It
is a duplicate of the AIM-9B “Sidewinder” missile that was fired from
a Taiwanese F-86, lodged without exploding into Chinese MiG-17. It was
immediately sent to Russia and it was copied. The outcome was the K-13. In
addition to the “IR” warhead, a further development called K-13M with
a semi-active radar homing head was developed. They both are equipped with
proximity detonation fuse. |

Tayvan F-86’sından Çin MiG-17’sine atılan ancak patmadan saplanan
AIM-9B “Sidewinder”ın kopyasıdır. Roket en seri şekilde Rusya’ya
gönderilmiş ve kopyalanmıştır. Çıkan ürüne K-13 adı verildi. Bu
“IR” başlıklı füzenin ileriki yıllarda, K-13M diye adlandırılan
yarı-aktif radar takip başlıklı modeli de yapılmıştır. Her iki
model de yaklaşım fünyeli patlatma başlığına sahiptir. |
