AMRAAM先进中距空对空导弹,大概是目前西方正在研究的唯一的最重要的空战武器系统。研制该武器的目的是要从1986年起替换现有的AIM-7“麻雀”型空空弹。AMR-AAM将装备美国空军,美国海军,英国空军与德国空军。另外,AMRAAM也一定会引起其他现在使用“麻雀”空对空导弹的国家及军队的注意。 AMRAAM最近定名为AIM-120,似乎也命名为“鹰”(FALCON)。下文中有关作战性能的报导来自一篇访问记。 The AMRAAM Advanced Mid-Range Air-to-Air Missile is probably the single most important air-to-air weapon system currently under study in the West. The purpose of the weapon was to replace the existing AIM-7 Sparrow-type air-to-air bomb from 1986 onwards. AMR-AAM will be equipped with the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the British Air Force and the German Air Force. In addition, AMRAAM will certainly attract the attention of other countries and armies now using the Sparrow air-to-air missile. AMRAAM, recently named AIM-120, also appears to be named “Eagle” (FALCON). The following article on combat performance is from an interview.
