Also Finnish air force used R-13M1’s
It’s already been stated by Gaijin they consider them to bad to be added.
Which are equivalent to the missiles it already gets.

R-13M1s are far superior to the AIM-9J, they get 50% increased thrust

Gaijin haven’t added any aim4’s or any planes that only carry aim4’s. I don’t think they like them.
Old forum thread with additional info on AIM-4 performance.
Apparently the later versions were fairly decent missiles, despite the limitations of no proximity fuse. This’d also open the door for AAM-2 from Japan, which could be comparable to R-60M if sources are accurate. I have heard talk of swede upgrades to the AIM-4, but not seen any proper sources describing what was modified.
Turns out the AIM-4 was decent, as long as you flew anything but the F-4. Only the F-4 is to blame for the poor reputation of the missile. It basically had none of the fire control equipment to employ the weapon in a usable capacity.
R-13M1 also cannot lead as well as 9J nor turn as well due to that speed.
So while R-13M1 will go faster in a straight line, 9J will turn more with a better off-boresight capability as well.
