    isnt the f-35 heat management designed for a slower speed anyway, so max speed is pretty pointles most of the time

    who said a hms gives a 360 ? it wasnt with a hms, it was actually off-board, like the mica. but obviously a hms can deploys a loal missile anywhere in his viewing area
    how is the rafale hms going ?

    NOPE, just in case you didn’t know, it was a world FIRST and was only achieved with an angle marginaly off the wing line, the difference was it wasn’t remote targeting.

    Welcome back to reality.

    any aircraft linked or hms, with a missile with data loal can do the same, it will be a long list

    i guess the only difference is acording to MBDA, the asraam seems to be a better wvr missile than the MBDA mica

    ASRAAM (Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile) is the most agile, modern air-to-air missile designed to dominate the combat mission from Within Visual Range to near Beyond Visual Range. The combat concept behind ASRAAM is designed to give the pilot the ability to engage the enemy, fire and get away without risking himself or his aircraft in a dogfight. ASRAAM unique capabilities enable it to defeat all short-range missiles, existing or planned, in close-in combat.

    this may give you an idea of comparison

    http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d04900.pdf
    At 2004 the Capability score using JSF as a Capability score of 1 for comparison
    F/A-18E/F Block ll = .660
    F/A-18E/F Block l = .316
    F/A-18A+/C/D = .193

    so a block ll sh has twice the Capability of a block l

    Good reminder of the real capabilities of the aircraft.

    What else than a good 180*kill on a drone?

    Allow me just for bringing back some memories.

    ?

    quite a few can, including aussie 25yr old hornets
