* Su-27, MiG-29, Mig-23, Yak-141The Vympel R-27 (NATO reporting name AA-10 Alamo, Cyrillic P-27) is a medium-range air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union. It remains in service with the CIS and Russian Air Force.

The R-27 is manufactured in both IR-homing (R-27T) and semi-active radar homing (R-27R) variants, somewhat similar to the French MBDA MICA weapon. It arms the Mikoyan MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27, and some late-model MiG-23MLD aircraft were also adapted to carry it. The missile is also license produced in China, though the production license was obtained from Ukraine instead of Russia. The Chinese licensing production does not include the active radar homing version, and China developed their own version by integrating the active radar seeker of Vympel R-77 provided by Russia to the R-27 missile.
