I'm aware of those incidents avon1944, but I'm not sure why you brought them up. Yes, I know there might be reasons to launch missiles early (ie. ranges at which they won't be terribly effective against a maneuvering target, here maneuvering to be taken as actively trying to evade the missile).
My point still stands: The AMRAAM works as advertized when launched inside the Rtr, and it's the Rtr range where a missile is most lethal. Anything beyond that is 'anyone's guess'.
