the question is what is the use of R-37m if it only can get lock on tanker size target at 100km, r-77 is capable enough if you want hit
R37 is way faster, more appropriated to intercept low observable assets and AWACS, tankers, it meant for intercepting low observable assets like F-35/F-22/B-2 and B-1

R77 had poor performances for exemple in the Pakistan India skirmishes, they gone to the Israelis to get I-Derby ER missiles instead of R77 export
 
I hate to break it to you, but forget about tankers for one moment….most fighters will struggle to get a lock on another modern fighter at distance greater than 100KM-125KM.

Some of you play video games too much or still think this is the 1960’s when RCS was 30.
I think I for many times said that ibris-E can track a mig-29 size fighter at the range of 42km when it is directly in front of it
 
And what about helicopter fleet? Is it all good and nothing to add/buy/change @Hack-Hook , Iran produced Shahed-285?

What do you think if Iran was going to buy some Mi28NE and Ka-52 or some Z-19E?

you are welcome intercept f-35 and F-22 and B-2 at the range of R-37
b-1 and b-52 maybe . in fact if the enemy fighter can track you and get a lock on you at 90km , and you are in a tanker or bomber , you simply are better eject . you have no way escape r-77 .in those types of aircrafts .

if you are in an AWACS and an enemy fighter track you at 100km , no at 200km without you already informed your escort and leaving the area ways before that , you must be court martialed for being drunk and not look at what you see on your sensors

what you suggest mil-28 , ka-52. if you want to buy helicopters in size of AH-1j or the ones who play that role why bother , just buy the engine and build the rest .
don't iran already claim it produce Panha 2091 (IAIO toofan) in 2010 and in 2013 claimed and improved version called IAIO Toofan II
if you mean utility helicopters , we produce Shabaviz 2-75 which is a copy of bell 214c and Shabaviz 206-1 which is copy of bell-206 and we have Shahed-278 and Saba-248
if you want light attack helicopter we have shahed-285

so as I said it remain what type of helicopters , if its something in class of CH-47 or Mil-26 that will be a nice welcome for our army

this post may be of help

Today Saudi Arabia said they lost an F-15 due to "technical problem" in August when they intercepted 2 houthis drones

Dismissing the foreign media propaganda aimed at downplaying the quality of Iranian arms, the deputy minister said such hostile attempts have mainly focused on Iranian drones.

“The enemy had acknowledged our missile power, but it did not expect us to make fundamental progress in the drone sphere under such sanctions,” he added.
“A few years ago, when photographs of our advanced missiles and drones were released, some said that they were photoshopped. But now they’re saying ‘Iranian drones are very dangerous, why are you selling it to so and so, why are you giving it to so and so?’,” the Leader stated.

if its not flown and not tested , you think how we say its inferior to kowsar
I think it was reference to a very old post I’m assuming he clicked on the Air Force page didn’t notice the date, I’m fairly sure referencing qaher 313
