Around 2120 AIM-9G were built by Raytheon from 1970 to 1972. [17] The AIM-9G would be used with its predecessor, the AIM-9D, during the Vietnam War, as the US Navy's choice of IR missile. A 46% hit rate with the AIM-9G during Operation Linebackers I and II in 1972 was achieved, of which 14 aircraft were MiG-17s and the other 7 were MiG-21s.
