Russian & Chinese panic The U S s; New Missile Will Couter Chinese & Russian Fighter Jet

The U.S. has been quietly working on a new air-to-air missile meant to “out-stick” next generation Chinese and Russian missiles. The existence of the AIM-260, or Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, was revealed last week, with the expectation for the missile to enter service in 2022.

Air Force Weapons Program Executive Officer Brig. Gen. Anthony Genatempo revealed the existence of the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile to reporters, stating that it had been under development since 2017. Flight tests will begin in 2021 and the missile is expected to reach initial operational capability—a point at which the missile will start reaching fighter units—in 2022.

Genatempo, as reported by Air Force Magazine, described JATM as a “next air-to-air air dominance weapon for our air-to-air fighters.” The missile will initially arm the F-22 Raptor, equipping the main weapons bay, and the Navy’s F/A-18E/F fighter jets.

Deployment on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will follow, but the missile will skip older generation jets such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon, both of which will still be around in the 2020s.
The Air Force describes JATM as having a range greater than the existing AMRAAM missile (top). The AMRAAM, also known as the “Slammer,” is the military’s medium to long range air-to-air missile. In 2016, a Navy official admitted that the Pentagon was “probably close to maxing (AMRAAM) out”.

Fighter jets typically carry two types of missiles: short-range, infrared-guided missiles like the American AIM-9X Sidewinder, and long-range, radar-guided missiles such as AMRAAM. The missile has been in service since the 1980s, gradually upgraded as technology advances. The latest version’s range is classified but thought by experts to be somewhere around 75 to 100 miles. Unlike most fighters, which carry a mix of missile types to fit the missile, the F-35 carries only AMRAAM mlssllas.
