POPEYE (AGM-142)

In 1985 Israel introduced a high destructive air to surface missile, the Popeye or AGM-142 “Have Nap” according to U.S. designation. The first model had inertial, infrared image or TV guidance, having the peculiarity that once launched, another platform could guide the missile towards the target, allowing the launch aircraft to leave the area. Since then, other versions have appeared, such as the lighter Popeye II or Popeye Lite, the Popeye Turbo ALCM cruise type with a range of 200km, the “Have Rain” anti-ship type and the controversial Popeye Turbo SLCM cruise type and submarine launch, which is believed to have nuclear capacity and a range of 1500km.
