thats perfect, thank you
I added spoiler for every family of missile for more clarity.
Hit me up if you want any modification for it

The Range on the IRIS T is more i can guarantee
How can you guarantee it
Sekret Dokuments or it’s not true (alt + 9)
For legal reasons this is a joke
Discussion using sources not permitted is probably not a good idea on the public forum then

According to this public source, it does not.

This is a primary source from the maker of the missile.
Source is from @Faster_Boiiiii
The 10km figure is logic considering the 16km range on the ASRAAM, the 15km range on the 9X_Block2 and the Python 5 and the 18km for the MICA IR.
The IRIS-T is really not optimised for long range shot.

the 10km range is for the SLS. Yes it is the same missile as the air launched one but its launched from 0 speed and 0 altitude
SLS, SLM, SLX and HYDEF are surface launched only(for now)
dont see how the iris-t is relevant here though
R-27EA was produced in extremely limited numbers.
R-27EA was not produced at all

If you have proof that would be appreciated, but it seems there was some limited testing in the mid-80s according to some russian websites. The program was set aside in favor of the RVV-AE (R-77) program.
whether they were tested or not is one thing but being produced and put into service is a whole other thing but the project died in the turn of the 1990s

Yeah
Technically all sorts of missiles were ‘produced’ but that doesn’t mean they were ever functional or usable.
its supposed to have an integrated booster as well which, after burning, leaves the ram combustor part empty to do ramjet things
nah not just supposed to. it has it.
you can tell that it has one from launch pictures where it has a big exhaust flame reminiscent of an AMRAAM or any other solid rocket booster type exhaust flame. Additionally there is a video from MBDA showing the meteor in flight(although in what looks like IR) and its exhaust flame and plume is much smaller.
Why? well the missile needs to get to a certain speed for the ramjet to turn on and work properly. as most launches aren’t going to be at mach 2, you’ll need a booster.
as it doesnt have anything to jettison, it has to be integrated in the missile
oh yea, and mbda literally says
Following the boost phasethe missile successfully transitioned to its ramjet operationand accelerated to its operational speed.

There is also R-27EA as an early ARH missile for Russian aircraft
I provided Adrien weeks ago two papers on the Meteor which confirmed Boost motor on the Meteor. One of the paper is the motor manufacturer paper.
Wtf you make me look like the bad guy.
I was even the one to tell you that the meteor had a primary booster to propulse it to MACH 2/3 where the Ramjet is the most efficient. I just forget to add it in the thread lol.
PS: Don’t take it seriously, it’s just banter
I eddited it to add the booster on the Meteor.

You can find this missile in the main post just under “Russia” if you want information about it.

Aim-120C5 porpulsion is about boost:16.7kN for 7.75 sec & sustain: 3.37kN for 20 sec. Dont ask where i get this information. It’s just a guesstimate.
That’s not accurate at all. Orbital ATK (manufacturer of the motor) has stated the performances of the AIM-120C-5 as being a boost-only motor. There is no sustainer.
Your thrust estimates would put it at 1/2 the total impulse of AIM-54 and missile is 1/3rd the weight…
