The developed SKB‑129, which later received the name “Malyutka,” had to implement numerous innovations to ensure that, while meeting the required combat performance, the missile’s launch weight remained within acceptable limits.
Operating the “Malyutka” required an experienced operator. In combat, the operator observes the missile’s flight and guides it (not just keeping a crosshair on the target like today, but actively controlling the missile itself using a joystick on the control panel). If the target is less than 1,000 m away, the operator aims the “Malyutka” by sight. At longer distances, an 8× optical sight is used. This is aided by the clearly visible tracer on the missile’s tail.
The system’s first major combat use was during the 1973 Arab-Israeli conflict. The “Malyutka” continues to be used in conflicts around the world to this day.

On September 16, 1975, the prototype of the E‑155MP (MiG‑31) interceptor made its first flight.
Work on creating this MiG‑31 interceptor began at the Mikoyan OKB in 1968. In 1975, the aircraft took to the skies for the first time, and in May 1981, the interceptor was officially commissioned into the Soviet Army.

1. E155MP with variable‑geometry wings.
2. E155MF – tactical bomber.
3. Variants of E155MP.

🇷🇺The Russians have patented an anti-FPV defense system called "Oduvanchik" (Dandelion).
The protection consists of flexible reinforced rods branching out into several tiers. A similar system is even being installed on civilian cars.
