The F14 vs what we are doing now
One could also make the argument that a follow-on to AIM-54 isn't
required--threat is gone and the fact that the system was never used in combat during its life cycle would indicate that other weapons would have a higher priority for budget $$. Except it was of course much used in combat during the Iran-Iraq war, with some 60-70 victories claimed for the AIM-54 missile. jok
