"The Sidewinder"

"The Sidewinder" is a highly effective heat-seeking missile used by the U.S. military, primarily for targeting aircraft and vehicles. It utilizes an infrared sensor to detect and home in on the heat signature of its target, allowing it to strike accurately even in challenging conditions. Designed for portability and ease of use, the Sidewinder is launched from aircraft and guided automatically toward its target once locked in. Its reliability and precision have made it a standard weapon in modern defense systems.
