Geran + R-60 IR missile: Russia's improvised UAV interceptor still lacks a standard fit

Published

Russian military analysts have published an assessment of the Geran + R-60/60M combination, observed since late 2025 as an attempt to create an autonomous aerial intercept capability. The R-60 is a 1973-vintage short-range infrared air-to-air missile with a maximum engagement range of roughly 1.5 km at low altitude. The integration has not stabilised: the missile appears dorsally and ventrally mounted, aimed forward and rearward, and occasionally two are carried per airframe. Enlarged tail fins appear on some examples but not others. The variability suggests an ongoing field programme still seeking a reliable configuration rather than a production-standard system.
