Missiles
Missiles are a self-propelled guided weapon system. Missiles have four system components: targeting and/or guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank), surface-to-air (anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic), air-to-air, and anti-satellite missiles.

How do you avoid heat seeking missiles when flying an aircraft?
When flying an aircraft like helicopters or airplanes ,to avoid heat seeking missiles
you just have to turn off the engine and problem solved!
A correct answer not mislead by Hollywood:There are three ways that are commonly used to avoid heat seeker's.- Passive: this is done by shielding the hot exhaust from the heat seeking system on the missile. The stealth bomber uses this system
- Flairs: The aircraft being fired upon puts out one or usually many flairs that burn white hot to attract the missile away from the aircraft. This is fitted to almost every US military aircraft.
- Maneuver: The idea is to have the missile get close enough and then make a turn or other maneuver the missile cant follow. This usually requires several turns done exactly right to get the desired effect.
What options did the US have to counter the soviets to build up missiles in Cuba?
They advised the Soviet Union that an attack on the US from Cuba would be considered as an attack by the Soviet Union- and response would be to the Soviet union, not just to Cuba. The US also implemented a blockade of shipping going to Cuba- no ship carrying missiles would be allowed to go TO Cuba.
How deadly are the nuclear submarine's missiles?
Their yields are about the same as most land based ICBM warheads or bombs dropped by airplanes: from 100 kiloton to 300 kilotons. Yields in the megaton range as were common in the 1950s through 1970s have been shown to have few real military uses and more damage can be done using several bombs of less total yield at lower cost using warheads in the 100 kiloton to 300 kiloton range.
Deaths will depend on too many variables outside the characteristics of the warheads/bombs themselves, including the target, burst height, availability of shelters, emergency preparedness of the population, etc.
What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the Titan II missile?
Both stages of the Titan II rocket used Aerozine-50 (a combination of 50% UDMH [unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine] and 50% MMH (monomethylhydrazine) as the fuel, and dinitrogen tetroxide as the oxidizer.
Interestingly, the LR-87 engines that powered the first stage of Titan II, as well as the LR-91 engine that powered the second stage, were both also capable of burning two other combinations of propellant - LH2 (liquid hydrogen) and LOX (liquid oxygen) as well as RP-1 (kerosene) and LOX.
Which country has the best missile defense system?
Missile defense systems which can intercept launched missiles before they land come in two flavors:
In terms of long-range Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) systems which are employed in case of long-range nuclear warfare, the United States, Israel, and People's Republic of China have the most advanced technologies in the area.
In terms of regional missile defense, the United States, Russia, People's Republic of China, France, and India have such systems.
Notes:
Although the United Kingdom has both long-range and short-range missile defense systems, their usage and development rely heavily on the guidance of the United States. Similar cases include regional missile defense systems stationed in Japan nand the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Russia, being a large cross-continental country can relocate its anti-missile systems anywhere within the state territory, thus, eliminating the need of developing long-range missile defense.
European states, due to their lesser sizes (destroyed much too quickly in a nuclear war), proximity (easily reached by a short or medium-range missile from a neighbouring state) and protection from the United States (NATO and other defense treaties), do not have the immediate reason to develop long-range missile defense.
When was the first missile invented?
GERMANY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GUIDED MISSILES USED IN WORLD WAR 2 BY monelle and devonta sanders

What is a submarine missile called starts with a T?
Tamahawk® Cruise Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is an all-weather, long range, subsonic cruise missile used for land attack warfare, launched from U. S. Navy surface ships and U.S. Navy and Royal Navy submarines. It is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads.
What was China's reaction to Cuban missiles crisis?
Red China and the Soviet Union were not only allies during the cold war; they were often rivals too. They "watched" this "confrontation" very closely.
Assuming that you are talking about real life, and not a video game, there is no real way for anything under a large company or large government to build an ICBM. Ignoring this, the following steps are a preliminary overview: 1. Determine mission objectives (how many miles need to fly)
2. Develop propulsion system (probably solid rocket, liquid possible)
3. Develop guidence system (inertial or GPS?)
4. Develop delivery system (MIRV or single warhead?)
Hot gases from the combustion of the fuel and oxidizer mixture.
How have rockets improved and changed over time?
Since the earliest days of discovery and experimentation, rockets have evolved from simple gunpowder devices into giant vehicles capable of traveling into outer space. Rockets have opened the universe to direct exploration by humankind.
AIR!!! well , you see, air is there, but is actually carbon dioxide and oxygen. We breath in oxygen and produce carbon doixide. There are also other substances in the air, such as car exhausts (also carbon dioxide, amongst others, like nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide et al) and others from the chemical works. I hope this helps you on your way to learning!! Gym teachers know why!! To fill up basketballs and volleyballs... (loosly quoted from a Bill Cosby comedy routine.) "Why is there air" is an album of Bill Cosby which won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 1996.

Are predator missiles and semtex grenades in mw2 real?
Not so much predator missiles but theres something called a MQ-1 Predator
And as for semtex grenades. They could easily be made but i dont think they would stick to a person as well as they do in mw2
