As far as I know, the AIM-95 was all aspect capable, had a high off-boresight capability, thrust-vectoring, and could be directed by a helmet mounted sight.  My question is, assuming it's not classified, did it's infrared sensor use an electro-optic system like the AIM-9X where it could actually see a "picture" of an aircraft and would therefore be impervious to jamming, or was it still more primitive like the AIM-9?
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.
