The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a highly successful short-range air-to-air missile that first saw service with the US Navy in 1956 and later became an essential part of the US Air Force arsenal in 1964. Since its introduction, the Sidewinder has continued to prove itself as a reliable international favorite, with its latest models remaining standard issue in most western-aligned air forces around the world.[3] The Soviet Union's K-13, a reverse-engineered version of the AIM-9, was also widely adopted by numerous countries.
