在美国对用于AIM-9x的、具有90°离轴视角的导引头进行初步试验的同时,俄罗斯的温佩尔设计局也在对AA-11的改进型进行飞行试验,改进型AA-11的导引头具有相同的离轴视角。 温佩尔设计局的总设计师Gennady A.Sokolovsky声称,具有60°离轴角的“射手”采用头盔式瞄准具已服役了10年,他不理解美国在那个时代为什么没有赶上。他又说去年在意大利AIM-9M相对AA-11的那次飞行,表明了俄罗斯导弹的绝对优势。他认为美国应让AIM-9M退役。 While the U.S. pilot for the AIM-9x with a 90 ° off-axis viewing angle was pilot tested, the Russian Wimbledon design agency is also conducting a flight test of the AA-11’s improved version. The modified AA- The seeker of 11 has the same off-axis viewing angle. Gennady A. Sokolovsky, Chief Designer of the Wimbledon Design Bureau, claimed that the “Sagittarius” with a 60 ° off-axis had been in helmet-mounted sight for 10 years and did not understand why the United States did not catch up in that era. He added that flight last year at Italy’s AIM-9M relative to the AA-11 demonstrated the absolute superiority of the Russian missiles. He believes the United States should retire AIM-9M.
