Some light details of:

"improved" KAB-1500L LGB

Kh-59MK2 turbojet long range missile with scene matching to get rid of the man-in-the-loop requirement

Kh-58UShK ARM for internal bays

The long gestating multi-seeker Kh-38 series (Kh-25 Karen/Keggler replacement)

And RVV-SD and RVV-MD "medium range" and "short range" air to air missiles being offered with the MiG-35 to India. I assume these are updated R-77 and R-73 missiles. We'll see what actually gets into service. If the T-50 flies, the Kh-38 and Kh-58 will be nice for carriage in its bays.

I found this article to be propaganda...

The Russians alway spump up the 'capabilities' of their weapons, and yet combat always shows them to fall far short of their described capabilites...

Future Russian AAM are:
R-77-1 (Izedeliye 170-1): R-77 with new seeker. Either in service, or shortly will be.

Izedeliye 180: Based n further modernised R-77. Possibly will have standard tail fins, two stage motor, warhead with adaptable fuse, 2 way datalink. Seeker might be dual PRH/TARH. Was due 2010ish.

Izedeliye 180-PD: Ramjet powered version.

Izedeliye 810: Modernised R-37/R-37M. Seems sorta strange, as Izedeliye 180-PD would have long range and would be lighter.

Izedeliye 760: Based on K-74M all digital design with new seeker

K-MD (Izedeliye 300): New design with TVC and imaging seeker.

Are there any multistaged air to air weapons with hypersonic speeds in planning?

The R-37 "Arrow" and K-172 "Anti-Awacs" (now sometimes called the K-100) are apparently still in development. Both have jettisonable boosters (at least as options), and fairly high speeds.... Mach 3.8 for the KS-172 and Mach 6 for the R-37 according to Wikipedia.

If they're ever going to equip the Flanker series or the Pak-FA is anyone's guess. If more MiG-31BMs are built it could be a carrier for the R-37 as well. Russia is having enough trouble getting out the more mundane weapons. However, I read that a new R-77 version and short range missile (R-73 version?) will be shown at MAKS 2009, August 18-23. http://www.aviasalon.com/en/ We'll see :lol:
