English: Picture of an Atoll Missile
Atoll is the NATO code name for the Soviet K-13, a copy of the US. Sidewinder air-to-air, heat-seeking missile. The Atoll originated in 1958, when a Sidewinder fired from a Taiwanese F-86 fighter in the Taiwan Strait lodged in an aircraft of the People’s Republic of China but did not detonate.
China recovered the missile intact and turned it over to the Soviet Union, which copied the design. mass-produced the missile, and exported Atolls to its client states. The Atoll has the same basic dimensions as the Sidewinder but has been modified over the years. It is still in use. Picture taken at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, USA. |
