The main competition of this missile is mid-range semi-active missile AIM-120C from Raytheon, which have the system AMRAAM (Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile). The METEOR has a longer range, improved speed and tracheal displacement contacts, also has several additional technological advances. Here you can see different graphical comparisons between the capabilities of the two missiles.
