France test SCALP naval missile

Or build my trademarked Type 46 destroyer with all Sylver A70 cells.:cool:

:(:mad:

Or fit additional cells.

Aren’t the UK purchasing these at some point? Wasn’t there something about the Type 45 destroyers operating them in the future or, don’t I know anything about it?…

Anyway, if they, UK, don’t then, it’s a bit of a shame. Like Bluewings said, it’s a real beast.

They’d have to swap out at least some of the Sylver 50 cells for Sylver 70, as the SCALP-N literally wouldn’t fit in a T45 silo at the moment.

or Argentina ?

No SCALP has UK content for example the warhead.

or Argentina ?

Get real.

That ‘s unfortunate …

The naval Scalp is a hell of a missile , I don ‘t understand why nobody is buying it in small numbers but France …

Here! Here! Sarko has included it in the proposed FREMM arsenal, our Navy wants it, the only minor detail is that we lack the money. 😀

DK :

Tehran or Pyongyang ? 😎

Cheers .

I’d lean towards Pyongyang, since they’re actual crazies (unlike the Iranians who are mostly posturing loudl in a region where it’s the national sport) and deserve a regime change.
Of course it’d be awesome to send the CdG over there 😎

Remember MTCR. The number of potential customers is quite small.

It’d be nice to see it bought by some of those countries instead of TLAM, though.

Plenty of time to show what it’s worth

1000km range , perfectly autonomous (no need GPS) , both radar and IR seeker , 1m precision , really stealthy (it can ‘t be detected by AWACs even American ones) .
A real beast 🙂

Oh, it’s just coming into service life. Plenty of time to show what it’s worth and get foreign buyers !

I thought plans for additional production contracts bit the dust during the French White paper in 2008?

from the url posted above :
France is looking to field 150 Scalp Navals on Fremm frigates starting in 2014, with the 50 submarine-launched weapons due to come into inventory in 2017.

What’s the current number that France are expected to buy?
