R.511
Air-to-air missile
The R.511 was a French air-to-air missile, developed by Matra, based on their work with the Matra M.04 (R.042) and R.05. The first version of the missile, the R.510, was infra-red guided, and while accurate had very limited operating parameters.[1] The missile was superseded by the far more capable R.530 in French service, although continued to be used in training units until 1976.
