![]() The UK incorporated the design of "Lift-body" to the ASRAAM, and although the off-boresight capability and the high-G maneuver capability (50G) of ASRAAM are a little worse than the NG western WVRAAM with TVC and / or complex aerodynamic designs such as AIM-9X, IRIS-T, and Pythoon IV, its extremely low-drag design and the larger 160 mm rocket make it have the better speed performance (maximal speed: 3.5~4.2 mach) and the longer effective (>25 km) and no-escape ranges. There are two kinds of WVRAAMs for the Eurofighter in the near-term future: ASRAAM for the EF-2000s of UK only, and IRIS-T for the EF-2000s of German, Italy, and Spain.
