I know you need a lot more than just my words

My best proposal is that you take contact with the Swedish FMV and ask them what they can tell about this missile. Speed, distance, how this link between missile and plane works a.s.o or you could take contact with the company behind the missile.

I think in your original link the close-bracket is outside of the hyperlink.

This is from a Swedish page translated via google translate.

"Meteor will introduce many new capabilities in air combat arena. It is the first missile with variable throttle. During homing adapted engine thrust so that the robot should be able to fend off the course changes the target does. When the robot calculates the target maneuvers are no longer at risk of giving the robot runs out of energy accelerates the robot to the top speed. The robot also has as one of the first bi-directional data link which among other things allows the excess aircraft target data is compared with the robot's own sensor picks up.

The most impressive meteor, however the robot's distance. Here comes the meteor that for a few years surpass all other missile systems in the world, although it is planned for more long-range systems in other countries."

The Operational range for this missile seems change depending on what page you visit.
The English Wiki has 320+ km
Swedish wiki has 100 lm +
Saab group(the creator of JAS39) has the same range 100 km +

It seems that no one really know the real operational distance for this missile. I guess the reason to this is very simple the people/company behind keep these information for them self.

So until now I think that 75 mn is OK. I guess you will change that when the real operational distance will be known ?

It was I tried several times to fix it, with no success.

Thanks Markus, yes we'll change the range once we have more detailed information

Command already simulates one and two-way datalinks. Two-way datalinks like on the Meteor and AIM-120D (and SLAM, Walleye, etc) can send information on contacts they detect to the parent aircraft, where as older AMRAAMs cannot.

I think you should take the a low approach. 75nm looks ok. Newspapers are often trying to refer to manufacturers data. I remember watching a documentation over 688i Subs in the early 2000's where an officer proudly stated they could detect enemy subs with their passive hull sonar at 2000+ miles. I fell from my couch and needed 3 minutes to stop laughing. I served for two years as a sonar operator in the german navy and and had never ever before heard so much sailor's yarn.

You are right that sometimes the newspaper exaggerates stuff.

However the quotes I have made in this thread is from pages where military stuff like this Meteor is "treated" by pro and not just some ordinary Journalist.

Like this page which is in Swedish

Dags att Höja tröskeln=Time to raise the threshold

this person seems to know his stuff

Yes until we now the real range of operation of this meteor 75 nm is OK

I myself do not just read or hear ordinary news, when comes to military technologies
