  1.  @Красиваясоветскаядевушка  Wrong The AIM-9X had zero technology from the R-73 The USAF had AIM-82 and the USN AIM-95 as well as Helmet Mounted Sight (HMS) technology Both of which pre-date R-73 Neither saw service as both agreed on the AIM-9L which addressed the shortcomings of previous AIM-9s and was cheaper and HMS was seen as unnecessary When the West saw the R-73 The only missiles that US military used for the AIM-9X was the Israeli made Python 3 and 4 For one, the Python was already integrated to the F-15 and F-16. and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems had already existing technology transfer agreements with Raytheon which is why the US was able to field the AIM-9X in such a short time. Notice that lead platform for the AIM-9X testing was none other than F-15
