The Ruhrstahl X-4, also known as the Ruhrstahl Ru 344 X-4 or the Ruhrstahl-Kramer RK 344, was a wire-guided air-to-air missile designed by Germany during World War II. It did not see operational service and so was never proven in combat, but it inspired considerable post-war missile development around the world and became the basis for several ground-launched anti-tank missiles.
