The Russian Philosophy of BVR Air Combat

Interesting note at the end that India is funding the development of the Ramjet KH172 BVR missle which has a range of 200km.

Have to confess i thought this was a 100% Russian project. It seems it will eventually equip India SU30MKI fighters has i have indicated in another thread SU30MKI V JF17 posts.

I'm curious has the AAMRAAMski scored a confirmed kill as yet against a western fighter? Paper tigers.

No it has not.

At ranges such as 100km and >, IFF becomes a major issue.

Correct and at ranges such as 100km+ a good Pilot can get out of the range easily..BVR is really effective within no escape zone.
