Anyone who knows the answer to this Question Please help me in any way
possible,.

To The Nearest Tenth of a Mile, What is the Maximum Range of a AIM-54A
Phoenix Air to Air Missile?

most military websites claim 100 Nautical miles
while other sites say 110 nautical miles,.

but my friend here claims it is over 200 Nautical miles
Does anyone know the most accurate answer to this question to the
nearest tenth of a mile?

Here comes the "if I told you, I'ld have to kill you jokes" and the
"that's classified and why do you want to know ya' dang spy"


Besides, the nearest tenth would depend very heavily on the exact
engagement parameters: height, speed & course of both the
F-14 and the target. Heck, probably on which particular AIM-54A
and quite possibly which TomCat.

Hmm, I suspect a valid shot solution on a space shuttle coming in
for a landing would depend on the max range setting on the radar:
big RCS, unmanuverable, coming closer really fast but slowing down
to a manageable closing rate for end game.
