Not needed strictly speaking but would be appreciated.
Could be added into the game at around 11.0 if VT-1 is removed.
(Exactly the same as the FlaRakRad)

From Missilery info

The Roland Mach 5 (RM5) missile has increased immunity to electromagnetic and infrared interference and is capable of intercepting armored helicopters, highly maneuverable support aircraft, and in some cases, RPVs, as well as cruise missiles. The RM5 missile is equipped with contact and proximity fuses and has a fragmentation warhead weighing 11 kg with heavy fragments having increased kinetic energy. The proximity fuse is adapted for firing at low altitude and is effective when operating against small-sized targets. The destructive effect of the warhead is complemented by the high kinetic energy of the missile in the event of a direct hit on the target. The RM5 has a powerful solid propellant rocket engine with an optimal (progressive) thrust profile, which makes it possible to intercept air targets at long distances and increase the likelihood of intercepting highly maneuverable targets at short range, starting from 1.5 km. The maximum flight speed is 1600 m/s, at a distance from 5 to 10 km - the average flight speed is 1000 m/s. Effective firing range - 12km, maximum range - 16km. The missile’s flight time is respectively: at a range of 8 km - 7 s, at a range of 10 km - 10 s, at a range of 12 km - 13 s. Maximum altitude reach 8000m. The missile operates under conditions of very high overloads: at a range of 8 km - 70 g, at a range of 10 km - 45 g, at a range of 12 km - 25 g.

From Forecast international

Roland RM-5. Aerospatiale, Matra, and MesserschmittBolkow-Blohm had commenced a joint development program aimed at the design and production of a hypervelocity missile as part of a wide-ranging upgrade for the Roland air defence system. Development and production of the new missile, designated Roland RM-5, was expected to cost FRF1 billion ($180 million) over the next five years. Aerospatiale and MBB invited Matra to join their team based on the market studies that Matra had undertaken in 1988 regarding the feasibility of developing/producing a hypervelocity missile.
The program’s costs were to be evenly divided among the three companies, as were the development work, production, and profits. Aerospatiale was to have acted as the general coordinator of the program, but a steering committee, comprising executives from the three partners, was to supervise the program. The partners were committed to the preliminary design phase only.
This phase continued until mid-1991, at an estimated cost of FRF150 million ($25.95 million). The next key decision, on whether to launch full-scale development, came in late 1991 when Germany and France decided not to pursue this option.
The RM-5 was to be equipped with a dual-purpose warhead that produced dense, heavy, high-kinetic
energy fragments effective against hardened targets, plus a proximity fuse for very-low-altitude firings and the destruction of small targets. In addition, the agility of the missile (70 G at 8 km) was to have allowed it to intercept fast aircraft making evasive manoeuvres at 6 G or turns at 9 G. With a maximum range of 16 km, an effective range of 12 km, and maximum altitude of 8 km, the RM-5 was to provide the ability to engage aircraft carrying stand-off missiles before these weapons could be released.
The RM-5 was intended primarily for use with the new Glaive version of the Roland fire unit, which
Aerospatiale and MBB were developing through the joint venture firm Euromissile. The Glaive fire unit
consisted of an improved sight, with a new infrared optical sensor in addition to the radar and optronic
sensors of current versions. Its development, estimated at FRF600 million ($108.5 million), was being funded by the French and Federal German governments under a 1989 joint contract. The Glaive fire unit was scheduled to enter service in 1996.

With the rise of the new generation of IR guided air to air missiles, the Aim-9L, once the best short range air to air missile, has been suddenly left to collecting dust in the storage hangars of different air forces around the world.

Interestingly, this article quotes Dr. micheal langer saying that the HFK/KV missile has a range of just around 50km.
forecast international also quotes Dr. langer on this…
perhaps a revision of my previous range estimate is in order…

EDIT:
this seems to be the initial plan however that amount of range might never have been acheived by the HFK/KV as it is largely terminal for its flight.
what could have had such a range however is the HFK/L2
