What weapons do they use to shoot them down? Guns? Missiles?
Says he used medium range missiles, short range missiles, and then the cannon for the last pair.
Probably the aim-120B or C variant. Though it might make more sense to use a cheaper missile like the aim-9 or aim-7. as a cruise missile isn't maneuvering .
Either AMRAAMs or sidewinders, depending on distance and direction.
