No aim120 though
The R-37M and the PL-15 are also putting the USAF and USN and probably why we saw the USN effort to mount SM-6 on Hornets

Yep. US is WAY behind most nations for BVR missiles at the moment, which is really funny. US should just buy Meteors :P

Too late, aim 260 already been live fired off multiple aircraft
Not integrated for F-35 or F-22 though
Yes they are that’s one of the biggest criteria of the program

AIM-54s are enough if they modeled it correctly.
Doesnt the F-22 has the Peregrine program?
F-35 we haven’t even seen images of it being shot or loaded for carriage. Or reports of it tested
Seems like both are being equipped with it. The original “proposed” render showed they were longer than an Aim120 with an expended booster
I dont think its worthy to explain to US mains how BVRAAM ranks nowadays, chap has less than 500 games in the other 9 nations. The US uses quantity of amraams which are not far behind meteors or PL-15s, where their advantage is to get a lot of amraam launch platforms airborne simutaneously. Its like sherman and T-34 vs tigers and panthers, these cant be reflected in game.

The 260 is meant to have a similar form factor to the amraam so it probably doesn’t have a largely extended booster, unless an f22 or f35 can carry the same amount of them. And testing on F-22 started 2023 but idk about f35

What does that have to do with whether an aim260 will fit in a F-22 or F-35 weapons bay?
Any chance for bringing back the IAR316 for Romania’s national Birthday on the 1st of December? Or at least a decal or something to celebrate?

Such a shame JNAAM was cancelled…
But at least being prototyped gives them a chance to appear in War Thunder at some point

Britain involved in the project? BRITAIN?
Yeah, these things will appear in WT in dreams.
Probably because the F-16AJ should have been the XF-2A

US aircraft carried AIM-120D1-3s. C-7 and C-8 are export missiles
Wasn’t C-7 US service and C-8 is the export one?
Pretty much, mainly seeker stuff is where the main differences lie iirc.
That looks like too much to me, but ill be pleasantly surprised if im wrong.
