ESSM_4 dummies

Hi Totoro,
you sound so well informed on the ESSM subject!
I’ve got a question, being dead interested as well : I read in a magazine that the ESSM could not be fired by wind upper to 35 knots. It adorned me low. What’s happened against divers?
In the same magazine, i read that the minimal distance of interception is 2.5 nqs, because of the high speed of the missile. Is that true?
Thanks mate!
