Цива, я с тебя )(уею.. с AIM-9X на ф-22 такая же шняга как с AIM-120D.. в рамках Increment 3.2B с 2017 и то под вопросом.. пиндосы только надеются, что начнется.. ты тоже надеешься?
In 2017 the US Air Force hopes to start installing Increment 3.2B modifications onto its Raptor fleet. Increment 3.2B is a hardware and software upgrade that will fully incorporate the AIM-120D and AIM-9X air-to-air missiles onto the F-22. It will also further upgrade the aircraft's geo-location and electronic protection capabilities.
ты можешь ну просто скока угодно офуевать что никак не отменяет того что в этом году или в early 2017 aim-9x будет на раптрах

The F-22 has for the first time fired a guided AIM-9X
Introduction into the operational fleet is expected in 2017
The US Air Force's (USAF's) F-22 Raptor combat aircraft has fired a guided Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missile for the first time, the USAF announced in a 6 May statement.
USAF test pilots fired two guided AIM-9X missiles earlier this year, but the event was not revealed until now. The first shot was taken on 26 February and the missile successfully shot down a BQM-34 drone.
The second guided firing was conducted on 29 April and targeted a BQM-74 drone. "The second shot was done in a much more stressing flight regime, doing things that only the Raptor can do while employing the AIM-9X," Jeremy Cookson, F-22 Weapons Integration lead engineer, said in the statement.
Lockheed Martin was awarded a USD33.4 million contract in October 2014 to modify the Raptor to carry the AIM-9X. The contract provided for the upgrade of 220 AIM-9 Configurable Rail Launchers (CRLs) to be compatible with the AIM-9X.
Work is being performed at Fort Worth, Texas, and is expected to be completed by early 2017.The AIM-9X has the same rocket motor and warhead as previous versions of the missile, but its guidance section features an imaging infrared seeker. Unlike older variants of the missile, it includes fixed forward canards and smaller fins, as well as a jet-vane steering system for enhanced post-launch agility. Operational F-22s currently carry the AIM-9M.
The two guided test shots mark the beginning of the integration phase of the F-22's AIM-9X test flight programme. The carriage and separations phases were completed earlier with 17 successful releases.
The AIM-9X is already in service with several of the USAF's legacy combat aircraft, including the Boeing F-15C Eagle, F-15E Strike Eagle, F/A-18A+ Hornet, F/A-18C/D Hornet, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon. Integration work on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is also in progress.
