R60M

R60M is a designation that can refer to several different entities, most notably a model of missile and a specific type of engine. The R-60M missile, also known by its NATO reporting name AA-8 Aphid, is a short-range, infrared-guided air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union. It was designed for use by fighter aircraft to engage enemy aircraft at close ranges. The missile features a relatively simple but effective homing seeker and a high-explosive warhead. It was widely exported and saw service with numerous air forces around the world.

In a different context, R60M can refer to an engine. For example, it may be a designation for a specific variant of a diesel engine, often found in industrial or marine applications. These engines are typically characterized by their robust construction and fuel efficiency. Without further context, pinpointing the exact application of "R60M" can be ambiguous. However, both the missile and engine designations represent components within their respective technological fields, contributing to the operational capabilities of aircraft or machinery.
