IN THE GAME from the info I have found the R-73 would use pretty much the same stats as the existing Ukraine weapon 140 9M33M3 Osa but with the max game range of 255 and a WH of 11 instead of 10 the 9M33M3 has

The Hornet project is separate from the FrankenSAM initiative, which focuses on integrating Soviet-era systems with NATO missile technologies. FrankenSAM efforts include retrofitting Buk-M1 systems with RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles and adapting Soviet radars to work with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. A third FrankenSAM system under development combines Patriot missile components with Ukrainian radar systems. Testing of this system has shown it can destroy aerial targets, and it is expected to be operational by winter. Western allies have supported Ukraine's air defense efforts, contributing systems such as Patriot and IRIS-T as part of military aid totaling over $100 billion since February 2022.
