Wow only 150 km, bringing an F-18 withing firing range of a Mig-33 with its mighty new reprogrammable signal processing radar and EOSS sighting system. Btw, here is one of your own posts disparaging the AIM-120

The AIM-120D isn’t the best thing going considering its configured for close encounters unlike an AIM-54 or Foxhound’s AA-9. Still an AIM-120D married to an F-18 is one thing, one with an F-22 is another story.
