Probably because the exact workings of either the warhead or the countermeasures are confidential.

I'll take that F-4 if all you're going to do is blow it up ;)

@ChiefOfDaReefa the f4 did not try half a screw up and then dive down toward the missile.. well at least it wasnt all that clear on the video..

the f4 did try the fly into manuavre but that did not work xD

@aussiebear22 these missiles can pull 30+G turns, no plane on earth can outmaneuver this missile.

I wonder how well the AIM-9X does against more maneouvrable targets...

[ChiefOfDaReefa]

@RepaleoN Because the USAF uses drones with remote controls, Its very difficult for the airplanes to react and fly like a human would. Plus the 9X with its thrust vector and upgraded guidance system..

@RepaleoN They do..

IR Radiation creates an Electromagnetic energy signature(like any other energy/radiation source) Aircraft create different IR sources ranging from leading edge surface/skin IR to exhaust/engine hot section IR. Older IR Missile Seekers were primitive in their ability to both filter and process differentials in IR sources and their Electromagnetic signatures/ranges. Newer advances such as SFPA's and Advanced EMS discrimination/filtering make it nearly impossible for Flares & DIRCM to be effective

@RepaleoN they did that

[RepaleoN]

i want to see some Over G Fghters manuavres and see if they work

Since the AIM-9X has off-boresight capability, it could lock on to any enemy aircraft no matter where they are, whether in front or on the left or right of the plane.
