The missile can also be used on F/A-18, F-16, Gripen, and Tornado, but at least for the F-16, it cannot use its full potential, including 360° targeting, due to lack of sensor integration. | |

| Feb 10 at 6:21 | comment | added | Therac | @AnonymousPhysicist Short-range missiles are used in dogfights. | |
| Feb 10 at 4:43 | comment | added | WPNSGuy | @AnonymousPhysicist - "is used for dogfights" might actually be "has never been used in actual combat". | |
| Feb 10 at 3:54 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | Your link says the Cobra maneuver is used for dogfights, which means no missiles. | |
