is "transciever" a typo? shouldn't it be "transceiver"? (clem 20:53, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Best kill propablities?

Active radar homing missiles have some of the best kill probabillities...

I challenge that statement. Actually I think that radar homing missiles have pretty low kill proabilites, just look at the history of AIM7 and compare it to the AIM9. While radar homers have cought up they are still not that great. The low (compared to infrared or optical sensors) resolution, resulting from small seeker diameters and long wavelength, the active nature, the current trend of reduced radar signatures and enhancements in ECM makes it comparably easy to decoy them and this won't change much in future (IMHO). But of course, you can prove me wrong with some qualified sources. - Alureiter 14:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
