My Bad. I knew the Sidewinder was around for a long time; I was
actually referring to the cruise missiles, which weren't extensively used
until recently, at least, not in such a graphical manner as that in the Gulf
War. Especially non-nuclear cruise missiles, which was what I believe Neil
was discussing.
As for calling a V1 a cruise missiles... well..

Right. The MS does have a disadvantage in that it is so much
vertically larger than a tank; this makes them a big target for AT missiles.
I recall in one of Kondo's work, a Zaku was actually brought down by AT
missiles.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.
Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
