INTA-300

INTA-300 refers to a proposed, but never implemented, Russian air-to-air missile. It was designed by the Vympel Design Bureau (also known as the Molniya Design Bureau) and intended to equip advanced Russian fighter aircraft, particularly those designed for beyond-visual-range (BVR) combat.

Details concerning its capabilities and intended targets are scarce, as the project was ultimately cancelled before reaching a mature development stage. It is generally believed that the INTA-300 was meant to be a long-range missile, possibly intended to counter airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft or aerial refueling tankers at extended distances. This aligns with Vympel's history of developing long-range air-to-air missiles.

The reason for the project's cancellation is not definitively known, but it is likely linked to budgetary constraints within the Russian military-industrial complex following the collapse of the Soviet Union and during subsequent economic downturns. Alternative, more affordable solutions might have also been pursued in its place. Due to the lack of public information, the precise specifications and characteristics of the INTA-300 remain speculative.
