The AIM-7 Sparrow is a modern American medium-range air-to-air missile. Its first prototypes appeared in the early 1950s, and it entered the US armed forces in 1956, and it still remains there. The AIM-7 Sparrow is a solid fuel-powered missile with a range of up to 70 kilometers, capable of carrying a warhead weighing 40 kg with a total curb weight of 213 kg. The AIM-7 Sparrow missile was developed by Raytheon and features - modern versions - a semi-active guidance system. The genesis of this type of missile dates back to the mid-1940s, when work on guided air-to-air missiles began on the order of the US Navy. From 1956, successive versions of the Sparrow rocket, designated Sparrow I, II and III, were introduced into equipment, however, they had many "childhood diseases", especially problems with guidance in the earliest versions. In 1963, however, the modernized AIM-7E missile was introduced into service, but it was inferior to the AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles produced in parallel. The AIM-7F Sparrow missile turned out to be a big change in terms of quality, with an effective range of up to 45 kilometers, an effective and reliable guidance system, and a significantly improved propulsion. In the 1980s, another version of the missile was introduced: the AIM-7M, which had a modernized guidance system that was much less susceptible to interference. It is estimated that over 70,000 copies of the Sparrow missile have been produced during the long history of the Sparrow missile. In the US armed forces, it was or is carried by such aircraft as: F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, F-16 C / D Fighting Falcon or F-14 Tomcat. The users of the AIM-7 Sparrow missiles were or are also many other countries, for example: Australia, Egypt, Greece, Jordan, Kuwait, Turkey and the United Kingdom.The AIM-4 Falcon was an American short-range air-to-air missile. Its first prototypes appeared in the late 1940s, and it entered the US armed forces in 1956. The AIM-4 Falcon was a solid fuel-powered missile with a range of up to 9,700 meters, capable of carrying a warhead weighing 12 kg with a total curb weight of 54.4 kg. The AIM-4 Falcon missile was developed by Hughes Aircraft in response to US Air Force demand for a guided missile with supersonic velocity. The manufacturer used semi-active radar guidance in it. In order to reduce the weight of the missile, Hughes used plastic elements made of glass fiber in the AIM-4 Falcon, which was a rare production solution at that time (late 1940s). The first mass-produced version of this missile was the AIM-4, later it entered the production of the AIM-4B, guided by its own thermal warhead. Both versions, however, were clearly limited in maneuverability and their use against maneuverable Soviet fighters could have ended in failure. Therefore, the development of two more versions (AIM-4C and AIM-4A) in which this feature of the missile was clearly improved. There were also new versions of the missile (AIM-4 D, E and F), which had a changed rocket propulsion and a higher maximum speed. In the US armed forces, AIM-4 was carried by such planes as: F-89 Scorpion, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-101 Voodoo and F-4 Phantom II. The users of the AIM-4 missiles were also other countries, for example: Sweden or Canada.The AGM-12 Bullpup was an American air-to-ground and air-to-water missile from the Cold War period. Its first prototypes appeared in the mid 1950s, and mass production began in 1959 and continued until 1970. The AGM-12 was a missile with a range of 5,000 to 12,000 meters, capable of carrying a warhead weighing from 113 to 453 kg, and its total mass - depending on the version - ranging from 259 to 810 kg. The AGM-12 Bullpup was created in response to the US Navy's post-Korean demand (1950-1953) for a missile capable of destroying surface targets from a distance safe for the carrier aircraft. The AGM-12 was originally based on a 113 kg bomb body, but a rocket engine and a guidance system were added to it. The latter was the line of sight guidance system and required constant eye contact of the operator with the target (the so-called MCLOS guidance). Several versions of the AGM-12 missile were developed in the course of serial production. The first to be produced on a large scale was the AGM-12A. The next version is AGM-12B, which had a liquid fuel drive, which allowed to increase the range and the transferred head. A version of the AGM-12D was also developed, which was planned to be equipped with a nuclear warhead W-45 with a capacity of up to 15 kT. Based on this version, the AGM-12C model was created, which had a conventional warhead. The last version of the AGM-12 missile was the E model with an anti-tank warhead. AGM-12 Bullpups were used by many American aircraft, including: A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, F-8 Crusader and F-4 Phantom II. Missiles of this type were also used in Australia, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Turkey and Great Britain. They were used on a relatively large scale during the Vietnam War in 1964 / 1965-1975.The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a modern American short-range air-to-air missile. Its first prototypes appeared in the early 1950s, and it entered the US armed forces in 1955/1956, remaining there today. The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a missile with a range of up to 35 kilometers, capable of carrying a warhead weighing 9.4 kg with a total curb weight of 91 kilograms. The AIM-9 Sidewinder proved to be the first effective and combatable air-to-air missile in the history of the US military. Raytheon was primarily responsible for its development, but also Philco and General Electric. Many variants of this missile were created in the course of serial production. One of the most important was the AIM-9L, which was put into service in 1977. It could track the enemy plane no matter what direction it was launched towards it (from the side, from below, etc.). It also had much better guidance systems than the previous versions. The latest version is the AIM-9X, which was first tested in 1999. AIM-9X can be used in all weather conditions, day and night, it can also be launched without prior "lighting" the target. It is characterized by a very high degree of maneuverability and high resistance to jamming. In the US armed forces, AIM-9 missiles of various versions were or are carried by such aircraft and helicopters as, for example: F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F-16 C / D Fighting Falcon or AH-64 Apache. The users of the AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were or are also many other countries, for example: Australia, Belgium, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Kuwait, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Missiles of this type were used in combat, among others during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), the Falklands War in 1982 and during the Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991).
