yam[25] - Sidewinder {1 of 2}
Originally developed back in 1953, this American built air-to-air missile is now relatively cheap, versatile & does it's job, so is likely to stay in the armoury for some further decades ...
Used in over 17 conflicts, inc the Falklands [19 of the 21 "kills" by British Harriers used sidewinders] and currently by the Ukrainians in their defence after being illegally invaded by ru55ia in 2022.
