AGM-90 Sentinel

The AGM-90 "Sentinel"

Born out of the enduring success of the AGM-86, the backbone of America's long-range strike capability since the Cold War. As the B-52 Stratofortress continued to evolve, so too did the need for a more advanced cruise missile that could navigate modern air defenses. Engineers sought to enhance the range, stealth, and precision of the AGM-86 while integrating cutting-edge guidance systems. The Sentinel was designed to fly further and lower, avoiding radar detection, and capable of striking hardened targets deep within enemy territory. After years of testing, it was seen as the next logical step in maintaining America’s strategic edge.

During one of its early test flights, however, the program faced a grim setback. A malfunction in the missile's guidance system caused it to veer off course, resulting in the death of a test operator on the ground. The accident sparked outrage and led to an internal investigation, with many questioning if the project should continue. Despite the tragedy, production of the AGM-90 moved forward after adjustments were made, with the missile quietly entering service, its development now overshadowed by the fatal incident.

Instructions:
1. Connect using pylon not on missile
2. Point aircraft to target
3. Lock and fire
4. Immediately after firing activate 1 and make it active until the missile hits target
5. Pressing 1 activates the unfolding of wings of missile, it can fly without 1 but it would not look good.
