	Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Python is the common name for the Boidae Family of nonvenomous constricting snakes—specifically the subfamily Pythonidae.
		Pythons are constrictors, and feed on birds and small mammals, killing them by literally squeezing them to death.
		Large pythons usually would eat something about the size of a house cat, but 100 pound (45 kg) wild boar are eaten as well.

	Python 5
		By definition, the Python 5 is considered to be a short range air-to-air missile, yet its range exceeds regular air-to-air missiles, and is more close to what is technically called BVR (beyond visual range) missiles.
		From the moment the Python 5 is launched, its head seeker scans the designated area constantly while it flies in a direct path to the estimated location of the target.
		The Python 5, which acquires a sharp image of the target can home on the most critical areas of the aircraft, such as the cockpit or the central area, and significantly improve the chances for a shot down.

		In this manner for example, the competitors of “rafael” in the prestigious club of air to air missile manufacturers, emphasized again and again the fact that Python-4 is not using a system of vector steering which is popular in modern air to air missiles.
		Rafael engineers came to the conclusion that the unique configuration, which is making use of very large number of aerosynamical steering surfaces, has not exploited most of its potensioal in python-4.
		Regarding the LOBL ability: the Python 5 is meant to be used together with a special helmet which tracks the eyes of the pilot.

		Rafael is unveiling the latest generation of its Python air-to-air missile, considered to be the most advanced of its kind.
		Python 5 is currently undergoing flight tests and is expected to become operational with the Israeli Air Force in 18 months.
		Rafael considered the benefits of thrust vectoring, but decided that the current configuration is superior, as it has more energy and maneuverability in the end-game phase, where thrust vectoring systems loose energy due to rocket burnout.

	Fourth Generation AAMs - The Rafael Python 4
		The fourth generation Python 4 was developed during the late eighties and early nineties, deploying on Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighters during the early nineties.
		As a result of these design features, the Python 4 seeker is credited with the capability to engage and track targets throughout most of the forward hemisphere (the exact figure has not been disclosed, UK sources suggest in excess of 60 degrees off-boresight capability), with a high but undisclosed tracking rate.
		The Rafael Python 4 is the first fourth generation dogfight missile to be operationally deployed in the West, in use on the F-15C and F-16C of the Israeli Air Force.
