9X will be available sooner than later.

An interesting bit of trivia about the AIM-9X

Sidewinder’s Surface Attack Capability

The U.S. Air Force has evaluated the use of AIM-9X and AIM-9X Block I missiles against surface targets, employing the missile’s imaging sensor as a surface target seeker. The first test was conducted in March 2007, as a U.S. Air Force F-15C fired an AIM-9X and destroyed a fast-moving armored personnel carrier. In April 2008, a U.S. Air Force F-16 launched an AIM-9X and sank a maneuvering boat. This was repeated in September 2009 with an AIM-9X fired from a U.S. Air Force F-16C fighter sinking a rapidly moving target boat in the Gulf of Mexico. However, this surface attack capability tested again with the Block I version in March and May 2010 delivered mixed results. The tests included seven captive carry flights and six live fire tests, and achieved 66% success rate. Four missiles scored direct hits of the ground mobile targets, one hit a different target than fired against, and one lost track on the selected target.

Hmm....

The question is why would you use a $100,000 missile to destroy a cheap a$$ armored personal carrier?

For sinking boats maybe.....

What if intelligence confirms that the APC in question is carrying a high value target ?

By the way the cost of AIM-9X is $362,000

362,000......even better for the sake of my argument....

What i mean is that for a potential valuable target you can use all you want, but if the concept is anti-tank and anti-armor role, then it is too costly. Simpler Anti-Tank weapons will do the job just fine.
