Why are the missiles of the Hunter F58 considerably better than the aim9j's despite being a copy when it comes to the appearance and aerodynamics?

It seems impossible to kinetically defeat or flare these missiles from a pure rear aspect, even on cold aircraft like the f-5c and e. You can easily zig zag on aim9j’s with these two planes because they have good energy retention, yet somehow hunter f58s keep scoring FLw>Z or whatever they called kills CONSTANTLY against flaring aircraft.

Edit: I remember AIM9J’s also ignore flares sometimes especially on terminal approach. Hunter F68 is very slow and happens to launch these missiles far away.

but i’ve seen it with my own eyes, so what

then I must have a skill issue, i should just throttle to minus 100 and reach zero kelvin instead of lowering to zero and pre flaring.

evidently?..

Bro can’t spot sarcasm.

Stay on ground RB topics please.
