minus-squareClay_pidgin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoQuite short range for such a missile. Are there guided missiles in a much smaller class?
minus-squareLaFinlandia@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoThe AIM-9L/M is significantly smaller and cheaper.
minus-squareWarl0k3@lemmy.worldBanned from communitylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoYeah, and this took some SKILL. 120s course correct far more gradually than 9s, so they had to be just dead on target for this. Amazing work.
