On the Russian version of the forums discussed downed Boeing missile air-to-air type R-27 (Su-27 or MiG-29). The version with the SA-11 improbable due to the absence of contrails and sound, which are difficult to hide, regardless of who produced the missile launch. United States promised, but did not provide the satellite picture rocket launch.



On Russian aviation forums there are about two dozen professionals. All of them laugh on the fighter and AAM theory.


R-27 (and R-73 just in case) has an expanded rod warhead.
