The AIM-132 Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile is a British infrared homing ("heat seeking") air-to-air missile. It is currently in service in the Royal Air Force RAF and RAAF, replacing the AIM-9 Sidewinder in those services. And is so good that the spams want to stick it on the F-35 Lightning II
It is being used on the Tornado, Harrier, Eurofighter Typhoon and Hornet
