	Dassault Super Étendard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Super Étendard had been developed in parallel with a new air-launched version of Aérospatiale's anti-shipping missile, the AM 39 Exocet, and these were supplied to Argentina as well.
		Five Super Étendards were loaned to Iraq in 1983 while the country waited on deliveries of the Dassault Mirage F1s that had been ordered.
		All Super Étendards are expected to be retired from French service by 2010, to be replaced from 2006 onwards with a navalised version of the Dassault Rafale.

	Argentine Aircraft in the Falklands
		The Super Etendard behind them is the 0752/3-A-202, the plane used by Bedacarratz on May 4th 1982 during the mission against the Sheffield, and the aircraft flown by Alejandro Francisco on May 30th 1982.
		The 'eyes' of the Super Etendards were the Neptunes, but on May 15th these machines were deactivated from active service, due to the lack of spare pieces and the obsolescence of their radar crystals.
		The plan was that once the Super Etendards launched the remaining Exocet, the Skyhawks followed the trail of the missile and hit the carrier with their 227 kgs (500 pounds) bombs.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Dassault Super Etendard
		The original Dassault-Breguet Etendard IV, from which the Super Etendard descended, first flew in 1956 wearing the triangular flag insignia alluding to the meaning of the aircraft name in French: “Standard”.
		The Super Etendard - which first flew in 1974 and entered service in 1978 - is a significantly updated version of the Etendard IV sporting an advanced weapons system and a modern navigation and combat management suite.
		During development Romain was able to discuss the flight dynamics of the Super Etendard at length with pilots from Flotille (Squadron) 11F at Landivisiau BAN.

		Furthermore, none of the 71 Super Etendards being delivered were supposed to replace the IVP in the recce mission.
		The Etendard IVP were handed over at the Dassault assembly line at Bordeaux-Mérignac, and flew towards their temporary "nest" at Istres-Le Tubé.
		Sixteen years after it received its first Etendard, the squadron had logged no les than 54 700 hours and 10 875 traps on Etendard IVM and P. On June 27th 1980, the Etendard IVM made its last flight and on September 5th 1980 the first Super Etendards were delivered.

	SUPER ETENDARD
		The Super Etendard is a carrier-based single-seat strike fighter first introduced into service in 1978.
		This led to the design of the Mystère XXII (Etendard II), Mystère XXIV (Etendard IV) and Mystère XXVI (Etendard VI), developments which were remarkable for improving lift so that take-off and landing became possible at reduced speeds.
		The naval single-seater combat aircraft, Dassault Super-Etendard, is a modernized version of the Etendard IV M. Main modifications include updating of the weapons system through the installation (a first for a French production aircraft) of a modern navigation and combat management system.

		It is an updated version of the Etendard IV M, which was the first naval aircraft developed by Dassault and made its maiden flight 21st May 1958.
		Fourteen Super Etendards, armed with Exocet missiles and flown by Argentinean pilots, proved the jet’s combat effectiveness during the Falklands War with Britain in 1982.

		The Etendard was originally envisioned as a NATO strike fighter, but was ultimately accepted only as a carrier-based fighter for the French Navy in 1956.
		Though nearly replaced by a variant of the Jaguar, the French later authorized Dassault to build an improved Super Etendard with a new navigation/attack system, a better engine, and improved aerodynamics.
		Though the Super Etendard ended up having far worse performance than the Jaguar, it was accepted by the French Navy and continued to serve until the early 2000s when replaced by the Rafale M.

		For the Mirage IVP, he used a fixed number: "We possess 15 missiles." For the Mirage 2000N and Super Étendard aircraft, however, Mitterrand was less precise: "These forces possess 45 missiles," indicating that the exact number may depend on the number of operational aircraft.

		Modifications to the ship to permit its operation of the new Super Etendard aircraft were incomplete and there was no shipboard employment during the war.
		The Etendard's primary mission in the Argentine Navy, however, involves the launching of the Exocet AM-39 missile.1 The Argentines ordered fourteen of the Super Etendard aircraft from France in 1979.
		Because of the low altitude flown by the Super Etendards and their distance from the targets when the missiles were fired, the Harriers and the Sea Dart missile systems were unable to detect and engage launching aircraft.

		As the name suggests the Super Etendard is based on an old aircraft of the 1950's which was remodelled over 2 decades.
		Standard weaponry includes 2x30mm Cannon and for anti ship strike the famous Exocet missile which made it so potent during the Falklands war, other typical loads include four LR 150 rocket launchers, or four 400lb conventional bombs, one option in French service was a 150 kiloton stand off nuclear weapon.
		The first Super Etentards were delivered to the French navy in 1978.During the 1982 Falklands War the Super Etendard became world famous as the most destructive of the Argentine airforces combat aircraft destroying a British warship (HMS Sheffield) and a British merchant ship(Atlantic Conveyor) which was part of the task force.

		In addition to the more powerful engine and radar set, the Super Etendard was designed to carry a variety of new weapons, amongst them the new anti-shipping Exocet missile.
		Super Etendards and the Exocet were again in the world view during the 'Tanker Wars' in the Gulf of Arabia in 1987, when several Iraqi flown Super Etendards managed to hit some Iranian tankers during that brief time of trouble.
		After the area settled down, the Super Etendards were returned to France, who had only leased the aircraft to Iraq.

	Heller 1/72 Super Etendard
		A jet powered naval strike aircraft, the Super Etendard was developed as a replacement in the 1970's for the French Navy's old Etendards, and after reviewing various types, such as the Vought A-7 Corsair, McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and the Sepecat Jaguar M, the Super Etendard was accepted.
		Super Etendards saw action in the Falklands with Argentina and in the Iran-Iraq war, acquitting themselves well in both conflicts.
		Also a minor letdown was the absence of any options, and multiple versions, but all I wanted was a Super Etendard, so this did not matter to me. Assembly was mostly a breeze, and so was the painting.

	AVSIM Commercial Add-On Review: Alpha Super Etendard
		First flown in 1974, the Super Etendard was designed as a replacement for the French Navy's aging Etendard fleet to fly from land bases and the "Clemenceau" class Fleet Carriers.
		In 1982, when the battle for the Falklands/Malvinas took place, the Argentine Navy possessed five Super Etendards, one of which was probably out of action for part or all of the conflict and was used for spares.
		Despite only having four aircraft and a very limited number of AM.39 Exocet Air-to-Surface missiles (the Super Etendard's most effective weapon), the very real threat they posed was the cause of major headaches for the British fleet commanders throughout the conflict.

		Although the French Navy then operated about 67 Super Etendard strike fighters, only 50 aircraft were identified to be upgraded.
		The Super Etendard NG program will extend the life of the aircraft until early in the 21st Century.
		Anemone has the advantage of being a very small radar (determined by the accessible volume in the nose of a Super Etendard) which should make it suitable for use in light-strike and ex-Russian aircraft.

		The Foch is thought to have routinely carried nuclear weapons until it was decommissioned.
		Until the first Rafale M squadron is introduced in 2002, the ship will carry a single squadron of Super Étendards (presumably with about 10 ASMPs).

		In the early 70's the French Navy needed to replace its obsolescent Etendard carrierborne aircraft, and were seriously considering the Jaguar.
		The Super Etendard features were proved in three Etendard conversions and the prototype (per se) first flew in October 1975, revealing much improved performance and operational capability without sacrificing the carrier compatibility.
		There is of course nothing stopping you from choosing the two tone blue-grey and Intermediate Blue wrap around camouflage version that is also seen on current French Super Etendards.
