AIM-120 AMRAAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One thing is sure you cannot be wrong... Its has generally been the case with your types.
As assumed earlier and rightly so... It goes over your Head... No point in explaining.
We studied that in our book a few years back... 190 or 200 are estimates... perhaps any new development would've increased the count but... that should be well above 200 to cause any significant change in performance.

Only If that can get in your Head... read about those engagements before making ridiculous statements.
The area where phalcons would be flying would generally have a few dozens of these.. supporting the Armor and Mechanized groups and providing cover for Helo gunships.
I was trying to show you the distance it had to travel near the ground barely 10-30m above with its AB on the fuel guzzling RD-93.
Too add on that you completely downplay the effect Ground based SAM cover can have on such engagements.
Which base were you at ?
Unlike what US/British/Pakistani Airbases face in shadow of insurgent groups/Taliban/Terrorist etc while in Afghanistan/Iraq/Pakistan... most Indian bases are in isolated areas without any threat of insurgent groups/Taliban/Terrorists... I won't say its on par with the...

There is no fire and forget for the Aim120C5 If the F-16 turns away just after the launch.

I quiet sure you must've seen many things.. inside the tank[including Kombat ATGM being loaded by hand and auto-loader not being able to load that :disagree:]... however the engineering limitations doesn't allow special chambers to store Ammo in a tank of the design of Al Khalid... the main...
Neither did I include the developmental costs borne by the Industry.
I agree about Intelligence... Hence the MMRCA evaluations on the F-16block70... and SH with their latest AESA radars and weapon systems including Aim120D.
Not to say about the yearly exercises with Singapore and Israeli air...
The Quietest Russian Sub... are going to be Yasen class boats... these would be upto or better than the level of Virginia class but inferior to seawolf in quietness... however its fire power would be unmatched by any of the subs in development today.
