 <!-- ''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the missile.'' -->
 The AIM-9G is part of the AIM-9 Sidewinder family of short-range infrared-guided [[air-to-air missiles]] designed by the US Navy during the early 1950s. The Golf variant improves on the previous [[AIM-9D Sidewinder|AIM-9D]] model by heaving more reliable electronics. The lock-on range, speed, and launch range remain the same as with the Delta. However, the Golf model has a reduced explosive mass as compared to the Delta, although this shouldn't affect its performance too much. As with all Sidewinder variants pre-Lima model they can only attain rear-aspect locks consistently.
 Note that you won't be able to use the Delta variant on USAF aircraft; contemporary USAF aircraft may equip the [[AIM-9E Sidewinder|AIM-9E]] instead.
