Could Pakistan have tested a land-attack version of the C-802/803? Could see why some may have thought it was a Harpoon.

Other than that…..
Ultra long range…

U-Darter, which was an upgraded V3C Darter, also had a G-limit of “greater than” 50g’s. Ir was also an aerodynamically controlled missile without TVC. It was retired in 2008 with the Cheetah C. The A-Darter aims to beat this handsomely and has been tested at 80g’s already, with 100g’s being the end goal. Below is from:
http://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/weapons/62/u-darter
If you follow the link, there are pictures and descriptions of the entire South African missile series dating back to the start in the 1960’s.
Back on topic. The SAAF chose the IRIS-T as an interim missile for the Gripen pending deliveries of the first A-Darter. This will only be for a period of a year or two and probably is due to air defence commitments for the 2010 World Cup. I imagine it was chosen in light of Swedens usage on their Gripens.
Just looking at it briefly, it appears that the IRIS-T is integrated on more platforms, and used by more operators. Both are currently used on the Typhoon.
Python-4/5, U-Darter has no TVC and greater than 50gs. I think it is ~60 for Python-5 and Max 58 for U-Darter). The Chinese PL-9C has about 40gs without TVC. But I just wanted to point out that the ASRAAM has very minimal control surfaces (Like the A-Darter)…
and regarding the A-Darter…. Oh yes…. I think about 5 years ago the Denel/Kentron website itself stated that the A-Darter could hit a peak maneuverability of 100gs 😮 But since then they have removed it. :confused: But several unofficial/third-party source have mentioned very high g-limits for the A-Darter. Unusually High.
Still there will be about 175+ Raptors? Imagine if YF-23 was selected. 😮 there would not be even a 100 F-23’s….

The AIM-132 is vastly more agile than the previous generation of IR AAM´s, and in part of the flight envelope is actually more agile than the IRIS-T, specifically at the near-BVR range, it´s a question of energy.
Dont discount the MBDA weapon.

IIRC ASRAAM max G-limit is about 50g’s, but must remember that ASRAAM doesn’t have TVC unlike others (with the exception of Python-4/5, but that has allot of control surfaces). So 50g is pretty good for a TVC-less, minimal control surfaces missile.
Enter service already?

It would be nice. It seems to have a lot of potentional (which means, of course, that it will move to the top of Gates hit list but we can hope.)
Thought Mr. Gates was pro-UCAV?
A tornado GR4 loaded up with 12 Brimstones and 4 ALARMS. Those wing pylons can take some weight have 2 ALARMS and a big fuel tank.

Now that really IS an “Impressive Weapons Load”
Define “much”. It must have been at least 300m, I’d estimate.
Yup…I think its around ~300 Meters (~1000 feet). The F-22 demos also have a 1000 feet take-off IIRC.
