The astonishing sensitivity of heat-seeking missiles! 🤯

This incredible footage demonstrates just how sensitive a heat-seeking missile's infrared (IR) sensor is. The smoke and ember of a single cigarette are enough to "light up" the seeker head and cause the missile's tracking system to lock on and begin following the tiny heat source.

It's a powerful reminder of the sophisticated engineering behind these weapons, designed to track the intense heat signature of a jet engine, but capable of picking up a fraction of that heat. From the high-powered engines of an aircraft to the small, smoldering tip of a cigarette, the IR sensor doesn't miss much.

This test highlights the challenges aircraft face in evading detection and the effectiveness of IR countermeasures like flares! Technology is mind-blowing.
