I remember reading that the kinematics of the -9X are much better than
previous Sidewinders and that it's range is significantly higher as a

That sounds very plausible.

That for all practical puropses the -9X is a BVR missile.

Do you have actual figures, for range, max speed, acceleration?


Nope. I've read a 22 mile range though, take it for what it's worth.
BTW here's a link to a video clip of some AIM_9X launches.
