The Meteor is still a few years from deployment though, but when it arrives, it should handily outrange AMRAAM which is the longest spear in the IAF armoury (Derby is alleged to have a much shorter range). Incidently, why is Israel naming this missile after an English city? Why do you think that future American or Israeli made missiles won't have those capabilities? Because there are no current projects publicly announced that have the capabilities of the Meteor. Could there be one in development? Maybe, but there's no evidence for it. IIRC a successor to the Phoenix was planned, but was scrapped in the 1990s. -- A: top posting Q: what's the most annoying thing about Usenet?
