McDonnell GAM-72 Quail Missile
The Quail was an aerial decoy missile carried by SAC B-52 bombers, and when launched could confuse and reduce the effectiveness of enemy surface-to-air radar systems. It was used during bombing missions to confuse enemy radars by mimicking the exact radar signature, speed, altitude and maneuvers of actual bombers.
