many radar guided air to air missiles (amraam’s, pl12’s, r77’s) can shoot other missiles down. its not impossible, but its success rate is way too high. any 12 arh carriers (f15, 30sm’s and 10 j15t/j16)'s can just fire at an incoming front aspect and sometimes even off angles and not have to worry about it. because even if their missiles miss, they can just fire another that also has a high success rate.
the only exception is the mica em, as it was specifically designed for shooting missiles down, 112kg’s and has the seeker to track missiles accurately with a high speed gate (as the mica in mica em stands for “missile d’interception”, de combat et d’auto defense). one of the reasons it has small range is because of this.
the aim-120, r77, pl12, however, are not capable of doing this. it’s not completely outright impossible, but its chances of doing it are really, REALLY low. it should be adjusted. i’m not sure of this so correct me if i’m wrong, but i think air to air missiles gets above its speed gate entirely (incoming missile’s and the amraam’s combined speed too fast for it to consider it a target) meaning it shouldn’t be able to see it at all if the target isn’t above it.
it’s really annoying, it allows no skill whatsoever to fly straight, shoot missiles coming at you and dump your own until you die, which is what newer players that got to top tier with premiums do.

For being :
MICA stands for “Missile d’Interception, de Combat et d’Auto-défense”
and it was designed to replace both Magic-II and S.530D
not to be some kind of missile breaker.
Auto-defence here is for Mirage 2000D’s, specifically designed for ground attack
i didnt say it’s only job was shooting missiles down. you quoted the entire paragraph, asked for source and i gave you some. amraams for example are also air to air missiles, don’t have this capability. mica is an air to air missile, has this capability. i think they did at least SOME work for it to shoot missiles accurately dawg.

you said “specifically” which intend to have some “primary role of”
no, it doesn’t.
watch him say its ai its not reliable
the difference is in time :
design often differs to usage.
what are we having, ai battles? what got you so worked up over the fact that mica can shoot other missiles down lol.
specifically also strictly doesn’t mean the only thing it can do is that.
because the way you said it is wrong,… only intent is to correct that.
similarly to AMRAMM’s, … MICA can shot other BVR Missiles, but it’s only a side-effect of how the missile work.
it never intended, nor studied to use the MICA as a missile to shoot other missiles
Nope. The “auto-défense” (or self-defense) in MICA refers to a capacity for the aircraft to defend itself in an air to air senario, impling against an other aircraft, not the missile.

bs.
its not, nor does it change its capabilities
is an a2a missile. they didn’t make it have that capability for it to mean it can only defend against other aircraft.
you do know that i’m not making stuff up, right? mica can shoot other missiles down and its simply a fact lmao. i’m not trying to nerf all missiles to not have mcm capability except for the mica. i’m saying it because i don’t want someone coming in and correcting “actually the mica can mcm” because i know it can.
that’s what i’m wondering,…
no studies and no trials were ever made for such case.
if this is a fact : show public available proofs

no one is dumb enough to rely on a mica to save the planes and their own life…
its not fully accurate for mica either, but it does have a lot, and i mean a lot more chances of intercepting a missile compared to amraams.
it’s for small targets like recon drones
