Sidewinders have been around since the 50's, yes they are the go to short range missile for a long time now, as far as the US is concerned.

They have just been continuously upgraded of course.

Right but the sidewinder alone is less important than the ability to fire the missile via high-offboresight targeting.

Right now I am just hungry to talk about military or geopolitical shit, especially if it is a laid-back attitude.

Testing work on the AIM-9X Block II version began in September 2008.[23] The Block II adds Lock-on After Launch capability with a datalink, so the missile can be launched first and then directed to its target afterwards by an aircraft with the proper equipment for 360 degree engagements, such as the F-35 and F-22.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-9_Sidewinder#cite_note-24

Holyfuck is this some sweet fucking shit. Air-to-air combat must be a real fucking shark pool now.

Elite stole your taco, but I guess he saved you from getting caught, I imagine you run as fast as I do these days.

if he eats enough tacos he will be slow too, then we can catch him and turn him in to soylent green!! all part of the plan...
