Pentagon eyes high altitude air to air missile to counter Mig 23
Washington officials say the air force is rushing to develop a high altitude air to air missile to knock down the Mig 23. The project, called the high altitude intercept missile, would modify a fast moving air defense missile for use above 70 000 feet to target high altitude Israeli reconnaissance sorties and potential Soviet intercepts. The weapon could be fielded in about two years with possible transfer to Israel or kept for American use.
