The Red Top missile was developed as a modern, short-range, guided air-to-air missile following the concept of the Firestreak missile. Its most well-known use was as armament for English Electric Lightning fighters, which played a key role in the air defense of the United Kingdom during the 1960s and 1970s. It is worth noting that Red Top missiles were also used during NATO exercises and in operations aimed at protecting UK territory during the increasing tension of the Cold War.
