Su-57 “Felon” Unleashes Fifth Gen Air-to-Air Missile, The RVV-MD2
In recent months, Russia has introduced more Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to its fifth-generation fighter aircraft to enable the Su-57 to truly emerge as a next-generation fighter.

(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — Despite facing strict economic sanctions from the West, it has not deterred Russia from continuing to enhance the capabilities of its fifth-generation fighter aircraft, the Su-57 “Felon.”
In recent months, Russia has introduced more Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to this fifth-generation fighter to enable the Su-57 to emerge truly as a next-generation fighter.
Recently, the aircraft manufacturer United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) stated that it is now ready to equip the Su-57 with fifth-generation short-range air-to-air guided missiles.
The revelation about the fifth-generation short-range air-to-air guided missile known as “RVV-MD2” was made by the Moscow-based company GosMKB Vympel, renowned for producing various types of guided missile systems.
The company, known for producing various types of guided missile systems, stated that the fifth-generation short-range air-to-air guided missile “RVV-MD2” is ahead by five to 10 years compared to the guided missiles used by its Western counterparts.
The RVV-MD2 missile is currently in the production stage.
The RVV-MD2 air-to-air guided missile is the latest variant of the RVV-MD guided missile and is designed to destroy airborne targets such as fighter aircraft, helicopters, bombers, and transport aircraft.
However, one of the key features of this latest air-to-air guided missile is its ability to engage airborne targets from any angle, including those behind it.
This means that even if the Su-57 launches the RVV-MD2 guided missile while being pursued by enemy aircraft, the fifth-generation guided missile has the capability to maneuver, “chase,” and target “enemy” aircraft behind it.
The capabilities of the fifth-generation air-to-air guided missile RVV-MD2 will further enhance the overall capabilities of Russia’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, the Su-57.
