"America, fuck yeah! Coming again to save the mother fuckin' day yeah, America, fuck yeah! Terrorists your days are through, 'cause now you have to answer to, America, fuck yeah!"
Where the AMRAAM becomes truly deadly is when launched from a supercruising aircraft like the F-22 at high altitude using only it's radar warning receiver to cue the AMRAAM's inertial navigation system. That way it's travelling at a much high initial velocity, has a much greater range and no radar is seen until the AMRAAM goes active a few seconds before impact.
@ironkaiserholtz13 you have to turn on the radar to launch the aim-120. they enemy plane can see the f-22s raptor radar. the f-22 needs awacs support so it can quickly turn on its radar and launch the missile close in from a angel the enemy radars are not looking.
@Nielsenkc It has been stated in an F-22 Raptor article by Bill Sweetman that the ALR-94 is enough to initiate an AMRAAM engagement. Also the ALR-94 can cue the APG-77 to shine a pencil-thin beam at the enemy fighter to not trip their RWRs. Why would angles matter? It's stealth and a missile won't be easy to detect until it "Pitbulls!"
@ironkaiserholtz13 I've heard BVR isn't really that practical in real life because of rules of engagement and confirming friendlies vs hostiles...sad =/
You'd think we'd have radars by now which can discriminate...maybe that's the next frontier.
@lgndrythndr The thing is, the AIM-120D version is bringing that. It's got..I think a 80-100 mile range and we can put it on an F-22 and get it up there damn quickly.
Of course, what you're suggesting is something for home or fleet defense. In that case a SAM would be preferrable because it's quicker and can be launched at a moment's notice. The Patriot anti-air missile is doing that and we have the Aegis system for the Navy. The Phoenix was impractical because of Rules of Engagement.
AIM-9 AIM-7 AIM-120 ANY HI-TECH & AESA radar built and by the u.s will be reverse engineered AND SOLD as soon as delived, years and years of r&d billions of dollars wasted and stoled
This would be true if we were still living in the 1980s. Unfortunately, we're not. Times have passed the F-15 by. Certainly the Chinese and Russians haven't been standing pat - which is exactly what we'd be doing if we made no F-15 replacement.
An aircraft can often take a decade or two to replace - are you seriously suggesting that we should keep the F-15 going until the year, say, 2030 or 2040?
@RedFoxAce stealth is not perfect + both f-22 and pak-fa are just stupid ways for spend money ... if the irplane is not somewhat like an F-117 it wont work ...
F-117 stealth is based on flat reflective panels and quite a lot of sharp curves.
However it was found out that sharp edges are good reflectors thru resonance and flat panels create strong signal return in a specific direction. Strong signal return to narrow direction.
Therefore modern stealth design is using smooth edges and rounded reflective surfaces, e.g. F22 bottom and top fuselage. The result is weak signal reflected to wide area.
THE TRUE IS RUSSIAN AND CHINA OUT RANGE U.S AND NATO MISSILE BY MILES, WHY HAVENT U.S AIR FORCE REPLACED AIM-54 Phoenix air-to-air missile WITH A LONGER RANGE MISSILE? THEY JUST RETIRED THE PHOENIX TO REPLACE IT WITH A MUCH SHORTER RANGE MISSILE ( MORE WASTED MONEY) LIKE IT OR NOT THE U.S.A.F engagement range IS LOST
@hotrod4you2 Not really a waste of money. The AIM-54 was retired because they were never used in combat, despite being in service for decades. AMRAAMs and Sidewinders are very capable missiles and have served the US very well.
There is more to aerial combat than the range of the missiles. Things like radar, avionics, stealth and most of all, pilot competency, are all more important.
I like AMRAAM, they're fun to load, running BITs on them can be a chore if its not tuning to the aircraft's radar. It's one of the smartest missiles in the air.
The only things I know about the AMMRAM missile are from flight simulator games - And should be used generally to give squadrons a devistating heads-up that you are about 5 minutes away from blowing the living shit out of whats left of them!!
haha i love all these comments.. you guys are a bunch of idiots.. there are not many people that know the true capabilities of the 120.. i dont know why everyone wants to give info when the shits not even public.. its range can actually go all the way around the world.. and has a mini nuke capability. look up the AIM-120S its a space missile..
@WooDpenis Your an idiot if you actually believe that, I build this missile and it does not have capabilities around the world, thats why its called the AMRAAM, Advanced MEDIUM Range Air-to-Air Missile. And as far as the AIM-120s, that is also incorrect, Its called the SLAMRAAM, Surface Launched Air-to-Air Missile.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
AMRAAM efficiency in BVR is around 50%. And that is against none modern military like Iraq. These numbers would go even lower if USAF were going against Russian or Chinese AF.
In most cases, they would end up in a dogfight.
In Iraq, around 20% of engagements ended up in dogfight.
its stupid to compare R-37 with amraam cause the R-37 is a much bigger missile that can kill targets at 300 km+ amraam is only 100 km range, if you wnt to compare something with amraam compare the R77 with it.
why do you think a r-37 is a useless missile? it has a very high range, powerfull on board radar.. its the best missile to take out bombers, f-35, awacs or other bad maneuvering targets. actually the aim-120 is useless you know that to hit MIG-29 with nonworking radar, alert system in Yugoslavia needed 4 aim-120 tree of them missed. and what would append if aim-120 will need to hit a fully working "su-35bm" with good pilot?
you know something dude,the R-37 isn't very effective to shot down the F-35,it's because it got bad manouver and so on...it's specially made to take down AWACS only...try to aim "those" R-37 toward F-22..i'll bet it won't even gave any scratch on it..hahaha....hey man,AIM-120 AMRAAM is the best ever long range missile ever made...for me the AIM-54 Phoenix is better than R-37..
The Afghans beat the Russian military...what makes you think that the US can't?
And unlike Russia, the US is occupying the country and minimizing civilian casualties...Russia just bombs every living thing out there and STILL lost.
Yeah you seem to forget (or deny) that Russia got pwned silly in Afghanistan and lost 100,000's of soldiers there lol. You say 'please challenge Russians' but why doesn't Russia come and look for a fight? becuase they know they would get their asses handed to them on a plate :0
NATO technology is on average 15 years ag=head of Russia's....
AIM-120D range is nowhere near that. 120C5 has a range of 50km, C7 has a range "slightly greater" and 120D has a range "50% greater" than that. It is in the 90km range. Meteor is in "excess" of 100km. AMRAAM rocket motor can't compete with a ramjet. What makes the AIM 12D so good is that is can be launched from the groud thus turning into a SAM.
METEOR is far superior to AIM 120D. Why do you think the METEOR is nearly 3 times as expensive? UK had the choice of purchsing METEOR or AIM 120D..I'm pretty sure that if the AIM 120D has this range od 210 KM (lol) then UK would of gone for that at a 3rd of the price :)
All of this info is widely available so there's no excuse :)
@N1cholas240 Sorry but your info is not correct, there's only one missile with such a great range, and it's not even western. AMRAAM can't achieve that range,even if it would engage enemy in head-on-head aspect. Amraam's effective range is 30 nautical miles .
@ZeljkoKG87 How do you figure that aim-120c-7 has a range of 140km and the 50% range increase aim-120d has a 210km+ range. The missile needs to be fired at 80km below its max range. So the aim-120c-7 would be effective at 60km and the aim-120d would be effective at 130km
R77M1 is the trade name. Nato reporting name AA-12 Adder. Mockingly called the "AMRAAMSKI". AIM-120D has a classified range, but the C model had a range of 65 miles compared to 108 on the AA-12.
The AA-12 version that has about 100 mile range is the Ram jet version that has no buyers and will probably not be produced. It also has a long way to go before the bugs are worked out of it.
The R-77 that the Russians have now is better kinetically then the Aim-120C but probably far less smart.
russian av a missile that travel much farther,but that missile purpose is to shoot down awacs n refueling planes,yanks also av a missile called phoenix that travel farther than this,but whats most important is,the aim-120 amraam av the most advance tracking system for a bvr missile,thats why its great,its tracking system are much better than any bvr russia missile,india complain about ruski hardware too,they say if they buy mig35,they will install a french or israeli radar on it,why,ruski suck.
