Pros and cons
Pros:
- All aspect missile
- Fast missile
- Long range
- Good explosive mass, can obliterate any plane
- Quite nimble for a long-range missile
Cons:
- Poor manoeuvrability and acceleration
- You must lock targets for the rear-aspect, otherwise the missile will be avoided

History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
