The '''AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)''' is a [[United States]] [[air-to-air missile]]. It was developed as a next-generation missile to equip many [[NATO]] [[aircraft]].
The AMRAAM has advanced targeting capability; it can hit an enemy from 30 miles away at a speed of Mach 4. Avoiding one is extremely difficult, because the missile has excellent maneuverablity and sophisticated [[avionics]]. One was first used in combat in 1992, when a [[F-16]] used one to shoot down a [[MiG-25]] over [[Iraq]]. It is operated by Britain and Germany, as well as the [[Marine Corps]], [[United States Navy|Navy]], and [[United States Air Force|Air Force]].
It was developed to replace the [[AIM-7 Sparrow]] and its series.
