Hopefully all the people in this comment section know that that's what the aim-9 is supposed to do.

[YourTypicalRobloxLarper]

Oh god the AIM-9X is just like the QAAMs

[callsingCLUELESS]

Thats what you call an aim-9x dash 2 it can litteraly shoot an plane behind the f-35 it can just do a full 180 so cool

[germanfuentes]

Imagine being shot by a plane that is in front of you

[mr.brightside]

The missile knows where it is at all times, it knows this because it knows where it isn’t

[NoahCouch-ld]

You know you’re in deep shit when your enemies missile starts to Fox 3 tilt

[locus-]

The missile gains potential energy by going up at high altitudes, once the motor stops burning it uses its potential energy to trade with kinetic therefore hitting the target while gliding

[OkalayaYT]

For everyone's information, what the missile did of going up is to make the missile travel further, climbing to thinner air. This is called lofting.

I wonder how the seeker head stays cool ?does it have an internal cooling system inside the jet? With argon or something? Because the stinger and javelin both have to have the seekers cooled by small tanks of argon.

The Sidewinder locked into the sun while playing dream on

What a beautiful plane and what a clear and nice day 😊 ⚘

That is definitely a AIM-9X missile, the vectoring nozzle there is pretty obvious

THIS IS THE MISSILE THAT TOOK DOWN THE 2X2 WHITE BALLON Truly Clemente

[lamontkeith]

From the glare on the jet it appears the sun is to his right and not straight ahead. So it couldn’t of locked on to the sun, I think it was just a malfunction in the missile which happens more often than u would think

[BouncyBunny-hv]

Long version - it came back and hit the plane.

[prateekyzf]

Does this sidewinder missile make the F-35 visible to Radar?

[winkfinkerstien]

Seriously, over the Gulf of Mexico? What was the target?

[perritoSg]

Pov your misile lock whit the sun in war thunder:

[AdRian-hnpc]

Where is the missile going to be....sun or moon...
