Your RNEZ in this example might only be 40miles, meaning that the launch happens at 40 miles separation and the target immediately maneuvers. ^ that would be considered RMAX, not RNEZ, because if the target immediately turns cold or maneuvers when he gets launched on, the missile isn't going to have enough energy to kill the target. The target aircraft might travel 30 miles closer while the missile is in the air, resulting in the missile only traveling 70 miles from it's launch point (just an example) Now, after the missile is fired, while the missile is in the air the enemy aircraft is still closing that distance quite rapidly. That means, yes an AIM120D might have a 100mile (for example only) max range, as in you can fox that missile when you are 100 miles away from your target. So you have two aircraft closing directly at each other at or near mach1, this is the ideal perfect shoot conditions. What you wrote is a bit confusing I think, to clarify for people: Max range for a missile is almost always advertised under high altitude, high speed, nose hot conditions. If the target started closer or farther has no relevancy to the range figure. The latest AIM-120 do have about 100nm range under certain conditions and that means if you mark on a map where the launch and final position are, those two marks will be 100nm apart.
The separation between the launching platform and the target at the moment of launch isn't range. Missile range is always the displacement the missile travels.
