lock on and destroy, but it is an entire missile system.

That kind of mission is usually flown by planes especially equipped
for it & dedicated to it (ie not flying around with other kinds of
weapons aboard).

I was thinking that the cop was lucky there wasn't anybody with a
SLQ-32vIII in the neighborhood. One of those would melt that speed-
sensing radar like a cheese sandwich, no missile required.

defense system is a chaff/flare dispenser not a missile launcher. This fag

a thing.


Prob'ly not.
