So, half the range of ASRAAM and equal specs to the first gen IRIS-T

9X from the start was a budget IRIS-T, cope and seethe somewhere else. This is RR, there have been no solid rumours for new IR AAMs coming.

AIM-9M replace with Python 4 on F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak this year, but just removed medium-range Air-to-Air Missile only and not changed battle rating
Python 5 better Python 4
My opinion, gajin might add Python 5 on F-15I Ra’am Q1 or Q3 2026 after decompression max battle rating to 14.7

Hu?
You do know that much of Europe has been equal to the US in tech for the past 80 years?
Vulcan for example was WAY more advanced than the B-52 and succesfully “nuked” the US… Twice.
Sea Harrier beat the living hell out of the F-5E and F-15A multiple times.
Tornado Gr1s did in a single sortie, what the US couldnt do in 3 nights worth of sorties in the gulf war.
US doesnt automatically means its better.
ASRAAM, Brimstone, Storm Shadow, ALARM, etc etc are all european designed weapons that outperform the US equivalents and have done so for years

Where do you get these stats?
Who wins the dogfight, J10A/B or Eurofighter? Isnt J10 the best dogfighter in game currenty?
The better pilot/player usually wins
US stuff shouldn’t be as expensive as it is currently. Almost all US weapons cost more than they should.

are we really doing the muh more expensive argument
What? You must be talking about some training exercises which will put into question what is the conatrants of the exercise.
buddy AIM120D1 has 180kms of range and thats considered to be a medium range missile…aim120D was made in the late 90s…while the last version of AIM120D might have even more, IR missiles are useless anyway when they also have F15EX which can carry 22 ARHs…IR missiles aren’t that important anymore but America is still TOP and you can only cope + american stuff is certified to be more reliable than anything else, you can put however much fuel in a missile thats not top tech, but the extra weight also affects reliability
J-10A can be beat by Gripen and F-16 I believe but it’s close and the J-10 carries more weapons than both.
The J-10B is lighter than the Eurofighter I believe but the Eurofighter has better TWR, so in a prolonged fight the Eurofighter should win, but I imagine they will be very close in terms of pure flight performance.
Operation Sky Shield in the 1958 and 1960. Was a US test of their air defence against mass bomber raids. Britain was invited. Vulcans managed to penetrate the US defenses and “nuke” US cities on both occasions

Just because they can doesn’t mean they actually do that in a realistic situation
any weapon that is even close to being the same as US’ has always been developed with US, all of those missiles and stuff have been developed in NATO, US is also in NATO, also whatever u wrote above is baseless
So a testing of an AD system… cool.
So the Typhoon is a US made aircraft?

Yeah, this wasn’t a training exercise with harsh restrictions, this was the US wanting to see if it could repel a Soviet nuclear strike and Britain proving that they couldn’t several times
