Article Abstract:
The operational impact of the latest-generation radar-guided air-to-air missiles (AAMs) on enemy planes under the unpredictable and different conditions of aerial combat is described. The modern beyond visual range (BVR) AAMs provide a better operational flexibility, combat potential and also includes the possibility of mid-course update being provided from a different platform than the launching aircraft.

Arming stealth aircraft
Article Abstract:
The practice of arming stealth aircraft with non-stealth weapons was not justified economically and operationally, as it had no special features except for some modified versions of the standard weapons. However, by introducing new and appropriately designed missiles, the concept of arming stealth aircraft can be improved, but lack of flexibility would remain.
