Did the HS-117 ever have any accredited kills? I know it wasn't used
operationally, but after a number of test launches the Germans must've tried it against a 'live' drone of some kind? I wonder how accurate a radio controlled SAM could be if the operator is staring through a telescopic sight at a target that's no more than a dot 20,000ft away in the clouds? How effective do you think a fragmentation warhead on one of these would be against a tightly-packed formation of B-17s? Pretty ghastly I'd imagine. http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/dsh/...s/RM-Hs117.htm Jim Doyle |
