@ExarchGaming dog fights are almost non-existent under US doctrine. Comparing the US to Ukraine is pointless because our air force, logistics, and ability to enforce no fly zones which are necessary for air superiority is unmatched. The air force has very obviously doubled down on net centric warfare. It's likely future engagements won't be controlled by one person but a network of sensors that use algorithms to make the most effective decisions.

@ExarchGaming AIM-260 has a public max range of over at least 120 miles (very likely much more) not 40 kilometers. The AIM-260 was purpose built to counter the Chinese PL-15 missile which has a max range of about 120 miles.

@ExarchGaming yeah AIM-9X max range is about 15 miles on a good day so that makes sense. You did mention off bore shots which is only possible with the 9X. Still we see fighters bringing less 9X and more AMMRAMs. I'm just wondering when we will see combat drones if we don't have them already
