Wiki

The Sidewinder is the most widely used air-to-air missile in the West, with more than 110,000 missiles produced for the U.S. and 27 other nations, of which perhaps one percent have been used in combat. It has been built under license by some other nations including Sweden, and can even equip helicopters, such as the Bell AH-1Z Viper. The AIM-9 is one of the oldest, least expensive, and most successful air-to-air missiles, with an estimated 270 aircraft kills in its history of use. When firing a Sidewinder, NATO pilots use the brevity code FOX-2.

How to use

• Take the sidewinder by the pylon
• Create a subassembly
• Attach the pylon on any plane, but leave some room between the missile and the wing or fuselage of your aircraft (This helps prevent the missile hitting your aircraft upon launch)

You can use this missile for any of your posts without crediting me, but please upvote the build if you do

    @Inuyasha8215 Lol I hardly ever get any upvotes for posts. I have even more weapons on my account like a cluster bomb, some ground attack stuff, and more air to air, but everything with the exception of the cluster bomb never got upvotes. I might release an f16 soon so hopefully that gets some though.
