aim-9 sidewinder
AIM-9 Sidewinder
Length: 112.2"
Weight: 193 lb
Range: 12 miles
Speed: 2+ Mach
The Sidewinder is an
all-aspect infrared-
seeking missile.
Production of the
Sidewinder began
in 1956, but it
remains in use today.
Many improvements
have been made over
the years, particularly
in the guidance system
and the warhead. The
AIM-9 remains one of
the mainstays of
Western air-to-air
armaments and will
probably remain so
into the next century.
