Talk:HOT (missile)

Name
Can anyone dig up the exact meaning of HOT? I came across it in a Encyclopedia Britannica Micropedia volume, in Warfare I think. The meaning is French and I forgot what exactly it was. Thanks.
 * HOT stands for "Haut Subsonique Optiquement Téléguidé", which means "High Subsonic Optically Guided".

Price
The articles writes:". In 1997, HOT-3 was selected to be the base-line and low-cost missile armament of the Tiger attack helicopter for France and Germany at least until the PARS 3 LR becomes available. The unit cost for the launcher is $6,195 (HOT 3) and $2,450 for the missile." Well, I don't believe that this missile could be so cheap.This information must be wrong.Agre22 (talk) 14:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)agre22

tandem HEAT values of armour penetration
Only a factical question; exist any sources that could confirm the tandem HEAT values, that are written in the Performance realtive to comparable weapons, because only for imagination; the 9K121 Vikhr has a 8-12 kg tandem warhead and only 1000 mm penetration, according to http://www.airwar.ru/weapon/aat/vichr.html, but here is stated that this missile can penetrate with only 6.48 kg tandem HEAT 1250 mm armor. This looks for me highly unlikely, improbable. Or the 9M123 Khrizantema, 8 kg tandem warhead, 1150 mm penetration... Could anyone answer me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.245.64.178 (talk) 16:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * First off, the penetration figures are estimates, and even if accurate, may vary widely depending on the type of armor struck by a warhead. Besides that, design factors of the warhead (such as the liner material and stand-off distance) will affect performance.  Trying to judge effective penetration by the weight of the warhead alone will probably lead one astray. W. B. Wilson (talk) 17:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * My question was if exist any source that could confirm this "estimates". Dont try to lead it from the point. When it is no source-supported estimate, then it is something similar like I would now think me out, that this missile must have more then 2000 mm penetration because it is my opinion. And when you thing that judging the penetration by the weight of the warhead is wrong, then I can say you that expect the situation with this missile, the ratio between the weight of the warhead and the armor penetration behind ERA was around 150, heres 192.    But thats not the point, only I ask is a normal source, that confirms these estimates.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Molny9691 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to "lead" from anything. Your method of estimation is prone to error and simplistic.  If you wish to look for sources, then use Google -- it will find estimates such as this. W. B. Wilson (talk) 06:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:19, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
