AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile HARM

The AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) is a tactical, air-to-surface missile designed to home in on electronic transmissions coming from surface-to-air radar systems. It was originally developed by Texas Instruments (TI) as a replacement for the AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 Standard ARM system. Production was later taken over by Raytheon Corporation (RAYCO) when they purchased TI's defense business.

The AGM-88 can detect, attack and destroy a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose. A smokeless, solid-propellant, dual-thrust rocket motor propels the missile at speeds over Mach 2. HARM, a Navy-led program, was initially integrated onto the A-6E, A-7 and F/A-18 and later onto the EA-6B. RDT&E for use on the F-14 was begun, but not completed. The Air Force introduced HARM on the F-4G Wild Weasel and later on specialized F-16's equipped with the HARM Targeting System (HTS).

@sbsforce Not all of us Americans are idiots- some of us like myself knew the KLA were brutal thugs and were and are afraid of them turning the birthplace of Serbia into a terrorist state.

@sbsforce

i agree with you and im so sorry that a CUNT named martti ahtisaari is from my country i concider him as the lowest filt that this nation has ever produced, all the UN globalists are rats and enemys of humanity

@Countryfirst100 You don't even know what you're talking about. It's the same situation as Mexicans in the US... Albanians got in illegally form Albania to our (Srebian) teritory and made terrorist organizations witch killed civilians of Serbian origin, what were we supposed to do? Let them kill our people? You're county helped them commit ethnic cleansing by pleading "Serbian brutality"... the result is 10% percent of Serbs left in Kosovo. 1001 Serb killed on your watch!

@sbsforce Ethnic cleansing committed against YOUR OWN POEPLE is a disgrace. We might have committed errors when it comes to dealing with other nations, but we do not cleanse each other in the US.

@Countryfirst100 And as for the EU membership, the majority of Serbs are against it, but since we happen to have a government on the western payroll the whole country's politics is towards that. As for the other comments about the Yugoslavia desintegration you may notice a strange pattern of countries falling apart wherever america tries to impose "justice". Vietnam, Bolivia, Iraq, Afganistan, Yugoslavia, Libya, .... I know why my country was destroyed... To buy factories for pittance.

@Countryfirst100 You don't know the first thing about being a homosapiens. Our culture exists for one and a half thousand years. You will not judge me based on your ignorance. My people have the morality standards your pathetic country will never have killing children all around the world to have cheap gasoline. Instead of trying to defend your poor excuses for "justice" maybe you should think why Americans are brainwashed conformists, and why the rest of the world hates you.

[Countryfirst100]

@sbsforce Instead of begging the EU for a chance of becoming an EU member you should first prove that you are homo-sapiens. A bunch of undeveloped and savage animals.

@jestersd Do you mean like when Serbs raping and slaughtering civilians was scened and filmed by BBC and CNN to justify the bombing. As for the ethnic cleansing spree, you can take a look at the ethnic map of kosovo and see who did the cleansing. American idiots only know what you see on tv or what you were told. You have never seen the savagery of the Albaninas when they killed whole families of Serbs, took away their lands and houses, killed them and sold their organs.You ARE the blind one!
