has gloss | eng: The SS.12 and AS.12 are two variants of the same missile: SS for surface-to-surface and AS for air-to-surface. It was designed in 1955-1957 by Nord Aviation, later AƩrospatiale. It was a derivative of the NORD SS-10 and SS-11 missiles which were air-to-ground wire-guided missiles for use by infantry, vehicle or a helicopter primarily in the anti-tank role, but also anti-material, anti-personnel and against light field fortifications. The SS.12/AS.12 was basically an upscale version of the SS.11/AS.11 with a massive increase in range and warhead weight. The SS.12/AS.12 original mission was primarily to be anti-shipping from naval helicopters and combat aircraft or ground launchers, and secondary for use against heavy field fortification. It's range and warhead is equal to a 5 inch naval cannon shell. |
