Summary: The MBDA Meteor beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile can reach Mach 4-plus and uses active-radar terminal guidance with a two-way datalink. The article says its defining feature is a large “no-escape zone,” where a maneuvering target cannot evade because the missile still has energy to follow, while exact maximum effective range is classified and depends on launch conditions.
