Comparative Ranges and explanation

All the values and ranges I'm using are all calculated relative to the BIS Short Range missile class:

HERE IS THE LOGIC.

Just like the SRAAMs most of BIS' values for MRAAM aren't much different than the ammo_Missile_MediumRangeAABase class values. This time we dont have to assume as much.

BIS actually has an AIM-120C and D. But we will use the AIM-120C as our datum.

Assumption #1 - With a bit of research you can find that the 'average' range of the real world short range air-to-air missiles (SRAAM) comes to something like 16km.
Assumption #2 - In the armaverse 5000m (5Km) is equivalent to 16000m (16km) in the real world. The 5000m comes from the max range BIS specified.

Now comes the maths:

   (Real World MAX Range) / (Assumed Average Range) = "RangeRatio"  

For example the Aim-9M max range is given as ~20km. So:

   (20km) / (16km) = "1.25" 

Now we have the “RangeRatio” we can multiply that by BIS's 5km max range value to give us the 'Adjusted/scaled range' for our new missile.

   (BIS MaxRange) * (RangeRatio) = "NewScaledRange"
 
   (5km) / (1.25) = "6.25 (Km)" = "6250m"
