Not the best range, but use the Aim120C, and the AIM series has so much combat experience, being the best air to air missile to date.

@richardholmes1920 The meteor is worse as it can only be launched at high altitude do to it's ramjet engine. It also needs to be fired from a certain speed as ram/scram jet engines produce 0 thrust on their own. It also has also never been used in combat. The ASRAAM is a short range missile and is worse all around and should be compared to the sidewinder.

@D.Frasure I think they are afraid it would sway the Russian citizens to support the war. That being said I wish we gave them long range weapons.

@john_in_phoenix Ukraine has nothing NASAMs can integrate to being as all their SAMs are Russian or home made. This is about NASAMs in Ukraine, not about the US NASAMs, THAAD, Patriot, GMBD, etc. hence the point of my comment. Have a good one

@john_in_phoenix ... "NASAMs integrate just fine with other NASAMs" They don't just layer them every 60 miles... This will be my last response, goodbye.
