    The aim260 is in opeval, it’s basically a smaller Phoenix (except, you know, with a good seeker).

    Also they have the aim 174 (I think that’s the number), which is an sm6 upper stage strapped to an f18, basically like shooting a telephone pole at someone from 200km+ away.

    We were slow getting started, but we’re getting there.
