Usually the magic 2 has the range to hit targets at up to 2-2.5km against low supersonic jets with an aircraft launch at the same speed at ground level.
It will be slightly lower for faster target/slower launch vehicle, and higher at higher altitude .
At 2.5km if the enemy doesn’t perform maneuver you’ll reach it just fine but if he starts maneuvering the magic 2 can lose too much speed

i just noticed the air intakes get more to the side the more you go towards them first EF2000 having them below then rafaelle having them a bit to the side and then gripen having them all the way on the side

But the point was and still is that AIM-9M is a joke in that regard compared to R-27.
Not having every IR missile defeated by a single flare is going to be nice.
Ah, I remember posting chipmunk pictures on Storm Warning trailer day
