In this photo, an F-16 at Hill Aire Force Base in Utah launches the first AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAMM) in 1998. These versatile missiles can perform in any type of weather day or night and are used in modern warfare.

Fired from the air to hit other airborne targets, these AMRAMMs are considered “fire and forget” missiles by the U.S. Navy and Air Force, which implies that they are dispensable weapons. Around 35 U.S. allies also utilize these missiles in the aerial divisions of their respective militaries.
