It can carry four infrared-guided surface to air missiles and has a range of approximately 700 km.

Furthermore, the Chinese added the capability to fire laser- and infrared-guided shells; this required significant changes to the magazine.

The current material of choice for high-speed infrared-guided missile domes is single-crystal sapphire.

The aim is to make the infrared-guided missile seek out the heat signature from the flare rather than the aircraft's engines.

Military slang for an infrared-guided air-to-air missile.

While cruise missiles can negotiate inclement weather without difficulty, more precise weapons like laser-guided and infrared-guided bombs cannot.

TWO - infrared-guided missile.

Engine exhausts, which are radar targets as well as attractants for infrared-guided missiles, are also concealed.

Infrared-guided projectiles are another possibility, but a single-feed design would reduce the rate of fire if mixed with unguided projectiles.

The systems will protect aircraft and crews from shoulder-fired, vehicle-launched, and other advanced infrared-guided missile threats during dangerous low-altitude operations.

The standard aerial weapon for beyond visual range engagements is the AA-12/R-77, but the aircraft can also carry infrared-guided AA-10s.

Fox Two - Indicates launch of an infrared-guided missile (such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder).

The NATO brevity code for an air-to-air infrared-guided missile launch is "Fox Two".

Future high-speed infrared-guided missiles will require new domes that are substantially more durable than those in use today, while still retaining maximum transparency across a wide wavelength range.

As the infrared-guided Sidewinder would be of limited use against aircraft or missiles approaching head-on, they were forced to use the AIM-7 Sparrow instead.

Likewise, France began its own air-to-air missile development with the MICA concept that used a common airframe for separate radar-guided and infrared-guided versions.

American forces employed a total of 622 precision munitions, consisting of 567 laser-guided bombs, 42 electro-optical or infrared-guided weapons, and 13 Tomahawk Land Attack cruise missiles.

Whereas there are probably hundreds of shoulder-fired heat-seeking missiles on the black market, these long-range infrared-guided missiles are strictly accounted for and never given or sold to another country.

At short range, the ideal position is to the rear of the enemy aircraft, where it is unable to aim or fire weapons and the hot exhaust makes a good target for infrared-guided missiles.

Large Aircraft Infrared Counter-Measure system (LAIRCM) was a requirement for protecting Large Aircraft from infrared-guided missiles.

Some of the rockets streamed pieces of tinsel that would act as bright radar-reflectors, while others would spew globes of burning phosphorus that would decoy an infrared-guided missile.

They fired their radar-and infrared-guided missiles at the MiGs trying to vector toward the returning fighter-bombers-but the American fighters still had their aerial radars to direct them, and the Soviets did not.

Their own fire-control radars were nearly useless as they approached, but half their missiles were infrared-guided, and the American bombers gave off enough heat to attract the attention of a blind man in a fur coat.

Instead of using unguided or more traditional laser-guided bombs, the Italian Air Force used dozens of Mk 82 bombs fitted with Opher Israeli guidance kits, effectively converting the "dumb" bombs into an infrared-guided bomb.

She carried two more Lluyka in-flight refueling tanks on the wing pylons plus two radar-guided missiles on wing pylons and, this time, two infrared-guided mis- siles on hardpoints on the underside of the fuselage.

Infrared-homing AAMs saw their fields of view expand to 45 , which strengthened their tactical usability.

Usually two of them were R-4R with semi-active radar homing and two were R-4T infrared-homing missile, with the former on the outer pylons and the latter on the inner underwing pylons.

Under a secret effort designated Operation Black Magic, the U.S. Navy had provided the ROC with the AIM-9 Sidewinder, its first infrared-homing air-to-air missile, which was just entering service with the United States.

Some of the North's advanced J-7 and MiG-29 fighters purchased from China had infrared tracking devices and infrared-homing missiles, so radar wasn't necessary close-in, but it was still very strange for an attacker to charge blindly into enemy territory without using radar.
