La fusée aérienne à ailettes pliantes Mk 4 (FFAR), également connue sous le nom de Mighty Mouse, était une fusée non guidée utilisée par les avions militaires américains. 2.75 pouces (70 mm) de diamètre. Elle a été conçue comme une arme air-air pour les avions intercepteurs pour abattre les bombardiers ennemis, mais fut principalement utilisée comme une arme air-sol. La FFAR a été développée dans la série moderne Hydra 70, qui est toujours en service.

Description
