Propeller rule fits, sorta.

That is an impressive missile load! And from what I understand, the meteor is there a very impressive missile itself.

Having said that, I believe the F-15 X that we are now building carries something like 20 missiles, and the new air-to-air missile they are working on will be significantly better than the current AMRAAM.

I wonder what the radius is with that load, and max speed.

Actually this is one instance where all the Typhoon's mentioned so far are pretty badass!

Indeed, play time of maybe 30 minutes on station and the pilot must visually identify his target before he can shoot it

Or the politics of engaging something BVR.

The Meteor, when it was first proposed(in the 90's), seemed like a hell of a missile.

At that point, you'd have compared it to the AIM-120A or B, and damn, it was nice.

When you finally get it out of development hell, with IOC in 2016... Well, now you're up against AIM-120C7's and AIM-120D's... it's far less impressive.

That's not to say it's a bad missile. Just that if I were to put my $$ on a weapon system... it would be AMRAAM. I have no faith that upgrades will be forthcoming, and you do see it in the AIM-120 family.

No kidding! Did another pilot take it in the middle of a battle or something?

This is an interesting typhoon build. Guy is basically rebuilding a crashed Typhoon from scratch.

What? Aren’t there like 5 in the entire EU that can get airborne and are FMC?

Europe is a joke.
