The South Africans didn't have BVRs either, and Botswana was rather poor in the mid 1980s. Sidewinders, preferably all-aspect ones, would be all they needed. The South Africans only had the Kukris, remember.
Well, that was part of the reason the US held off on selling AMRAAMs to the Australians for their Hornets. They didn't want to be introducing them into the area. The logic was that if they sold them to the RAAF, then the Indonesians would buy the equivalent from Russia or China for their MiG 29s.
