AIM-260 does exist, its been tested, but ofc public doesnt really know anything about it. so unless more information is released between now and F-35 addition, they might just give it Meteor.
we are going to put meteor on F-35A too for italy right?

With how small the maps are I don’t see what’s wrong with aim120d’s on the f35.
Supposedly has been tested, thing was meant to have be in in production last year. Only concept art so far…
they could always just do that too
Its a missile shaped nerf dart fr
what if, bear with me here. they just havent announced production of it. they hid existence of F-117 for years so why wouldnt the same happen for the AIM-260 production?
and iirc there were rumors of AIM-174B in 2019 but only recently revealed
So technically if it isnt in production wouldn’t that make it not existing being accurate?
Britsh abrams it is
- tested armament on jet/heli is not same as whole tested vehicle
- did UK ever actually test them or were they just shown off by GDLS? asking out of curiosity
difference is that nobody had something like the f117. everyone but the yanks have ultra long range fox 3
what the hell is the AIM-174 then?
I do believe it is a missile kind sir
yeah, an ultra long range one which is the kind Caernavron02 thinks US doesnt have
But do they, if it’s on a stealth aircraft how can you be sure
another missile not in service

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, wants to make sure the Air Force and Navy have enough air-to-air missiles for their crewed and uncrewed fighters through the end of the decade and is directing them to submit an annual assessment of the threat and need in his markup of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act.
Specifically, Rogers wants to know if the services require more AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles than they’re planning to buy, and whether an extended-range version should be added to the acquisition plan. Such a weapon could be a “hedge” against failure or delay of other air-to-air missiles in development, he said, such as the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile (JATM).
Congress doesn’t seem sure and is hedging against it.

hedge just means they are considering getting extended range AMRAAM just in case. AIM-260 is pretty far along from what ive heard
