Sidewinder missiles are heat seeking air to air missiles, not radar guided air to ground. One version of the Sidewinder the AIM-9C, had a semi-active radar guidance system and was eventually transformed into the Sidearm air to ground anti-radiation missile. I don't believe there are any in use anymore but I've had my hand on one at our Base Museum. But your point is correct - it is bad info in the article. The Brits would be using ALARM anyways. BB | ||
