yeah, but nations made their choices and apparently that means some have to suffer, so given that the US and Germany chose not to adopt the ASRAAM, I guess they have to suffer for it
Now that they are adding a strategic mode I change my opinion on the B-2
MICA IR and ASRAAM have imaging IR seekers like 9X
according to this guy
F-15A same time as MiG-23M?
What is range good for when long range missile launches can be easily defended against with adecuate maneuvers?
On the other hand, good luck evading a MICA that can pull a 180º turn like a maniac to reduce you to atoms.

what US aircraft are going to have ASRAAM?
I do find it kinda funny how the 9X is gonna be the worst 5th gen IR missile and people are gonna get so upset about it

F-16 and F/A-18 (on a technicality for the 2nd)
Funny thing just german efts were already showcased with asraams.
Besides that they wont add them if it aint equaly.
Or just give everyone asraamnor replace them later like they did with uk gripen and the skytemp getting replaced for amraam
if they get an Australian Super Hornet they have ASRAAM integration
this is why im grinding sweden for gripen E with IRIS-T and meteor
no, their super hornets have AIM-9X, their legacy hornets used ASRAAM

damn US getting them to downgrade shame lol
That move totally wouldn’t upset anyone at all : P
It all comes down to the situation though.
I’m against splitting up Australia anymore, I don’t want to see it become another Canada.
Though I suppose we should take some pride in the fact that the missile we made 5 years earlier is better than the best the US could come up with
and like Quartas said, it was the Legacy that used ASRAAM
