Why don't you think that Iran was ever given the AIM-54 in the first place. I didn't think that had ever been in dispute?

PD
Try Mach 3. An AIM-120 AMRAAM travels faster at greater than Mach 4. AIM-54 uses a controlled burn for distance flight and longevity. It also is one of the first missiles to use an advanced trajectory to enable it to reach out and touch you at longer ranges!
