Seen this on MSN News, and it seems like I couldn't find a proper general discussion thread to talk about air-to-air missiles, so until there is one, here it goes: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/usaf-testing-mutant-missiles-that-twist-in-mid-air-to-hit-their-targets/ar-AA18qqkW

Hi everyone, as I'm not aware of any thread on this topic, here I'd like to create a thread on the R-60 AAM, famous for being the first dogfight missile to enter service. I know there were "sub-variants" of it so I'd like to share. First here is some background on its development and context...

First we have General Dynamics Pomona's design, which seems to have gone through two distinct phases. In the first it has what appear to be folding wings, while in the later revision the wings seem to be gone. Thanks to Alanqua for the pics...
