Originally a Soviet design, the '''Vympel R-60''' (NATO codename [[AA-8 APHID]]) is a short-range air-to-air missile comparable to a mid-life [[AIM-9 Sidewinder]] missile without all-aspect engagement geometry. The R-60M has an expanded range of target designation angles to +/- 20 degrees, a heavier warhead and an upgraded infrared homing head with photodetector cooling. | Originally a Soviet design, the '''Vympel R-60''' (NATO codename [[AA-8 APHID]]) is a short-range air-to-air missile comparable to a mid-life [[AIM-9 Sidewinder]] missile without all-aspect engagement geometry.
