Same thing - the wire is providing control inputs from the operator

He is not talking wire guided, but rather a missle that has a net on it to snare an aircraft and make it crash.
Apparently in WW2 anti aircraft rockets trailing long wires or nets designed to snare aircraft were used. I have heard of a Dornier Do 17 being damaged or destroyed in 1940 by one of these rockets during an attack on an allied airfield. They were apparently also carried on ships. Does any one have any info on these wire/net trailing rockets?
