[quote]Well, the SA-6 and RIM-7 Sea Sparrow also have land-attack modes. AGM-87 'Focus' was the IR-homing version designed to home-in on trucks moving at night. AGM-122 were passive radar-guided, often also fitted with parachutes that would allow them to 'loiter' over suspected radar-stations, and you could carry A LOT of them. MIM-72 was the ground-launched version that remained popular until '98 since it was WAY more effective than the redeye.[/quote] I remember reading about the Sidearm previously - I'm sure I read about Apaches using them on some mission during Desert Storm, but I can't find the source now. I'm not even sure that it wasn't a piece of fiction (like a novel or something) without the source. I've read since that the stocks of Sidearms are depleted, with no action taken to create new ones, I guess there's no perceived need for it. Or no money, at least. I hadn't recalled the AGM-87, but the particular program I remembered and was referring to was this one, for the AIM-9X - http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/exclusive-raytheon-adapts-aim-9x-for-air-to-ground-335762/ [quote]Now I'm worried.[/quote] [img]http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--mWfUK_m1--/dirjwlfjugw3bsidu4pl.jpg[/img]
