  • Systèmes d'armes (Forces aériennes)
CONT

Les armes antipistes [...] ont pour objet la destruction des pistes d'envol, objectifs particulièrement résistants et peu sensibles aux armes à effet de surface. Ces armements, largués en vol horizontal à basse altitude, sont freinés, basculent à la verticale, sont accélérés par des fusées pour percuter la surface de la piste à grande vitesse et n'exploser que sous la dalle de béton. Ils créent ainsi d'importants cratères rendant inutilisable la piste aux avions de combat de l'adversaire [...]
