The only ones I could pick out is the f-14, mig-31 and Rafael. This is due to the on board radar system right?
Multiple target simultaneous engagement at BVR requires 2 main things, a radar capable of operating in Track While Scan mode and active radar guided missiles. A data link for mid course updates to be supplied to the missiles also helps.
Pretty much any western fighter with a full amraam fit is capable of it and the mirage 2000-5 and later had it with MICA. It was a capability worth shouting about up until the late 90s when the European f-16 MLU programs kicked off.
