Comprehensive Air-to-Air Missile Collection

Our air-to-air missile selection features the weapons that defined aerial combat for over six decades. The AIM-9B Sidewinder represents the legendary heat-seeking missile that revolutionized air combat when introduced in the 1950s. This iconic weapon became the most successful air-to-air missile in history, scoring hundreds of kills from Vietnam through modern conflicts. The AIM-9B's distinctive canard control surfaces, infrared seeker head, and sleek aerodynamic profile make it instantly recognizable and essential for any Cold War-era fighter aircraft.

The AIM-7E Sparrow showcases medium-range radar-guided missile technology that provided beyond-visual-range engagement capabilities for F-4 Phantoms, F-14 Tomcats, and F-15 Eagles. This semi-active radar homing missile featured distinctive cruciform fins, recessed guidance antennas, and the characteristic long, slender profile that distinguished it from heat-seeking missiles. The Sparrow served as the primary medium-range air-to-air weapon for U.S. fighters for over four decades.

The Fairey Fireflash represents early British guided missile technology, featuring the unique twin-boom configuration that housed the target aircraft between two rocket motors. This distinctive design makes it a fascinating addition to British fighter aircraft models from the 1950s, showcasing the experimental nature of early air-to-air missile development.

Advanced Air-to-Surface Weapons

Our air-to-surface missile collection spans from early guided weapons through modern precision strike systems. The AGM-142 Popeye represents sophisticated standoff strike capability, featuring television or imaging infrared guidance that allows pilots to engage targets from extended ranges while viewing real-time video from the missile's seeker. Israeli F-15I and F-16I aircraft employed this weapon for precision strikes requiring standoff engagement beyond enemy air defense ranges.

The AGM-12C Bullpup showcases early command-guided missile technology used extensively during Vietnam. This manually guided weapon required pilots to visually track the missile and steer it to the target using radio commands, representing the transition from unguided rockets to precision-guided munitions. The AGM-62 Walleye advanced this concept with television guidance, allowing fire-and-forget engagement of high-value targets.

The AGM-123 Skipper II combined laser guidance with rocket propulsion for enhanced standoff capability against hardened targets. The AGM-130 powered standoff missile provided extended range precision strike with television or imaging infrared guidance. The AGM-119 Penguin specialized in anti-ship operations with infrared guidance optimized for maritime targets.

Specialized Anti-Radiation and Cruise Missiles

Our collection includes specialized weapons designed for suppression of enemy air defenses and strategic strike missions. The AGM-45 Shrike pioneered anti-radiation missile technology, homing on enemy radar emissions to destroy surface-to-air missile sites. Wild Weasel F-105G and F-4G aircraft carried these missiles on dangerous SEAD missions over North Vietnam and subsequent conflicts, attacking radar-guided air defense systems that threatened strike packages.

The AGM-78 Standard ARM advanced anti-radiation capabilities with longer range and improved guidance, providing enhanced standoff capability against sophisticated air defense networks. The KEPD 350 air-launched cruise missile represents modern standoff strike technology with autonomous navigation and precision targeting for strategic missions.

Soviet/Russian weapons include the Kh-59M Ovod-M (AS-18 Kazoo) air-to-surface missile with television guidance for precision strikes. The Ruhrstahl X-1 Fritz X showcases WWII-era German guided bomb technology, representing the earliest operational precision-guided munitions used in combat.
