The data provided on missile range should be taken with a bucket of salt. Just too many variables.

I recall at least 2 cases where a SAM killed its target beyond its advertised range.

– A SeaDart missile during the Falklands war: the target was an Argentine aircraft (AFAIR a Canberra).

– An S-200 (SA-5) missile tragically downing a Siberian Airlines Tu-154 airliner over the Black Sea a few years ago.
