Since Korea, how many BVR engagements have occured Even Eric Hartman (greatest ace of all time) said most of his kills were from long range when Soviet pilots could not see him.

At least one, that I can think of.

In Vietnam, after a “bombing pause”, first mission headed North got a BVR kill because it could be known for certain that the target was not friendly.

I guess I’ve kind of made your point, haven’t I? ;-P

we need the NOT THIS AGAIN pic. sounds like the ‘60s with the F-4C all missile no guns. as for BVR hell ROE says you can’t even shoot at a bad guy until he fires first. i can see iran sending up attack aircraft and put some civilian passenger planes in the mix. we shoot BVR in self defense and shoot a few of them down in the mix they get propaganda. we wait gor visual and it could be too late.

More than you would think. What concerns me is in a REAL war our city’s and manufacturing base will be crippled, or at the very least our supply lines will be strenuous at best.

Its going to be a lot harder to produce & distribute theses very complex missile systems, assuming we could ever build enough of them to take down an air-force more than 5 times more numerous than our own.
