Exocet Anti-Ship Missile Overview

Advantages:

• Safety: Will not explode if it hits our own planes or ships.
• Agility: Fast maneuvering and high speed.
• Lightweight: Easier to deploy and handle.
• Powerful Explosion: Can cause major damage to enemy targets, potentially leading to their destruction or sinking.
• Versatile Deployment: Can be installed on planes, warships, cargo ships, aircraft carriers, and more.

Weaknesses:

• Range Limitation: Must maintain a safe distance from the target (optimal destruction distance is 2.5 km, minimum safe distance is 2 km). Violating this regulation could result in damage to your own plane or ship.

Fun Fact:

• Destructive Power: Did you know that a single Exocet missile can destroy an entire squadron of the USS Tiny Two?

Wikipedia Overview:

The Exocet (French pronunciation: [?gz?s?]) is a French-built anti-ship missile produced by MBDA, a European missile company. Initially developed in 1967 by Nord as a ship-launched weapon named MM38, it later evolved through various versions to include air-launched and submarine-launched models.

• Development History: The Exocet's development began in 1967, and it entered service in 1975. The air-launched AM39 Exocet began development in 1974 and was introduced to the French Navy in 1979.
• Target Capability: Designed for attacking small to medium-sized warships (e.g., frigates, corvettes, destroyers) and can effectively damage larger vessels with multiple hits.
• Guidance and Evasion: Uses inertial guidance mid-flight, switching to active radar homing near the target. It flies at a very low altitude (1-2 meters above sea level), making it difficult to detect until it is very close.
• Range and Propulsion: The original solid propellant rocket motor gives the Exocet a maximum range of 70 km. The Block 3 MM40 version, with a solid-propellant booster and turbojet sustainer engine, extends the range to over 180 km.
• Replacement: A future cruise/anti-ship weapon is currently under development.
