I agree. The Project Trigger Team studied this:
https://media.defense.gov/2009/Aug/14/2001330300/-1/-1/0/AFD... Then came the air war over Vietnam, and the fighter crews there soon realized that AIM-7 shots beyond visual range were often more dangerous to other Americans than to the enemy, because there was no (sure) way to identify the target as friend or foe. For a more "modern" war:
https://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/feature/5/18... During the Gulf War, the US Air Force launched AIM-7M and AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missile for BVR attack under the condition of "one-way transparency", but the hitting rate was less than 30 percent. |
