no
grow up
that is, if it appeared in the American media that the F-22 shot down another fighter at a range of 217 km, would it be true?
i would want to see real proof not he said she said claims
with a amraam? lmfao
Ever heard of this literary term called:" Hyperbole"?
whats that can you eat that /s
against a fully cooperative drone? lmfaooo. also “longest known missile shot”, doesnt mention range lmao.
amraam is kinda the worst modern air to air missile currently made by the top nations (other than r77-1), this is due to the fact it uses the base single pulse solid motor so most of its speed will be bled by drag in the first parts of its flight. in contrast other missiles like meteor uses a throttleable ramjet for a very efficient flight, others use dual pulse motors which ignites when the missile is close to target/ the missile itself becomes slow hence retaining its energy back
i could also bring up the 300km base r37 kill against a cooperative friendly target like the one you mentioned (note :- this was the base r37 not the r37m used rn)

that was a shot on a subsonic drone rather than supersonic targets like many test so the missile travel distance is significantly longer
range is classified so they dont publish the range but if there is a widely known missile shot from before the date that was published its safe to assume that shot was longer
really doesnt matter much tbh, the missile itself travels a lot more in comparision to the target
and what is that?
again as i said, its a fully cooperative target, in real life you will find manoeuvring targets in which something like amraam which gains and loses speed in the first parts of it flights will struggle
So it is okay to quote a test shoot on a cooperative target for the amraam but not for the r-37?
Yeah no double standards here
my point is amraam is really mid, prob could be a 200km kill at max, compared to something like old r37 with a 300km one
Range is one thing but the radar on the missile and how it turns is second lol
r37m from what i know has a really powerful seeker, acquiring a 5m2 (f16 sized as in game) target at 40km. when it turns to turning, its rated same as a r27. sure its not a dogfight missile and would struggle to turn in first 5 km but then it would be virtually impossible to outpull it.
min launch range 3.7km
“Overload of affected targets, g 8” ← stated by few forums
su-35 limits it’s range max to 200km because of radar being used so only mig-31 dedicated platform once the fight enters close range (visual) the mig-31 with those missiles would be a flying brick
So it’s as powerful as the Aim-54? The Aim-54’s seeker can pick up a target drone from ~39km which is half the size of the F-16 to my knowledge.
r-27 is rated the same
“It can detect a target with radar cross-section (RCS) 3m2 at up to 350 km when searching in a narrow FOV, 200 km otherwise.[6][7][8] In track-while-scan mode, the radar can engage two targets with semi-active radar homing missiles”
3m2 is still a decently small rcs. bigger jets like f15 will be much likely detected earlier
even tho r37m max range is 400km, you wouldnt shoot if the target is more than 300km away (like aim120a in game can go max 80km, but you wont shoot it at 50+ km)
i was unable to find this anywhere online. could you link me where it says this?
