The Raduga K-9 (NATO reporting name AA-4 ‘Awl’) was a short-range air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s. It was designed by MKB Raduga a division of aircraft maker Mikoyan-Gurevich. The K-9 was also known as the K-155 and would apparently have had the service designation R-38. It was intended to arm the Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-152A (NATO reporting name ‘Flipper’) an experimental high speed twin-engine aircraft predecessor to the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 ‘Foxbat’.
