They might lock onto a decoy flare… or even a nearby plane. If no new target is found, some explode mid-air, while others crash to the ground. Missing the target doesn’t always mean missing the danger. #missilefacts #militarytech #heatseeking #infraredmissile #realfacts #aero | MindBlow Fact | Facebook
