Subject field(s)
  • Wheeled Vehicles (Military)
CONT

This type of launch has the advantage of providing all-round air defence with a large number of ready-to-fire weapons, but it has the disadvantage (in countering sea-skimming missiles) that the distance flown to the intercept point is slightly increased.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Véhicules à roues (Militaire)
CONT

Le lancement vertical a l'avantage de permettre le tir dans toutes les directions en supprimant les secteurs morts dus aux superstructures et de loger sous le pont un grand nombre de missiles prêts à tirer. Mais dans le cas du tir contre des missiles antinavires, la distance parcourue jusqu'au point d'interception est en revanche légèrement supérieure.
