BVR Missile Ranges

Depends which range you mean. ER and ET are actually one and the same missile with different seeker (semi-active vs IR) so in theory their range in terms of flight envelope should be the same. The 77 I'd put in the same boat as 27R/7M while the 530D in between those short sticks and 120B.

Being fire-and-forget for an IR missile it's natural the effective range to depend on the seeker/target IR signature while the semi-active depends on radar lock. Other than that the R-27E() missile variants share the same body (rocket motor, warhead, controls).
