The Meteor Missile - Europe's Dominant Air To Air BVR Missile

Meet the Meteor - Europe's game-changing air-to-air missile that's redefining beyond-visual-range combat. Developed by MBDA, this isn't your typical missile. While most rockets burn out after their initial boost, the Meteor keeps accelerating with its revolutionary ramjet engine, maintaining speeds over Mach 4 throughout its entire flight. Here's what makes it deadly: a throttleable ducted rocket that provides three times the kinetic performance of current missiles like the AMRAAM. Its no-escape zone? More than three times larger than the AMRAAM, meaning once it's locked on, targets have virtually no chance of getting away. The Meteor uses a smart three-stage guidance system - starting with inertial navigation, receiving mid-course updates through a two-way datalink, then switching to active radar homing for the kill. It can engage everything from fighter jets to small drones, even in heavy electronic jamming environments. Currently deployed on the Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale, and Gripen, with F-35 integration coming by 2027. Thirteen nations already operate this European engineering marvel that's setting new standards for air superiority. The Meteor - when missing isn't an option.
