super matra 530f
Equipped with a Dassault Electronique Super AD26 semi-active seeker head and capable of carrying its 30kg(66lbs)fragmentation warhead at speeds up to Mach 4.6 over a maximum range of 40km(25 miles). This was one of the most advanced air-to-air missile of its time. The principal reason was its 9000m(29530ft) snap up capability but also the reported ability to pull 20Gs at an altitude of 17000m(55780ft) or 6Gs at 25000m(82020ft): This made it the most versatile contemporary air-to air missile.
