Missiles

If your talking about commercial planes they don't. You know about it when it hits you. If your talking fighter jets they either use flares or sonic disruptors or they turn of their radar. Even so these are very rare experiences so don't fret about them.

The majority of military aircraft are equipped with either infrared flares for use against heat-seeking anti-aircraft weapons, chaff for use against radar guided anti-aircraft weapons or electronic countermeasures to deceive radar, infrared or laser guided anti-aircraft weapons.

Small and maneuverable aircraft, such as fighter jets can combine deploying countermeasures with air combat maneuvers to help deceive on-coming missiles and improve survivability.

I got this from:http://www.missilethreat.com/repository/imgLib/icbm%20comparison%20chart%20small%20labeled%20%20%20mda.jpg

There is an example of the Germans using the first air launched guided missile in WW2. The Katushia rocket and the Nebelwerfewr were missile systems of sorts. The V1 & V2 Rockets were missiles, the V2 went into sub-space in flight.

The bazooka and missile launcher are the same in that they are portable, infantry deployed anti-armor weapons. (They can be used againsed fortified positions, too.) The bazooka, however, relies on the accuracy of the operator to put the munition on target. The modern missile launcher uses (not surprisingly) a missile, which is a guided munition. The projectile in a bazooka was a rocket, which is generally considered an unguided(except for the "aiming" of the weapon) munition. There is no attempt made here to confuse anyone, but the difference in weapons boils down to the difference between a rocket and a missile. And it is hoped that things were made clear. There are links below for further information, including pictures. The web also has posted in a number of places short clips of missile launchers in operation, and a link can be found below to footage of the M9 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher (the "Bazooka"). Missiles, because of their sophisticated electronic guidance systems, cost a lot more money per "shot" than the rocket-propelled shaped charge launched from a bazooka. That's why we see rocket-propelled grenades and similar munitions still on the battlefield today. These munitions are cheaper, lighter, easier to make and are, therefore, used broadly by modern "under-funded" and "unofficial" military units like Al-Qaeda and others.

After an American U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets, Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.

The Soviet Union built 4 new classes of submarine-launched ballistic missiles and over 60 new missile submarines.

Some can fly at Mach 3-6 while anti-ballistic missiles can achieve Mach 10

The Third Reich.

its not spud but "SCUD" missile.its a Russian missile but in NATOs code its called a scud missile.it was developed during the cold war.

For air-to-air missions, an F-22 would typically be armed with two AIM-9 Sidewinders in side bays and six AIM-120 AMRAAMs in a main weapons bay leading to a total of eight, but for missions involving close air support and conducting airstrikes four of the AMRAAMs would be replaced with either two GBU-31 JDAM guided bombs or eight GBU-39 small diameter bombs, totaling it to four missiles and two or eight bombs.

Nuclear missiles leave the earth's atmosphere for some time. Intercontinental missiles, for example require the missile to ascend to 1,000 feet to assure that it will reach it's intended target.

They are invented By the Germans. Atleast for combat.

Rarely are missiles tested with actual nuclear warheads. It would be utter foolishness and very dangerous to do so before the missile was tested and proven reliable first. The warhead(s) are usually replaced with radio telemetry devices or a satellite, during development testing of the missile, to verify its performance and reliability. This makes it very easy to codevelop a peaceful rocket for launching spacecraft and a military ICBM in the same project, if you already have or are developing nuclear explosives.

Just think of the warheads the US could have put on Apollo Project type Saturn-IB boosters had we so chosen to use them as ICBMs!

An anti-tank missile is accelerating from the moment the rocket motor is ignited. That means it is going faster and faster at each moment until it strikes its target or runs out of fuel. Most missile systems possess this characteristic, that is, they don't have a cited "top speed" because of the variability of the speed reached based on the distance to target. In the case of just one missile system, the Javelin (and not the surface-to-air one), the missile has a 2,500 metre range, and can get easily achieve mach numbers at longer ranges within its designed reach.

In the past, highly enriched uranium (cca. 99 % uranium 235); but now nuclear weapons generally have plutonium.

The closest we came to a nuclear confrontation with Russia that I know of, was under John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Blockade in 1962.

Ballistic missiles can reach up to 5000km Ballistic missiles can reach up to 5000km

a rocket is an unguided weapon while a missile is a optically/ wire guided/ radar/ heat tracking weapon which is designed for precision targeting.

ie:

rocket pod on an AH-64 (no guidance)

or

Javelin missile ( Heat Tracking)
