	Can you let me know how a wireguided missile can hit a jet going
several hundred kilometers per hour while a Hellfire goes at a
substantially slower pace? The latest MMW Hellfire doesn't go much
faster IIRC.

	While Hellfires have destroyed stationary, on the ground,
aircraft,
they are of little use against a jet in flight, save as a distraction.
Apache helicopters were designed to carry Stinger or Sidewinders for
self defence against jets. So too are the  Comanche, I believe.
