  1. I remember watching film footage in the 1970's of Soviet fighters simultaneously firing a heatseeking and radar guided missile at a target. The claim for doing this was that the NATO pilot would not be able to deal with both at the same time. What I did notice was how often the second missile shot across in front of the fighter as it locked onto the first missile before acquiring the target. Must have been a few nervous moments for the pilot when he pressed the fire button.

  2. They always made me think of those old Sci Fi magazine illustrations.
