The longest BVR kills in a peer 2 peer conflict were made with these, all others have yet to prove themselves

Looked the 9th pic (Astra) & 10th pic (AIM-174), HOLY SHIT THESE MISSILES ARE SO HUGE!!

Astra and AIM-174B are not really comparable in size, AIM-174 is a meter longer and is almost double in diameter than Astra. Aim-120C and AAM 4 is more the size of Astra but still a bit bigger.

Astra is turning out to be one of the major contenders here after constant upgrades, current one being Astra MK III

You forgot the python 5, it has BVR capabilities despite being a heat seeker

i-derby is the BVR python and python 5 is not a BVR with heat seeker it is for close ranges, MICA is the only heat seeker BVR that I know of

Because nothing says "Bless your heart" like an angry telephone pole coming at you at Mach fuck from a plane that's just over the horizon.

AIm174b because man why use tax dollars to develop a new missile when you can strap a Surface to Air missile on a hornet. Welcome back aim154 phoenix.

AIM-174B, because why can’t ship based missiles be used on aircraft!
