Resurrecting this, but the Spike-NLOS (Exactor 2) that the UK bought (after the supply of Tamuz was used up) did have a blast fragmentation warhead rather than HEAT. Not sure if we bought HEAT and Blast/Frag. It would be interesting to know as we all tend to assume Exactor could be used in an anti-armour role in the future. If we only have blast/frag versions in stock it might not be that much use (if IIRC the Tamuz that we bought were hard to control due to their higher speed and control surfaces and were at the end of their shelf life). It would be interesting to note what type of warhead the South Koreans have gone for in their version as there is quite a range of targets that they could be called to prosecute.ArmChairCivvy wrote:I would think that Spike ER and Hellfire are about on par as for "explosive scale"... both have been adopted for anti-ship use (but now we are talking about use against vessels coming close to shore; even a full-fat frigate would be stupid to do that, giving away some of its sphere of self protection).
Also it might be my memory, but isn't the Sea Skua warhead angled downwards? I wonder if Sea Venom uses the same trick?
