Testing the Sizzler

No i don’t mean the old strip steak place, i am talking about the Sizzler anti-ship missile that has NATO navies crapping in their hands and smearing it on the wall, and rouge countries smiling.

Well it looks like the Coyote is out chasing the road runner, and the US Navy is moving to use the GQM-163 Coyote to prepare for the Sizzler. The 18-foot long Coyote is fast, agile and a dead ringer for the sizzler in most aspects.

The Coyote is initially boosted by a Hercules MK-70 booster, of similar design to those used by the now obsolete RIM-67 Standard ER missiles. After the booster stage is expended the missile switches to an Aerojet MARC-R-282 solid-fueled ducted rocket/ramjet engine for sustaining its flight.

Here is a pic of the Wiley Coyote whizzing past a navy trainer….Good luck hitting that
