Iranian Air Force Yak-130 with R-73 under the wing.
R-73M is a short range air-to-air missile with IR homing and the range of 40 kilometers. It is essentially a dog-fight missile but also can be used against ground targets. But that's not all. In major news which are ignored (for now) is yet another egg on the face for media, this time Russian, which reported that nuclear cruiser Admiral Nakhimov will not go to sea-trials this year... well, it just did degaussing and went to sea. The plant (shipyard) and then state sea trials start. Fully modernized Nakhimov carries 80 anti-ship and ground attack missiles. Many of them 3M22 Zircon.
