Why Wreckage Of The Three Shot Down Objects Is So Hard To Find

Most people do not realize just how big an AIM-9X is. It’s a large pole that moves at over Mach 2 with sharp fins around its nose and tail. One careening through a small fragile target floating in the wind that is likely similarly sized, or at least not much longer in diameter than the length of the missile itself, would do severe damage to it.

So, the question is what’s left to recover? Possibly not much at all depending on the target and the dynamics of how the AIM-9X engages it.
