Air to Air combat has evolved a great deal in last two decades. Instead of close-range dogfights, the focus is on beyond visual range (BVR) combat.
The idea is to take out the enemy at long ranges before he can fire.

A missile is considered to be BVR if it can strike at a range of 20 nm or 37 km and beyond. The capability of a BVR missile depends on many aspects like speed, range, size of the kill zone, resistance to jamming, engine performance, sensor capabilities, and in-flight agility.
