercept conventional aircraft however saw it rushed into mass production. A Surface to Air Version of this missile, the SA-27 Gale, was equipped with a first stage solid fuel booster to accelerate the missile up to altitudes of a mile and velocities of mach 3 before the main motor fires, became a standard in the Russian Federation military, and became a common export.

Name: AA-33 Adler

Classification: Air-to-Air

Type: Medium Range Missile

Mass: 497 pounds (226kg)

Warhead: Armor Piercing

Guidance: Radar Guided

Damage: 4D6x10 M.D. x2 damage on a natural 18 or 19, x3 damage on a natural 20.

Range: 20 Miles (32km)

Speed: 5361 mph/8588.8kmh (mach 8)

M.D.C.: 10

Special: +5 to Strike

the Surface to Air Missile SA-27 and it's naval counterpart the SA-N-26 count as Long Range Missiles due to the addition of the booster, and cannot be used against aircraft closer than one mile (1.6km) from the launcher due to the need for the booster to burn out before maneuvering.

AS-27 Kraken (Kh-100) Air Launched Supersonic Anti-Ship Missile

Developed to counter advances in warship design made possible by Golden Age technology, the AS-27 Kraken combines an over-sized conventional warhead with proven guidance and drive packages. This weapon was exclusive to the Russian Federation Navy, and never officially exported. A remarkably similar weapon, the CSS-N-12/ YJ-96, was deployed by China shortly after the first Kraken's were produced, leading to accusations of industrial espionage against the Chinese government.
