	Saar 4
		In the early 1970s Gabriel anti-ship missiles were installed on “Saar 2'' and “Saar 3” “Jaguar'' type missile boats, as well as two Israeli built missile boats of the “Reshef”' class (“Saar 4”) which were based on a completely new design and construction by Israeli Shipyards.
		A decade later, the long-range Harpoon missiles were introduced, as well as extended range Gabriel II missiles anymore advanced systems, implementing lessons learned during the Yom Kippur War (1973).
		The Saar 4 (Saar) missile boats were built at the Israel shipyards and based on Israel Navy designs grounded in accumulated experience derived in the operation of "cherburg" (Saar 3).

		The Kormoran is a mid-sized antiship missile, with triangular sweptback cruciform wings mounted on its midsection, and cruciform tailfins.
		The Gabriel has been successively updated to the current "Gabriel III" missile, with twice the range and a substantially different external appearance from the Gabriel I. It is available in both ship-launched and air-launched versions, with the air-launched version known as the Gabriel III "A/S" (Air to Surface).
		While the Gabriel I used a semiactive radar homing seeker that required the launch platform to keep the target illuminated by radar, the Gabriel III has a dual-mode seeker that can be operated in "fire and forget" or "fire and update" modes.

		Cruise missiles that are configured to carry and dispense submunitions constitute a particularly severe threat to troops in the field and to nonarmored vehicles such as trucks.
		Such a missile need not always be totally destroyed—degraded performance in the form of diminished accuracy for the guidance sensors or a partial loss of aerodynamic control authority may be enough to cause it to miss its intended target.
		First, the missile must be guided to fly to a point where, based on a target track developed by an external sensor, there is reason to expect that the terminal sensor on the cruise missile will be able to acquire the intended target.

		At a predetermined distance from the target, the semi-active radar is switched on, the target is acquired, and the missile descends to one of its three possible preset attack altitudes for the final approach.
		The missiles are carried on a towed trailer, with six missiles in their canisters raised to the vertical before launch.
		Fifty Jericho-I missiles are reportedly deployed on mobile launchers close to nuclear-warhead facilities and 100 are allegedly deployed at Kfar Zehariya in the Judean Hills.

		Above and behind the particle cannon is a large, drum-shaped rotory missile launcher, which is right next to the gunner’s compartment which is on top of and behind the pilot’s compartment, forming a second half-tier on the left side.
		The typical tactic for a Gabriel pilot is to rush past his target at full speed and focus his attention on avoiding obsticles and enemy fire, while the gun's auto-tracking takes care of the enemy.

		GABRIEL III/AS The Israeli Gabriel III/AS is an advanced offshoot of the original Gabriel ship-to-ship missile system.
		The original Gabriel was a small, canister fired sea skimmer, designed to attack enemy vessels at wavetop level, making its approach extremely hard to detect.
		The guidance system of the Gabriel III/AS enables it to fly so low that it must be pre-set according to the current size of the waves.

	Anti-ship missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An anti-ship missile (AShM) is a military missile designed for use against naval surface ships.
		Most AShMs are of the sea-skimming, subsonic variant, and use a combination of inertial guidance and radar homing.
		Countermeasures against AShMs include anti-missile missiles such as the Sea Sparrow missile, CIWS, and various decoy systems.

		In the mid-1980s, the Egyptian effort to manufacture missiles, code-named Badr 2000, was resumed with participation in the Condor missile project, along with Iraq and Argentina.15 An Egyptian official was arrested in the US for attempting to smuggle carbon-carbon materials used for warheads.
		The threat posed by the proliferation of missiles in the Middle East continues, and the failure to slow this process could have an important impact on the future of the MTCR in the region.
		The Israeli ballistic missile capability, and thus, the need to export this technology, is the result of the threat to national survival posed by the Arab and Islamic states.

		Canada will need a missile defense defense, so if the US will launch an interceptor against an incoming nuclear warhead, Canada must be able to shoot down the interceptor if it enters its airspace without permission.
		Missile defense is a little silly in more ways than one, but what does this mean from a deployment standpoint?
		This is really all an extremely moot point until somebody actually designs a missile defense system that can hit real incoming missiles with reliability, and not just in a tightly controlled test and only part of the time.

		In the anti-ship missile role the Barak leaves the launcher and is turned over towards the target by the thrust vector control system at the base of the missile which is automatically discarded, presumably by explosive bolts, upon completion of launch.
		The missile is acquired and controlled by the fire-control radar which then guides it towards the target.
		Its potent mix of missile corvettes and submarines, in concert with the surveillance and strike aircraft of the RSAF, can control the waters surrounding Singapore, and allow it to exert control over the length of the Singapore Strait, one of the world's most vital waterways, and further a field.

		In fact, Egypt used a "Styx-class" missile boat to sink the "Eliat." The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) sent naval officers to Europe to look for this do-it-all boat on which to place 'Gabriel' along with the hopes of the future navy.
		Each 14,000 hp missile boat had to charge its enemy at full speed to close the range gap, under fire, with many miles to put under the keel before it could realistically open fire itself.
		Although the Russian Styx had a range of 50 km and the Israeli Gabriel just 25 km, Israel's boats and sea-to-sea missiles were a powerful combination in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

		It said the missiles and electronic firing systems had been removed, but the vessels retained their launch tubes and stabilization sub-systems.
		If they've got a land-based missile that can reach the U.S. mainland, that's actually a good thing, politically, as it broadens the number of nations that can also be hurt by them, which broadens the political pressure that can be brought to bear on NK.

		The Gabriel had only half of the effective range of the missiles the Syrians were using,the Soviet SS-N-2 Styx; a missile which had already sunk an Israeli destroyer six years earlier.
		One of the Israeli boats fired a snap shot Gabriel, but because the target was running for the shore and drew itself out of range, the missile dove ineffectually into the sea.
		Once the missiles drew closer, however, the Israelis began firing their chaff rockets and used the jamming systems on board their ships to send out false radar signals to the incoming missile in an attempt to confuse its on-board computers.
