I am an amatuer but i think ramjet carries more fuel as it uses air from atmosphere giving it extended range and thrust..more the thrust range more it can bleed energy in a chase..Not an expert on Ramjets but my question is this during an engagement - wouldn't a higher powered missile while good to chase enemy be at a disadvantage in maneuverability or these missiles designed to reduce/accelerate speed during engagement near the target envelope?
Rockets on the other hand have to carry both oxydizer & fuel and thus are heavier...
Which leads us to question why hasnt USA & china caught on to Ramjet engines...surely both have the capability to make one
