Contents
Description
Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Effective damage
The R-27Ris equipped with a very powerful 24kg TNT warhead, which will almost always destroy any aircraft if hit directly.
Comparison with analogues
The R-27R is a very powerful and reliable SARH missile. It is very fast and has great maneuverability - comparable to the AIM-7F - which makes the missile very hard to dodge. But still, it is less powerful and slower then the R-27ER, and the american counterpart AIM-7M.
Usage in battles
The R-27R is best suited for high-altitude, long-range engagements and can be launched from over 20 km. Before firing the missile off, the player should climb to a higher altitude than the target and exceed Mach 1, as this will provide the missile more speed when being fired. But since the missile is slower than most of its counterparts, it is not adviseable, to use it in a head-on when engaging a MiG-29, F-16 or F-14.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Very fast
- Large warhead
- Very manuverable
- Long range
Cons:
- Slower than most counterparts
- You need to keep a radar lock on the target until the missile hits, since it's not fire-and-forget,
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
