Don't speculate nonsense, most probably by R-77 , R-37M is only for AWACS/TANKERS and other big RCS targets
R-37M is very fast. It's very hard to dodge. It can kill F-16 from more than 100 km away.

RCS is too low that R-37M seeker can capture F-16 at that distance, and where is the post says that you refer that it was shot down by BVR, maybe F-16 was shot down BY WVR (within visual range air to air missiles) like R-73R-37M is very fast.

More likely it was R-77 not R-37MIt has mid course update. Active radar homing occurs within 20 km in the no escape zone.

No R-37M is not for replacing R-77, both BVR have a different missionsAA-13 Axehead replace AA-12 Adder. It is far more potent.
