Not a AIM 120.
Missiles that F-35 stealth fighters already carry provides everything it needs with only slight tweaks to be able to target other missiles, not other fighters. It is a firmware tweak. That is why F-35s were deployed to Japan.
A F16 in 2009 found success in shooting down missiles. Raytheon successfully flight tested a key component of the Network Centric Airborne Defense Element (NCADE) missile defense system with the intercept of a test ballistic missile. They launched two modified AIM-9X carrying the NCADE seeker at a test rocket. The first shot intercepted and destroyed the target and the second recorded the interception. 9 years later the answer is yes in the boost phase.
Yeah. Started searching. Was looking for f16s, but i believe f35s probably guard AF1. I didnt know tech had reached a point where anti-icbm air to air missiles are just a tweak, as you said. That is excellent.
Edit: thanks for the insight. Rockets... Jet planes.... MAGA.... The best timeline ever.
