The Russian R-77 (RVV-AE) Missile (NATO reporting name: AA-12 Adder) is a medium range, air-to-air, active radar-guided missile system. It is the Russian counterpart to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM missile.

The Air Force wanted to have a missile weapon in its arsenal that was not inferior to the similar developments of the probable enemy - the US and the NATO countries.

The Vympel R-77 (NATO codename: AA-12 "Adder") is a (former Soviet) Russian, medium range, active radar guided air-to-air missile. Because it was designed as the direct counterpart to the American AIM-120 AMRAAM, it was nicknamed "Amraamski".

The Russian Vympel R-77 (foreground), also known as the AA-12 Adder, is the first active-radar guided air-to-air missile (AAM) to be fielded by the Chinese air force (PLAAF).

The Russian R-77 (NATO AA-12 Adder) is a long-range, "launch and leave" air-to-air missile (AAM) that uses active radar guidance. Its closest non-Russian counterpart is the U.S. AIM-120 AMRAAM , which is also an active-radar-seeker, beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile.

Along with developing a more capable medium-to-long range missile, Russian defence industry is trying to fill a further long-standing gap in the country’s AAM offering – a dogfight missile fitted with an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker.
