Meteor AAM Video Pr0n

It highlights the better endgame kinematics and range available with a ramjet powered missile.

One of the things that surprises me is just how much smoke the initial booster puts out relative to the AMRAAM, which would increase launch platform visibility in visual range.

(Reportedly 2km)

The music is a little bet better than most of these promotional videos:
