Many thanks;how it works exactly?

Wrong. The 2000-5 did field Mica and the F-16 AIM-120. Both field radar with >100 km range and are supersonic. All that does allow to engage and disengage at will. Since the 90s BVR and related positioning is the name of the game. After that comes Fox 2, when a sleepy pilot was surprised. When you will save money you can try Fox 3 under such conditions maybe. I do not evenremember, when the last Fox 3 was called in earnest.
In 1982 an Israeli F-15 driver did remember his first kills in a Mirage III. He did not fire his AIM-9L, the first weapon of choise, but used his Vulcan to feel the thrill again.

dear Sens de cazz, the israeli pilot had AIM 9L on Mirage III????

In April of this year, the Italian Air Force conducted a two week evaluation of the M-346 at Practica di Mare. Part of the evaluation included dissimilar ACM, but I am not sure if the aircraft tested included the Typhoon.

During the UAE evaluation in August, the aircraft was flown against the Mirage 2000-5 and Block 60 F-16. Several “kills” were achieved by the M-346.

It seems John Boyd was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good night

Obviously the pilots involved selected to use the AIM-7 instead of the AIM-9 in most of the air combats – and they must have had their reasons for doing so, presumable because the Sparrow ensured a better likelihood of a kill?

I don’t know… the second kill by usn F 18 was done by a AIM-9 : the pilot fired a first missile he though was a sparrow, but, seeing a strange smoke plume, realized something was doing bad with the AIM 7, so reselected the Sparrow mode on the trigger and fired a second missile (a sparrow this time). the sidewinder hit the target( MIg 21) and the sparrow flown in the ball of fire.
