Passage: The effectiveness of heat-seeking missiles was only 7% early in the Vietnam War, but improved to approximately 15%–40% over the course of the war. The AIM-4 Falcon used by the USAF had kill rates of approximately 7% and was considered a failure. The AIM-9B Sidewinder introduced later achieved 15% kill rates, and the further improved AIM-9D and J models reached 19%. The AIM-9G used in the last year of the Vietnam air war achieved 40%. Israel used almost totally guns in the 1967 Six-Day War, achieving 60 kills and 10 losses. However, Israel made much more use of steadily improving heat-seeking missiles in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In this extensive conflict Israel scored 171 of out of 261 total kills with heat-seeking missiles (65.5%), 5 kills with radar guided missiles (1.9%), and 85 kills with guns (32.6%). The AIM-9L Sidewinder scored 19 kills out of 26 fired missiles (73%) in the 1982 Falklands War. But, in a conflict against opponents using thermal countermeasures, the United States only scored 11 kills out of 48 fired (Pk  23%) with the follow-on AIM-9M in the Gulf War.
How many misses did the United States have with the follow-on AIM-9M in the Gulf War? How many more kills did Israel score with guns in the Yom Kippur War than in the Six-Day War? How many more kills did Israel score with guns in the Yom Kippur War than the United States in the Gulf War with the follow-on AIM-9M? How many more kills did Israel score with heat-seeking missiles in the Yom Kippur War than with adar guided missiles? How many more kills did Israel score with heat-seeking missiles in the Yom Kippur War than with radar guided missiles? How many more kills did the AIM-9L Sidewinder score in the Falklands War than the United States in the Gulf War? How many of Israel's 261 total kills were not done by heat-seeking missiles? How many percentage points higher was the kill rate of the AIM-9D and J models than the AIM-4 Falcon? How many percentage points higher was the kill rate of the AIM-9D and J models than the AIM-9B Sidewinder? How many percentage points higher was the kill rate of the AIM-9G than the AIM-4 Falcon? How many percentage points higher was the kill rate of the AIM-9G than the AIM-9B Sidewinder? How many percentage points higher was the kill rate of the AIM-9G than the AIM-9D and J models? How many years after the Six-Day War did the Yom Kippur War take place? What all heat-seeking missiles were used in the Vietnam War? What all methods did Isreal score kills in the Yom Kippur War? What percentage was the United States success rate with thermal countermeasures? What type of missile was the most successful for Israel in the Yom Kippur War? When was the effectiveness of heat-seeking missiles better, early in the Vietnam war or over the course of the war? Which heat seeking missles had the lowest success rate? Which heat-seeking missiles had the greatest success rate? Which missile achieved higher kill rates, the AIM-9B or the AIM-9D? Which war occurred first, the Yom Kippur War or the Falklands War? Which war were more kills achieved, The Six-Day War or the Yom Kippur War? Which weapon used in the Yom Kippur War achieved more kills, heat-seeking missiles or radar guided missiles?
