Great video! CNG uses the MM40 for costal defense.
Hellenic Armed Forces use MM40 from ships and coastal batteries, and AM39 from Mirage 2000 fighters. Also, still in use from FACs are older MM38
I love this missile. A deadly one.
What defenses have ships evolved against sea-skimming missiles these days? Would a modern exocet still have as much of a chance against shipping as it once did? Very nice piece of hardware.
Regular Merchant vessels still have no defense from an exocet or really any other kind of anti-ship weapon. Modern Navies now have Close In defense systems like CIWS Phalanx and the CIWS Goalkeeper. Both are radar controlled multi-barrel cannons. I think that the rolling airframe missile might also be able to knock out Exocet's from even greater ranges.
i used to think exocet was actually XO-7 in french when i was a kid, lol
“All the Exocet hits were a result of carelessness on my part, or carelessness on other people’s parts, or basically failure of our systems by the people involved including me”
Cocorico!
Good missile !
(si tu veux que plus de monde regarde ton topic, change de titre, tlm sait pas que un Exocet c'est un missile...)
Peut pas changer le titre une fois choisi...
Ostie de bon video !
Dangereux ces choses là ?J'en au vu de près à Montréal le 14 juillet il y a quelques années sur un petit navire équipé pour la guerre nucléaire (gicleurs pour nettoyer les poussiêres radioactives).
Paraît que les Russes ont développé des Exocets voyageant a mach 3 et que le systême AEGIS ne peut rien y faire.
Paraît qu'à cause de celà, les porte avions c'est chose du passé. L'avenir est aux sous marins.
And all the carrier srtike forces sent to the Persian Gulf and waiting there...
[translation]
Dangerous stuff you got there? I've seen some in Montreal on a 14 of July a few years ago on a small ship equipped with a costly sprinkler system to wash out radioactive dust for nuclear warfare.
Looks like the Russians developed a mach 3 version of this against which the AEGIS system can't do much about.
Because of this, it seems the aircraft carrier will become something of the past and the future belongs to submarines.
And all these carrier srtike forces sent to the Persian Gulf and waiting there...
Correct me If i am wrong, but every time I hear about the exocet it has failed.
1: Argentine Vs british. Missile failes to explode
2: Hezbullah versus israel. Iranian version of chinese version failes to explode
Im might be wrong so plz correct if wrong.,..
Even if many fail to explode, they're still much cheaper to build than the ships they're used against.
So it doesn't matter to send a few to sink such high value targets.
About the Argentinians against the British in the Falklands, it was the first time a ship was sunk by an exocet in a war situation. The Argentinians wrote history.
Their crews were not well trained and had not finished training with their french exocet teachers.
As for the " Iranian version of chinese version " missile, I suspect these missiles were in their early uses during the Hezbollah/IDF conflict in Lebanon. This type of sophisticated equipment needs lots of adjustments drawn from actual war use to become effective.
hmm, a video without musik would be cool.only with a sound...
