A/SS-11 trials and plans
Happy New Year and very much appreciated for all the contributions to this thread I started,

I had read somewhere, there were plans to arm the RAF SRT Force Whirlwinds with SS-11 missiles and there were trials. But because of decisions at the time in the late 50s early 60s, any arming of the RAF SRT Helicopters with guided munitons didnt take off so to speak. There were various case studies and visits to French Armee de L'air /ALAT/Aeronavale units in Algeria to see how they operated gunships.

Does anyone have any pics of RAF Whirlwind with A/SS-11?

Cheers
