However, AIM-120 missiles have a number of disadvantages, such as limited fuel supply, vulnerability for obstacles and intercepting, as well as low efficiency against maneuverable goals. The AIM-260 missiles should eliminate these shortcomings and provide air advantage over potential rivals such as China and Russia. These ammunition has a more compact size and weight that allows them to be placed inside the fuselage of the aircraft or UAV, improving aerodynamics and secrecy.
In addition, AIM-260 missiles have a more powerful engine and a more sophisticated guide system, which increases flight range and accuracy. The new development will allow drones to fight any aircraft opponents without inferior to the combat characteristics of the pilot aircraft. AIM-260 can even be installed on helicopters and attack both ground and marine targets. One of the main functions is the possibility of self -destruction so that the ammunition does not fall into the hands of the enemy.
