ISTR the 54 had a continuous rod warhead. Dodging a Mach 4 missile
coming down at you from high above seems sort of problematical - unless it's leaving a smoke trail how do you see it coming? Sure, you got some radar warning - you hope - but the main defense seems to be a) the wetware controlling the launch sequence screwed up and b) system reliability. Employed within proper parameters with a weapons system maintained within specs - even the Hughes radar Falcon could hit the target. Glad I'm retired, since similar systems to the 54 are becoming all too prevalent. W(Way)BVR takes a lot of fun out of the game. Walt BJ |
