By the mid-1950s, the Soviets rushed their first air-to-air missiles into mass production: the RS-1U (ASCC/NATO-codename ‘AA-1 Alkali’), itself a part of the Kaliningrad K-5 weapons system (still centred on the Izumrud RP-2 radar). Correspondingly, a total of 47 MiG-17PFs were re-equipped with the K-5 weapons system, including four underwing hardpoints for K-5s. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
