None of the links in the google search provided a place to purchase these.

[–]NamelessPurity -1 points0 points ago

How did you do that?

[–]ohhhfoshooo -1 points0 points ago

There is a site called "let me google that for you". Check it out

I doubt anyone will get scared, there isn't a flame or exhaust coming from any of the balloons -_-

[–]Nookuler 2 points3 points ago

As a pilot who has fired many missiles, I can tell you that with the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles (and any variation within the AGM-114 family) there is only about 5 seconds of actual flames, the rest is just the initial inertia plus the guidance system working to actually hit the target (using a laser to guide the missile to the intended impact area). It may be different with other missiles, but only by a few seconds, the solid fuel burns up real quick in any missile.

Upvote for knowledge!

Well actually, as me being a pilot as well, I can tell you for sure that it is different with other missiles.

[–]Nookuler 0 points1 point ago

Cool, what missiles? I'm always down to learn.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Great!, then I shall educate you. A missile type I was referring to would be like a sidewinder missile on an AH-64 "Sea Apache."

[–]Nookuler 0 points1 point ago

What country flies the Sea Apache?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Israel, The United States, and Egypt, just to name a few.

[–]Nookuler 0 points1 point ago

Ok I let this go on as long as possible. There is no such thing as a Sea Apache (Source: Me, a U.S. Army AH-64D Apache Longbow Pilot), the Apache never fired Sidewinders, that's an Air-to-Air weapon, the Apache's main mission is Close Combat Support (supporting the ground guys or destroying hard targets). Also, the Sidewinder is also a solid fuel missile, about 10 seconds of thrust before running out. While Israel does have the Apache, they only use it for air to ground combat, no sea duty for them. The U.S. Navy doesn't fly Apaches, only the Army does.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

LOL, You got me! ;)

[–]Nookuler 0 points1 point ago

Also, is that what you fly?
