| ALARM AIR LAUNCHED ANTI-RADIATION MISSILE
| |
| This is the original prototype version of the British ALARM Anti-Radar missile. The later production model can be distinguished by its blunter nose cone and the bulge of a sensor blister near the nose. When fired at an enemy radar source, the enemy can often detect the incoming missile and switch off their equipment, thereby depriving the missile of a target. When this happens, the ALARM either switches to a back-up target, or immediately changes course... straight up. At 40,000 feet it stops and swings to a head-down orientation, suspended by a small parachute. Then it waits. Eventually the enemy position decides the missile must have impacted somewhere by now, so they turn their radar equipment back on to take a look. At this point the missile releases its parachute and slams in for a nearly unstoppable kill. Our model is painted in the original bright cherry red with black accent stripping. It's over 44 inches tall, and although it can be flown on a D12-3 black powder motor, but flies best on Aerotech's "E" or "F" composite fuel motors. The performance is fantastic! Skill level: 3 - 4
Length: 44.5" Motors: D12-3, or Aerotech E15-4, E30-7, RMS F24-4 |  |
