Then explain the look-down, shoot-down radar carried in the Su-27 and followons, and the long lance they use with it. I think it's the AA-9 "Amos"/R-33/R-37 program. I only see attestation in an article about the missile that it's used with the MiG-31, but there is definitely a long-range, 160-km-plus missile used with the Sukhoi types.

I think that one, whichever it is, is the copy of the AIM-54 Phoenix. How they compromised the Phoenix, I don't know, but I remember reading that the Sov weaponeers had the benefit.
