:hmm: I wonder if Northrop ever contemplated such changes to their original design....

Now you’re gonna have to change that Sparrow into an Apex or Anab... an Alamo at absolute latest...

Those were the NATO code names of some Soviet radar guided air to air missiles. AA-3 Anab, AA-7 Apex, and AA-10 Alamo. All are rough equivalents in role of the Sparrow being Semi Active Radar Homing and medium range. The AA-4 Ash and AA-6 Acrid were much bigger and heavier in that role, being designed as bomber destroyers with longer range as well.

Thank you so much for the explanation, Stik. I was actually looking up planes earlier and gave up.
