AN unfair comparison; two totally different generations of missiles here. Two stage missiles are slated to have a vastly better range than the current BVRMs. The -D is obviously going to be better than the R-77 and -C; and from what I hear, the 2 way datalink gives is a (minor?) advantage over Meteor as well. But not the range- maybe as little as 2/3rds.

And you cant find good figures for the range/no-escape envelopes of Russian missiles. At least not to my knowledge.

And does anyone have any info on the next-gen US missile/FMRAAM/whatever? I found a Jane's article, but lack subscription.
