H1MIN: RUHRSTAHL X-4 WIRE GUIDED MISSILE
Ғылым және технология
The Rurhstahl X-4 was a liquid fueled, wire guided, air-to-air missile in development by Germany in WWII. While too late to have any impact, it did provide research into the future development of wire guided missile technology.
By late 1944 about 1,300 missile assemblies had been built, but the factory making the motors had been heavily bombed leaving few motors to be used. Ironically, the Allied bomber formations that these missiles were intended for destroyed the capability of these missiles from reaching Luftwaffe units.

Most of technologies was introduced too late to change the war, and from 1943 Wermacht was only retreating with low amount of supplies and oil. If germany capture the Moscow in 1941, the war could be winned easily by Germans and then conquer the world, like at some movies or games.

@@samirmonako1527 Economics. The US, UK and USSR were 3 largest economies of the time (IIRC). All three were big enough and had territory far enough from the Axis powers that they had plenty of factories which couldn't be bombed. In short, they could mass produce the latest and greatest weapons, whereas the Axis only had a handful. Even then, not all were well used. Consider, for instance, the engagement when experienced pilots from the experienced "Tuskegee Airmen" group in propeller-powered P-51s defeated 9* German Me 262 jet fighters for no losses of their own (the Germans were less experienced). Consider also, from a purely strategic perspective, that the V2 was a waste of time and resources better spent on the V1 (The V1 could be shot down, meaning many Allied air defenses were tied up behind friendly lines instead of protecting troops on the front). * 3 confirmed "kills", 3 "probable" kills and 3 "damaged."

That is definetly a threat. They were thinking about arming jet fighters with this missile, but refrained from it, since they came to the conclusion that flying a plane and controlling the missile was too difficult for a single pilot, so the missile would have mostly been used on two seated planes.

@@chucknorris6640 The US deployed the glide bomb and sunk japanese ships 37km away from the launch point. It was not only made, deployed, but proven and did see combat use. This was the only example of a active radar autopiloted missile in ww2. German missiles had to rely mainly on MCLOS from the launch vehicle and even at best MCLOS was achieved via radio.

@@fulcrum2951 I could definetly see it being possible. Since it had a proximity fuse and an 8m kill radius, and it was targeted at slow bombers, flying mostly in a straight line it would have basically been a job of firing the missile and adjusting so that the red flare was always over the bomber formation. You have to remember that the targets were not single planes but big groups of often over a dozen planes flying in a tight formation.

they were only ahead in rocket technology and had a little more patience when developing stuff. im researching alot about the wunderwaffen but theres to almost anything an american or british couterpart that was performing slightly worse and thus wasnt introduced to the allied armed forces while germany fielded everything . for example camera tubes that were used in tv guided bombs were developed by germans and americans but this work stopped during the war and both sides developed their own cameras. the germans had the better camera but the americans actually fielded a tv guided bomb. different story with the rockets , the v2 and wasserfall rocket was decades ahead of anything any other nation had during the war
