All numbers in these tables are based on vague estimates and/or PR posturing and will not be even remotely accurate. For a sane estimate of actual effective ranges, divide all numbers by 2 or 3. In addition, all numbers will be reduced further when dealing with a manoeuvring and/or cold-aspect target, especially at lower altitudes (i.e. anything below 25,000').

Air-to-Air Missiles

Name Models and ranges Note
AIM-7 “Sparrow” E F M MH MH variant offers improved loft logic that allows for more efficient use of the flight energy and longer effective range.
24nm 37nm
45km 70km
AIM-9 “Sidewinder” B J L M P P5 X X variant offers over-the-shoulder launching that significantly reduces effective range.
2.5nm 10nm 20nm
4.5km 18km 37km
AIM-54 “Phoenix” A Mk47 A Mk60 C Mk47 C The Mk60 engine offers higher acceleration and speed, and thus lower time on target, but also lower manoeuvrability.
100nm+
180km+
AIM-120 AMRAAM B C C variant has clipped wings for internal carry on the F-22, resulting in slightly lowered manoeuvrability.
