俄罗斯和以色列的空空导弹比美国的“响尾蛇”导弹具有更广阔的使用领域,并且在机动性方面更为先进,因此,它们在近距离作战中占有优势地位。 五角大楼官员正在作出努力,使美国的近距和中距空空导弹尽快得到改进,以对付作战能力占优势的俄罗斯导弹AA-11和AA-12。目前,这些俄国导弹和非美国武器正在快速进入第三世界国家的武库中。 Russians and Israel’s air-to-air missiles have broader areas of use than the U.S. “rattlesnake” missiles and are more advanced in maneuverability, therefore, they have a dominant position in close combat. Pentagon officials are working hard to make the U.S. short-range and medium-range air-to-air missiles as soon as possible to improve against Russia’s missiles AA-11 and AA-12, which are more capable of combat capability. At present, these Russian missiles and non-U.S. weapons are rapidly entering the arsenals of third world countries.
