Maybe meteor would be more appropriate to go first to the countries that are developing it. I don’t see anything beyond Derby as a real bvr option. Darter-U is probably as much a long shot as amraam. The sensitive nature of the technology and that any conflict with Russia increases the odds that this technology falls into the wrong hands is why I see the jf-17/sd-10 combination as a real option at this point in time. That and the MiG-35/r-77 combination, something familiar to the Russians, keeps them from getting paranoid that the power balance is shifting.
reading all this posts ,amazingly only star49 has made sense.
mig-25 and su-27 are to stay for very loooong…. in between the powers in office will change..
1. I rarely read messages from people that are on the ignore list. (The one you said made sense.)
2. The Ukraine Air Force does not operate the MiG-25, but they do have the MiG-29 alongside the Su-27.
