Subject: Mighty Mouse FFAR - In your opinion...
DropBear    3/30/2006 11:54:55 PM
...Do you think this was a good/effective system or a stop-gap between better A2A missile platforms of the time. In otherwords, was there much point adopting these rockets for use in the SabreDog, Scorpion and Delta Dagger in light of other options such as Genie, Falcon and Sidewinder derivatives? Thoughts...

Germans used rockets to unglamorous results at the tail end of WW2. I can't imagine the mighty mouse would of faired much better unless used against some of the worst manuevering bombers, like maybe the Buff or Valiant.

icecream rockets are rockets with warheads vaguely shaped like the old icecream cone. My old pommy neighbour in canberra was a tempest pilot, and he referred to them as icecream rockets. ;)

My be you could rig it to have a high Fragmentation warhead, and maybe a primitive proximity fuse> i.e. ?whiskers?? big ones. That will help in its Air to air role don?t you think Your opinions on my idea?
