![]() MBDA Meteor has a two-stage propulsion mechanism, first being the solid fuel rocket motor, which ignites and kindle its life to provide a high supersonic speed to the missile, post which the Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet Engine ignites. ![]() Detailed Exhibit of missile components of a Meteor Both Fox-3 missiles are fire & forget in their terminal phase, after that the mothership can break the radar lock and roll away from the cranking of radar’s azimuth coverage. They have Home on Jamming capabilities as well, in which the missiles switches from active radar homing to passive radar homing and chase the radiation source when jamming is applied by the target aircraft. MBDA Meteor & Aim-120 AMRAAMīoth missiles have 2-way data link, which enables them to notify the mother ship about the fuel, velocity and propulsion parameters, mid-course guidance and terminal phase target locking notification can be sent as they both house AESA Seekers. Rafale & F-16 in an exerciseĪim-120 is lighter with approximately equal dimensions as those of Meteor, which means that an aircraft can carry more Aim-120s with equal amount of drag being produced if less Meteors would have been placed, while Meteor has a longer range with better fuel efficiency and constant speed. But, since J-10Cs aren’t operational in PAF yet, it’s important to compare Meteor with Aim-120C5 AMRAAM available with PAF’s Falcons, Block 15-52s. Meteor vs PL-15 comparison has already been done, and available on this website. In this context, it is important to compare it with its counterparts. ![]() With the arrival of Meteor in south Asia (India), where no 5 th generation aircraft is operational to date, it poses a significant threat to adversaries (Pakistan & China). Their integration together brings jaws of steel in the war, especially against 5 th generation below aircrafts. Note: This article discusses the specifications of MBDA Meteor & Aim-120 AMRAAM Beyond Visual Range Missiles(BVRM) in detail.īeyond visual range missiles are as important for air combat, as the aircraft itself.
