“The state-of-the-art missile weighs about 400kg and has a range of 100 nautical miles,”
Isn’t that the same range as a 30 year old Exocet?
No-the earliest Exocets had only a third of that range while being far heavier.
No, the Exocet anti-ship cruise missile has considerably shorter range than the Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile. The Exocet MM-38, MM-39, MM-40 missiles have ranges of 38, 39, and 40 kilometers or about one-fifth (19 to 20 nautical miles) the range of the Kongsberg NSM (100 nautical miles).
