Ок, я согласен Чижом. За реальност.

Но извините - откуда вы слушали то, что AIM-120A - дымный? Насколько я знаю, у него одно и тоже бездымный двигатель как и в AIM-120C.

"Propulsion Section, Weapons Propulsion Unit. The Weapons Propulsion Unit (WPU)-6/B consists of an airframe, integral rocket motor, a blast tube and exit cone, and an Arm/Fire Device (AFD) with a visible safe-arm indicator. The high performance rocket motor utilizes a reduced smoke, hydroxyl terminated, polybutadiene propellant in a boost sustain configuration, an asbestos-free insulated case (an integral part of the airframe), and an integral aft closure, blast tube, and nozzle assembly with a removable exit cone to facilitate control section installation/removal."

"Rocket motor full-scale design and development was initiated with Hughes Aircraft Company in 1979. A 45-motor qualification program was conducted in 1985, and final preflight readiness test (PFRT) deliveries were completed in 1986. Production Lot I began in 1987 and continued until 1995, at which time production was moved to ATK Tactical Systems Company, Rocket Center, West Virginia. Process re-qualification of the AMRAAM motor was initiated in 1994 and completed in August 1995. Production startup at ATK Tactical Systems Company began in September 1995 and continues today."
