ICM 72143 1/72 Ukrainian MiG-29 9-13 Fighter with HARM Missiles 'Radar Hunter'

Radar Hunter'
MiG-29 '9-13' Ukrainian Fighter with HARM missiles

In the summer of 2022, the media reported cases of combat use of air-launched AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles from Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters. Despite doubts, it turned out to be true. This was confirmed by video footage that was later published on the Internet. Thus, the engineers managed to solve the seemingly impossible task of integrating the AGM-88 HARM missile into the MiG-29 avionics system, making these fighters 'Radar Hunters'.
The HARM missile, developed by Alliant Techsystems, was adopted by the US Air Force in 1983. It can engage both continuous and pulsed radars operating in frequency hopping modes. The missile uses a two-channel mono-pulse homing warhead, with a 66kg high explosive warhead. The HARM missile is in service with the military aviation of many countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece and the Republic of Korea.
