Why is my thread about indian sailors buying tv sets get deleted but this shit over here >>30670066 isn't?

They fired a missile from an aircraft at it too, and it missed. Why is AIM-9M so shit? Why do you keep making this thread?
Because US is waiting for next-gen industrial basis to mature.
No point in investing in to new system that will be nothing more than de facto upgrade of existing one.
