Rafael introduces Python 5, the latest member of the Python Air-to-Air Missile Family. The new, fifth generation air-to-air missile provides the pilot engaging an enemy aircraft with a full sphere launch capability.
Three years after its introduction, the Israeli Python 5 air-to-air missile finally got its first combat kill. This happened on August 7th, when an Israeli F-16 was sent to shoot down a Hizbollah UAV off the coast.
