  • Systèmes de combat (Forces navales)
CONT

Cette méthode de tir a le gros avantage d'être discrète[,] car elle retarde la phase d'illumination et diminue sa durée. De même que certains missiles sol-air à "courte portée" les plus récents sont conçus pour une distance d'interception supérieure à 10 km, celle des missiles "moyenne portée" dépasse souvent 20 km.
