MBDA Meteor

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
