Problem is Blk 3 AIM-9X Will be competing with Block 6 ASRAAM (and IIRC a Block 2 IRIS-T has been announced).

Who knows honestly it still could be worse or it could be on a similar level but this upgrade needed to happen to bring aim9x up to par it was falling behind a bit.
US has been for a while. Meteor has been kicking Aim-120Ds butt for years
To be fair, the only thing they have been fighting in recent times were balloons
They manage to get some decent range out of the aim120s but yes aim120 has been behind Meteor for a while now. I’m curious to see the numbers on aim260 though.

they are talking about making an even more extended range AIM-120 lol
AIM-26A when?
When they get back to creating campaigns and other such mission content
Spoiler
so never
but its an early a2a missile
You can get your Falcon, but not the nuclear Falcon
not even a kiloton so not even all that OP
measly 250t
Actually, you can get your AIM-26 in form of the AIM-26B, though I don’t know if the US even used these themselves.
Switzerland and Sweden did tho as the HM-55 on the Mirage IIIS and the Rb 27 on certain Drakens respectively.
pretty sure we at least made/tested them if everyone else used a renamed version of them.
i would like YF-12 with AIM-47 and MiG-25 with R-40 for USA and USSR for earlyish missile interceptors. and the testbed B-58 with the AN/ASG-18 radar and AIM-47

Perhaps on the F-106, as that used the later Falcons.
About the AIM-47 and R-40, not seeing that happen at all. Closest thing I could see being added are the Tu-128 with R-4s and the Yak-28P with R-8s
wasnt it F-102 that first got AIM-26? makes sense i guess since 106 is a development.
but why not AIM-47 and R-40?
Because their launch platforms are not fit for WT gameplay at all
didnt they say something about MiG-25 on russian dev stream?
They say lots of things on the russian dev stream lol
If stuff like the MiG-25 gets added it most likely is for special modes. Would be a very fitting enemy for the strategic bombing mode.
