For all intents and purposes, an AIM-54C is invisible to the naked eye as it dives on it's target at a steep energy retaining angle.
The AIM-54C seeker goes active 20,000 yards from the target. That leaves the target at best 9.2 seconds from first warning to impact to outmaneuever the 19G 135lb blast-frag warhead Phoenix WITHOUT a visual cue and get out of it's lethal radius.
No thanx.

Is it possible to identify the fired missile with a radar when missle is silent and not communicating to its pilot?
Does communication with pilot while guiding/adjusting trajectory give a signla sufficient for indentification?
I heard that newest radars can see a basket ball in 200km distance.... (it was a word statement though)
