Hi from your chosen selection of weapons  only the AIM 120 is likely to fire and is suitable fro ground to air use . However this depends completely on the design of the craft,  you appear too have some arrangement of missile rails , each missile has a maximum off bore sight region in which it can fire, if the target is outside this  then it simply cannot be fired by the AI,  for good reason, if the AI  did fire  at an extreme angle there's a better than even chance that the missile would not make the turn to the target and therefore be wasted. Add to that , from your images  the aircraft is approaching from behind the target, at an altitude that means it'll never come into that off bore sight area, then it's not going to work

I suggest using the jeans turret for your craft.

Also the jernas turret dose not turn when guard mode fires missiles from it

Does it attempt to track the target?

Try manually fly the plane around the turret and see what happens.

The craft fires missiles but the turret doesn’t move

Hi , i've just run some( half a dozen or more)  tests using the Jernas turret  and aim 120's  Using only the built in Jernas radar the missile turret behaved correctly , tracking locking and firing on the target as expected .

I did not notice anything untoward, which leaves me to believe you have an issue with your  creation or your game.  Ensure that missiles are set to decouple forward when using a missile turret, most  radar guided Air to air missiles will work  as  ground launched. Heat seekers and Harms  are  not very good unless specifically configured for ground to air.  Also make sure the weap has enough EC available , low EC or no EC will produce poor results

KSP 1.2.2 ? if so  there's not a lot that can be done for obsolete versions of KSP  and at that time BDA was in a bad place, BahaD  had just quit and the mod was in need of some serious work  (and IIRC all KSP versions from 1- 2..blergh where pretty buggy, if you must run older KSP run a good one not a naff one.   KSP 131 for example is certainly the standout as far as stability goes )

Experience and practice

Configuring a missile requires experience, but also, if you want your missile to blow planes, allow it to engage air.
