Sounds like six SU-33s rushed through this ground attack modernization, three single seat Mig-29Ks, and two dual seat Mig-29Ks.

A total of eleven combat aircraft.

Well...that is better than none.

But I am always clearly of aircraft having to be rushed through such an improvement for combat. Asking for mistakes, particularly when you ar wanting precision strike capabilities.

I don' t think many problems with firing of its stages, the canister serve only for the lauching separation takes place a few hundred meters from the surface
Anyway whatever reason any oberserver tell you that this missile is not reliable with probably a design problem after i don' t need going in détails.
