Missiles against marauding aircraft

There was always a need to defend against invading aircraft carrying bombs to be dropped, and their action was possible because their speed was medium, and their bombs were conventional explosives. But it happened in the last year of the last World War that jet bomb planes appeared, thus increasing their speed, and they were able to rise in the air to a height of 50,000 feet or more. Above this and that, atomic bombs appeared, and these jet planes were able to carry them.

As a result, the United States created a missile missile against these aircraft. Its missiles are two missiles together, the first has solid fuel, and the second has liquid fuel. This is the Nike-Ajax missile.

It is accompanied, of course, by a guidance system, which includes two radar beams, one of which is constantly in contact with this marauding enemy aircraft, and the other with the missile projectile launched from the ground to receive and destroy it. The defending ground men have a calculator that receives signals from the radars and calculates how far the missile should be directed to meet the plane. It then sends radio signals via a wireless transmitter to the control devices in the missile, which diverts its course until it meets the invading aircraft. Then you will be ordered to explode
Something like what we previously described.

The Russians have missiles like this, which are fired from the ground to the air, and include a guidance system like the one we mentioned. Among this is the Russian missile that the Americans call, and it was used extensively in the Vietnamese War.

Perhaps the missile that became famous in the Vietnam War under the name Sam 2 is similar to this one, or perhaps it is it.

- Missiles against aircraft that fly low over the roofs of houses:

War scientists and technology have mastered the rocket missiles that strike marauding aircraft that fly high in the sky. Because of this, these planes were forced to fly so low that they almost touched the rooftops of houses in populated areas, or the tops of trees in forests, so that the radar would not detect them as they arrived. With this surprise, it does not give the radar devices enough time, even a short time, to link their radar to the attacking aircraft and to launch the necessary missile projectile and the subsequent defense action.

The defenders must then devise another missile to repel the evil of these low-lying jet bombers.

(The American missile missile called (Minute Man) is the one that replaced the two large missiles, the Atlas and the Titan. It is a missile that carries the nuclear bomb between the continents and its range exceeds 7,000 miles. Its missile consists of 3 missiles, one on top of the other. It is hidden in its underground housings. From there it is launched or It is carried on carts whose resting place the enemies do not know.)

The Americans succeeded in this.
The Russians succeeded in this.
In which the Americans succeeded, they called it the American Hawk. The most important thing about it is that its guidance system has a radar that can receive everything that is reflected to it in terms of radio waves, from the tops of houses, the tops of trees, etc., as well as from airplanes as they move, but it is so accurate that it distinguishes between moving ones and stationary ones.

This is undoubtedly what the Russians made, and perhaps it is the missile that became known as Sam 3, at the Suez Canal, and the enemy feared that it would prevent his planes from crossing beyond it, into the depths of the valley, into the depths of Egypt.

(The American Hawk missile, which is for defense against low-flying aircraft, has a special radar that distinguishes between the images that appear on its panel of fixed objects such as rooftops and treetops.)

(A missile fired by one man from a tube he carries on his shoulder, to protect his battalion from enemy planes traveling at a low level, where there are no other forces to defend. It is similar to a bazooka fired at a tank by one soldier.)

(A picture of an American missile called Vigilant, which is small. It targets a tank and penetrates its steel body before exploding. It is waved by signals that reach it via a wire connecting it to the guidance device of the single soldier who launched it.)
