How good are modern air-to-air missiles?

Описание: Imagine you're a fighter pilot locking on to an enemy aircraft with a radar-guided air-to-air missile like America's AIM-120 AMRAAM... if you pull the trigger, what are the chances of a hit?

These days? Pretty likely... but that hasn't always been the case.

NOTE: With the exception of the AIM-7 (combat stats from Vietnam) these success rates indicate chances of finding their target in the absence of countermeasures.
