I was aware of what I was talking about.....you still miss the point..... let me put it in capital letters... THERE IS NO POINT IN FIXING GUIDANCE SYSTEMS ON TO FUEL AIR BOMBS....let alone infrared ones which seek a heat source or a marker
Got it???
:):):):):):) ML, just checked online for a little more info - are you sure about the above? I saw the description below for a russian FAE. Seems to be guided, not infra-red, perhaps, but the principle of no FAE needing guidance seems suspect. Please see link
Now please don't call me a sheep. I am just following your principle of checking multiple sources :)
