KZ-250 Lyastovicha

The KZ-250 Lyastovicha (Swallowtail) is a Zolevskoyan beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) currently being developed by Rogol Systems Inc. The missile is designed to have a higher kill probability in the face of newer and more advanced countermeasures currently deployed currently and in the future. It is expected to replace the AIM-120C7 AMRAAM which is currently the primary BVRAAM missiles of the Republic of Zolevskoy Air Force. Initial launch platforms are expected to be the VeK-29Z7, and KmFzG-7-7 Boxfalke, but integration with other aircraft in the future is planned. The only planned users for the missile are Zolevskoy and potentially Vazandia, as no export variant has been confirmed.

Development of the KZ-250 began in 2019 in response to long range missiles and higher-tech countermeasures being developed by potential adversaries, such as Volgaria and Stasnov. The missile is planned to start flight tests in 2020 and achieve initial operational capability (IOC) by 2021. The Zolevskoyan air force plans for KZ-250 use to overtake use of the AIM-120 by 2025.
