The visual ROEs will go away in future scenarios where we’re heavily outnumbered, which is what this missile is being purchased for.

BVR never made sense when 99% of the aircraft in the air at any given time were American, like Vietnam, the Gulf War, etc.

Do you think the US would build (modify) something like the proposal for the B-1R “missile truck”?

Apparently would only work with F22s right now
