Military Weapons The World Didn’t Think Were Possible
RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM)
This is a RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) in action during a live-fire exercise aboard amphibious assault ship USS Bataan. The RIM-116 is an infrared homing surface-to-air missile. Compact and lightweight, this guy helps defend against anti-ship cruise missiles and airborne threats that are up to ten miles away.
It’s called a rolling airframe missile for the way it rolls on a longitudinal axis, which helps stabilize the trajectory of the missile. Besides to the U.S., this weapon is widely used by other foreign navies including that of Germany, Saudi Arabia, Tukey, Egypt, and South Korea.
There’s even a missile system that’s so accurate, its speed and range are classified!
