Historical Information and Application

The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard was one of the flagship carrier-based aircraft of the French Naval Aviation (Marine Nationale). Its operational debut occurred during the Cold War—the aircraft served actively from the late 1970s through the early 21st century. The Super Étendard became famous during the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War, where Argentine aviation used it to conduct several successful attacks with Exocet missiles. The aircraft also took part in various NATO operations.
