Found a kinda funny thing: This article says that BGT claims the following:
The IRIS seeker allows the missile to acquire targets at up to 90 degrees off-boresight and three to four times further away than can today’s Sidewinder, claims BGT - which also builds various versions of the Sidewinder missile under licence in Germany.
Now taking this report as the base for the seeker range of the AIM-9M, which is equivalent to the AIM-9L/I-1 seeker-wise, the lock-ranges for the IRIS-T (3-4 times the seeker range according to BGT) could range from at least 39 km (3x ~13 km) to >100 km (4x 28,7 km) lol
4km leave it or take it. And if you complain we are going to make it 2.
